Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt of a gear Q&A our Andrew Tursky did with Collin Morikawa ahead of the Scottish Open. The story was originally filed for PGATour.com in conjunction with our ongoing equipment content partnership. Check out the full piece here.

On Wednesday, following his pro-am round, GolfWRX.com caught up with Morikawa to discuss all of the recent gear changes, including his thoughts on the new TaylorMade driving iron.

GolfWRX.com: I feel like you and the putter have turned into a bit of a reality show lately. What’s the putter update?

COLLIN MORIKAWA: I think people are just catching up. I mean, I did this in college. I used to show up to every event with three putters and change mid-tournament. I mean, trust me, I’ve gotten to the point where I would want to put in two putters. At this point, right now, it’s nice to have this mallet in the bag.

I don’t quite know what TaylorMade is going to name it, but it’s just something I’ve been familiar with. I’ve used it in the past; it’s a shape that I like. So I’m just sticking with it. I think all the iterations of it are just me messing around with different necks, different offsets, but it’s the same putter, essentially. I know it comes down to me stroking it, but you have to feel comfortable over the ball.

GolfWRX.com: What would you name it (the putter)?

MORIKAWA: Um, “The Collin Putter.” Only if I putt well with it. If I don’t, I don’t know. Yeah, we’ll see.

GolfWRX.com: We’re also seeing a new driving iron in the bag. Do you plan on playing it, and what’s your review of it?

MORIKAWA: First off, I think it’s great. I like a driving iron that comes off really hot, and kind of jumps off the face. It’s something you’re going to use when it’s really windy.

I’m only going to put it in if it’s blowing over 20 mph, but I’ve found a shaft and found a head that launches nicely. For me, I don’t want to swing hard, especially in the wind, but you don’t want to swing hard with a 2 iron when you have it in your hand, because who knows where you’re going to hit it.

So when it jumps off the face, you know you can just kind of make center contact and go from there.

GolfWRX.com: We know in the past you’ve made some iron changes coming over here to Scotland. Anything going on in the bag when it comes to the irons?

MORIKAWA: Same thing. Yeah, same thing. Pitching wedge through 7-iron, and then 4-, 5- and 6-iron, I have these P-7CBs.

I just do it bounce wise, coming through this turf – the ball just sits down because it’s so firm and tight out here, and dry in a way that, with my blades sometimes I just catch it thin all the time and it obviously worked a few years ago and we’ve kind of done it every year.
