10 most-read equipment stories on GolfWRX in 2024
It’s that time of year, GolfWRXers, when, in a reflective mood, we take a backward glance at the stories we published over the past 12 months.
With 2025 but a few sleeps away, we’re counting down the 10 most-read equipment stories of the year on GolfWRX, including our legendary in-hand WITBs.
Let’s get to the list.
10. The 3 most popular driver shafts used by the top-50 golfers
Interestingly, this Andrew Tursky joint from late 2023 saw plenty of interest throughout 2024. We’ll lean on AT to revise it in 2025!
9. Brooks Koepka WITB 2024 (May)
We hadn’t seen LIV golfer Brooks Koepka’s setup in a minute, and the audience was eager to get a look.

Thank you to all the GolfWRXers out there who read the front page, posted in the forums (and even the lurkers!), followed us on social media, listened to GolfWRX Radio, and watched our content on YouTube. We plan to make 2025 our best year yet, but we couldn’t do any of this without you. Many thanks and we wish you a wonderful holiday season!
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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
