FTF: You know a golfer’s lying about his game when…

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.

The Clubs That Made You Brand Loyal

Where does brand loyalty begin? Casey-0507 essentially poses that question by asking WRXers what club/clubs inspired loyalty to a particular OEM. Of course, some members have no allegiances whatsoever, but for the “Ping guys” or “Titleist guys” of the golf world, it’s an interesting thread. See the thread.

Equipment You Always Buy New (Or Used)

Golfers are a finicky bunch, no doubt. So the fact that this particularity extends to purchase patterns shouldn’t come as a surprise. Golf equipment is also an arena of rapid depreciation of value, so it’s interesting to see what WRXers insist on buying new and what they’d rather save a buck on and buy used. See the thread.

Least Favorite Design Feature on a Golf Hole

We don’t talk about course design in FTF, and that’s a shame, because there are related hot takes and strong opinions aplenty. Larrybud, who started the thread, says he finds forced layups off the tee on long par-4s particularly irksome (no argument there).

Some great points about frustrating design elements in this one. See the thread.

You Know a Golfer’s Lying About His Game When…

Now, golf-related stories don’t approach fishing tales in their general level of embellishment, but we’ve all heard a tale or two that sounded a bit suspect. SixtySomePing kicked off this thread dedicated to golfers’ tall tales.

(And with respect to the featured image, we’re certainly not calling Anirban Lahiri a liar, the picture just looked right!) See the thread.

Not Enough Club

RSinSG shares his observations working at a golf course edging bunkers. As such, he gets to see a wealth of golfer approach shots. And by his calculations, 95 percent of golfers don’t take enough club.

Sure, everyone wants to hit their 9-iron 150, but is there an epidemic of golfers thinking they hit it farther than they do? See the thread.

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.”
