13 Revealing photos from the Quicken Loans National

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the Quicken Loans National at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., hosted by Tiger Woods. In case you missed any of the photos, you can find all of the galleries here:

Equipment junkies got their fix this week, with Titleist dropping new AP1 and AP2 irons, new T-MB irons and new CB irons, as well as the H1 and H2 816 hybrids, too. Callaway also came in hot with its new Great Big Bertha and Big Bertha Alpha 816 drivers and fairway woods.

Let’s see what else happened at the Quicken Loans with this week’s Revealing Photos.

Tiger’s body guard tried so hard to keep a straight face

Inner monologue: “Alright. No big deal, it’s just Tiger Woods. Stay cool.”

b8ae32936900c449b5079a59e769a9f1

“Yea, I got this. Calm, cool and collected.”

“Man, this is so sweet. Just me and Tiger strolling along.”

“Whoops! Forgot where I was for a second. Hold it back.”

Toe Hang’s WITB

Not sure who Toe Hang is, but he seems to be a fan of putters.

Gone fishin’

Head down, casually strolling through the course with a fishing rod. Love this move. Forget golf, where the lakes at?

Butt wait…

Is that a butt weight on Lamkin’s new putter grips? I believe it is.

Odyssey’s creative covers

No 3-Jacks. Brilliant.

And “Odyssey” as the hockey jersey name patch on the blade version of the cover?

Next level stuff.

The solution to Rory’s habits

If he put a floaty on all of his golf clubs, he could just let the clubs fly with no worries.

Problem solved.

Does K.J.’s caddie get paid double?

Carry the bag, and spot for K.J. … who refuses to stop working out.

All day, everyday.

Mitch Cumstein’s nemesis

There’s no way he could see Blayne Barber’s murdered out GoLo 3 putter while night putting with the Dean’s daughter.

Unnecessary abbreviation

1st aid? I think “First Aid” is short enough.

Quicken Loans appreciates the caddies…

… for now. We’ll see if they’re singing a different tune when a thunder storm rolls through the area. Back under the tin roof!

Tiger who?

d71e59a7736bd31e305e1bf1b3b1c634

High on the list of people you wouldn’t expect Tiger to invite to his tournament: Vijay Singh.

Remember when Vijay’s caddie wrote “Tiger who?” on his hat at the 2000 Presidents Cup? Not a good idea. Tiger tightened up his “gimmie range” for Singh that round, and beat him on three occasions during the cup — most notably a 2&1 singles match.

Watney’s Nike Free Trainer 5.0 v6 AMP’s

Kick-game heat.

You can buy them here. When people ask where you found them, just tell them you have a sneaker hookup #urwelcome

“816” continues to be the most popular number in golf

Callaway, Titleist and now Fourteen Golf each have golf clubs with the 816 in their name. Weird.

    What, is “816” the “420” of golf?

    KJ Choi working out and Jimenez knee roll stretch get me every time….
    And Vijay’s beautifully tempoed reverse C makes him forever loveable to me…

    All Time best, so far! Keep up the great work, though I did give you a lot of great content to choose from this week. Now I just have to step up my game for you from now on! Thanks, AT

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

Published

on

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.”
