13 revealing photos from the Sanderson Farms Championship

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Miss. If you missed any of the photos, make sure to browse the links below:

While most of the world’s top players are in Shanghai for the WGC-HSBC Champions, the rest of the guys are down in Mississippi. It’s weeks like these that can be really important for less-accomplished PGA Tour players, because it doesn’t matter where you get a win, or against whom — since each one gets you into The Masters. And isn’t that really the ultimate goal?

But anyway, let’s reveal some photos from the Sanderson Farms Classic.

A putter prototype that doesn’t suck (air)

From the makers of the skateboard half-pipe putter, Biomech brings to you the vacuum cleaner upholstery prototype putter.

Here’s to hoping the putter doesn’t suck as much as a vacuum.

While we don’t know much about the prototype pictured above, you can read more about the technological concepts from Biomech here.

Mr. Beasley

Check out the meaning behind Rife’s new Mr. Beasley prototypes here. Spoiler alert: they’re not named after the “Mr. Beasley” character from Blondie and Dagwood (which I’ve never seen).

Auburn grad Patton Kizzire with cryptic “AU” stamping

AU? What is AU? Australian dollar? Astronomical unit? The elemental symbol for gold? Yeah that must be it — “AU” written in gold coloring must mean gold. Those Auburn grads can’t sneak one past Mr. Revealing Photos.

59ebfb08c3efac16bda3af33c97741b7Kizzire, the Auburn grad, really loves gold, huh? He even made a logo for the elemental symbol and put it on his golf bag. Those Auburn grads are a weird bunch.

Speaking of Auburn grads, Bo Knows Golf… and aquatic plaid pants

As one of, if not THE best athlete ever, Bo Jackson should never listen to anything I have to say… but that doesn’t make his pants any less ugly. You’re still No. 1 in our book though, Bo.

He also has an incredibly powerful golf swing.

Which should surprise no one.

A Super Troopers stamping

Littering and… littering and…

After raising $4.4 million via crowdfunding, the long-awaited Super Troopers 2 is becoming a reality. That’s great news for some, and completely meaningless for others. Continuing on…

Tour the Tour van

It’s always a treat when our Tour photographer snaps photos of inside the Tour vans, where all the equipment magic happens.

Some awesome Sanderson Farms tee markers

As shown on the sign above, the tee markers were painted by patients at the Batson Children’s Hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Take a look at the awesome results:

Cleveland drivers: Old vs. new

Cleveland now (from a few years ago, actually)…

Cleveland then.

Michael Bradley took to the range with the old Cleveland Classic Oil Hardened RC 69 persimmon driver. And word from our Tour photographer says he was striping it, consistently hitting 167 ball speed on the Trackman.

I wonder if younger guys such as Jordan Spieth or Jason Day would fair the same?

K.J. Choi’s jaw-dropping Miura Giken irons

Even his caddie is looking at them in awe like, “What the heck are these beauties?”

See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Miura Giken CB-1007 irons in our forums. Also, if you have a few extra minutes to kill, check out this video of how Miura forges its irons.

Bettinardi prototypes

It’s always a treat to see what Bettinardi prototypes pop up on Tour. These feature new finishes and logos.

SuperStroke’s new Pistol putter grips

From the photos, it appears SuperStroke has a new “Pistol GT 2.0” putter grip offered in at least two different colorways, with the company’s patented No Taper technology and counter-weight adjustability. They’re receiving early praise in the forums from our members.

Footjoy Classics Dry Premiere

Nothing better than white on white classics. If FootJoy still sold them at retail, I’d wear them not only on the course, but obnoxiously to dinners and other gatherings also. You can still find classics on the Internet if you do some digging through Ebay or the GolfWRX classifieds. Good luck in your search.

If not, you can always go with ICONs, which are the new age versions of classics.

Lean on me

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain. We all have sorrow. But just remember, I’ll always be here when you need someone to lean on for a photo gallery full of Scotty Camerons to make it all better.

I know that one day, I’ll need to lean on someone else for a gallery of flatstick fire. But that day is not today.

He played on the Hawaii Pacific University Men's Golf team and earned a Masters degree in Communications. He also played college golf at Rutgers University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

    How is no one talking about those Scotty Tour pics? Wow, they certainly brightened up my day. Thanks Greg (if that was you man)! For all the criticizers of what is and what is not, who cares guys! Remember this is for entertainment only. Stop being such nobs and just enjoy what WRX has presented to us.

    You do realize that is a photo of Al Green (Let’s Stay Together), and not Bill Withers, who
    does “Lean On Me”

    The Biomech putter is the greatest idea that actually works. If you need a cure from the yippies…..get your paws on one of these……NO $h!t!!!

    It is almost impossible to keep up with KJ’s equipment changes.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

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

Published

on

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.”
