The GolfWRX forums exist so golfers have access to the latest equipment releases, hottest discussions, real equipment reviews, best instruction, new technologies and everything golf you can imagine. So if you love golf, the GolfWRX forums are your sanctuary.

In the From the Forums weekly feature, we bring you the hottest, most buzz-worthy topics from our forums for your convenience. I’ll be your trusty tour guide to navigate the latest buzz. Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.

Your favorite Scotty Cameron…ever!

Simple enough question. Numerous possibilities. Plenty of passion. An excellent thread in theory turns out very well in practice as mattd1206 asks for WRXers favorite Scotty Cameron models. Check it out if you’re a sucker for Scotty.

See the thread.

Forged + forgiveness + beauty?

Different golfers. Different handicaps. Different wants and needs in a golf club. Mfm22 is looking for a forged iron that offers a measure of forgiveness and is aesthetically pleasing? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and forgiveness in a forged iron is highly subjective, so this is an interesting thread to peruse.

See the thread.

How common is using fewer than 14 clubs?

14 clubs. If you were just coming to the game of golf, you’d think that was a lot, wouldn’t you? How many weapons could you get by with if you had to? Five? Six? Spartan6910 poses the question to the forum faithful: Do any of you carry fewer than 14 clubs (and why)?

See the thread.

Jack Nicklaus’ Rolex

(Photo credit: Hodinkee)

Fantastic stuff here as the Golden Bear tells the story of a Rolex (the only watch he’s ever owned!) that he’s worn since the 1960s. Ebrasmus21 spotted the video on Hodinkee and shared it with the community. An absolute must watch, and the forum chatter is top-notch as well.

See the thread.

Peeping PGA Tour tax documents

Ever wondered what the PGA Tour’s (non-profit organization that it is) Form 990 looks like? Ebrasmus21 (again!) dug it up. And while the form itself is interesting, it’s the five pages of hot takes from GolfWRX members that are worth your time. Interesting stuff.

See the thread.

I hate looking at Scotty putters cause they are just bling for suckers who think more expensive is better performance. It’s only for status show and copying the pros who they love.

I hear all the time about Scotty Cameron putters nothing more than copies of Ping Anser model. That may be true but Ping putters I believe haven’t been up to standards since years ago. I currently have 2 Newports one being a Buttonback which I have always wanted and got one a year ago. Ping putters no longer have that clean look. Scotty Camerons although pricy hopefully will stay true to the classic look just like Jacks Rolex

  Yes, the ‘look’ of a putter is paramount. Personally, I still use the Titleist Bullseye putter and you can’t get any more basic than that. Since my impact point is consistent, I don’t need the superfluous heel-toe weighting.
  If you need a heel-toe weighted putter that indicates you have a sloppy impact point, e.i. you are clumsy and no amount of fancy putter design will rescue you from your sloppiness…. not even a Scotty…. which is more for show than performance.

  “…that clean look….”? What about all that silly comical engraving all over the Scotty sole and back and painted in multi-colors? That’s gotta be done for childish clowns who want to show off their new garish status toy.

Re “interesting thread to peruse” on forged irons. Here is the essence of the highly informative discourse:
• Old or New   –  I’m using Mizuno MX 23’s & honestly they are hard to beat –
Feel wise they are good – I’m sure there is better but  the forgiving part of the equation is important
• I really don’t want anything larger than the 23’s .. Feel / sound is very important for me
dull thud / soft marshmallow  is my preferred
• 2011 callaway legacy black… why on earth they never made these for the US market it beyind me …  they have very little offset, plenty of bounce and they are ENDO forged …  marshmellows galore
• I can’t remember the exact size of the 23, but the Srixon 545 is a pretty legit contender. Little bigger, but very little offset.
• I was going to suggest Srixon 545 (slight bias) or Callaway Apex. Ap2 can get thrown in there, too.
• Epon
• Nike 2014 Pro Combo’s
• AP2’s
• Love my AP2s.  Can’t believe how forgiving they are when I don’t hit it pure.
• Never played the MX23’s but have played numerous other Mizuno blade models – 23’s are supposedly great clubs from past reviews!
• I tried ap1’s a while ago  good distance , feel  eh!  but they are cast  , Srixons that I have tried have pretty wide soles .
The mizuno 850’s do seem like the best / closest  [ from 23’s ]  but that boron ??
• 850 forged are beautiful in the bag. Honestly i get complimented on them on a lot when i play with different guys. They look even better with a few dings
Also quite forgiving. Longer than normal blade length and i hit them higher than i thought i would
• MP55.  JDM only but they can be purchased via a the interwebs.
• I’ve played the MX23s, then the MX300’s and now have the MPH5’s in the bag. They may fit the bill for you.
• I am like a broken clock.
Macgregor vfoil 1025m, or mc. (Blades or blades/CB blended)
Awesome clubs.
• Apex Pro, Cally Forged 2013, Apex Forged, Apex MB (more forgiving than they look)
•Nike VR Pro Combo
• Bridgestone J15 CB
Cobra Fly-Z+ Forged

