This week at the DP World India Championship, McIlroy opted to leave his TaylorMade Qi10 driver behind – a bold move that illustrates that sometimes the smartest decision is to shelve your biggest strength.
While in India for this week’s DP World India Championship, Rory McIlroy revealed he’s actually a cricket “sicko” who will sit down and watch Test matches.
As an equipment writer, this is going to sound sacrilegious, but I’m going to say it anyway: There are ways to gain distance without having to spring for a new driver.
The majority of golfers play a slice off the tee, costing themselves valuable distance. The ball’s significant movement from left-to-right in the air (for right-handers) decreases distance due to the excessive amount of sidespin.
According to TaylorMade tour rep Adrian Rietveld, Scheffler wants “absolutely nothing inside” his driver’s clubhead that might alter performance in any way.
In this modern era, with dozens of weighting options already built into your driver, compounding the search for better performance with the use of lead tape or similar tactics is probably unnecessary and might even risk making your driver non-conforming.
Burns got hotter than Marble Bar in January when he pulled his tee shot badly on the par-4 ninth hole during the third round of the FedEx St Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.
