From Fourteen Golf:
This is the “ultimate” tour inspired forged iron that consists of a combination of both traditional and modern features. Not only does this iron have an orthodox muscle back design, it also includes the latest club technology that enhances its functionality. At Fourteen Golf, we wanted to maintain the advantage of the controllability of a muscle back design while improving shot consistency and forgiveness. We are confident that these enhanced design elements will definitely put our tour model irons ahead of many of our competitors.
The “Reverse Muscle Back Design” allows stability in the club head movement. As seen in the diagram, the upper blade portion is slightly thicker and some weight is distributed on the upper part of the club head as well. These irons allow golfers the ability to hit any type of shot in any situation while gaining overall shot quality without having to worry about distance control.
Recent tour golf ball technologies have led to reduced spin on long shots and higher spin performance for short shots. Long irons need a relatively lower CG, allowing the ball to launch higher and land softer. In comparison, short irons have a relatively higher CG, creating a more aggressive trajectory. These irons are designed to have great compatibility with recent golf ball innovations, so golfers do not have to manipulate their swings in order to achieve their desired results, allowing the clubs to work for them.
We closely matched the CG distance with our tour model driver. We did this so that there is a better transition from a driver to an iron, which allows the golfer to swing at the same tempo and also obtain better shot consistency. These irons were strategically made so that tour pros have a better transition from club to club and that they can consistently manage to perform well under any type of situation.

From Joe Kwok Golf Shop:
Good custom fitting is a marriage of science and art. It requires meticulous person who knows what works, is willing to put the time and effort, and can give critical feedback to the customer. The goal is to improve accuracy, balance, consistency, distance, efficiency, and feel. Good fitting is not about hitting a 350 yard drive once a round. It is about consistently maximizing your distance and accuracy. We look at the entire package, from your current equipment to your current swing, but more importantly, we will discuss how to realistically maximize your potential. This is where club building comes in. The beauty of Joe’s skill is how he builds your club by understanding the specs of every component and how each affects your swing. Fitting is a personal experience and we believe in developing a strong relationship with each of our customers. Testimonials from happy customers of all skill levels can attest to our proven and thorough fitting process.

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject 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.
- Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
- RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
- YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
- golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
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.”

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.
- RELATED: ‘There were a number of red flags’ – Ludvig Aberg reveals why he turned down multiple LIV offers
One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:
“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.
Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”
And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.
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.
- redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
- otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech. He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly. Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy. He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for. There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind. World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
- konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.

These look like any number of Mizuno blades.
Like my old MP14.
Nothing new here.

These irons are beautiful and I can only imagine how buttery they must feel. The reverse muscle back is an interesting idea and the re-designing of the muscle back to complement today’s balls is an idea that’s long overdue. I’d love to put these babies in my bag where my 30 year old Australian blades used to be.
