Hey, welcome back to Golf the Beex’s Winning What’s in the Bag where this week we’re taking a look at Rory Mroyy’s winning what’s in the bag from the 2025 Amjun Irish Open. Hopefully I’m pronouncing that right. Uh I unfortunately was not able to watch the tournament. Had a little busy weekend, but uh it was really cool to see the highlights. I watched him kind of Sunday night and into this morning uh to watch him win in a playoff. Pretty exciting stuff. Really good play from him. Uh and his first win since uh his Masters win and completing the Grand Slam. So congratulations to him. That’s pretty awesome. Uh we’re going to start at the top of his bag. Of course, he is a tailor- made staffer, so everything in his bag is tailorade. Uh I know that previously in some of his what’s in the bags, he’s had a few pieces that have kind of come in and out. Uh but he is all tailor made at the moment. So we’ll start at the top. And of course with Driver, he is playing the Tailor Made Qi10. Uh now this one doesn’t look to be a dot head. When you look on the uh Huzzle there where the loft is, uh there is no dot above the zero in the 9.0. Uh so this looks like to be a standard Qi 10 head. Uh which again uh the dot head was kind of the lower spinning version. This one here is maybe the traditional very similar to retail model. You know out on tour of course they’re going to add hot melt and do some things to them to make them fit exactly how the player wants them. But this looks to be a standard Qi10 which you know who knows Rory may be searching for a little bit more spin to get that those launch conditions and parameters just right. Um but it is a 9° head but it is playing at 8.25°. Uh now the hoszle adapter on that one is set to two clicks in the low position. Uh which again I know that probably doesn’t compute out to 8.25. Uh but that is what we’re told that it’s playing at is 8.25°. So set to a little bit lower. So the face should just be a little bit more open, a little bit lower lofted on that one. Uh but of course this is the Qi10, the one from the previous generation. He has not moved into the Qi35. And by now I’m going to expect that he will probably wait till whatever 2026 has to offer. And at that point, I think he will get a lot of pressure to move into whatever the brand new driver is for 2026. Uh, now this one here is shafted up with a Fujicuro Ventis Black 6X. Uh, this is the low launch low spin shaft from Fujicura. Uh, comes in at 61 65 g and 3.1 degrees of torque. He tips his 1 in uh, in the driver and plays it at 45 in with a D5 swing weight. Now we move into his fairway woods and his first fairway wood is a 3-wood and it is of course as well the tailor made Qi10. This is the 15 degree 3-wood head, bonded hoszle, uh just gloss black top, really traditional, the same one that like Scotty Sheffler plays and a handful of other players. This thing has actually become a cult classic out on tour and in the amateur ranks. This is just one of those threewoods that I think you’re going to see in bags for a long long time. It’s just a great blend of distance, launch, forgiveness, uh and looks. It just uh it kind of checks checks all the boxes out there uh in a 3-wood. And this one here shafted up with a Fujicura Ventus Black 8X. So, the 80 g version of the the Ventus Black uh 85 g, 2.8° of torque. Uh now, this one here is tipped 1/2 in. And he plays his 3-wood at 42 1/2 in. So, a little bit uh a little bit shorter than stock. Uh and he has this at a D4 swing weight. So, then we move into fivewood. And fivewood is going to be another Tailormade Qi10. This time 18° in the fivewood. Uh again, same thing. Kind of bonneted hoszle. Really great blend of easy to throw this thing up in the air. Has some forgiveness, has some distance to it. Uh it just actually is just an all-around performer right there in the fivewood uh spot. Now, this one here is Shafu Ventus Black 8X. This is the original Voicore model that came out in like 2018 19. Uh still played by a ton of players on tour that haven’t had the switch over to the new model yet. Uh but from personally hitting the new model versus the old model, they are pretty darn similar uh in terms of performance. Now, this one here, uh it’s got an ultra stiff handle and tip section and then the midsection is a little bit softer, but still being very stiff. So, the overall profile being pretty darn stout on the Ventus Black. Uh it is one of their lower launching and lower spinning shafts. There is a TR TR Black uh that may launches a little bit lower and spins a little bit less. Uh but the Ventus Black is pretty stout for the uh stronger player, faster swinger. Uh and this one here, he tips two inches uh for the fivewood and plays it at 40 41 and a half inches with again a D4 swing weight on that. Now we move to irons and his irons are a little bit of a combo set. Uh it’s kind of been well known that he plays a different four iron. Uh I believe he’s played got one of these and the three iron as well or possibly two, one of the two. I think he has two of these that go in and out of the bag depending on the course. Uh but his first one is a Tailormade P760 and this is his 4 iron. So, this was a iron that was released back in 2018 and it was kind of I don’t want to say their first jump into speed foam uh inside hollow body design, but it was kind of one of the big ones that was pushed towards the better player. Uh it was very small, very compact, slightly smaller than the P770 and I do believe it was 3 through 7 iron had the hollow body with the P with the speed foam in it, thinner faces to promote more ball