The most popular brand of irons of GolfWRX members
In our forums, our members have been getting involved in a survey to find out the brand of irons most commonly found in GolfWRX members’ bag. Just under 500 of our members have voted at this stage of the survey, and the findings show that over 20% of those who have partaken currently have Mizuno irons in the bag.
Our members have also been sharing the model of irons they currently play and why in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- forrester_fire: “Mizuno JPX 850 Forged. I’m looking to possibly change this year; the ZX 7, 921 Forged, MP-20 MMC, and HMB are all on my radar. As a ~12, I’ll probably end up in either the 921 or the HMB…not sure I have the consistency to play the MMC or ZX 7.”
- bear87: “Presently PXG but looking very hard at the new Callaway Apex Pro…”
- polarbear87: “PXG with a backup set of Ping i20s.”
- JermWRX: “Ping G710. The only brand of irons I’ve ever owned. First set was Zings. I’ve demoed lots of brands of irons over the years, but I always end up back at Ping.”

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.
