Patrick Reed signs with PXG
One of the highest profile equipment free agents remaining on the PGA Tour is a free agent no longer.
Prior to the opening event of 2022, former Masters Champion Patrick Reed has signed an equipment deal with PXG. Reed will instantly become the headline player for PXG, where he will join Zach Johnson, Joel Dahmen, and Jason Kokrak on the staff.
Signing an equipment deal is something new for the 31-year-old, as he has been a free agent for the majority of his career.
Previously, his bag has been comprised of a Titleist driver, TaylorMade 3-wood and Callaway hybrid. And his Grindworks irons.
Speaking on the signing, Reed said
“PXG is such a natural fit for me. I love the message they send and the brand they have built, and that takes a great team. I’m so excited to be a part of the PXG Troops and for what is to come.”
The terms of the deal are not yet reported, but at the very least, Reed will be wearing a PXG hat and using the Gen 4 driver; which he has been using for the past few months.
Reed added:
“The new GEN4 drivers are in a class of their own. I love the launch, workability and spin. The sound is pure and you feel like you can just unleash it. Safe to say, I’m very excited about this year.”

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups 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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (4/26/24): Artisan 0521 custom putter
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for an Artisan 0521 custom putter
From the seller: (@Nobody2): “$775 -Artisan 0521 custom putter PVD (black finish) with sweep neck hosel. There are no personal stampings other than my player # in very small print on the side of the hosel (all Artisan products have this along with the date it was made). This putter looks absolutely amazing and has only been used for 3 rounds. It has a black steel shaft and has a very Cam Smith look to it. The putter looks new and has no wear marks anywhere on the putter. It comes with extra weights (one set of of 5 gram weights and one set of 15 gram weights). The head cover is a a navy blue ‘quilted blade putter cover.’ If you are wondering why I am selling…I flat out have the yips and the only thing saving me is a broomstick. New, this putter is $1085, so if the specs work for you (grip, length and lie can certainly be tweaked) it will save you some good money and 2 month wait time.
Specs:

This website is full of a bunch of perfect people spewing judgment and hate on everything posted. I’m so thankful you aren’t members at my club, and I don’t have to associate with any of you.

The brand everyone loves to hate meets Phatrick, the person everyone loves to hate. Perfect match.
Does PXG make a shovel?

IMO PXG drivers will be in the bags of those sucking hind tit

It’s definitely not more than an opinion. Team tmag had 1 guy in the field this week. They also lost their best player to Callaway.

He’s signed just to play the driver and wear the hat.
Unbranded

Reading interpretation is not your strong suit eh? It says at the very least that’s what he’s playing. They only have a picture of him playing a driver and wearing hat. Terms of deal have not been disclosed.

Thanks for the reply Oppenheimer. His deal is for only the driver and hat. And yes, I do know that as fact.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

He has a Grindworks logo on said hat. It’s minor club deal. It’s mostly the hat and cash.

I can’t believe brand snobbery still exists, I’ve used Drivers from all the big brands,but and my current £205 PXG driver is the most forgiving and longest. Try these ?
