I Had A NIGHTMARE With Rory’s $2,000 Irons!? FOR SALE!?

Check out the Mileseey G1 for yourself – https://mileseeygolf.com/products/mileseey-genepro-g1-touchscreen-gps-rangefinder

Recently, I bought Rory Mroyy’s actual irons from the guys at Tailor Made. And today, we’re going to take on our new golf course, Ryder Cup venue in 1957, Lindrich Golf Club, using these clubs. These look absolutely gorgeous, but they are almost impossible to hit. Tailor-made Ross Protos Project X7.0. And as you can see, we’ve pretty much got Rory’s entire setup minus those. What can we score over nine holes? And we also have our Milesy Genie Pro G1 to help us today. Guys, get in the comments below. Can we break? We’re not going to break par. It is absolutely freezing today. So, just get in the comments below and wish us well. How’s your coffee, Bob? Empty. My jet stick this time. My jet stick. Very good. Right guys, so Lindrich Golf Club today. We will pop this in the Mousy Genie Pro G1 and we’ll have a look at the first hole. Now, myself and these Rory irons have a little bit of a Could you say a lovehate relationship, Bob? I love them and they’re not a huge fan of me. They’re insanely high lofted. They’re very, very traditional irons. Obviously, they’re a blade. Here we go. Look, Lindric Golf Club. And we’ll go yellow te. It’s winter, isn’t it? We’re down here on the on the fronts. That’s the only thing that’s in our favor today. The only thing the course is playing a little bit shorter. We’ve got Qi35 in the bag. We’ve got R seven mini driver in the bag. Look how good do they look. By the way, they look absolutely gorgeous. I’ve got Vokis in the bag as well, which touchy subject for Tail Made, but I think he’s using Vokei still, isn’t he? So, you can see here I can just plot how far up the hole I go. If I go 250 yards, that leaves me 153. I’m quite happy with that. Do I try and take it over the bunker? 276. Obviously, I mean, it’s not really 293 into that wind, is it? What I’m trying to say, Bob, is do we go mini driver or driver off this whole mini? Because it’s the first first one, right? This one. This is one of my favorite clubs of all time. Quite a few pros have had this in the bag as well, haven’t they? Fleetwood had it in the bag. I think I have seen videos of Rory testing it, but Rory’s driver is like the best club in his bag, isn’t it? So, he doesn’t really need to be messing about with with that too much. So, we know 250 leaves us one to be fair. 250 with this into this wind. Try and get that little low hookie one up the middle. It’s not hooky, but it’s low up the right. That’ll do. That will play. That was a stiff one and a cold one, but all at the same time. Sounds like a good beer, doesn’t it? Right. Literally, right, we are on the right hand side in the rough. Luckily enough, we’re not too far off line. So, with this obviously, it’s going to tell us 182. Bob, we’ve got left in. That shows how strong that wind is. And if we want to go straight to the flag, 185 playing 183. There’s nothing else we need to know here, is there? It’s just going to take pretty much all we’ve got. So, looking at these, you can see the five irons yet to be used. Um, I’m not going to lie, I think it might be like a chip. Do you think it could be a chippy four or a five? The wind’s more across. I don’t want to take the wrapper off the do. We can’t We can’t live like that, Bob. Can’t we? Bob’s now a caddy as well. So, funnily enough, when you get these, you get this as well. So, it’s a nice little kind of rose proto. That’s if you put it Do I put them in a plaque? That’s what I’m thinking here with me. But thank you for being part of this incredible moment as we celebrate Royy’s historic career grand slam. Like if you want to screenshot that and read it, you can. Basically limited protoons. Now you could have got them in my own specs, but to me that doesn’t really make much sense because like I’m never ever ever God, my hands are so cold. How can I play golf in gloves, Bob? This isn’t the day for this, is it? But oh, I’ve struck it really good. It’s just stayed out to the right. I’m not sure if by wiping the mud off, I put more mud on. Funny enough, when I have played with these in the past, I’ve actually struck the ball really well. I do feel like it concentrates the mind a little bit and makes you think about what you’re doing. That towel is freezing because I cleared the snow off the car with it this morning. Interesting. Very interesting. Right, we’re short and we are right, Bob. And funnily enough, on the mile seat, you can start to put in your stats and things like that. So, it’s an interesting, you know, whenever I need a glove, I don’t have one. And whenever I need a a poo bag for my dog, I don’t have one. But I always have them when I don’t need them. And the stats, I think, can really, really help. Sit. Oh, I’m really pleased with that. That felt