PGA Show 2019: Demo Day recap

Published

on

The GolfWRX crew are on deck at this week’s PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando primed to deliver bundles of content to our members from the annual gearhead junkie extravaganza all week long.

On Tuesday, it was the show’s Demo Day, and our guys were on-hand to showcase the best of what was on display through all of our platforms. Whether it be our front page, forums, Twitter or Instagram, our crew had you covered, and here’s a recap of what our team checked out on-site yesterday.

Front Page

Kicking it off with our front page, GolfWRX’s Johnny Wunder spoke to Mizuno Golf Engineer, Chris Voshall, and got the lowdown on just what the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer is and how it’s able to select your optimum shaft by analyzing just three swings. Check out the interview here.

On the shaft front, our boys were on-hand to take a look at the new Fujikura Ventus shafts. All you need to know about these shafts from Fujikura can be found right here.

“How about some Fling Golf?” A question you may hear more often in the future. We checked out the game that incorporates a lot of traditional golf rules while adding its own funky twist. Find all the details on the quirky game here.

And here is a combined GPS, launch monitor, and skill-building unit that one GolfWRX staffer described as the “Best tech I saw today.” The Garmin Approach G80 is something you don’t want to miss. Find out all about it right here.

    You wrote “PRGR gold faced woods” when it should have been DAIWA GIII
