The one club that’s changed your game? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing the one club that has changed their game. WRXer ‘Vater’ has a shortlist, but explained his winner saying:
“Going from a 2016 M2 with a Hzrdus shaft to a SIM Max with a Ventus red. Big increase in fairways, better launch, and ability to shape the shot.”
And our members have been sharing the club that’s made all the difference to them in our forum.
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.
- hammergolf: “Hands down, two years ago when I took out the 3H and put in a 7wd.”
- EastTNGolfer: “9 wood. Instead of hooking the hell out of a 4H or hitting a terrible 4iron, I can easily hit greens from 185-200 out. It’s like a damn cheat code.”
- cgasucks: “Putting a 52 deg Gap Wedge and taking out the Lob Wedge. Was sick and tired of making partial shots with my PW from 90-100 yards, so I took out my lob wedge and put in GW. So anything from 90-95 yards is an automatic full swing GW to me. I don’t miss my lob wedge one bit. I have all the loft I want by simply opening the face with my SW.”
- LeftyMatt24: “Playing the same ball round after round has helped my short game and distances the most. I settled on pro v but could probably get similar results if I played the same ball over and over again to know what to expect with the ball.”

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.