delightful. You can really start to see why golfers like well the best in the world i.e. Rory and Fitzy see Fitzy the other day at Dubai un yeah literally unbelievable. You can see why they use the vocals. They are fantastic. Although I feel like Taylor made a catching vokey up to you because they’re making forged wedges that feel fantastic and still perform incredibly well. And anyone who can do that they’re always going to be there or thereabouts, aren’t they? Are we there yet? So, the only real club I’ve got in here that isn’t Rory’s is me putter. Just to be honest, this HS we’ve gone through a sticky patch, but you’d have to prize this out of my cold alive hands. Got my son’s name on it. Look, little things in it. So, we could do with this performing well for us today really just to to help said we needed a hot one. Bob said we needed a hot one. That’ll do nicely. So, as you can see, moving on to the next hole. It’s asking us what we got. So, it was a four. It was one put. It was a fairway miss to the right. Complete. So, you can go on the app and you can actually download it all and and like work on your stats and stuff, which I think’s really really good. Then I love that it just moves you straight on to the next hole. So 315. Click on this little button here. I can start to plot it again. So I only need to hit it really. If we hit 240, that leaves us less than 100. And that like how far is it to the hazard? The hazard’s 195. So you can really start to like kind of plot for me. It t it takes away any real pressure. Like if you’re plotting what you’re doing, the guess work’s done, Bob, isn’t it? It’s not a four iron, is it? It’s not a four iron. There we go. And that is the order of the day. The low scuttler down the middle. Are you cold, Bob? Just going to take a P. We’ve been doing this quite a bit to show people like breaking the fourth wall. I’m just going to take a picture of Bob for you. It is that cold. How you getting on? I brought these other gloves. These are like terrible, right? It’s a fairway hit. And you see, I’m already thinking like, right, that’s a tick in the box when it comes to the stats. 130 143 back. Obviously, we can use 125 playing 126 into the wind. It would be a lovely Christmas present somewhere. like a Black Friday deal or something. But what do you reckon? Like a chippy eight. It’s literally like a two club wind, isn’t it? H. Right. We know Rory’s clubs are upright, so it should want to move in a little bit and off the lie as well. Be good. Be good. Get up. Get up. Get up. Travel. Bob. That’s in the bunker. Oh no. Video title. I had a disaster with Rory’s clubs. That’s two miss greens, Bob in a row. Dear, you know that bunker as well. If you blade it out of it, you straight on A57. You know, the worrying thing is, Bob, that wasn’t even close, was it? Distance-wise, right? 60°. Don’t think Rory has a K grind in his bag, but [Music] be good. Go in. Go on. Come on. Oh, you know what? Those clubs cost like £1,300 and look at them now. These bunkers are delightful, by the way. Are they damaged? To the point where I wouldn’t even use them on a boogie cuz the bag clatter had ruined them. Yeah. Oh, look. No. No. That’s a disaster. Literally, it’s disaster after disaster. At least I’m good at bunkers. Yeah. Please, Robert. Thank you. It’s two pars in a row, which could have not been two pars in a row, couldn’t it? Could have been a lot worse than that. Let me get the flag, Rob. Thank you very much, Squire. You know, it would have been like a really really good idea watching the video back of how far these clubs go before this. Portugal would have been a But I think here I think at the home of Well, it’s our new course, isn’t it? Right. Swipe up. Hole two strokes four puts one. And it was a fairway complete. Back to the hole. 166. 153 front. So, we definitely need to go at least 160. Flag 161. It is a five iron, isn’t it? It is the five iron. We’ve gone from not using it and having to take the wrapper off to using it twice in the first three holes. Shows you that like golf courses in the UK at winter, we do shorten them, but they still play along, don’t they? Cuz the ball’s not bloody going anywhere, Robert. Is it? What’s the wind doing? Is it that way? Hold that line. Hold that line. Hold that line. Is that missed it left again? You know what? I struck that. Really? I really enjoyed that. Look at that for ball turf combo. I’m not even bothered if that’s missed a green. I mean, it’s three me three missed greens in a row. So, it’s not an ideal start to what I hoped would be a really, really good scoring video, but as a day like today goes, it’s just nice to be out, isn’t it? Lots of people can sit there and moan at home and say, “We can’t play cuz it’s cold.” Not me, Bob. I love this. Right. So, honest thoughts about these. When it’s a lovely day and it’s like 15, 20°, not a problem. Can hit them feel like it kind