Robert MacIntyre What's In The Bag?

His victory came at the Cyprus Showdown at Aphrodite Hills thanks to four birdies over the final six holes. He would win his 2nd title at the 2022 DS Automobiles Italian Open. Let's take a look inside the youngster's bag.

Driver
Titleist TSi3
At the top of the bag there appears to have recently been a change. He was using TaylorMade models after signing with the brand, the Stealth Plus was his go to for a while there. But he turned up at the start of 2023 with a Titleist TSi3 driver in the bag which was an interesting development. The TSi3 driver features a more compact, pear-shaped profile and a new SureFit CG Track positioned around the rear skirt, allowing players to alter their shot shape and launch characteristics. Comparing it to the TS3, we prefer the more rounded toe and the quieter thud it produces - which is closer to what you might experience with carbon fibre drivers. This driver is definitely for the slightly better ball strikers, but there is still a decent amount of forgiveness on offer. His model is fitted with a Graphite Design shaft but we are yet to confirm the exact model.

Fairways
TaylorMade Stealth Plus
He does still have the TaylorMade Stealth range in the fairway wood section of the bag. MacIntyre uses two Stealth Plus models with 15 and 19 degrees of loft and btoh have Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw White 85 TX shafts. Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods both put this model into play when they were released, which is no surprise given it is designed for Tour players and proficient ball-strikers. The overall footprint of the club is quite small, especially when compared with the regular Stealth model. There is no red face here unlike the driver but we thought the re-engineered 80g soleplate was a nice touch and improved turf interaction. MacIntyre has also occasionally put a TaylorMade Stealth 2 Rescue in the bag as well which sometimes replaces the five-wood. His usual model has 19 degrees of loft and a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 105 X shaft.

Irons
TaylorMade P7MC 2023
Shifting to the irons, the Scot then uses a set of the latest version of the TaylorMade P7MCs. They go from four-iron down to nine-iron. These have proven immensely popular out on Tour because not only do that have a classic shape and minimal offset, but there is also more forgiveness on offer compared to the P7MB and P7TW models. Compared to the previous generation, the head size looks a fraction smaller, as is the muscle cavity section behind the hitting area, while the raised lines no longer extend all the way across the back. All of his irons have True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts.

Wedges
Titleist Vokey SM9, Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks
He then has two Titleist Vokey Design SM9 wedges with 50 and 60 degrees of loft and then he has a Vokey WedgeWorks Prototype with 60 degrees of loft. The 50 degree model has a True Temper Dynamic Gold Onyx X100 shaft whilst the other two have Dynamic Gold Onyx S400 shafts.

Putter
Scotty Cameron T5.5 Proto
Finally after having used the TaylorMade Spider X for a long time, and gaming the TP Bandon 3 for a brief period, he then switched into an Odyssey Versa 7 putter. However he has now put a Scotty Cameron T5.5 Proto in the bag which is similar in shape to the other he has used. It has a fag design and a black finish.
Ball
TaylorMade TP5x
MacIntyre uses a TaylorMade TP5x golf ball and has the Scottish flag stamped on it as you can see above. From our research, the TP5x model gets used more than the TP5 out on Tour because it does a good job of blending tour performance and feel in a low spinning golf ball.

Apparel/Shoes
Nike
MacIntyre wears Nike apparel and Air Zoom Victory Tour 3 golf shoes. The Scot signed with Nike at the tail-end of 2021 and speaking at the time MacIntyre said; “Clothing is a big part of a professional golfer’s make-up, and it’s so important to have confidence in the quality of what you’re wearing each week. The depth of the Nike Golf range covers everything that I need, and it’s reassuring to know that they will be there to support me wherever I am playing in the world.”
