First, a friendly reminder: You may have seen our front page story on Callaway’s new XR16 and XR16 Pro drivers. And while Andrew Tursky provided you with all the details of the Boeing-technology laden weaponry, a necessary complement to the piece is our forum thread that featured nearly 20 photos of the clubs.

So when you see good stuff on the front page, there’s almost always related threads in the forums.

Check out photos and discussion here.

Not surprisingly, our staff photographer Greg Moore acquires quite a few goodies in the course of his Tour travels. And being the magnanimous fellow he is, Greg is giving some of his accumulated swag away.

To see what he’s giving away and what you need to do to toss your name in the hat, check out the thread.

Waiting for that knock on the door?

Some of the best posts in the GolfWRX forums get at the experiences we, as golfers, all have. Carn9698’s thread gets at the heart of the anguish that is waiting for a golf club or equipment delivery. “Every time I hear the slightest noise downstairs I have to check the front door,” he says. Can you relate?

Commiserate here.

So, “murdered out,” as the kids say, means “all black,” for those decidedly less hip among us.

More creative in his posts than his forum name, displayname started the thread, saying “I’ve seen several great examples of people’s murdered out or blacked out putters on here, and I was thinking it would be fun if we started a thread with pics of some of the best of the best!”

The examples that follow are superb, even if you’re not the biggest fan of the aesthetic.

Have a look at the full roster of goodness.

We brought you the story behind the fashion-forward Mr. Fowler’s footwear the other day. Not surprisingly, forum members had a lot to say on the topic (and with much gusto).

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.”

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

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.

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.