of channels you’re in a I say no, it doesn’t. No, I’m not saying Rory because that’s sad. But it does channel like a better ball striking mentality. A day like today that’s freezing 30 mph winds and we wipe snow off the car this morning. Just like a set set of pings, G440s or something P790s. Way more enjoyable. Same shot. It literally is like the same shot, isn’t it? He can’t do it again, can he, Bob? It’s just on a bit of a down slope, which doesn’t help. It’s not bad. I don’t know why I’ve aimed so far left there. I felt like it might cber back, but the strike was good and the distance was good. Keep making these par puts. It’s definitely not ours, but I’ll get it. Good. Good deal. That mean I’m going to hold this putt. I don’t think this moves at all. These are the putts. Roaring laps up, aren’t they? Left edge. Uh, my I thought my left firm at it. I could be wrong. No, we’ll go with it, Bob. Trust you. It’s three fours to open up with. And when you miss the first three greens, what more do you expect? Right. Not ideal. Score can go in. I do like having this score cuz it Oh, we don’t want to end the game. Swipe up. Two, three, four. Puts two complete. Right. Par five. If I jump on here, what is it to carry the bunkers? 272 to carry all the trouble. Now, it’s a win to hold this, so it does play a little bit shorter. So, I’m just going to hit driver. As long as I don’t go left, we’re okay. Qi35 driver core model. Rory didn’t have this in the bag for long. Reason Bob stood there is we’re straight into the sun and no one’s going to see a thing. [Music] Oh, that is absolutely munch. By the way, I’m really annoyed. I’m really annoyed you weren’t behind for that shot tracer cuz that’s outrageous. As it goes to as it goes as it goes to go. This is the head that you want in the Qi35. I tried the LS and it was like you can see my T- mark there. Look straight down it. Like the LS is good. It’s very hard to hit. But I think having the movable weights in here in the core model like I’ve got the 13 g weight at the front there. So that works with that through slot speed pocket and the lightweight at the back means that the MOI is pushed forward or the CG’s push forward. So the MOIS What does that do to the driver head, Rob? If the CG’s forward reduce MOI love it. Oh no. Three holes in and he’s out of coffee. So he needs a piss. I have no feeling in my hand. I can’t find it. Stunning like a young Bert Reynolds. You better hope to God you’re editing this and not me. Personal highlight that. I’ve never carried that. I mean, I know it’s like a 30 m hour wind behind us, but was a decent one, that one. So, this is where this can come in really handy. Obviously, this is telling us the distance to the actual green. Like I said, it’s a winter hole because the green’s down in a quarry. So, all I can do now is obviously use this bad boy. So, we’ve got 130 yards in, Rob. Wow. Playing 123. It’s par five gap wedge or a little sorn off Rory pitching wedge. Wind’s still off the right. Club a little bit upright for me. Be on it. Be on it. Be on it. Oh, it’s just took a kick left and it I feel like there’s three like factors equating to today’s golf. There’s the weather, there’s the clubs, and there’s the fact I’m just a little bit. So, like there’s all that going off cuz I feel like I’m not delivering the club correctly for the lie angle. So, we’ve got spin ax is tilted a little bit. I’ll get that divot as well. Obviously, it’s windy and cold and we just need to book our ideas up. Bob got a beaver tail, though. Little low one into the bank. Spin and stop. I mean, it’s not how I planned it. And it’s left again. We’ve got the lefts today, but it’s a chance call it half a birdie, would you? That’s back to level. That’s thought we called bounce back ability. That I don’t remember that from soccer AM. Comment below if you remember soccer AM. So that if we tell on here, swipe up. One, two, three, four. One put fairway complete. All the fours so far. I’ll put that back in. Par four. Three. Four. You feel like it plays a lot longer than this, don’t you? It’s driving it. I think today everything’s driver really. What’s this winding? You can’t feel the wind here. Got to be off the right. That’s And swore then, Bob. That were that good. [Music] That’s perfect. Can’t get an head cover though. Thank you. Right, that so far that’s two fantastic drives with the Tailor Made Qi35. We’ve all seen what’s coming. Well, allegedly what’s coming from Tailor Made. And I I’m very very excited cuz I I wasn’t a big fan of Qi35. like the the branding behind it, the color, not really for me, but the new one looks from what I’ve seen on the conforming list. Not allowed to talk about it, I don’t think, but right 136 150 back. You’re all right, Bob. Slip slip of the hand. 135. Look at that flag going again. It’s 135, but it’s like a chippy eight eye, isn’t it? Right, we are not going to