| McIlroy says he is better with new clubs
The Northern Irishman has not competed since his premature exit from the European Tour's Abu Dhabi Championship but said he was feeling refreshed after mixing some welcome holiday time with 10 days of practice sessions within the last few month.
"I'm actually much happier with how I'm dogging the club, World number one McIlroy told reporters at Dove Mountain on Tuesday <a href=http://angeloaktree.com/many.html>wholesale nike nfl jerseys</a> while preparing for Wednesday's opening round.
"The clubs were performance fine in Abu Dhabi, It was just just how I wasn't swinging at my best. I think I've turned a corner with my swing. I've got it back on course, And that's ultimately after that help me play better,
Widely panned for switching his golf brand last month from Titleist to Nike in a lucrative deal reported to be worth to the extent that $250 million over 10 years, McIlroy said he now tried to blinker himself from criticism whenever you can.
"at the beginning (Of his career) I guess I paid a lot more focus on it, But now I try to not read anything or not watch anything because you don't want any negative thoughts creeping into your head, The 23yearold built.
"It's part of whatever we do. We're under the spotlight and we're going to get criticised each, <a href=http://artbyjcrivera.com/really.html>authentic nfl jerseys cheap</a> Rightfully or wrongfully consequently. That's a perfect way it is. I've learnt that, And I'm facing it,
McIlroy, Who has put a new putter and a rather heavier driver in his bag, Said he had prepared himself for likely criticism when his switch to Nike was announced with much fanfare before last month's Abu Dhabi champion.
"I knew it happens if I didn't play well, And I probably put a little bit too much pressure on myself to play mainly because of that, your puppy smiled. "Abu Dhabi was a stressful week. there seems to be a lot going on.
"But I've had a nice few weeks off and I feel like I'm coming into this event prepared, Ready and swingers the club well. Hopefully that can produce playing some good golf and getting quite far into this week,
Sixtimes major champion Nick Faldo was one of those who criticised McIlroy for his switch from Titleist to Nike, educating Reuters it was "a dangerous move,
McIlroy said: "Nick Faldo doesn't know how I feel over the golf shot and i'm not sure how he felt, But my guess is he was somewhat analytically minded than I am.
"I try and keep things as elementary as possible. If I see the ball pointed in the direction that I want in the flight that I want, Then I'm positive. It is comfortable, And hopefully I can show that to everyone soon,
McIlroy, Who has been travelling with his girlfriend, Former world unique tennis number one Caroline Wozniacki, latest years weeks, Will take on a buddy, Ireland's Shane Lowry, In the opening round at Dove mntain.
"We played foursomes jointly for Ireland, McIlroy grinned. "We were a section of the same Irish amateur team for a few years.
"If we'd have thought playing in the European team championships at Western Gailes that we'd be playing in the first round of the Match Play here in a few years' time. it's pretty cool to think where we've come from,
