He must really love that gold/champagne color finish on his Scottie's, I certainly think its incredible looking also.

[MakersMarsh3]

Scotty’s Chromatic bronze is just the best

 

and the new TM wedges are looking really good

[speeder757]

Does anyone know the tipping on Rory’s driver shaft? From the photos it looks to be tipped minimally which is surprising. 

[QuigleyDU]

Well well well.. Look who is going Futura... 

[J_Tizzle]

Is that RM grind on the 60* something new?

 

Not sure I've ever seen that before, looks like the K grind.

Looks like 1/2", definitely less than he normally does.

Looks like he put in that PX 6.5 Wedge shaft recently.

I think he's been using it since his short experiment with the Vokeys, at least in the 60. 
 

I didn't realize how much bigger the 760 head was than his blades.

Would love to see TM put the PX wedge shaft in the new MG4's as stock shafts....

Looks very similar to the JT low bounce K grind.

Almost looks less than that.

Chromatic bronze is a great looking finish. I wonder how easy it would be to do on a 5.5.

No experience doing it, but I believe someone in another thread said it just takes heat.  Tempted to try it.

I hadn't noticed that he'd gone down to a SS Pistol Tour from a Pistol 1.0 too. Must've liked the feeling of a smaller grip when he was using that 009 for a hot second

I think similar to the low bounce k or the m

Yeah I really like the look of it, hopefully its available when they launch the 4's.  I wouldn't hate going all TM wedges personally at all.

 

And I play the M in my 58/62 and the sole looks much wider on the RM grind (at least to my eyes).  The bounce might play similar, but the sole width is wider for sure.

Yeah I think it’s the low bounce k with is a limited wedge works.

Probably the nicest looking 5.5 I have seen, love the finish with black shaft.

I hand torched my putter this color. Love it.

How long does it take, if you remember?

I don't know but he should bench it.  He only hit about 6 fairways today. It was an improvement though.

Does it really turn bronze just from blasting it with a torch?

Does it not damage the putter?

Yes it does. You have to hear it to the right temp and it changes color permanently.

 

nope, no damage.

Looks like he needs to go talk to Lucas Glover about a putter. Was total trash today. Has been for a few weeks. If he could make 5 footers he would be at 20 under..

He definitely has something going on but I don't see him in a broomstick. I think he would try a. Rickie putter before that. But I bet the next putter we see Rory with is the Scheffler spider proto.

It is sad how bad he is at putting.. so good tee to green and giving so many shots away putting.