miss this one left. We’re going to aim at that silver birch. Let the wind bring it in. Flight it down. I’ve missed it. Right, Bob. It stayed exactly where I ate it. Look where I hit. This is how demanding these clubs are. It’s not the day from, is it? But we’re battling, Bob. Come on. I’ve tried to hit that 140 yards. I don’t think it’s gone 100. Funny message received from our friend Gary. Where is it? Oh, just eat notification. What day is it? Wednesday. Mate, I’ve just parked the car. I can’t play golf in this. It’s freezing. He wants to get a real job that lad, don’t he? Tell you what. Oh, you know mentioned about dog bags. What good are they in there, Bob? I’ve never brought my dog to golf cuz both of them are awful. They are awful. Right. Pitching wedge. Can I I can clean it, can’t I? We need to save Par. We cannot we cannot give it away again. What are we doing? What is What have I left myself? [Music] I really enjoyed that. Really, really enjoyed it. You see how close together the grooves are on this? Like loads of grooves. But down it’s like groove city. Groove Armada. Groovy baby. Never go full lost in powers. Never go full lost in powers. Everyone’s bailing on us, Bob, aren’t they? We’re having a fantastic day. It’s all about mindset. This is a lot longer than what I thought it was going to be. Come on. Don’t give this away here. Left edge firm at it. [Music] They all count, Bob. They all count. My fingers hurt. Oh yeah. Well, now your back’s going to hurt cuz you just got two weeks on landscaping duty, grandma. Guess what, Bob? It’s another four. One put. It was a missed fairway, right? Wasn’t it all? We’ve had 20 shots so far. And here, one of my favorite holes on the golf course. You can see you’re on a bit of a windity out to the right. Playing 127 138 back. That flag’s tight, right? And it’s 120. 127. It’s exactly where it said it was. Uh, I mean, it’d be a pitching wedge, would it? Do I stick a hard wedge? The wind’s off the right. Not into I feel like I’ve not committed to a shot all day. I’ve like kind of footed around a little bit, haven’t I? Can I say that? No. I think you can say it. Can you? You know, I’ve got a pocket full of tees. I’m looking for a broken tea. Right. I’m going to aim at the right hand bunker, Bob. Oh, be the club. be the club. It’s still moving left a bit and that’s on the green nicely. So, first shot we’ve committed to and the first shot I’m actually really really happy with. You look at the turf interaction again. That was actually quite good. Try and keep these nice if I can. First time I’ve paid money for for a long time. But look at them. They’re actually shaped on the P730s. Do you remember them? I don’t. So, pre P7 MB. I think that’s correct. allegedly. Well, it’s a green in red, Bob. But that’s pretty much all I can say about it. I think it was a nine iron. It’s funny cuz you look at the number or in this case the letter on the bottom of the clubs and you think, “Oh, 130 wedge.” But these aren’t like normal normal lofts, are they? It was bang on the flag as you can see, but it’s just come back a bit. So, it’s a greening rag finally, but not really a chance. be right to left. [Music] Go on then. Go on then. Go on then. Go on then. He’s got the line. I thought that was it. Ah, three. It breaks the spell of fours. Right. I’m absolutely buzzing with that. I’d be more buzzing if it went in, but two puts. It’s a greening rag. It’s really helping those stats. Now then, look here, Bob. 425 into the wind. If we want to plot it, let’s be realistic. It’s going to go what? 240 max. Leaves with 180 in. So, it’s just out towards them silver birches, isn’t it? This is where like you have to be realistic. I’m all right putting 280 in there because I once hit a ball 280 yards like a few weeks ago. But in the conditions today, it’s not going to be not going to be the case, is it? You’d be happy if you hit that when you want to get one of Gaza that fresh tea. Oh, that’s right. I’ve s that is going to go nowhere. It’s the first real bad one we’ve hit with driver. I saw a big draw in my head and we got a big horrible blocky fade. It’s not the worst place. I mean, it’s not what we wanted, Bob. I’ll not lie to you. How far have we got in here? You know, I said at the silver birches. I didn’t like physically mean at the silver birches. I meant I might have I might have done Yeah, I might have brought this down. 200 yards in 200. It’s into the wind. Is it a mini driver or a four I mean four iron? I think I smashed the absolute nuts off a four iron in that studio and got 205. So four iron’s begging to be 50 yards short in it. Just waited for the green keepers. We’ve stiffened up a bit though, aren’t we? That’ll be good. That’s exactly what I wanted it to do. I reckon that’s perfect. I mean, I’m not sure it’s exactly how this club was designed to be hit, but a little duffy one down there at 200 and odd should be perfect. I think that’s like the best shot of the day. And I’m I’m really annoyed it’s not come with Rory’s irons. It’s come with the mini driver. But hopefully that rescues us a four birdie the next battle for a par on nine. And I think like I we have just literally battled, haven’t we? It’s been but you know we’ve not done gone in the car park and turned around and gone home. That’s character that Bob I think. Show them what you’re about. They don’t want it Bob. They don’t want it. Nestler up. Bit of right to left uphill. