Nike Golf speculation and rumor

GolfWRX members are known for keeping up on the latest equipment releases, discussing the whispers they’ve heard in equipment circles, and voicing their opinions on what they would like to see released next.

In this thread, WRX members put Nike Golf into the rumor mill and predict what’s next. It’s always interesting to read these threads and then see what actually comes out at retail.

One of my personal favorite parts of the GolfWRX forums is getting introduced to awesome equipment I’ve never seen before, and this Onoff Kuro Forged iron is nothing short of beautiful.

See more in-hand photos of the Onoff Kuro irons in the forum thread.

    I know Miura is known for their beautiful precision irons and after looking at that hybrid from the address position I think maybe they should just stick with irons.

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.

One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:

“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.

Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”

And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.

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.

  • redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
  • otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech.  He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly.  Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy.  He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for.  There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind.  World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
  • konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.
