Justin Rose What’s In The Bag?
Rose uses a full compliment of TaylorMade’s 2018 M metalwoods
Rose is a long-time TaylorMade staffer and currently has a full bag of the company’s products.
Having used both the M1 and M2 drivers last season, he’s put in TaylorMade’s new M3 driver for 2018 as well as an M4 3 wood and an M3 5 wood.
He has both weights placed as far forward as possible to keep the ball low and spinning less.
Lots of #Team

Rose is one of the game’s best ball strikers and has averaged 308 yards off the tee this season on the PGA Tour and currently ranks 17th in Strokes Gained: Off The Tee.
He currently uses a special set of ‘Rose Proto’ P730 irons.
A close up of Rose’s irons
Rose played a part in the design of the P730 irons, a muscle back model with more forgiveness on strikes slightly lower and higher on the face, while horizontal MOI remains the same to maintain workability.
He plays them from 5-PW and also carries a P790 3 iron.
