How Rory McIlroy's Shock Equipment Turnover Helps Him the Glory of Masters and Grand Slams
Rory McIlroy decided to twist the world of golf and in his golf bag for Arnold Palmer's invitational tournament will be in the Taylormade QI35 series.
Fast forward a month and McIlroy joined an elite group, thanks to a huge victory in the 2025 Masters.
However, there is no QI35 in the bag – instead, the great man passed down from generation to generation completed his most famous career victory with the Taylormade Qi10, which has been permanent since the end of 2023.
Is the turnaround after the Arnold Palmer Invitational a key point in his victory at Augusta National Golf Club?
How does his trusted Qi10 execute on the tee when he wins the green jacket after the device switch?
Why is there no recent Taylormade QI35 technology in McIlroy's package?
In short, McIlroy has been loyal to his QI10 products through the “If Not Break Not Resolved” mentality.
This is understandable, why should you replace the device when your current tool comes out the desired result?
“To be honest, this is probably the best driver I've had in the last few years. I'm really a driver and I think some of the techniques in my swing work a little better,” McIlroy explained.
Good drives are still very good, but bad drives are not that bad, so missing out is not that crazy. ”
It may have sparked a debate in Taylormade, who inevitably hopes that their brand image will be used and ultimately markets the latest products to a hungry audience.
But it's the movement, at some point, it's necessary to stick to his trusted model through McIlroy's personal decision, rather than trying to build relationships with the latest technology of the equipment manufacturer.
Hey, in millions of Masters around the world, Masters have won the bad looks of this brand – no matter the model.
How did McIlroy and his QI10 driver perform on the venue at Augusta National Golf Club?
McIlroy's dominance in the tee shows that the last round averaged 342 yards, 42 more than the average 300 in the field.
His understanding of the QI10 driver made him score on his tee, which helped his familiarity with the club and the combination of its power and forgiveness.
The second-place world finish comfortably knocked out Justin for nearly 50 yards in the playoffs, which gave him a more relaxed shot, thus helping him win the Masters.
Despite the weight and nerve effects of the incident, he averaged over 329 yards on Georgia T-shirts, from an average of 325 yards in the first four events, including his use of the QI35 driver and Woods’ Arnold Palmer Invitational.
How does his Master's performance in the QI10 line compare to his debut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which is a QI35 variety on T-shirts?
McIlroy entered the field after a bad round on Saturday after using the QI35 driver and Woods in the invitational tournament of Arnold Palmer.
“They didn't work out the way I wanted, and I lost my t-shirt, and it was the first time in a long time I did it.”
In the third round of the game, he found only six fairways, which was 14% lower than the accuracy of other courts on the electric ball. All in all, he failed two of his four rounds in Bay Mountain Club.
On the other hand, although the Qi10 line of the Masters is inevitably a balanced performance of the Qi10 series compared to the previous PGA Tour, the Qi10 line remains in balance with the QI10 line.
He scored 2.6 in Augusta's T-shirts, a statistic that will put him in the top 5% of the PGA Tour players.
This is combined with driving distance: McIlroy is only second, behind Monster Bryson DeChambeau, and the Northern Irish drives the ball with extreme accuracy.
His consistent T-shirt shot gave him an equally excellent goal chance, and he converted to him as he led with an astonishing 2.3 in the approaching game.
What's next for the Pro Big Slam and his golf bag?
It's hard to imagine his Taylormade QI10 driver and Woods will go anywhere soon.
Throughout the weekend, his QI10 won three of three of five games, playing in total 50% of the matches: Masters, Player Champion and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
With the start of a major season, his long-term pressure on his career Grand Slams came from his shoulders, and they knew how many more seasons McIlroy could win this season.
