Published

A new driver from Callaway, called the XR 16 “Sub Zero,” recently appeared on the USGA’s List of Conforming Clubs. Here’s how it looked in black-and-white.

In his own words, here’s why Gore switched from Callaway’s Double Black Diamond into the XR 16 Sub Zero.

As part of a GolfWRX giveaway, Gore answered questions from our community about his current bag setup, thoughts about the PGA Tour, and other random questions — like has he ever shotgunned a beer and who’s the funniest guy on Tour. Read Gore’s entire Q&A with the GolfWRX community here.

    Callaway is garbage, just like TSHWAG. How do you leave PING for Callaway?

    Ah. That’s the driver I was wondering about. What’s the retail price?

    I thought that Jason switched because he started hitting the new XR16 Subzero 18 yards farther. (I note it wasn’t a direct quote from Jason so there’s no need to impugn Jason’s credibility.)

    “Confidence” is as much of a benefit as any launch monitor numbers, and often enough “confidence” produces better numbers. A great-looking driver is a good way to build confidence; and I’m not sure that there is a better-looking head shape at address coming out this year. Could there be a more classic-appearing driver this year?

    I am going to watch anxiously to see what numbers reviewers get with this driver when they can get on a launch monitor. It is a spectacularly good-looking driver. I think I have been waiting five years for a great new driver head with classic dark paint and a plain stainless face. It is what a driver should look like.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

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.”
