GolfWRX Live at the 2020 PGA Show: Top 10 things we loved
As the 2020 PGA Show comes to a close for the crew at WRX. We went through the experience and all the pics and are now giving you the top 10 things we loved at the show.
G/FORE MG4+ Golf Shoe
If you were a fan of the look and feel of the popular knit MG4, then you’ll love the stability and more “golf feel” of the +.
Dormie Workshop “Tigers Woods” Crew Neck Knit Sweater
What else is there to say about this Canadian high-end accessory company, everything they do is on fire.
Criquet “Masters” shirts
What’s better than the Masters? The folks at the Austin-based Criquet gave a nod to the week we all love and the line flows from Monday to Sunday. There is even the “86” which is a nod to the Golden Bear’s final triumph.
Melin A-Frame Hydro Hat
Melin’s hat will be worn by Phil in 2020 is basically the only headwear packed with serious technology: a water-resistant exterior, and sweat-wicking interior lining, as well as Thermoflex snapback closure, and an anti-microbial sweatband.
Bobby Headcovers
Fresh, creative headcovers made of premium leather that’s both water and stain-resistant.
TRUE Linkswear Shoes
The all-new TRUE Linkswear line goes from slip-ons to weather battling shoes including knit materials to keep you comfy and dry.
MacKenzie Walker Golf Bags
The design is simple and classic, that’s the beauty of them. Made from high-quality materials including fine leather they are the perfect walking bag.
FlightScope MEVO+
This was the buzz product before the show started and judging by the people lined up to try it out the buzz was real. As of now, it is the most affordable radar launch monitor to offer ball and club data to the consumer.
Bettinardi HLX 3.0 Wedges
These wedges looked great with the iconic Bettinardi Honeycomb milling pattern on the back and offered in a satin chrome or black finish. The sole is milled into its final shape and the overall shape is more rounded but with a straighter leading edge. Forged out of soft carbon steel, these should offer a great solid feel with great responsiveness.
Swannies Golf “Goat” polo
Hailing from the northern state of Minnesota, this polo is creative in its design along with being subtle. Swannies Golf is making clothing that you can wear to the office and then still take out to the course for a twilight nine. Made from REPREVE polyester, the polo will keep you dry and cool in even the hot northern summers. The dancing pattern of goats, tigers, and trophies is a nod to one of the greatest to ever play the game.

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.

Yeah we’re gonna need a review on that Mevo+. I’ve been complaining about a $2k price-point for years.

Sorry the high-end golf technology companies of the world don’t cater to the lower end of the market. Build a product for sale at your price point or spend more money.
Always easier to complain

I’m surprised good tech doesn’t drop in price year after year like other electronics. Computers, televisions, tablets, etc… They all plummet in price and the newest one has a little more to offer. But these high end rigs just never drop a significant amount or ever become affordable.
