Is Rory McIlroy ready to switch golf equipment already? According to No Laying Up’s Chris Solomon, the No. 3-ranked golfer in the world is prepared to put TaylorMade’s M2 driver and fairway woods in the bag at the WGC-HSBC Champions this week in China, and he has the launch monitor numbers to prove it.

Those numbers seem reasonable given the Trackman screen shots we’ve seen Rors post in the past. Giving more credence to the report is that fellow long-hitting, Nike Golf staffer Brooks Koepka has ditched his Nike driver in favor of TaylorMade’s M2.

The last time we saw McIlroy on the course was at the Ryder Cup, where he was using the Nike Vapor Fly Pro driver he had in the bag throughout 2016.
