The GolfWRX forums exist so golfers have access to the latest equipment releases, hottest discussions, real equipment reviews, best instruction, new technologies and everything golf you can imagine.

So if you love golf, the GolfWRX forums are your sanctuary.

In the From the Forums weekly feature, we bring you the hottest, most buzz-worthy topics from our forums for your convenience. I’ll be your trusty tour guide to navigate the latest buzz.

Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.

TaylorMade PSi testing

HipCheck wrote: “Recently, 5 GolfWRX members were chosen to test TaylorMade PSi irons. Normally, testers would send their specs and receive their clubs after. This time, TaylorMade took it a step further and had each member properly fit by TaylorMade staff into their PSi irons. They’ll add their TaylorMade fitting sessions and PSi iron reviews shortly.”

Neilcsd was the first to post a thoughtful, insightful take on his fitting with TMag, and others have followed suit. As a combined PSi review and narrative of a cool experience, this thread is a must read (and it has pictures!).

Check out the thread.

Best blades you’ve ever played?

The first question regarding this thread: Which is better, the topic (the best blade irons you’ve ever played) or the handle of the thread starter: Sir Edward of Putternut?

While you ponder that, we’ll just say that if you’re a passionate purist and lover of the traditional forged iron, you have to get in on this discussion and sing the praises of your old Wilsons or Mizunos.

Check out the thread.

The most disruptive innovation in the golf industry?

Whether it’s the move from the feathery to the gutta percha ball or from persimmon to titanium club heads, the history of golf and golf equipment has always been one of innovation. User tlejiva started an awesome thread with the question, What do you guys think is the most disruptive innovation golf industry history?

Check out the thread.

Tiger swing video analysis

You knew when Tiger Woods tweeted a video hitting a soft 9-iron at a simulator screen — the first visual evidence of his swing in months — there would be analysis (in addition to jubilation that the former No. 1 is upright).

And there are few better places to talk shop about the golf swing than the GolfWRX forums. Ten pages and 276 posts long at the time of this writing, the breakdown of/commentary on TW’s “progressing nicely” video doesn’t disappoint.

Check out the thread.

The Zach Johnson thread was locked because too many comments touched on Zach’s religion. Fair enough. But isn’t golf a religion?

Guess you can’t respond to this promoted Zach Johnson thread. It’s been locked….. Is this place becoming the old bomb squad golf now? Locked threads, and are mass bannings far behind?……. The over regulation brought BSG down…

  Iceman,
  
  Unfortunately, the thread was locked after it appeared in this story, and for that reason the link to the Zach Johnson thread had been removed. We lock threads as infrequently as possible, but it’s something our moderators have to do from time to time when a thread changes character and is longer viable due to multiple rules violations. You can learn more about our rules and terms here if you have not already read them: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules.

Just a heads up, Ben, there are a few typos in this article. The second title should read “The best blades you’ve ever* hit”, and in the first paragraph under “Players you want to like but can’t” your first use of “it’s” should be “its”. There may have been one more, but I forget where it was.

  Thanks for the heads up, BH. Those typos have been corrected.

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

GolfWRX Staff

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.

RELATED: ‘There were a number of red flags’ – Ludvig Aberg reveals why he turned down multiple LIV offers

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.