Ah, the sharing of club-love experiences and pride. It’s a great game!

I have a fake Scotty and it performs well. I think it’s made from die-cast zinc and I feel no balance nor impact differences from a real Scotty. It cost $60.

  Me too, and nobody suspects the difference and if they do I tell them. There is no performance difference between the Scotty and my copy. The only thing they can be proud of is they paid $300 more than I did just for the status and ego boost.

  That’s not a fake ‘Scotty’, it’s a SCUTTY. Look again and you will see the ‘U’ almost an ‘O’.

    I got a SCUTTY too and it’s perfect. Sets up good, swings flat, good balance, sweet hits, and a lot lot cheaper than the real thing.

      Where can I find a Scutty? I don’t see any on eBay.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

Gianni Magliocco

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:

“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.

Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”

And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.

Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”

Have I just found the holy grail with this hybrid? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing a recent find by one WRXer. ‘Speeder717’ has just got his hands on an Adams Idea Pro hybrid with a Midas shaft and V55 grip, and has documented his find in the forums saying:

“There’s just something about old tour gear that still hits different for a lot of us who’ve been around WRX forever. Before every tour setup was posted on Instagram five minutes after a round, you had to dig for this stuff. You’d spend hours going through used bins at the local range, scrolling classified ads, or checking Gypsy Golf hoping some random listing would turn out to be something special.

That’s what made the hunt fun.

And when it comes to players with recognizable gear, Bernhard Langer has always been near the top of the list. His bag has barely changed in years. The putter is untouchable. The G400 somehow refuses to leave. And then there are the Adams Idea Pro hybrids with the Midas shafts and V55 grips that instantly make longtime gear guys stop scrolling.

I was lucky enough to grab one off eBay recently, and the more I looked at it, the more things started lining up with Langer. The build, the details, the overall wear… it just has that look. If you’ve followed his setup over the years, you start comparing tiny details from old WITB photos, looking at grip setups, lead tape placement, wear patterns, all trying to connect the dots.

Maybe it’s a legit gamer, maybe it’s just built exactly like one. Either way, that’s almost beside the point.

For a lot of us older WRXers, this is the stuff that keeps the hobby fun. The stories, the searching, the possibility that a random club sitting in a listing somewhere might actually have some history behind it. That feeling never really goes away.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and reactions in our forum.

Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

kwxsports: “I still play a couple of those hybrids. Cool find.”
EastpointeCC: “If the wear pattern is the size of a dime and there’s no idiot marks. Could be his.”

Why I still love my 20-year-old irons – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a post from a WRXer who still can’t get enough of his 20-year-old irons. ‘Kennapsi’ has been unable to replace his Callaway X-forged irons, and kicks off the conversation saying:

“I just can’t find a better set of irons than my 20-year-old Callaway X-forged irons. Boy have I tried…. T100, iblade, Taylormade… the list goes on!!! I somehow feel a guilt and just want to spend money on a new set…

I can’t even blame the groove rule and say they are non conforming as that rule has expired in the UK now… I play county events and nobody ever mentioned it anyway…To make it worse, can you see any similarities between Miura TC 201 and X-forged 2007?

Do I need help, or should I just play them?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the matter 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.

BowMain42: “Coming from a guy that refuses to give up his MP-60’s (when he’s not playing stuff even older), I’d say don’t worry about it. Then again, the WRXer in me says ‘replace them anyway just because'”
iNeedMoreGolf: “My X forged 18 mb/cb are that way for me. The closest thing I think I’ve come across is P7MC by TaylorMade.”
jplroper: “When something works, just run with it.”