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. It could have been something special today, couldn’t it? Even in these conditions. That’s a fall. Right. Oh, T. We’ve actually We’ve vacated the eighth for now cuz the green keepers are working hard on it. I’ve got no no problems with it. I like seeing green keepers work hard cuz the course is in that good a condition. We’ll give him a minute. We’re on the 11th. So, we’ll have that as one of the holes. So, all I do here is just swipe over. Look. Swipe over. On the 11th, 147 163. But I mean, that wind is now like awful. I think it might be a chippy five. It’s playing 148. This is tough today, isn’t it? 148. I bet it’s a 20 20 yard wind. Six. No, I’m going to hit six. Why have I not put that? You that tea I’ve just found. Yeah. Six. [Music] Come on, James. Keep it low. It might be a five. This is playing ridiculously hard. I’ve turned it. That’s a disaster. I mean, the distance is good, but I’m going to get another one just for fun. Bob, we have another ball in our pocket cuz we’ve gone and done some driver testing, haven’t we? While uh while the guys were busy on that green. See, that’s lie angle though. That is just like you never try and play a draw into that wind. Done it again. It’s a good strike, but that’s all I’ll say about them really. Another miss green left. Rory, I mean it’s flag high, isn’t it? But that’s about all we can say about it. 56. Is that just going to like release away from me as soon as I it lands play that better? You can’t. I struck that. So nice. Come on. Roll that in. And then you have a chance at the last, haven’t you? Which is over there. That guy’s chipping like Bill Nicholson. Some of the par put Bob a like what? This has been like the irons have been a disaster, haven’t they? Today I felt like the first time I took him out, I played really well with him and it’s just getting worse and worse and worse. 10°. It was 10° probably 15° warmer. Get in. Get in. There’s definitely been a resilience today, which is nice. Would have been nice if Gaz was here to play, wouldn’t it, Gary? Too cold. Right. So, things are getting complex because now I need to put a score in for the 11th, which was a three and a one put. And then we’ll scroll back to the eighth. We actually had some nice drives down nine, didn’t we, Bob? I’ve literally We’ve left the bag there. It’s mini driver and we’re going to commit to it. We’re going to hit it on the green. If we eagle it with two under, which today is insane. If we double boge it with two over. Does the wind switch round? This feels into, doesn’t it? I can’t see a flag to help us. Can you see that flag there? What’s that doing? It’s into, isn’t it? It’s as good as I’ve got, but it’s not really launched high enough. I reckon that’s in the front bunker. And that’s what you get for leaving your bag all the way down there in a a sudden 90 degree change of wind, Bob. No, 180 change of wind. Where is it? It was online with the flag, but there’s no way it’s carried that bunker. It’s too flat a flight. But this is what it comes down to. And you know what? We could have stayed at home. It’s in the bunker there. Look, we could have stayed at home today. But I’ve loved this. Have you had a good day, Bob? The Rory’s irons always throw up bit of a a curve ball. Do I go 60 or 56 here? That is sat up like a coconut in it. The course is in incredible condition. I’m going to move that little stone. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Spin. It’s not terrible. It was set up a little bit too much. And the last thing I wanted to do was, you know, I just leave it where it was. It’s not really a chance, is it? But it’s a greening rag. It’s not what we wanted for birdie, is it? Funny thing is, you know, if we hit either a better flighted mini driver or an actual driver, we probably carry that bunker and we’ve got this for the second shot. Really good hole that really good thought out design. You’ve left it short. You’ve left it short to break par in one of the hardest days out here. But that is a really well battled level par on what’s ended up being a bit of a different loop of nine holes, but essentially a front nine here at Lindric using Rory’s clubs. Guys, if you enjoyed that, smash that subscribe button below. I look forward to seeing you all at the same time tomorrow where hopefully it’s a lot warmer.

