Published

on

The GolfWRX Forums exist so golfers have access to the latest equipment releases, hottest discussions, real equipment reviews, best instruction, new technologies and everything golf you can imagine. So if you love golf, the GolfWRX forums are your sanctuary.

In the From the Forums weekly feature, we bring you the hottest, most buzz-worthy topics from our forums for your convenience. I’ll be your trusty tour guide to navigate the latest buzz. Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.

Your best golf purchase in the last 5 years?

What’s your best equipment purchase in the last half-decade? MixedBag kicked off a thread asking just that question. Interestingly, his reply includes a stand bag. Plenty of unique responses (new grips, rangefinders) in this great thread. Check it out.

Have any drivers stood the test of time?

To answer this question, we first have to define “test of time,” of course. Obviously, a persimmon-headed Wilson from the 1950s isn’t quite going to stack up against an M1 or GBB Epic. AlexChristensen85, who started the thread and posed the question, is looking at drivers pre-2012…so anything 2011 or earlier.

Any drivers still worth bagging? See what WRXers think.

The best Mizuno irons ever?

Owing to their exacting standards and grain-flowing forging, Mizuno has long been regarded as one of finest iron makers in the game. Certainly the recent swell of non-contract players on Tour gaming Mizunos only boosts this reputation. But what are the best-regarded irons from one of the best iron manufacturers in the history of golf?

See what the WRX membership thinks in this excellent thread.

The great “Circle T” debate

While there have been threads dedicated to the eternal Tour equipment/putter debate, this one in particular focuses on whether Scotty Cameron Circle T putters are “worth it.” Many good arguments in this one, particularly the “resale/value appreciation” take. Check out the thread.

PSA: Masters discussion thread

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.