speed and then I believe eight through pitching wedge uh had kind of a solid forge construction. But this is a forged hollow body iron. Very minimal offset, thin top line, a little bit thinner sole. Uh so a little bit different look and play than the P770s out there that you see in some people’s bag uh out at the top end. So this one here uh is shafted up with a project X7.0. So extremely stout, extremely stiff for pretty fast players. Uh he plays it at a quarter inch long uh than standard and one degree flat. Now, the rest of his irons are, of course, his Rory uh P or I’m sorry, tailor-made Roars Protos. Uh they’re based off the P730s blank 5 through 9 iron in these. And yeah, they’ve got the channel through there. They’re a forged blade uh just with kind of slight revisions for him. I believe the sole design is slightly different. Uh and it looks like the blade length maybe just a hair shorter with a slightly taller face uh compared to the original P730s. Uh but I’ve not seen photos of them set down side by side, so it’s hard to tell. But usually with these protos uh like they made for Dustin Johnson and uh they made for a few other players uh Justin Rose, these things are just basically built to their kind of specs and usually it is a visual thing uh on there that they want something different than what the P730s offered or what the current blade offers and they play these proto versions. But 5 through 9 iron on these and uh they are also shafted up with the Project X uh 7.0. Now these are the original Project X. Extremely stiff uh profile, very stiff and boardy feel to them. Uh I know there are kind of categories online is low launch, low spin. I think these are more initial high launch but very low spin, very flat trajectory uh once they get up in the air. Great for players of very steep angle of attack or play with a ton of spin. Uh these can kind of help reduce that while adding some consistency. And these here are played at a quarter inch long and one degree flat as well. And his uh iron progression, the loft of his seven iron is 34°. So, uh, plays some pretty traditional, if not slightly weaker than like most, uh, kind of, uh, players distance type irons we’re used to seeing out there. These blades pray pretty traditional, uh, there. Now, wedges, he does have something new in the bag. Uh, and these are he had the brand new tailor-made mil grind fives or MG5s. These are the brand new ones that just came out a little bit ago, and he’s playing four of them. So, the first one is the Mill Grind 5 in the pitching wedge replacement, which is the 469 SB. So, this wedge here is new. Uh, all forged. Uh, compared to the MG3, MG4, those are all cast wedges. Uh, these ones here are actually forged out of carbon steel. Forged construction offers supposedly a little bit better feel, a little softer feel. Uh, now that can be, you know, change a little bit of design and how things are done, but forgings are typically extremely soft, very responsive, and just offer a good feel around the greens. Uh, the 4609 SB is, of course, the pitching wedge replacement. Uh he’s playing at 36 in and a 60 62 degree lie angle with a project X 6.5 shaft in there. So a little bit softer uh than the irons. Maybe doesn’t hit as many full full shots with that thing. Uh but that is the pitching wedge replacement. And then moving to gap wedge uh for him. And his gap wedge is going to be the 509 SB. Uh and the SB is the standard bounce sole. So the standard sole, it’s got four-way camber, so a little bit of roundness to it. Uh you know, the bounce comes down kind of in the center of the wedge. There’s a little bit of trailing edge kind of uh, you know, shaping there, and there’s a little bit of relief in the heel, a little in the toe. Uh, it’s just kind of overall kind of softened and rounded to get through the turf really well while still offering some resistance to digging and good play out of the bunkers. Now, this one here, he plays at 35 and 3/4 in long with a 62° lie angle. And again, like the others, shafted up with a project X6.5. Now, we move into Sandwich. in a sandwich is again another mil grind 5, but it is this time the 5411 SB. Uh so again SB playing pretty much through all three of these wedges. Uh I I’ve noticed that a lot of players out on tour it seems when we do what’s in the bags are playing kind of more fuller soles. Uh they’re not playing as much as the super low bounce relief type wedges there. At least not through uh gap sand and maybe pitching wedge replacement. They’re all playing pretty traditional uh sold wedges. But the uh the SB as we just talked about very versatile. you can still open it up. Should have a lot of flow through the trap. Uh, you know, with that that kind of dynamic bounce as you open the face up. Uh, but the 5411, he playing this one at 35 1/2 in and 63° lie angle and again shafted up with a project 6.5. Then we move into his lob wedge, his final wedge in the bag, and it is a 608 LB. Uh, so the low bounce version, and this one is actually bent to 61, so it’s kind of playing like 6109 LB. Uh, but the LB sole is a little bit different. Uh it’s got much more trailing edge relief, especially in the heel and the toe. It allows you to open the face up without the leading edge coming off the ground too high. Uh just offers more versatility uh around the green. And then it does have a pre-worn leading edge on it as well. And this kind of helps that leading edge get down under the ball on really tight lies while also helping it not dig as much when it gets into the turf. So when you’re hitting kind of a little bit more of a fuller