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.
A MyJoy Buffet
An oldie but good (and still active), this one. Who doesn’t love a custom pair of MyJoys? This thread was originally started a couple of years ago, but it features six pages of superlative MyJoy creations. And really, it should feature a few more.
Check out the MyJoy extravaganza, and add your own examples.
The hardest course you’ve ever played?
Apologies if we’ve travelled this path before in FTF, but this thread is brand new and blowing up. Perhaps more surprising, it only took two replies to get to “Bethpage Black from the tips.” But really, it’s an awesome rundown of some truly formidable courses.
Check out the thread and add your most fearsome 18-hole adversary.
Best forged irons for a $300 budget
Raferalston (presumably not the Rucker Park legend/former NBAer, unless he’s really fallen on hard times) has $300 to spend on a set of forged irons. Obviously, he’s looking in the used iron space.
See what WRXers think the best blades you can pick up on the cheap are.
Is the 40-degree wedge coming?
Not to sound like a card-carrying member of the tin-foil hat brigade, but in an environment of strengthening lofts and expanding wedge options, we could see the following: 40-degree pitching wedges, creating the need for a three-wedge setup just to cover gaps.
Cornwall1888 begs the question in this thread.
Don’t roll back the ball…
…get rid of the driver(!) So says, TomLikesGolf. Here’s his bold suggestion: In order to player certain shorter, say “legacy,” courses of the world (Myopia Hunt, etc), don’t let players hit anything with lower loft than a 14-degree 3-wood.
And while that may sound quite insane, the idea of limited-flight balls, as recently discussed by the USGA’s Mike Davis, may be only a standard deviation less.
What do you think about Tom’s idea? Want to see what other WRXers said? See the thread.
