2021 GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Gearhead
It’s that time of year again, GolfWRX members, the moment we start filling our wish lists with the golf gear we want this holiday season.
The GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide was created to ensure that our readers give (and hopefully receive) the very best golf gifts on the planet. These gift ideas will suit any budget, and each item was hand-picked by our staff.
In an effort to provide more value and tailored recommendations, we’re presenting our guide as a series this year, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to get better,” and “the big spender.”
You know the gearhead by his/her tired eyes from scouring the GolfWRX forums late into the night and his penchant for bringing two bags to the course—the gamer set and a bag full of demo clubs and shafts.
Here are our best recommendations for “the gearhead” in your life.
TaylorMade MySIM2 – $629.99

What’s better than a TaylorMade SIM2 (top 5 in GolfWRX’s Members Choice)? How about one in custom colors? Five different options for personalization including the aluminum ring, topline paint, and more.
1withGolf bag – Varies

What gearhead wouldn’t want — nay, need — a custom golf bag? And when it comes to the combination of customization and quality, we can’t recommend 1withGolf enough.
A personalized and customized golf bag makes for a super cool, special, and memorable holiday gift. 1withGolf has over 135 color combinations for you to choose from and has the fastest turnaround in the industry.
Besides custom bags, their Xpress 3.5, Xpress 4.0, Xpress 14-way stand bags, and Z-100 15-way cart bags are all lightweight and of great quality with sleek design. They are full of consumer-friendly features to provide extra comfort on the course.
Cobra King GrandSport-35 – $349.99

What screams gearhead in 2021 more than “3D printed putter?” Cobra’s King GrandSport-35 is 3D printed and folds in Sik’s DLT face to complete this ingredient-intensive gearhead stew. Yum!
Rapsodo MLM – $499.99

Rapsodo’s MLM is the only launch monitor that uses the power of your iPhone or iPad to provide immediate feedback on launch data, instant video replay and active shot trace. Recognized by industry leaders for its pro-level accuracy for shot distance, ball speed, club speed, shot shape, smash factor, launch angle, and launch direction, the MLM is uniquely positioned and priced and merits a long look as you weigh your launch monitor options.
Fujikura Ventus – $350

Winner of GolfWRX’s Member Choice for best shaft and one of the most-played wood shafts on the PGA Tour, the Fujikura Ventus hype train rolled on in 2021 — and for good reason: Velocore is no joke in terms of dispersion control, particularly on off-center hits. Black, Blue, and Red target three distinct ball flights and deliver on all three fronts.
Vokey WedgeWorks T Grind – $199

The T Grind is a Voke original, inspired by work with a former Titleist Brand Ambassador, fine-tuned by the master craftsman and Aaron Dill. The characteristics reflect the great hands of the inspiration; this is a low-bounce wedge with a narrow crescent surface. Unique from the L Grind, this wedge has a wider back flange, which creates unique playing characteristics and allows for a lower measured bounce, in addition to the narrow bounce surface.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