shot, that pre-worn leading edge will kind of hit into the turf and then cause the wedge to kind of flatten out and want to get out of that turf without digging too much. But a really versatile wedge allows you to play a bunch of different shots. Higher lofted, lower, you know, pressed forward to play it low. It’s just going to allow a player like Rory or even us to to hit a different variety of shots with this. Now, he’s playing this one at 35 uh and basically I think it’s like it’s 1 point or 35.125 in uh in length. Uh I don’t remember exactly what the fraction is on that. It’s not math class. Uh and he’s playing this one at a 63 and 1/2 degree line angle with a project x6.5 wedge shaft. So, this one’s a little different. Uh the Project X 6.5 is of course the standard iron shaft. Uh comes in about 120 g. The 6.5 wedge shaft is 125 g project shaft, but it plays a little bit softer. So it’s a little bit softer to flex. Offers a little bit more feel. And much like wedges, you’re not hitting as many full full shots with. With the lob wedge, you’re probably hitting even fewer. You’re hitting more kind of touch shots around the green. Uh more partial shots. And this wedge shaft is a little bit softer to add a little bit more feel uh to those shots around the green. Now, putter is the same putter he’s been playing for a while. It is a tailor-made Spyder Tour X. Uh, this is the X3 model, as you can see on the sole, and this is the slant neck. So, the slant neck on there is going to add a little bit more toe hang. So, when you set the putter like on a table or hold it in your fingers and just let it sit there, the toe will kind of point down a little bit more compared to the double bend version, which is face balanced. This is going to give a little different feel through the stroke. Uh it’s going to have that feeling of the the putter kind of swinging closed uh at a dress and it’s just going to have a little different feel almost more bladeike which is why you’re seeing so many kind of plers’s necks and and slant necks on these on these mallet putters. Uh they’re trying to get players who typically play a blade and move them into a mallet and have kind of a similar feel to it. So uh this is the X3 one. Uh it’s a torched finish which uh I believe this thing is made from kind of stainless steel and they actually torch it uh and to make it those colors kind of the brownish goldish purplish blues. All those colors come out when you heat the head up to certain temperatures and give it kind of a cool unique look. Now his doesn’t have a true path alignment on it which is usually that big white stripe that goes along the top. His just has the single sight line filled in but no true path alignment uh on there. Typically when you torch stuff you’re going to not have it painted. Uh, and then he just, I guess, didn’t have that true line painted in after that. So, kind of a a little bit more naked look to it from a dress, but I think looks very, very cool. Insert on this one is going to be the face insert is going to be the true roll uh insert on there, which is made from sirillin, which is kind of like a golf ball cover, so soft feel uh kind of a muted sound. You’re not going to hear a whole lot of click or anything like that off the face of that putter. It does have the true roll uh horizontal lines in the face. So, it’s going to offer immediate forward roll, less hopping, less skidding, anything like that. Now, this one he plays at 34 1/2 in long with 3° of loft uh and a 69 1/2 degree lie angle. Uh the grip on this one is a Superstroke Zenergy Pistol Tour, which is the smallest of the Zenergy pistols. So, the whole pistol line, uh which has a little bit more of a traditional shape, a little bit more arc, as you can see in the upper hand. Uh but the tour version is going to be the slimmest one that they offer uh at the moment in that uh that grip line. So that one’s just played in the white and black color. Uh nothing too fancy there. And then his grips are for the rest of his clubs are Golf Pride MCC’s. Uh these are the white and black. So we see these a lot of places, the white and black. Now his are a little bit different. They are the ribbed version. So inside on his on the very bottom under the kind of the pads of your hands, there’s a strip of rubber that’s molded right into the grip that gives kind of the reminder that feel uh like the Align series that they offer, but it’s internal and it is on the MCC. So this is a two only piece. Uh you and I can’t unfortunately get these. Uh but it does give uh kind of an idea of where the face angle is throughout the whole swing as well as reminder of where to hold the club in the pads of your hands for kind of that feel. So he plays these ones uh here with plus two wraps on them. So not too much bigger uh than what they are. I believe they’re standard uh I think they’re standard 500 580s uh with the rib. They might be 600s. I don’t remember exactly. Uh but they do have plus two wraps. And then ball is the Tailor Made TP5. So he’s playing the 2024 TP5. Uh this is a fivepiece ball from Tailor Made. And uh tour level, great spinner on the greens. Good feel, a little bit softer feeling uh than the TP5X and also has a little bit more spin. So that is uh Rory’s winning what’s in the bag from the 2025 Amjen Irish Open. Congratulations again to him. Uh hopefully he’s got his winning out of his system before the RDER Cup starts here in a little bit. But congratulate to him on a great win. Uh it was awesome and yeah, we’ll wait and see what the next winning what’s in the bag will be. Check back uh a little bit.
