Gifts for the golfer looking to improve
The holidays are upon us again, GolfWRX members, so let the daydreaming begin, as we fill our lists with the golf gear we want this holiday season.
As is true every year, the gifts in the Holiday Gift Guide ideas will suit any budget, and each item was hand-picked by our staff. We’re again presenting our guide as a series as we did in years past, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to improve,” “the stylish golfer,” and “the big spender.”
Here are our best recommendations for the golfer looking to improve in your life.
Club fitting at 2nd Swing

Looking to get fit for a set of golf clubs? Check out our friends at 2nd Swing. Rated as one of the top club-fitting locations in America, 2nd Swing will help you find that perfect, fine-tuned option for your bag, with options ranging from premium tour van fittings, walk-ins, and online fittings.
SuperStroke alignment sticks

Take the classic driveway-style stake and make it SuperStroke. Arguably one of the most essential and broadly used training aids (check out any PGA Tour range), if you’re not practicing with an alignment stick for reference, you’re making a mistake and could be engraining bad habits.
Price: $24.99
GolfForever Swing Trainer

The golf training system major champion Scottie Scheffler trusts to compete and win on the PGA Tour, the GolfForever Swing Trainer doubles as an at-home golf workout and swing-weight optimized heavy warmup club in design to help dramatically improve mobility, strength, and golf swing movement patterns. Designed for all skill levels, beginners to experienced players can utilize the GolfForever Swing Trainer to enhance their balance, precision, and control.
Price: $139.99
SuperSpeed Swing Training System

So you want to hit that ball farther? OK. Well, you can swing harder and see what happens (probably not great things for shot dispersion or body), or you can gather the requisite tools and put a plan in place to smash soaring drives. At the professional and amateur levels, speed is the name of the game in golf these days, and SuperSpeed is the standard for training. Give the gift of speed this holiday (or get it for yourself!) with the #1 overspeed training system in golf. SuperSpeed is used by over 700 tour players, and you’ve no doubt seen their signature sticks in many of our tour photos.
Price: $113.99
The Connector by Sure Golf

The viral training aid of 2025, AKA “The one Rory McIlroy was using at the Hero India Championship.”
Price: $109.99
StrackaLine yardage book



StrackaLine’s products, broadly, are designed to give golfers essential information to play better golf. Precise yardages, hole layouts, and most importantly, signature green mapping that shows you how any putt will break. We like giving the StrackaLine yardage book of a golfer’s home course as a gift.

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.