  1. James, those Rory clubs have a shaft that is just a bit too stiff for you. I saw it in Bob’s excellent camera work. You are hitting them very solidly and I think if you put a lighter and less stiff shaft, you’ll hit them more accurately. Cheers!

  2. I got so depressed watching this video, realizing that it’s just going to get colder, wetter, and nastier, for the next 3-4 months. I despise winter.

  3. That was fun to watch. The rors irons look fun to play but not while it’s freezing cold. James could be the best bunker player on YouTube.

  4. Good stuff James, I had the P730 irons, 3-PW with C-Taper 130 x shafts, I loved them, changed them for 2023 MB irons, I would’ve loved another set but there wasn’t any available in the right condition at the time! 👍🏻

  5. Great content again from yourself and Bobby….As a now "mid handicap golfer" the only things we have in common as far as golf goes can be summed up by 2 comments in the post…."ooh a tee" and "I've got a pocket full of tees and I'm looking for a broken one"….Some advice for your mates….tell Chris not to be so "excitable" and get Gaz some counselling for his "SAD"….Keep it up gentlemen….Steve

  6. Well played James. I told Gaz off for not turning up! Even I played that day, and I'm nearly 74. He needs a winter golf clothing company to sponsor him!

  7. Two comments. Why not use Arccos Tags & their new rangefinder that connects with the tags? Looking at their App would give you everything that you’re doing without all the time adding/manipulating strokes etc. Second, while using Rory’s clubs, the reality is that the difference between your CHS and his, it’s difficult to compare while at the same time, using his clubs (especially the irons) with any confidence or fun. It’s like playing from the “tips” as a 10-handicap.

  8. I must say i don't really enjoy winter golf. Temp tees and greens mud everywhere and freezing my tits off. Saying that last week, played to par and the course was in pretty good order. Still the temp tees and 3 temp greens but the 8° weather with a little sun wasn't too bad. Prob try and get out on similar or better days. Anything worse than that and im not interested. Had to use strike mats too, i have Spurk golf one and it did make a difference.

  9. I started the season as a 26 handicapper with a goal of getting down to 18. My MyEngland score is 18.1. Did i fail or achieve my goal. 😂
