‘I am ready for blades – where do I start?’ – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing about moving to blade irons. WRXer ‘Sonnygolf’ bullishly kicks off the thread, saying: “Ready to join the best players in the game by using the best type of clubs in the game. Question whats a good set to start with?”, and our members have been sharing their suggestions 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.

  • gwelfgulfer: “Used set of older ones like MP-33s, 32/67s or TP MBs. Lots of quality sets you can get for not much and can be flipped for the same amount when you’re ready to get something newer.”
  • Avador Naval: “If you’re truly ready for blades it doesn’t matter what you pick – choose what you like to look at and what feels good to you when struck. If you’re a poseur, stay away from Mizuno. Great clubs – no bounce. You’ll be laying sod all over the place and be stuck telling your partners you’re a +3 but just having a bad day…”
  • brew4eagle: “Wilson Staff FG- 17, 51, 53, 59, 62…”
  • uglande: “Where do I start?” The same place you’ll finish: Mizuno MP-20. Nothing feels better. Reasonably priced. Surprisingly forgiving. Great stock shaft options. Can easily blend with other MP irons. The MMC is fantastic if you want more forgiveness in the longer irons.”
  • SEP1006: “ADAMS MB2’s, one of the most forgiving ( for a blade ) blades ever made!”

    8, 9, P is where to start, I play them upto 6i but find my 6 a little too “workable” when I’m not on song. Drop off in distance is dramatic with a bad shot but the good shots are sublime

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

Published

on

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!
