Rory McIlroy has been tinkering along with his motive force for a few months now. He attempted specific shafts in his TaylorMade M3 460 driving force back in November, as specific in this golf.Com article. But now he is changed to a wholly new driving force... And seemingly it's running.
This article at nationalclubgolfer.Com from in advance this month talks about some of the adjustments made by way of numerous players, and Rory's new TaylorMade M5 driver (with a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White shaft, if you're interested) receives sizeable coverage. And on Saturday Rex Hoggard published some information about how Rory's the use of it on the Sentry this week.
Rory reputedly refers to it as his "low driver" and has adjusted the sliding weights to assist him put off a proper omit that plagued him maximum of 2018. The new setup permits him to hit a low fade that he feels confident he can placed in the fairway when vital. After three rounds, Rex reports:
McIlroy said the low fade off the tee still travels more than 300 yards, and he’s put on an impressive show this week in Maui where he’s No. 1 in the field in strokes gained: off-the-tee and fifth in driving distance.
“One of my goals for the year is driving accuracy. I want my driving accuracy to get up into the 60 percent number. It hasn't been there in a couple years,” said McIlroy, who has hit 30 of 45 fairways this week.If Rory can just get that putter of his working -- and pgatour.com says he has also added "a new TaylorMade Spider copper-colored prototype putter" to his bag -- then we could be seeing a resurgence of the "old" Rory this year.
He's really on the proper path. He's only three photographs returned of chief Gary Woodland and, as we've all seen in years beyond, whatever can show up within the final round at windy Kapalua.
