Robert MacIntyre’s Equipment Choices: A Deep Dive into His Bag
Scottish golfer Robert MacIntyre has undergone a significant transformation in his club selection since turning professional. Initially, he carried a mixed bag, but as a Titleist brand ambassador, he now primarily uses equipment from the renowned manufacturer. While the exact financial terms of his deal with Titleist remain undisclosed, his setup suggests that he has committed to an 11-club agreement with the company.
Driver and Performance Off the Tee
At the top of his bag, MacIntyre wields a Titleist TSR2 driver with a 9° loft paired with an AD DI 7X shaft. While he is not among the longest hitters on the PGA Tour, averaging 298.4 yards per drive, he remains one of the most accurate and efficient with his driver.
Currently, the two-time PGA Tour winner ranks:
9th in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (+0.588)
44th in Total Driving
32nd in Driving Accuracy (hitting 63.85% of fairways)
The Titleist TSR2 driver is available for purchase, typically priced between $448 and $649 in golf retail stores.
Fairway Woods and Hybrid Setup
While he has mostly aligned with Titleist, MacIntyre still mixes in TaylorMade equipment. At the Singapore Classic, he opted for a TaylorMade AeroBurner fairway wood (15°) instead of the Titleist GT3 he had previously used. His AeroBurner is fitted with a Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw White 85 TX shaft.
Additionally, he carries a TaylorMade Stealth 2 Rescue hybrid (19°), which features a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 105X shaft.
Iron Selection and Ball-Striking Abilities
MacIntyre’s bag includes Titleist 620 CB irons (4-9), fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. His iron play is a major strength, reflected in his impressive PGA Tour rankings:
18th in Strokes Gained: Approach to Green
18th in Greens in Regulation
5th in Approach Shots from 150-175 yards
The Titleist 620 CB irons are highly regarded for their precision and control, with a retail price of approximately $150 per club.
Short Game and Wedge Selection
For his wedge setup, MacIntyre relies on Titleist Vokey Design wedges, which are widely recognized for their superior craftsmanship and versatility. His wedge selection includes:
Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (46° – 10F)
Titleist Vokey Design SM9 (50° – 08F, 56° – 10S, 60° – 08K)
WedgeWorks (60-K)
These wedges are fitted with Dynamic Gold X100 Onyx (46° & 50°) and Dynamic Gold S400 Onyx (56° & 60°) shafts, ensuring consistency and control in his short game.
Putter and Golf Ball Choice
MacIntyre made an equipment adjustment earlier this year, switching to an Odyssey Ai-One #7S putter with a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 1.0 grip. Previously, he had used a TaylorMade Spider Tour putter with a similar grip. His choice to move away from Titleist in this category indicates a preference for Odyssey’s alignment and feel.
Additionally, like many top golfers, MacIntyre plays with the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball, known for its exceptional control, spin, and consistency.
Looking Ahead: MacIntyre’s Ryder Cup Aspirations
With his well-structured bag and steady improvement in performance, MacIntyre is now aiming for a spot on the Ryder Cup team for the upcoming Bethpage Black showdown. His equipment choices—combining Titleist and TaylorMade clubs—seem to be working in his favor. Whether his current setup will propel him to the next level remains to be seen, but his commitment to fine-tuning his game through precise club selection is undeniable.
