GolfWRX will have a fully loaded team of equipment gearheads covering all aspects of the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. We will be at Demo Day taking pics and video interviews. Then on Thursday and Friday we will attempt to do coverage that has never been seen before.
We will try to cover the big guys but most importantly we will try to cover all the smaller companies as well. We have already had a lot of requests for small club companies. There is also interest in new technologies in gadgets and apps for golf. Instructional devices that integrate into your electronic devices. So we will be on it.
We begin to assemble Monday and will be reporting through the week into Saturday. Photos will added daily and video interviews as fast as we can get them up. We will have a full team there… Richard (easyyy), Ryan (GxGolfer), Aaron (swa), Todd (Asleep), Zach (KascoPro), Zak the Editorial Manager, Greg (pga43), Rob (hipcheck), Rob (ROBOPTI) is in on special assignment LOL…. Wait till you see that. In short we will be armed with video, cameras, and keyboards to give you what you deserve and expect. The best.

TaylorMade is releasing its TP Black Copper putters to retail

We first spotted TaylorMade’s new TP Black Copper putters at the 2018 PGA Show, but the company wasn’t saying anything about specs, release date, pricing, technologies, nothing.
Then, we all saw Rory McIlroy switch to a TaylorMade TP Black Copper Soto proto putter ahead of the 2018 Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he won by 3 strokes. Of course, Rory’s specific Soto putter was made with a special insert. Click here for all of the info and specs on Rory’s putter.
Now, TaylorMade is releasing retail versions to the public in four models — Juno, Soto, Ardmore 3 and Mullen 2 — which will hit stores on 4/20 selling for $199 with a standard Black Lamkin Crossbone Pistol grip, and $219 with a SuperStroke Pistol 1.0 GT grip.
The putters have a triple-plated finish; nickel, then copper, then black chrome, according to TaylorMade’s Bill Price (Senior Director of Product Creation for Wedges and Putters). They’re then hand-polished to achieve the antique and non-glare finish. Overtime, and especially on the sole, Price says the copper will tarnish or oxidize to unveil a gradually more antique and rustic look. Rory McIlroy himself actually had a hand in inspiring the new finish.
“Rory was talking about certain finishes,” Price said. “He wanted something non-glare, with an antique type finish…. he wanted to be reminded of something old school.”
Thus, the TP Black Copper finish was born.
Also, the putters are machined from 303 stainless steel, they have adjustable sole weights and have the company’s familiar Pure Roll inserts in their faces. Check out more info about each of TaylorMade’s TP Black Copper models below.

*. Love to see some affordable new launch monitors for the home that actually work.,,, any of the tech stuff actually.
* Gadgets for teaching.
*. Pics of any concept stuff
* clic gears new cart/bag..I’d love to see that and offer myself up as a test subject for this and any other free gear…its the least I could do
In fact what if u hook up an ear piece , a head cam, etc. On each of you and live stream your visit…maybe we could steer you around a bit. Just a thought.
Have a great time guys
Best,

Danny,
I have interest in that Titleist driving iron too (712u).
I reached out to Titleist via Twitter and said they still don’t have a date to release that product to the public, still testing with their pros.

Hey Guys,
I would love to hear about the latest golf shoes available. I’ve recently had foot issues and would like to know about any new shoes that provide better support and cushioning.
Also, the latest golf swing trainer devices that help with improving your golf swing.
Cheers and look forward to your coverage.

Dear WRX
I hope you find at the NIKE store an addition to the NIKE GPS running watch integrated for gps golf. It seems a logical progression for this to happen. Can you please keep an eye out for this…any news would be gratefully accepted!
Cheers & happy reviewing!
