Top-30 equipment photos from the 2021-2022 PGA Tour season

Published

on

During the practice round days of every event during the PGA Tour season, GolfWRX photographer Greg Moore is out taking photos of the golf clubs and equipment that PGA Tour players use. Whether it’s brand new equipment, a club that’s been in the bag for a decade, or a custom 1-of-1 product, Moore is there to photograph it.

As for myself, I rejoined GolfWRX.com this year to team up with Moore each week to tell the stories behind the equipment PGA Tour players use, and to help out taking photos when needed (which is rare, because Moore usually has the inside scoop on everything).

While taking a look back over the season’s worth of our weekly equipment photos, I wanted to compile a list of some of my favorites. I was going to narrow it down to my top-10 photos, but there were just too many cool custom builds that we spotted this year to overlook.

So, below are my top-30 favorite equipment photos from this year, with related links for each to see more photos and read the stories behind them. Enjoy the look back from this season, and we’ll see you soon in Napa for the start of the 2022-23 season.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best 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.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
