12 revealing photos from the Zurich Classic
We’ll get to the revealing photos this week from the Zurich Classic, but first…
Let me take a selfie #ZurichClassic.
Aside from embarrassing selfie shots, we have a great lineup of photos this week from the Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana, including Starbucks-inspired wedges. If you missed all the photos from this week, click here.
Let’s get to it.
These wedges should come with a warning label
Joe Affrunti’s Titleist SM5 wedges are covered in lead tape, and his 60-degree only has 4 degrees of bounce. Super heavy with no bounce? Don’t try this at home.
Heath Slocum switched into the AccuLock ACE Tech Deck putter
Let’s see if he can get the half-pipe hot this week at the Zurich Classic. Click here if you don’t get the reference.
This Titleist rep is wearing really obscure hockey socks
They show the logo of the Colorado Rockies, which were originally the Kansas City Scouts in the mid 70s before becoming the Colorado Rockies. The team moved to East Rutherford, N.J. in 1982 and became the New Jersey Devils. Thumbs up right back at you for learnin’ me something.
h/t Thrills for logo identification
Chesson Hadley’s wedge is inspirational
“Be somebody” is a reference to his shouting order earlier this year at the Valero Texas Open.
Jordan Spieth, a fellow ball-yeller, surely appreciated Hadley’s effort. I’m also fairly certain “Baby Huggie” stamped on his 52-degree Titleist SM5 wedge is a baby diaper reference, but is yet to be confirmed.
Can you spot why this is a 1-of-1 putter?
It’s Chez Reavie’s “Scotty Camero” Tour Only putter. It’s missing an “n” — just had to point that out.
As always, we keep people smiling with GolfWRX poker chips
If you see photographer Greg Moore at a tour event, be sure to say hello and ask for a poker chip.
Ben Crane getting ready to shoot a POV video with a tee shot
And hopefully there’s enough memory to capture his entire pre-shot routine.
Jason Gore (sort of) followed Ian Poulter’s lead
Instead of high-end luxury vehicles, Gore stamped references to a 1987 Dodge Colt Premier and a Nissan Datsun 210.
Nick Taylor’s University of Washington Huskies head cover is winking at you
Either that or he’s missing an eye. Is this one of those Sarah McLachlan soul-crushing SPCA commercials?
We spotted Adagio’s new earbud headphones on the range
But surely the sound quality is better if you actually remove the packaging.
How’s that box sound, man?
Blayne Barber’s new Starbucks wedges just went on every coffee lovers’ wish-list
They were stamped by Aaron Dill, the man responsible for most of the grinds and stampings you’ll see on Vokey wedges on the PGA Tour. Well done, Aaron; the caffeine-crazed golfers among us appreciate it.

Also, a nice observation here from chotston in our forums.
Willy Mac’s TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 Tour 3-wood looks like it’s unfamiliar with a head cover
Or maybe it got scraped up during a Kayak accident in Montana?

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions 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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
