Checkout the equipment Germany’s Martin Kaymer used to dominate and win the US Open Championship by eight strokes.
The TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff professional first put the TaylorMade SLDR driver into play at the 2013 Open Championship and has kept it in the bag ever since. The SLDR is engineered with a remarkable low and forward centre of gravity (CG) placement which results in dramatically reduced spin rates.
Known for rarely making equipment changes, Kaymer also added the new Tour Preferred MC irons (pictured) to his bag at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February.
On the eve of the US Open, Kaymer had a Tour Preferred 3-iron (20°) de-lofted to a 2-iron loft (17°) for low trajectory shots and maximum roll on Pinehurst’s fast fairways.
