But we’ve got your back.
Enter our giveaway, and you can be one of five lucky GolfWRXers to win the same shafts being used by some of the best players on the PGA Tour, courtesy of Aldila.
To enter, go to our forum giveaway thread and:

I’m a 31 year-old male and I turned my apartment living room into a driving range stall – GolfWRXers react
In our forums, our members have been reacting to a post from ‘GolferTodd’ who has turned their apartment living room into a driving range stall. ‘GolferTodd’ produced the following photo in our forums with the caption:
“To the exclusion of furniture. Bachelor life.”
And our members have been reacting to the post in our forums.
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.
- MtlJeff: “This is amazing……When i was 28 i lived in an apartment that had my winter tires in the kitchen, i only had one plate and 1 set of knives and forks, and i cooked pasta in a witches cauldron from 1835. And i still convinced a woman to marry me. So i am all for this. In fact this is way better than what i had to offer.”
- TiScape: “Love it Todd. Go Dodgers!!”
- imkirby34: “Based on the view out the window, it looks like you’re on the first floor, which is probably a good thing because I’d hate to live below you, even if you have an extremely shallow AoA. Haha.”
In our forums, our members have been discussing classic irons. WRXer ‘DonaldDunes’ has caught the vintage club bug, and wants to know other members’ favorite iron models that “have stood the test of time or were the top performers for their day.”
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.
- Maine Golfer: “I love a lot of clubs but ’69 Wilson Staff’s are an all time favorite. Easy to hit in relative terms and they look amazing.”
- Wilsonian: “No surprise from me, but the Wilson K-28 irons, specifically blades with the glide thru sole. I grew up playing Ram clubs, but got away from them as I got older. My return to vintage was with the Wilsons, and my first set of hickories were the Wilson Plus Success irons. You’ll try a lot of sets, but I think it’s a matter of what feels best in your hands, specifically your 7 iron which is the best indicator imo.”
- Hawkeye777: “Hogan Redlines. Macgregor Nicklaus Muirfield 20th. Wilson Staff Tour Blade. Those are mine, don’t play any of them these days (no real reason to) and didn’t really “collect” them. The Wilsons I played with for years.”
In our forums, our members have been discussing how much wear is too much wear when purchasing used irons. WRXer ‘con_mon2’ is interested in a used set of iron and kicks off the thread, asking:
“Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this! How much wear are you comfortable with?
I found a set of irons on eBay that I am very interested in buying, but they have a bit more wear than I’m comfortable with. I have attached a few pictures showing especially the wear on the sweet spot on the PW and 9 iron. Maybe you can convince me that I’m being too picky and I should just buy them? Or maybe I should be concerned about the wear? I’m not really sure. They are Ping i230s which came out in 2022 so they aren’t that old. And the seller had this to say about the condition: ‘Good: Normal wear for their age. Excellent playing condition but they have cosmetic wear on faces and soles. Sweetspot wear is visible.’
Beyond the cosmetic, I’d really like to know this: At what point do you start to worry about the grooves being so worn that they have a substantial effect on the shots you’re hitting?”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts in response.
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.
- rsballer10: “The term you are looking for is “browning” and these irons have some of that going on. They are completely playable, but I’d say they’ve reached their half-life.”
- Nessism: “Those heads are stainless steel. The “browning” that some people reference, is really the yellow shade of the nickel layer under the chrome. When forged carbon steel heads wear through the chrome, the “brown” is RUST. These heads will never rust. People applaud the old Ping irons as being “indestructible”. Those heads had no chrome. These heads, even if the chrome is beginning to wear through, on one head, are miles more durable than the older unplated “indestructible” Ping’s. And even further ahead of any forged club.”
- phizzy30: “Hard pass for me. I would rather get a new set of DTC irons and would be glad to spend the extra couple to few hundred.”

The Aldila’s Rogue Limited Edition 125 MSI would be an experience that I would probably never get to have otherwise. I love golf, along with everyone else on this website, and every time there is a chance to perform better you have to go after it. Given the opportunity to use one of Aldila’s top of the line shifts I would have to go with the Tour Silver 60 with a TR flex.

Just graduated from hickory shafts here in Australia – far from everything.
Would love to have a Aldila Rogue 125 MSI 70X in my R15.
Happy to pay the postage (steamboat or Fed-ex) if lucky enough to be moved into the modern age of Aldila Rogue.

I currently play the Rogue silver 60X and if I would win I’d like the rogue 125 TX in my 915 D2.

It would be a real treat to try out a Tour quality shaft, especially one that has been so successful so soon. I have never used anything other than a stock shaft in my driver. For me, I would like to try the TX 60.

I currently play the Adila RIP Alpha 70X I hadn’t found a shaft that yet performs as well for me. Always been an Adila fan looking to hopefully give this a try and replace my old shaft. I would choose the 70 X-Stiff.

I would love to try the 70S. I currently game the Fuji Fuel 60S, but have the Tour Blue 70S in my SLDR 3-wood and love it. I’d really like to find a great feeling shaft like the tour blue with a lower launch bias for the driver. I have experimented with the Diamana S+ 70S this year and have to dial down the loft to get a good piercing flight. This shaft would fit perfectly, I believe.

I am pretty sure I could out drive Bubba, score with the cart chicks and win mad skins at the Country Club if I could just win the Tour Silver 60 TS. Say good bye to my extra stiffy hickory shafts and say hello to my little Rogue light saber. I’m pretty sure it would look something like this on the first tee……https://youtu.be/3GJOVPjhXMY

I would like to try the 50 TX flex rogue 125 MSI. I used to own a small golf shop in huntington beach california. I remember re-shafting from dynamic gold x-100, EI-70 , taylor made bubble shaft!. I invested in a golf club company called Golfgear international until it went bankrupt. I learned a lot about modulus in golf shafting and how important it can be in shaft building. Although i stepped away from golf business for awhile now due to slow economics, I am still fascinated by the ever improving technology of golf industry especially in shaft R&D and Club head development. I would love to try the 50 TX flex and see how ultra light shaft can perform with all the technology under the hood.
2. Aldila rogue 50 TX
Thank you

I’ve struggled to find a shaft in the last 2 years that doesn’t spin too much after my voodoo xxpp7 shattered at the tip I’ve burnt through a ton and I want to try the best of the best. A rogue 125 70 tx

Would love to give this a try. I have been gaming a driver I got out of a wooden barrel 10 years ago. Everything in my bag has been updated except for my driver. My game has improved by leaps and bounds and I am finally at a point where I need a driver fit for me.
The 70 gram stiff would be ideal. I would most likely put it on a bio cell+ head.
