The GolfWRX Forums exist so golfers have access to the latest equipment releases, hottest discussions, real equipment reviews, best instruction, new technologies and everything else 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.

The oldest club in your bag you actually use?

User Tacrispy asks, “What’s the oldest club in your bag you still use?” We’re not talking about Billy Baroo here (although Smails does use that antique to great effect), but rather a club you still lean on heavily. For his part, Crispy says it’s a 2011 Adams hybrid.

Interesting replies in this brand new thread that’s sure to gain traction. Check it out.

SLDR Anonymous

Not to be insensitive toward actual anonymous addiction groups, but this “TaylorMade SLDR Anonymous” thread by Medic is superb. He begins:

“My name is Jim… And I used to love the SLDR…It started with some long drives. Some consistency. Some fun on the range and even during rounds. Sure, there was the occasional lost shot but I’m not a pro after all so it was easy to understand how a shot could go so astray. I invested in a shaft I have used in other drivers. And it helped. For a while.”

The rest of his post similarly funny as are the more than 70 replies. Check out the thread.

Perspectives on Mini Tours

WRXer ConcentricDimples is perplexed by mini tours. Namely, he wonders, why there seems to be a large volume of people playing extremely good golf who aren’t on the Web.com Tour.

“Are there a bunch of people (tens of thousands) running around who can shoot 65 from the tips on a tournament course that are still a far cry from the PGA Tour? Oh, and btw, do so while hungover and dehydrated?

The thread is worth reading for Rich Hunt’s reply alone. Check it out.

TW on Day’s slow play stance

If you didn’t catch Tiger Woods’ comments on Jason Day’s “I’m not going to rush” remarks, get in the loop here. Plenty of hot takes in the replies, perhaps none hotter than Dave 230’s perspective on Tiger Woods’ own “deliberate” pace: “But how can that be when Tiger is ‘great for the game’ but Day winning slowly is a ‘stain on the game’?” See the thread.

Best grip for sweaty hands?

You may think it’s dumb thread…until sweaty palms come for you.

MikeDMT writes: “My hands sweat like crazy when the temp gets above 85 degrees. I rotate through 4 or 5 gloves and don’t want to wear two. I like chipping and pitching without any glove at all.”

Plenty of WRXers have the same problem, and the replies are stellar (going well beyond grip advice). Have a look at the thread, if you’re in the “perspiring palms” group.

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

Gianni Magliocco

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.”
