Arccos Golf giveaway
We have another great giveaway this week, and this time we’re featuring the top performance-tracking system in the game.

ABOUT ARCCOS GOLF:

Arccos works seamlessly with zero interruptions to your game. Simply attach the 14 sensors to the grip end of your club and pair just once to your iPhone.

Mitsubishi/Graphite Shafts giveaway
And another great giveaway.
Mitsubishi Rayon is looking for three GolfWRXers to test the new TENSEI CK Blue shaft in their drivers and report back the results.
The TENSEI™ CK Series Blue shaft modernizes Mitsubishi Rayon / Graphite Shaft’s classic, smooth “Blue” bend profile through the use of a multi-material design, including the Carbon-Kevlar (CK) weave in the butt section — further refining the shaft’s overall bend profile and improving feel.
HOW TO APPLY:
In the thread, provide answers to the following questions:
- What’s in your current bag?
- What is your current handicap?
- Where are you located (City, State, Country)?
- What driver (brand/model/loft) will you be installing this in?
- If selected, do you agree to participate in an ongoing Mitsubishi Rayon / Graphite Shaft TENSEI™ CK Blue review thread? We ask that you provide hi-res, quality photos, and provide a review of the shaft.
- Desired driver shaft weight and flex (reference product specification information for details)?
- Please include any tipping instructions and OEM adapter (if applicable).
- Please explain how you would approach testing the TENSEI™ CK Blue
That’s all you have to do. If you don’t take two minutes to enter these two giveaways, well, I guess you’re not the free stuff type.
Golf club you hated the most?
Here’s a great thread: wombat_vortex asks: “Anyone ever bought a new club and quickly started to hate it. For me it was SonarcTec wedges, just could never get the feel. Same with some of the Tour Edge drivers, just felt dead coming off the face. They both quickly went back to the golf shop from whence they came, receipt in hand.”
Check out the replies which include such luminaries as they “Alien golf driving iron and” the “Smt Solitare 2 Wood… worst feeling club I ever hit.”
The cult of Mizuno Forged Irons
Mizuno’s forged irons have a cult following. If you’ve made the most casual examination of golf equipment or taken the pulse of the enthusiast community, you’re aware of this fact.
It’s not surprising, then, that user DaRiz started a thread devoted to worshipping at the Church of Grain-Flow Forged.
DaRiz started things up with this post:
“Just bought some 57s on ebay for $118 shipped with no browning and original Miz GP grips still in good condition (STEAL) Also got a set of some near mint T11s for $65 (50/56/60, crazy). I hit them at the range today and it was like a breath of fresh air. I decided then and there, as I pured 4 iron after 4 iron, worked my 7 both ways, and made my PW scream the safe word.. I am only playing Mizuno MP irons for the rest of my life.”
Other enthusiasts followed suit with glowing tributes and shots of their Mizunos.
The vanity bag
Here’s a thread many WRXers can surely identify with.
MadGolfer76 started the discussion:
You all know what I am talking about. Maybe the gear in your bag is a higher quality than your swing (lol), or you want your foursome to be impressed with your new sticks that they’ve never heard of. That kind of deal.
So, who has/has had one?
