Equipment
GolfWRX is going to the PGA Merchandise Show
We want to hear from you… What do you want to see? We will be live at the PGA Merchandise Show next week!!!
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.
If you want us to cover anything please ask in here. We might not have thought of it unless you ask us. WHAT DO YOU WANT? We want to hear from you.

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups 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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

*. 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!
