Justin Rose WITB 2023 (What’s In The Bag?)

The SIM Max is the latest driver for TaylorMade and its innovative design and approach is one of the primary reasons why Justin Rose routinely brings the club with him to tournaments.

For weekend warriors, the TaylorMade SIM Max is certainly a driver that needs some skill to navigate and that is one of the large reasons why this is a club best suited for advanced golfers.

Restrictions aside, the SIM Max definitely builds off the foundation of the company’s M6 to create one of the most complete drivers we’ve ever seen and a suitable piece of equipment for a professional like Rose.

Every feature that the SIM Max driver boasts is here for the fairway edition including the Twist Face Technology that improves accuracy and keeps shot along the target line.

For the amateur, the SIM Max fairway wood has a low profile that helps the golfer get under the ball for maximum distance with outrageously good carry from either the tee box or fairway.

A feature worth noting on this Cobra fairway wood is the Dual Baffler Rails that have been designed to improve the turf interaction by reducing friction and helping the golfer from a tight lie or light rough. The rails provide stability and speed as the club moves effortlessly through the turf and really help intermediate and beginning golfers.

The Cobra King SPEEDZONE Fairway Wood is ideal for senior golfers who tend to have slower swings and need the muscle of good equipment to keep the distance, but shouldn’t be overlooked by advanced and intermediate golfers who need more speed from their game.

The P790 irons feature the company’s Speedfoam innovation to help golfers with club speed, feel, and response. The shallow face irons are minimal by design to assist in pushing the limits for distance and shot shape. 

The P790 irons stand out because of their stunning design and the exceptional construction. TaylorMade has devoted a great deal of effort in building an accessible set of players’ irons that work for the professional and skilled amateur and the P790’s are nothing short of an achievement.

The club is incredibly sturdy from grip to club head with outstanding response and feel on every shot.

The reason the MG2 should be on every amateur’s list for improving their short game is due to the precision milled groove system. The sharp grooves impart so much rotation on the golf ball, it actually takes a short window to learn how to control the distance on shots with the MG2 to account for the spin on the green.

TaylorMade has quietly built exceptional wedges for many years and the MG2 is the culmination of innovative design and listening to the input from pros like Justin Rose who know exactly what they want out of an elite wedge.

For amateurs looking to improve their game on the greens, there are few putters more equipped to handle the task than the Axis1 Rose, but that improvement comes at a large price point. Yes, the putter is very expensive, but in the putter’s defense, this is a flat stick that will stay in your bag for many years.

If you are a golfer that needs serious help on the greens, the Axis1 Rose Mallet Putter is an exceptional piece of equipment that will keep your putts on their target line with more consistency.

Although Rose is sponsored by TaylorMade for most of his equipment, the English golfer loves how the TP5 plays in the wind and how the feel and response of the ball works for his game. Off the tee, the TP5 is low spin to help the ball stay on the target line, a huge advantage that keeps Rose playing the golf ball.

For advanced golfers who aren’t completely sold on a top-tier ball like the Titleist ProV1, the TP5 provides solid game play with extra distance and speed after impact. Regardless of your handicap level, the TP5 has been engineered to play at a premier level for either the professional or the amateur.
