PGA Value Guide offering extra incentive to trade in your clubs
The PGA Value Guide is offering golfers an extra incentive to trade in their golf clubs. During the month of October, the company is running a “Fall Trade-In Blitz” that will give golfers an extra 20 percent on the value of their existing clubs toward to purchase of new clubs.
“Today’s high performance drivers, fairway woods, irons and putters are generating a great return on investment in-trade,” said Doug Smith, PGA Value Guide vice president of business development. “Fall is the perfect time for golfers to trade in their existing clubs to help offset the cost of new golf club innovations hitting the market.”
The first step is to visit the PGA Value Guide’s website, which shows golfers the value of their club or clubs (including the extra 20 percent) and allows them to print a free shipping label. When the clubs are received by the company, golfers will receive credit for their trade-in, which they can use to purchase new clubs from their choice of more than 5,000 PGA Professional-staffed facilities in the PGA Trade-In Network.
Golfers can also choose to receive cash for their trade-in.

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.”

They’ll give me $146 for a “used” M2 driver without even knowing how used it is. Not only that, they list the “resale” value of the club at $304. So you’re going to take my $146 trade in and make $158 on it while forcing me to spend the $146 I receive on merchandise that you sell instead of giving me cash? The $146 trade in money represents the “high” value for the trade in while the cheapest used M2 I could find on Ebay is $229, with most going for closer to $300.
Hurry guys, trade in your perfectly good gear for store credit you are forced to spend on overpriced gear.

So now used clubs are worth 20% more than before?
Don’t trade them unless all else fails and you just have to have that small trade in value. I would suggest you donate your clubs to youth or another golfer. I played the other day and this guy didn’t have a fairway wood. I gave him one of my old clubs that had a trade in value of $35. Used clubs have little value, what does that tell you? The values in the guide are going to be very low so they can mark them up a little and try to sell them. When golfers are not buying new fixed priced clubs (can’t mark them down) values of used clubs might go up to entice you to buy. The real problem is there isn’t competitive pricing between retailers of new clubs. Retailers are not allowed to reduce or have competitive pricing on new clubs.

I know for sure that Ping is very strict to sell their new stuff no more and no less than what they want for but TM doesn’t give a crap as their clubs were heavily discounted months after release in the past (but not now).

The PGA Value Guide totally disregards prices on auction sites and classified Craigslist sites and employs desperate crackheads who want to sell stuff quick to get cash for their next fix to value to their clubs.

In the post it mentions more than 5000 places the credit can be used. Does anyone have a site where I can find a list of these stores?

Open the ‘Research’ Tab. At the bottom of the page you can find a link to the list of places to use your Trade in certificate.

I don’t pay any attention to this sham of a guide . They low ball you so you will just buy a new set. Go to Ebay find some thing you like or sell something that you can decide if you want to give it away or stick to your guns on the price.

Wow, what next on WRX, informercials for Go Dadddy and the Warrior hybrid? Shameless advertisement as a pseudo article. Surprised that it wasn’t given 5 stars.
