In our forums, our members have been discussing clubs that should have reached icon status.

WRXer ‘MtlJeff’ kicks off the thread with his selection saying, “Callaway Mavrik family of woods deserved waaaaaaaaay more love”, and our members have been sharing their picks 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.

TLUBulldogGolf: “Titleist 905S. It was quickly overshadowed by the 905R, but I always loved the shape, and it was a low spin cannon.”
JShaw: “Lynx Black Cat irons. The steel shafted ones were quite good and ahead of their time in design with notched weighting and vibration dampening. Unfortunately, the heads flying off the graphited shafted ones eventually ruined the company.”
minhjn: “OG Ping Rapture 14* fairway wood. For 2006, this club was hot. Full titanium construction, deep face, lots of heel to toe camber, what more could you want? The ZX fairway is honestly really really good, but no one except me plays one.”
Mattm87: “While I’ve never played them I’ve lusted over a set and kick myself for not buying a set pre-covid prices, but the Adams Idea MB2 are just pure eye candy and also ahead of their time with the weighting. I’ll give honorable mention to the Idea CMB irons because they weren’t available in LH.”

In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. 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.

Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”
