WRX Forum Buzzz
FTF: Why don’t you play a particular OEM?
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.
Do you carry a lob wedge?
We’ve debated how many wedges merit inclusion among your 14 implements of destruction. This week, the question in more specific: Do you carry a lob wedge, or is something in the 56-degree range sufficient for your golfing needs? See what WRXers are saying and join the discussion.
Your best deal on apparel… ever!
Wanna gloat about your glorious apparel haul more smugly than the golf apparel-clad gent above? You’ve come to the right place. Although it’ll be tough to beat this find by Chilidog: “I got a Luke Donald used tour shirt with logos on it for the $9.99 opening bid because the guy couldn’t spell. He said it was a tuor used RXL shirt.”
Tuor! RXL! See the thread.
Why don’t you play a particular OEM?
On the heels of last week’s popular “Why do you play X manufacturer’s equipment” comes the inverse. Playa asks the opposite: “Why don’t you play a particular variety of equipment?” Beyond mere bashing particular OEMs, the thread is a look at what WRXers value and the subjective nature of equipment-related decisions. See the thread.
Pet peeves when watching golf on TV
Perhaps it’s because the “commentary-to-action” ratio is so much greater in golf than, say, basketball, that we’re keenly aware of the talking heads’ talking during golf telecasts. Commiserate with the forum faithful regarding the maddening, saddening elements of golf telecasts. See the thread.
One-liners from the senior set
Whether coming from the mouth of your grandpa proper or another gentleman in his golden years, it seems some of the best on-course humor comes from the oldest among, as brockgolf44 observes. He offers this bit his grandfather: “After I hit two in the water and proceeded to drop another ball. “Son, get in the cart…this is a smoke and drink hole.’” No shortage of these comedic gems from the AARP crew in this thread.

In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback 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.
- Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
- MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
- courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”
Entire Thread: “From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?”

I can officially say I never hit a Nike club. I am happy about that.

I don’t play Callaway for 2 reasons. 1. There is a new “model” of basically the same clubs every 3 to 6 months which makes me just roll my eyes. 2. I went to test out a Callaway FT IQ back in the day at Golfsmith in the indoor range brand new off the rack. One hit and the hozzle seperated from the shaft and the head. I know it was probably just a one off freak thing, but it just put me off.

OEM marketing strategies: Pay pros to play their clubs and then sell their clubs to duffus recreational players at inflated prices to pay off the pros. It works every time, it’s a proven strategy to scam the duffers who are suckers for something new and shiny.

Feel free to start a thread on how bad OEMs are at putting on a putter grip correctly. Odyssey is by far the worst, but I love going to golf stores and playing with putters that are set like 20 degrees open because they cant line up a grip correctly with the top line.

Regarding clubs I avoid, Taylormade irons tops my list. I bought a set of their most recent irons couple of years back. Was having trouble, took them to loft/lie tech and found out that they were totally out of specs. Lofts and lies were off by 2 deg or more and no two clubs were the same. One was even longer. Their woods seem better, but I will never buy another Taylormade iron.
I stick with Ping, Callaway, and Titleist. I favor Ping and Titleist because they do not introduce new clubs every year and their quality holds up better.
