Giveaway: Toulon Garage Rio Olympic Putters

post-1164-0-91305200-1470356066

Toulon’s new Garage Rio Olympic Putters sell for $699 each, making this a high-dollar giveaway. Make sure you hurry up and enter, as the contest ends Thursday at 6:30 a.m. ET!

Here’s how you do it. First, follow Toulon Design on social media to Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Then, in this thread, predict the combined four-round score of the gold, silver and bronze medalists. So if you think the gold medalist will shoot 15-under par, the silver medalist will shoot 13-under and the bronze medalist will shoot 12-under, then your predicted, combined four-round score would be 40-under.

The three contest entrants who are closest to predicting the combined four-round score will win. If there is a tie, Toulon Design will hold a random drawing to select the winner.

Member Testing: Graphite Design “Replace Your Driver Shaft”

post-1164-0-01880600-1466912130

Last month, we announced Surprise Shaft Testing was coming to GolfWRX. We wanted to know what driver shaft you were playing and if you’d like to try something that might be better for your game. Several hundred people members applied to be part of it, but only five could be picked.

Winners were quizzed on their drivers a bit more, and then were told to expect a package… very soon. They had NO IDEA what shaft manufacturer or model would arrive until they got the box.

When the boxes started arriving, this thread started. The good folks at Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts sent brand new Graphite Design driver shafts, properly tipped with their current driver head adaptor already set. Read what the testers are saying about what they got in the mail, and how it’s performing.

    This is confusing on how to enter. Can’t you just have an “Enter here” button?

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.
