Justin Rose What’s In The Bag?

Justin Rose What's In The Bag?

What clubs does the Englishman put into the bag each week out on Tour? We take a look below. His club situation has changed a lot over the last couple of years. The Englishman signed a 10-club deal with Honma at the beginning of 2019 whilst World No.1, but the two parties stopped working together. Ever since Rose has been chopping and changing his club setup so let's get into specifics below.

Driver

TaylorMade M3

At the top of his bag his driver has changed several times over the last couple of years. Just some of the models he has put in are the TaylorMade SIM2 driver, Titleist TSi3, Ping G425 Max as well as a TaylorMade M2 which is a model from 2017. He also put in the Titleist TSi4 for a while and it looks like his driver situation is still changing even now. He was spotted at the start of 2023 using the M2 driver again along with a Callaway Paradym and a TaylorMade Stealth 2 model. However right now it appears he has put the TaylorMade M3 model in the bag and it has 8.5 degrees of loft with a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro Orange 70 TX shaft.

Fairways

TaylorMade M6

Both of his fairway woods have changed too. He had been using a TaylorMade Stealth three-wood and a Cobra Radspeed Tour five-wood as well but both of these models have come out. Rose actually carries two TaylorMade M6 woods with 15 and 18 degrees of loft respectively, and both have Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 80 TX shafts.

Irons

Cobra King CB, Cobra King MB

Like most other parts of his bag, Rose has changed his irons a lot over the past couple of years or so. He has had blade models from TaylorMade, Mizuno and Honma over the years and looked to be settled into a set of Titleist 620 MB's of late too. But these have since come out for a combo set of Cobra irons, which are Cobra King CB's from four to six-iron, and then Cobra King MB's from seven-iron down to pitching wedge. They are all fitted with Project X 125 6.5 shafts.

Wedges

TaylorMade MG4

Moving into the wedges, he was using three TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 models but these have been replaced by TaylorMade MG4's. They have 52, 56 and 60 degrees of loft but he also often carries a Titleist Vokey SM9 as his 52 degree model. This looks to change every so often but the shaft doesn't as all of them have KBS Tour Hi-Rev 2.0 135X shafts.

Putter

Axis1 Rose Proto

Finally Rose has had an Axis1 putter in the bag for a while now, which he uses to great effect. In our review, we thought whilst it does require a bit of practice to get used to the look and feel that’s created by the heel counterweight, once you do, it’s incredibly easy to keep the putter square throughout the stroke and at impact. The fanged shape extending back from the face is very popular these days and the central white line on the leading edge and two outer lines on the fangs frame the ball well at address.

Ball

Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot

Having used the TaylorMade TP5 for many years, Rose has recently switched into the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot which is according to Titleist; "designed for players seeking a more penetrating trajectory with lower long-game spin than Pro V1 but with comparable greenside control and soft feel."

We think he has the number 99 stamped on them. The reason? Well Rose said in a video from 2018; “Kate’s [his wife] lucky number is nine and when I got married, I figured double the luck, 99.” He also used to have the number in gold to celebrate his gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio but we are yet to confirm if this is still the case.
