The Golf Blog: Johnny Miller stands by his assessment that switch to Nike clubs hurt Rory McIlroy
The Golf Blog says: Johnny Miller was one of the first golf analysts (in addition to Nick Faldo) to predict back in February that Rory McIlroy would have a difficult time switching to Nike clubs.
Johnny was asked about it again and he stands by his assessment: “I would say it’s one thing to change your driver or your wedge, but you’re asking for huge trouble when you change all your clubs and your golf ball at the same time. I did it with Wilson, and I went into an immediate slump for four or five months. He’s too talented not to find it. But when you sign a contract like that (with Nike), and you’re that set for life, a signal goes on in your head: ‘I’ve got it made.’ It’s a rare signal – a lot different than a wolf.”
Even Rory himself recently admitted that he’s lost with his game. Let’s hope he can turn it around.
