We have golf shoes on the ground at the PGA Merchandise show in Orlando. And while you may have seen our Show Stoppers feature on the main page, we have many, many more shots from the showroom floor in our forums.

Check out the 20+ threads and counting.

Who is completely content with their bag?

User pkshooter started this thread. Of course the answer for most WRXers is “not me,” as this is the nature of the equipment-loving beast.

As he writes:

“I have been playing some pretty good golf lately and I am confident with each one of my clubs. I’ve changed all the clubs in my bag over the past two seasons (except my 3 wood and 20-degree hybrid). Like several others here, I tend to get cabin fever toward the end of winter which results in spending time researching and purchasing new equipment.”

Are you happy with every tool in your toolbox at the moment, or are you always searching for something better?

Your clubs and your car: a correlation?

PXGDriver

Far from being a humblebrag (or outright brag) thread, Juice__25 started this discussion as an exercise in market research.

He says:

“I keep reading on different threads how people wouldn’t pay the $300+ per club PXG, and how it is the Lamborghini of clubs, or how PXG users also drive status symbol Ferraris. I don’t necessarily think that is the case. While there maybe some price correlation, I don’t necessarily think there’s a status symbol or performance correlation. Only way to find out, is to take a sample!”

Many interesting responses follow, and you may (or may not) be surprised to learn that many WRXers have far nicer clubs than cars.

Check out the thread.

John Daly’s inevitable progress toward the Champions Tour

pga_g_daly_b1_600x400

Hard to believe that free-swinging, rough-living John Daly is 49. The 1991 PGA Champion and Rookie of the Year will be eligible for the Champions Tour in April.

User CBJ highlighted the proximity of Long John’s 50th, asking what Daly on the senior circuit will look like, what it will mean for the tour, and if he can contend.

What do you think about JD on the AARP circuit?

Ping Anser TR 1966 frenzy

PGAMShow2016

It’s always interesting to see what forum members get really excited about. And while it’s not necessarily an indication of the merit of product, forum chatter surrounding a particular piece of equipment you’re considering purchasing is a must-view.

In this thread (started by thinch84), WRXers collectively lose their minds as details about the new putter offerings from Ping become available.

Have a look.

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.
