Here we take a look at the Honma and TaylorMade equipment Justin Rose currently uses
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.
Justin Rose shocked many he signed a 10-club partnership with Honma Golf to play its forged irons and wedges at the start of the year.
Interestingly he has also put a driver made by the Japanese brand in the bag too. Having used the TaylorMade M3 440 driver in 2018, Rose has switched to Honma’s TWorld 747 460 driver as you can see from the picture below.
Additionally he has also been using an M6 3 wood as well as a Honma utility iron instead of his usual TaylorMade M3 5-wood.
He has been made a prototype set of irons called Honma TW-MB Rose Prototypes. They go from four-iron to pitching wedge.

Moving into the wedges, he uses Honma TWorld Rose Proto’s and a Titleist Vokey SM7 lob wedge. Contrary to what the picture below suggests, his lofts are 52°, 56° and 60°.
Rose is also a Lamkin ambassador and he has recently had R.E.L ACE golf grips put on his irons and wedges.
Justin Rose’s Putter
Finally Rose had been using the TaylorMade TP Red Collection Ardmore 2 putter in 2018 but he has instead has gone back to the Axis1 putter which he uses to great effect.
The flat stick is a crucial part of his armoury and one of the main reasons why he left TaylorMade to join Honma, because he didn’t want to be tied down to a full-bag 14-club deal.
It features a unique face-balanced design to ensure it doesn’t open or close during the putting stroke.
“It’s the technology I’ve been interested in for a couple of years now,” Rose said at Torrey Pines.
“But I haven’t been able to use it until this year. It’s been in the back of my mind for a while, and so far, so good.”
It is fitted with a Lamkin Flat Cat grip.
His current ball is the TaylorMade TP5.
