10 interesting products from the 2022 PGA Merch. Show
Last week, GolfWRX was on site for the golf business’s annual winter rite: the PGA Merchandise Show.
While the weather wasn’t exactly ideal for demo day, there were no such difficulties inside the Orange County Convention Center.
As usual, we have several jam-packed galleries for you to check out in our forums, with plenty of fun, exciting and creative products on show.
You can check out the galleries at the end of the post, and here we’ll highlight 10 of the most interesting products that turned our heads at the event.
Golfzon
These high precision golf simulators feature some high-tech features, including:
- A Moving Swing Plate that allows players to hit shots anywhere on the multi-surface hitting mats. The Moving Swing Plate’s accommodates 360 degrees of directional movement to provide real-world play by simulating course slopes from tee box to the putting green.
- Auto Tee-up automatically collects and dispense golf balls for each shot, with tee heights being adjustable so that it can be positioned at the right height for the driver every time.
- Multi-surface Hitting Mats with three types of hitting mats, each portraying fairway, rough, and sand bunker conditions provide a realistic simulation of a real golf course.
Urquhart Golf Club
How about playing an entire 18 holes of golf using just one club? Well, with the Urquhart club, you can now do just that.
The Urquhart is an adjustable loft golf club that can transform into clubs between putter and lob wedge in 2 seconds with a simple adjustment.
Exputt
Exputt RG uses a high-speed camera and innovative tracking software to track your swing mechanics and ball movement.
Users can roll out the putting mat and plug in the high-speed camera, allowing them to be on their favorite course green in no time. From beginners to pros and every level in between, the Exputt RG allows players to make long-term improvements to their short game and is compact and easy to carry, meaning it can be used anywhere that there’s a TV.
Rookie Rookie Laser Putter
The double laser projected from the head of this training putter is designed to vastly improve putt targeting.
Constructed with a powerful stainless head body, special coating technology, and Shark Semi-Pistol Grip, this training putter is used in the following way:
- After you address your putt, press the button on the grip to activate the laser guideline.
- Release the button to deactivate the laser, and perform your stroke.
- Repeat the process and actively correct your address position.
WhyGolf’s Pressure Plate
With the help of WhyGolf’s Pressure Plate, players will learn when and by how much to shift their weight during their swing.
Shifting your weight in a swing is important, but it’s hard to know when and by how much. The Pressure Plate tips only when a user shifts their weight correctly, be it on a chip, pitch, or full swing.
WellPutt’s Big Tilt
The BigTilt is a complete putting training solution that provides a player with the opportunity to develop the “Make-it-mindset” by training feel and vision on various slopes from 0% to 5% alongside a Well-line projection system that projects 3 different lines of break according to 3 different speeds.
In addition, through the BigTilt Pro training App a player can access a plethora of putting drills and exercises that challenge them to develop further the 3 key pillars of successful putting: Technique, Feel and Performance.
Golf Skate’s Caddy Tourer
The innovating GSC Tourer allows players to experience a faster-paced game, with players able to ‘ride the turf’ cruising to their own ball without waiting for their co-player as in a traditional golf cart. The GSC Tourer also charges quickly and efficiently making it green.
Alignment Ball Mark
The Alignment Ball Mark combines a two-spike ball marker attached to a rotating alignment component. The ball mark has the ability to read putts while adjusting the alignment without compromising the ball’s position on the green.
The alignment component (top part) rotates 360 degrees in both directions, and the tool is designed to comply with the rules of the USGA.
4 Yards More Tees
4 Yards More is a tee that is designed to, well, do just that. The most played tee on the Champions Tour promises added distance and accuracy and fully conforms to the rules of the USGA and R&A. The tees have been involved with wins at the Senior British Open, Pebble Beach and the U.S. Women’s Open.
MotoCaddy’s S1 Electric Trolley
The easy-to-use S1 combines styling with a high-resolution, anti-glare LCD screen. Features include Adjustable Distance Control and a USB charging port to make the most of your tech while you play, and it’s ideal for golfers looking for an easy-to-use and impressively featured entry-level trolley.

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.”

Is the Urquhart adjustable club even legal? What about the rule against changing the characteristics of a club mid-round?

40-45 years ago my father had an adjustabie club very similar to the Urquhart. If I remember correctly,it needed an allen wrench to adjust the loft. I actually learned to putt using it.
