Today from the Forums: “WITB – Wives’ Edition”
Today from the Forums takes us into the bags of the wives of WRXers. WRX member, Yuck, began the discussion and gave us some great insight into the clubs that his wife currently plays:
“My wife is an avid golfer. She started playing about 35 years ago when we were dating. Once the kids were grown, she got better. 5 club championships in the last 10 years at 3 different clubs. She is now in her “early 60’s” and has lost a bit of speed, so she finally replaced a very old set a couple of years ago. She plays men’s senior shafts on all except her three iron, which is a project x 6.0. ( go figure??). She does beat me gross on not so rare occasions. She still shoots upper 70’s on good days.
Here is her WITB for what it’s worth.
- 915 D2 12 degree redboard 60g ( I talked her into giving up her 10.5 degree 975 D driver a few years back) Her Driver speed is down to the high 70’s these days.
- Callaway X 3,5,7 woods, Fujikura Banzai 65g A flex
- Bridgestone Air muscle 3 iron, project X 6.0 ( stolen from my bag a dozen years ago) she calls it her “Tree iron” for hitting low bullets under branches.
- PXG 25 & 28-degree hybrids KBS TGI 60g graphite. A flex
- 7-GW PXG 0311 P, Steelfiber 70i. A flex
- 20-year-old Michela sand wedge. ( she won’t replace this one)
- Highway 101 number 7 style putter. She is a much better putter than me.”
Yuck asks fellow members if any other WRXers’ wife uses “not so generic clubs” and our members divulge the clubs their partners are using in this “WITB – Wives’ Edition.”
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.
third-times-a-charm: Quite a few of the ladies at the club have neat bags and are quirky about their selection. I’ve seen PXG stuff and even CF16’s (not counting our LPGA members bags) and lots of ‘mens’ clubs with A/L shafts, but the majority is a mix of old SGI stuff and ‘made for women’ stuff from PING and Cleveland from the early 2000s. My wife is one of the most modern and interesting I’ve seen IMO, mostly from my being on here and playing ‘personal clubfitter’ for her.
She has:
- Mizuno ST190 10.5 Driver / Fujikura Pro XLR8 L Flex Shaft 43″ (We just moved to this from the JPX900 440cc driver, and she gained almost 20 yds)
- Mizuno JPX900 3-wood / Fujikura Pro XLR8 L Flex Shaft 42″ (She won’t let this go, it’s her ‘magic’ 3 wood)
- Mizuno JPX900 4H and 5H / Fujikura Pro L Flex Shafts
- Nike Vapor Speed 6-PW (She cycles the 5i in and out of the bag with her 5h depending on conditions, she used to play both of them, but I made her take one out as to focus on being good with just one of them)
- Cleveland CBX 52 and 56 Wedges with KBS Tour Wedge shafts (She will be switching these out to the Callaway MD5 JAWS wedges w/ Catalyst 6.0 Mens graphite shafts as soon as I can find a deal on them)
- PING G Le Oslo Putter
- Bridgestone E6 Lady balls
- Nike Sport Lite II bag (she walks 9 holes by herself sometimes)
….and she shot her first 95 again (gross) last weekend after our first kid earlier this year.”
player12: “My wife started playing when she retired at age 48…former college bb coach, can shoot the heck out of free throws/3 pt range; but a sport such as golf was quite foreign initially. She started with my old TM MCG 5-PW and TM woods re shafted for her length and SW. Started at 30hc index..stuck with it (never thought she would). shes now a 14.5 index and moved on to:
- Callaway Fusion 13.5 45.5 Recoil 450 F2
- Callaway X2Hot 15 43 Aldila ATX 55 SR flex
- 3,4,5 Callaway 2018 Big Bertha Hybrids Recoil ES 460 F2 (1* lie up)
- Callaway 6-AW 2018 Big Bertha Irons Recoil ES 460 F2 (1* Lie up)
- Callaway Mack 3 54 (bent to 55) and 58 (both 1/2 in long)
- Odyssey 2-ball Putter (won in a giveaway and won’t part with it)
- Callaway Supersoft, Bridgestone E6, and she also likes Kirklands
A million shirts, shorts, skirts and pants and more shoes than I can count..and most of all, a whole large box of TPC Players caps.”
ChipNRun: My wife uses Adams Idea – Petite boxed set, which she got fitted for in 2014. She’s only 4-foot-9, so the female player’s rep at Golf Galaxy made three coordination calls with the factory in Ft. Worth regarding the fitting. For one thing, Adams was able to flatten lie slightly on irons, and on long-hosel hybrids too.
Adams sent her clubs “grips in the box” to GG so the rep could do a final fitting. Good move, she needed another half-inch off each shaft for a good fit.
Club mix:
- 12°
Driver(she uses 3W off, even hits her 5W longer. She leaves driver at home. I may have to contact Maltby/GolfWorks for cure. Their L-Tech model has a 15° driver with some extra-light shafts). - 3-5-7W (45-gram Idea shafts)
- 5, 6 Hy (50-gram Idea shafts)
- 7i-SW (50-gram Idea shafts)
- Adams Yes! C-Groove putter.
- Callaway Extra Lite 4.0 carry bag | Footjoy golf shoes | Pinnacle Soft golf balls | Assorted gloves.”
wchahn: “Here’s my wife’s set up – she was fit at Club Champion
- Callaway Rogue Driver 12.5 – Grand Bassara shaft
- Callaway Rogue 4 wood – Grand Bassara shaft
- Callaway Rogue hybrids 19, 22 – Fujikura Vista Pro shafts
- Callaway Rogue Pro 5-GW – Fujikura Vista Pro
- Vega 54 wedge
- Cleveland 56 sand wedge
- PXG Brandon putter
She tried a bunch of super GI irons and hated them but loves her Rogue Pros.”

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.”

What is that black and purple Taylormade putter pictured? My wife would love that. How do I get one for her?

I recognize that we’re in the minority here but there are a few of us women who read the forum, too, me being one of them. So I’ll speak for myself. Top to bottom my bag, which, by the way, is a very pretty Sun Mountain bag mounted on a Clicgear pushcart, looks like this—Srixon Z765 11 deg driver with Fubuki Z 60g reg shaft, Sonartec SS-07 16 deg 4 wood with Oban Devotion 65g firm shaft, Wilson Fybrid 19.5 deg 5 wood with Oban Devotion 65g firm shaft, Ping I20 23 deg hybrid with Project X Black 75g firm shaft, Mizuno MP-18 SC irons 5-PW with NS Pro 950 GH reg shafts, Miura 1957 Series 51, 55, 59 deg wedges with NS Pro 950GH reg shafts, Ping Anser III putter. I took up the game when I was in my late 50’s and at 70 still play off a 5-ish hcp. And though I wouldn’t call myself a gearhead, exactly, I do take the game seriously and enjoy playing it with high quality equipment.

Thats a sweet set up! Im a big fan of the Ping-Mizuno-Miura combo.
Madeline Morgan
Feb 6, 2020 at 7:33 pm
Thanks. And you’re exactly right about the Mizuno/Miura thing. Both clean, simple, and elegant, both precisely forged, both impeccably finished. And as pure a strike as any clubs made.
