Nike releases NG360 app for iOS devices
Nike Golf has released of the latest version of its NG360 golf app for iOS devices.
Nike’s foray into this evolving world combines both fun and instructional capabilities in a neat package. Features include:
- Score and stat tracking for up to four players (putts per round, driving accuracy and GIR), including the ability to set up virtual leaderboards to compete with friends.
- The ability to record your own swing and analyze with built-in functionality, as well as compare your swing to Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s swings.
- Photo sharing with custom score and statistic overlays.
- Training videos, drills and tips of the trade, including putting tips from Dave Stockton.
The apps functionality and usability has also been enhanced, as well as including fixes for previously reported software bugs. It remains to be seen if NG360 can compete with the “big boys” of the mobile golf instruction world, but it’s price (free) should help it get downloads.
The past few years have seen a revolution in the proliferation of and capabilities of portable devices with high-resolution screens and powerful cameras, enabling tens of millions globally to record and share intimate details of their daily lives. It’s no accident that the golfing world has eagerly embraced this technology, revolutionizing golf instruction as well as providing golfers the ability to share details on one’s swing and on-course performance with friends, family and golf instructors.
This app is now available for download in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, Scotland, and Germany via the Apple iTunes online store, with an Android version coming this summer.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (4/26/24): Artisan 0521 custom putter
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that 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.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for an Artisan 0521 custom putter
From the seller: (@Nobody2): “$775 -Artisan 0521 custom putter PVD (black finish) with sweep neck hosel. There are no personal stampings other than my player # in very small print on the side of the hosel (all Artisan products have this along with the date it was made). This putter looks absolutely amazing and has only been used for 3 rounds. It has a black steel shaft and has a very Cam Smith look to it. The putter looks new and has no wear marks anywhere on the putter. It comes with extra weights (one set of of 5 gram weights and one set of 15 gram weights). The head cover is a a navy blue ‘quilted blade putter cover.’ If you are wondering why I am selling…I flat out have the yips and the only thing saving me is a broomstick. New, this putter is $1085, so if the specs work for you (grip, length and lie can certainly be tweaked) it will save you some good money and 2 month wait time.
Specs:

So the purpose of being able to compare our swings to Tiger is so we can make sure we don’t do it the same and have back injuries?

I’ll take the back injuries along with the 14 Majors, the 79 wins, and the hundreds of millions of dollars too, thanks!
