GolfWRX Live at the 2020 PGA Show: Top 10 things we loved
As the 2020 PGA Show comes to a close for the crew at WRX. We went through the experience and all the pics and are now giving you the top 10 things we loved at the show.
G/FORE MG4+ Golf Shoe
If you were a fan of the look and feel of the popular knit MG4, then you’ll love the stability and more “golf feel” of the +.
Dormie Workshop “Tigers Woods” Crew Neck Knit Sweater
What else is there to say about this Canadian high-end accessory company, everything they do is on fire.
Criquet “Masters” shirts
What’s better than the Masters? The folks at the Austin-based Criquet gave a nod to the week we all love and the line flows from Monday to Sunday. There is even the “86” which is a nod to the Golden Bear’s final triumph.
Melin A-Frame Hydro Hat
Melin’s hat will be worn by Phil in 2020 is basically the only headwear packed with serious technology: a water-resistant exterior, and sweat-wicking interior lining, as well as Thermoflex snapback closure, and an anti-microbial sweatband.
Bobby Headcovers
Fresh, creative headcovers made of premium leather that’s both water and stain-resistant.
TRUE Linkswear Shoes
The all-new TRUE Linkswear line goes from slip-ons to weather battling shoes including knit materials to keep you comfy and dry.
MacKenzie Walker Golf Bags
The design is simple and classic, that’s the beauty of them. Made from high-quality materials including fine leather they are the perfect walking bag.
FlightScope MEVO+
This was the buzz product before the show started and judging by the people lined up to try it out the buzz was real. As of now, it is the most affordable radar launch monitor to offer ball and club data to the consumer.
Bettinardi HLX 3.0 Wedges
These wedges looked great with the iconic Bettinardi Honeycomb milling pattern on the back and offered in a satin chrome or black finish. The sole is milled into its final shape and the overall shape is more rounded but with a straighter leading edge. Forged out of soft carbon steel, these should offer a great solid feel with great responsiveness.
Swannies Golf “Goat” polo
Hailing from the northern state of Minnesota, this polo is creative in its design along with being subtle. Swannies Golf is making clothing that you can wear to the office and then still take out to the course for a twilight nine. Made from REPREVE polyester, the polo will keep you dry and cool in even the hot northern summers. The dancing pattern of goats, tigers, and trophies is a nod to one of the greatest to ever play the game.

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

Sorry the high-end golf technology companies of the world don’t cater to the lower end of the market. Build a product for sale at your price point or spend more money.
Always easier to complain

I’m surprised good tech doesn’t drop in price year after year like other electronics. Computers, televisions, tablets, etc… They all plummet in price and the newest one has a little more to offer. But these high end rigs just never drop a significant amount or ever become affordable.
