GolfWRX recently launched a new 8-part video series, called “The Modern Classics,” in partnership with 2nd Swing Golf. Throughout this video series, GolfWRX’s Head of Tour Content, Andrew Tursky, tests out 8 legendary used golf clubs that are still being played on Tour today. How do the older, less expensive products compare to modern technologies?

In the first seven episodes, Tursky tested:

For episode 8 – the finale of the Modern Classics series! – we highlight the TaylorMade M2 2016 driver, which was still being used by Justin Rose on the PGA Tour at the 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open. TaylorMade’s M2 2016 drivers are currently available on 2nd Swing’s website for $195.99.

Check out the video at the top of the page for more on the product, design, and how it stands up to testing against Tursky’s modern driver.

Just when you thought Joel Dahmen and Geno Bonnalie couldn’t be any more likable, they go ahead and gift the world this incredible video, where Bonnalie talks through Dahmen’s custom PXG 0211 ST irons, and PXG wedges.

Dahmen’s hilarious stampings include:

“Buckets”
“Pants Drunk”
“Bucket Hat Brigade”
“WWJDD” (What Would Joel Dahmen Do?)
An artistic mustache

Bonnalie also revealed some secrets to Dahmen’s gear setup, including bigger grips (midsize, +5 wraps under the right hand, and +3 under the left), an old Ping Anser hybrid (with the sticker still on it!), and a caddie-friendly driver headcover.

Watch below as Bonnalie – a certified star in his own right – takes us through Dahmen’s one-of-a-kind equipment setup.
