Trackman Showdown: GBB Epic Sub Zero, M1, M2 and LTD Pro Drivers

WRXer TollBros set up an exceedingly thorough five-man test of the hottest drivers on the market, painstakingly analyzing looks, sound/feel, shot pattern/dispersion and performance. A truly exceptional post, and certainly in a must read if you’re in the market for a new driver this year. See the thread. 

Stenson’s surprising new weapon

GBB_Epic

Henrik Stenson parted ways (at least temporarily) with his life-saving/money-making Callaway Diablo 3 wood. In its stead: the Iceman dropped a Callaway GBB Epic in the bag. Not surprisingly, WRXers had much to say about one of the most significant fairway wood change in recent golf history. See the thread.

Your first set of clubs?

Ah, a stroll down Memory Lane. Chazb asks, “What was your first set of clubs?” Predictably, the responses are great and the heady brew of nostalgia flows freely. Sam Snead Signatures, boxed sets from Sears… just an awesome look at where it all began for our community of equipment enthusiasts (image c/o EmperorPenguin). See the thread.

The WRXiest bag

wrx-wedge-featured

If “WRXiest” as an adjective isn’t a thing, it darn well should be. Our resident statistician, Richie Hunt, is actually the author of this thread to determine the WRXiest possible bag setup. Rich’s suggestions include the venerable Callaway Steelhead and a Byron Morgan putter. To see what the rest of the community thinks, check out the thread.

The coolest golfers come from this state…

Plenty of room for debate, here. North Butte kicks off this thread by asking which state the coolest (professional) golfers come from. His suggestion? Texas, thanks to the likes of Hogan, Nelson, Trevino, Crenshaw, Kite, Jimmy Demaret and Jackie Burke. As a Pennsylvanian, I’m obligated to remind everyone that the King was from the Keystone state. Anyway, see the thread for plenty of back-and-forth.

    As Costco has proved with it’s Kirkland ball, getting good playing golf gear does not have to cost an arm and a leg…maybe people will start looking into some of the companies that offer very playable equipment at very reasonable prices…one for sure is Golfworks…..think about it you can pay $900 for a custom fit set of irons from the big boys or maybe less then $400 for a set of custom fit irons from a company like GolfWorks and in 3 years they will both be worth the same about $25 dollars….

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.
