Spotted: Rory McIlroy’s Scotty Cameron T5.5 Proto putter
Rory McIlroy has been testing a few putters this year, and this week, we are seeing another new one at the FedEx St. Jude. The new flatstick is a Scotty Cameron T5.5 Prototype that is based off a retail Phantom X 5.5 putter. Rory has selected Scotty’s Chromatic Bronze color for the putter, a hue that he has been fond of and used on many of his flatsticks. Scotty’s Phantom X 5 has been very popular on tour with versions being used by the top pros on every tour.
The main body of the putter, including the “fangs,” is milled from stainless steel, while the sole plate is crafted from aluminum. Both pieces are held together with four button-head hex screws. Rory’s T5.5 features a single black siteline on the top and plain black rear flange that runs between the stainless fangs. Triple cherry bombs fill the back cavity, but are left naked with no paint fill except for the Circle T logo in the heel side bomb. Twin 10-gram Circle T weights are installed in the sole and the face looks to have a medium milling depth to give Rory the sound and feel he desires.
The putter is finished off with a gloss black shaft and Rory’s usual Super Stroke Zenergy Pistol Tour grip.

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 initial check is for $27,000. This is the first time I’ve actually earned something, and I’m very happy about it. I’m going to work even harder from now on and I can’t wait for my paycheck sb-13 the following week. For further information, click the home tab.
