Since becoming part of Team TaylorMade in 2017 Rory McIlroy has played a single set of irons, RORS · PROTO. In that span, he’s used his RORS · PROTO irons to capture 18 PGA Tour wins, including two Tour Championships, two Players Championships, two Ryder Cup victories, and a win at Augusta to complete the career grand slam just a few weeks ago.
RORS · PROTO Tech
RORS · PROTO irons take on a small, sleek profile that offers unmatched feel and workability. Made of 1025 carbon steel, they undergo a multi-step forging process to ensure precise shaping for further enhanced feel and responsiveness.
A horizontally milled channel in the cavity separates mass on the vertical axis for precise inertia and trajectory control.
Inspired by P·730 irons, the RORS · PROTO 7 and 8-irons have a thinner top line, which is Rory’s visual preference. Instead of the MX9 grooves found in P·730, RORS · PROTO irons have TW2 grooves which are used in P·7TW irons. Rory feels these grooves provide him better spin out of the rough.
‘RORS · PROTO’ is engraved in the back badge, and ‘FORGED’ is machined into the hosel. Four different colored dots appear below the ‘FORGED’ script chronologically celebrating each of Rory’s major wins.
