10 Revealing Photos from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the 2016 Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana. If you missed any of the photos from earlier this week, make sure to browse all of the galleries below.

TPC Louisiana isn’t technically in New Orleans, it’s in Avondale, but we’ll call it close enough to throw on our Mardi Gras beads and get the party started. Break out some cajun seasoning, boil up your crawfish and let’s reveal some photos from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

A bug’s life

I’m not certain whether the bugs flew on the clubs by accident, or if they’re intentional alternatives to tungsten or lead tape.

They could be new tour-issue insects we at GolfWRX just haven’t heard about yet, which would be a first.

Speaking of arthropods, check out Jason Day’s new Spider Limited Red putter, which has a design based on a venomous Redback Spider native to Australia.

Back to reality

53d28d618c166cec708be8ed384d93d3That’s the face you make when you come back from a crazy weekend of golf in the Bahamas with your boys, and realize you have to play golf while wearing shoes, pants and a shirt…

With no music blasting or shots of tequila at the turn. I know, Rickie, life’s tough.

A recent grip change for Rose

It’s been one year since Justin Rose won on the PGA Tour, his last victory coming at the 2015 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. He recently switched to the claw putting grip, too, possibly in an attempt to claw back into the winner’s circle again this year.

At least his caddie liked the claw joke.

On the grind

You know you’ve truly made it in the world of professional golf when Bob Vokey names a custom wedge grind after you. Vokey’s J Grind was released last year through WedgeWorks, and rumor has it the grind was made specifically for James Hahn. Maybe that’s why we haven’t see the PXG staffer switched out of his Vokey lobber yet?

And check out Jason Day’s custom ATV grind alteration on his TaylorMade Tour Preferred EF wedge, or at least the permanent-marker outline for one. Let’s call this one “All Day.”

Spin-milled sweet spot

Make putters great again

1ce34c7f4e3f3efcead2751445cf6523Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan has been remixed by Bryce Harper to “Make Baseball Fun Again,” and it was only right for a golf club company to run with the quote, as well.

In other news from Axis 1, the company has a new release: Axis 1 Tour putters. Check out more photos of the new putters.

Better come correct

Does Robert Allenby really think a few strips of lead tape will keep the self-proclaimed King of Revealing Photos (that’s me) from recognizing those are Srixon Z745 irons?

C’mon now, Rob.

‘Merica

What’s more American than benjamins and bald eagles? Jerry Kelly knows what I’m sayin’.

Fair is fair

It’s really only fair that Jonas Blixt gets custom irons with the colors of Sweden on his Cobra King Forged CB 3-iron, since Cobra designed its entire line of King irons and drivers around Rickie Fowler’s love for orange and black as an Oklahoma State University grad.

When in Nawlins…

Eat as the Saints do. There’s really no better way to start the day than coffee and fried Choux pastries with powdered sugar on top.

    How about a WITB for Jerry Kelly? What are those Srixon Z MBs? What version are those? They look rounded and not sharp with triangle muscles.

      Appears to be Srixon Pro 100 blades stamped to look like Z-series irons.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions 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.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
