In our forums, our members have been discussing putter colors. WRXer ‘BankBank’ has come to the conclusion that he putts far better with a black putter than any other color and is interested in hearing the color preference of fellow members.

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.

• sevenfourate: “I love the long-term ease of maintenance of a plain Stainless finish. But like do also love the contrast a black putter head gives. But having a marked/chipped up black finish would drive me nuts. I was at the BMW PGA at Wentworth last week. And saw a surprising number of players using the Red Odyssey putters. Which surprised me as they look quite ‘busy’ at address IMO……”
• caniac6: “I am using a stainless Cameron, and I like it, but it’s just a bit too shiny. I really prefer a stainless with a finish like the old stainless Pings.”
• GHIN and Juice: “I love an oil can finish, but I also hate getting rust marks on the head, so I’ll putt with an oil can finish until I can’t stand the rust anymore, and then I’ll change it to a pro platinum/ stainless look.”
• Fairway14: “My preference is a carbon steel head with a shiny black oxide finish.”
• iknowbagu: “Color never really mattered to me until I got my current putter. White with a black sightline that works in perfect symmetry with my white ball with a black line just has me really confident with my alignment when I’m over the ball.”

In our forums, our members have been discussing iron options for sweepers. WRXer ‘Chrisp’ is currently playing Nike’s VR Pro blades but is looking for the “playability of a blade but with a little more forgiveness”, and our members have been sharing their suggestions in our forum.

• xmanhockey7: “Don’t overlook the Apex Pros. They’re especially good if your miss tends to be a bit thin.”
• randytrevor: “I would give New Level PF-2 a look unless you want to stick to big OEMs. So far these have been as good as anything out and provide just enough forgiveness. You won’t get a tiny profile, but they will look good at address. These have literally been my most favorite set of irons to date.”
• Hougz79: “I’m a sweeper as well, and I love the turf interaction the P7MC gives me. I think they are reasonably forgiving if you are mostly on center for misses. They are very clean thru the turf IMO.”

In our forums, our members have been comparing and contrasting Srixon’s ZX7 irons with Mizuno’s MP 20 MMC irons. Plenty of our members are eager to hear from those who have played both, and those who have tested both have been sharing their thoughts in our forum.

• aquapig: “Both great clubs. It comes down to which turf interaction you get along with best. I play the MMCs and love everything about them.”
• 06VistaGT: “These were the two contenders after my fitting back in May. I went with the zx7s as they seemed just a bit more forgiving and slightly lower spin. I am pretty steep, so the v-sole seems to work well for me. The Mizuno’s are great, too. Will come down to personal choice.”
• Britboy: “Tested both in my fitting and went with MMCs as I preferred the DG 120 shaft, and they only had Modus 3 for the ZX7. Don’t think you can go wrong with either. ZX7s seemed a bit bigger, but both felt lovely and were relatively long and forgiving for their category. In my view comes down to shaft and brand/look preference.”
