Forum Thread of the Day: “In honor of the new ‘WITB Time Machine,’ what’s your WITB from 5 and 10 years ago?”

Published

on

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from WristySwing who has been enjoying our WITB Time Machine segment and has been interested to hear what was in fellow WRXers’ bags back in the day. Our members have been sharing the equipment they used both five and ten years ago, with some items remaining to this 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.

  • NRJyzr: “10 years ago: driver: SMT Encore 9*, AJ Tech ZTour 90 X -3 wood: Trimetal Plus 14*, DG-SL X100 – 2-PW: Mizuno MS-11 – wedges: Mizuno Pro 52*, Ram Troon Grind 58* -putter: Snake Eyes Viper Tour Sv1. 5 years ago: driver: Adams Fast 12 LS, Motore F1 75 S – 3w: a cast of several, maybe R11s, Aldila NV85 X – 2-PW: Ram TG-898, Precision 6.5 – wedges: Scratch 8620 53* and Ram 1982 Commemorative 58* – putter: Snake Eyes Viper Tour Sv1. Forgot to mention hdcp… I was about a 7 to 8 index in 2009, and I’m about a 7 to 8 at the end of 2019. I dropped to a 5-6 in 2012 and 2013, and have largely bounced between 6 and 8 over the last 11 years.
  • jkinger89: 10 Years Ago: Driver: Titleist 909D3 with stock VooDoo stiff, Fairway: Sonartec NP 99 15* with Alidila NV 75 stiff, Irons: Taylormade 2009 Tour Preferred 3-PW with Dynamic Gold S300, Wedges: Taylormade RAC Black TP 52-56-60 with stock shafts S300’s?, Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2 Mil Spec or Odyssey Rossie II (I switched every couple rounds back then). 5 Years Ago: Driver: Nike VRS Tour Covert with Fujikura Tour Spec 60 x-stiff, Fairway: Nike Covert with Matrix HD6 stiff, Irons: Titleist 712 mb with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S300?, Wedges: Vokey SM4 52-56-60 with stock S300 , Putter: Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2 Mil Spec or Scotty Cameron Futura X. My handicap has improved over the last few years. Hover around scratch depending on the streak. But that’s from playing smarter, not really any better.
  • kmay_: ” My bag from when I was around 15 stayed the same right thru till the last couple of years when I’ve gotten serious about the game. It was as follows..TM R580 10.5 with a 35g reg flex grafalloy shaft, Goliath 3 wood 15* stock shaft, TNT Gold irons 3-PW, 60* Powerbilt Walmart model wedge, Bullseye flange putter. And yes my play is greatly improved but much more a result of practice and playing often!
  • Matty01984: “This is me from 5 years ago: Driver – 913D3, Fairway Wood – 910F, Irons – 712U 3 iron & 714AP2 4 to PW, Wedges – SM5 52, 56 and 60, Putter – Scotty GoLo S5. No pictures from 10 years ago but that would have been: Driver – 909D3, Fairway Wood – 904F (with a steel X100 shaft…what was I thinking), Irons – Original AP2, Wedges – Vokey’s of some kind but genuinely not sure, Putter – Scotty Select Newport 1.5.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

on

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
