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.

Which driver did you hit your longest drive with?

A great question and one to which you have to be at least slightly curious to hear the answer to: Which driver did you hit your longest driver with? Of course, the answer doesn’t necessarily mean the driver was(/is) the best/favorite weapon, and some of the responses feature unique situations—gale force helping winds, etc.

Check out the thread. You’ll be surprised by the responses

Should Tiger abandon the “Sunday red”?

Blasphemous topic, this one. Yet maybe a discussion that should have been had during Woods’ periods of slump: Should Tiger abandon the Sunday red all together? Should he only wear it when he has a reasonable chance of winning? Hot takes all around in user Stonewalled’s thread. Share your thoughts.

The great chipper debate

The club that won’t die. Staple of your grandfather’s golf bag, along with the extendable ball retriever, of course, the chipper somehow endures. For those with the yips or a general lack of touch around the green, the chipper presents an intriguing proposition: Use your putting stroke and this device to chip the golf ball.

Do you think any WRXers have chippers in their bag? Check out the thread to find out.

Oh brother, OWGR

Another enduring golf-related question: Does the Official World Golf Ranking methodology/algorithm need to be revised. Browns71213 posed the question, interestingly, in the wake of Tiger Woods’ Hero World Challenge performance.

To see what he took issue with and for a bevy of takes on the much-maligned system, check out the thread.

Iron improvement (or lack thereof) over the years

So, golf technology has improved a bit as, well, technology has improved in general. The forged iron, however, is the most similar club type to the tools of years gone by. This led Ozsouthpaw to ask: “In reality, have irons improved that much over the years?”

Great discussion. Check it out.

From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?

In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback 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.

Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”
