SPOTTED: Brooks Koepka testing a TaylorMade M2 driver at the Ryder Cup
On Wednesday, we spotted U.S. Ryder Cup team member Brooks Koepka testing a TaylorMade M2 driver on the range at Hazeltine.
Most recently in Koepka’s WITB was a Nike Vapor Fly 10.5-degree driver with a Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana D+ 70TX shaft. From photos, it appears that the M2 setup he’s testing is equipped with the same shaft.
We also spotted Koepka testing his old Scotty Cameron putter at The Barclays 2016, which he has since put into play.
What do you think about Koepka’s decision to bring out a new driver the week of the Ryder Cup? See what GolfWRX members are saying about it in the forums.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

My guess is that he’s been fooling around with an M2 for weeks. Just because this is the first time that we have seen one in his hands on a range with an international press corps means nothing. A driver is not a set of irons or a new ball.
No big deal. I just hope he loves it and hits some bombs.

Rarely does someone hit one of the M drivers and not immediately want to game it.

I don’t think it is rare to say those drivers are garbage. Over hyped club at the least

I tried the M drivers and I am still gaming my Jetspeed TP. Just did not like the look or feel of the M’s and my GC2 numbers were the same to slightly worse.
