GolfWRX Radio

It's a short one this week, but reviewing the new-er Wilson Staff Model wedge and the Bushnell Wingman GPS and speaker. The Staff Model is a solid forged wedge that offers good feel, spin, and turf interaction for a slightly lower price. The Bushnell Wingman is a golf GPS and a bluetooth speaker in one. It has a TON of golf stuff built into it, but can also be used off the course to listen to your favorite tracks!

There are life and game-altering moments that occur in one's existence, and after 43 years in the game of golf, I'm witnessing the launch monitor's era and I welcome the change with open arms. The most important thing for my job is my student's happiness; they improve their swings, they stripe the ball more solidly more often, they are happier, they find the equipment that suits them. Moreover, improve the consistency and feel even more of their strike. They are even more comfortable. For me, it's essential to have both.

After a busy week in professional golf on multiple tours, this episode has a lot to cover, and host Ryan Barath does his best to break it all down - with some golf ranting along the way. There was the WGC Match Play along with the opposite-field event on the PGA tour, and then the Kia Classic on the LPGA Tour where Inbee Park went wire to wire and won by five shots. Come for the golf takes, and stay for the final segment where Ryan talks fairway woods, shafts, and how to build the best combo for you.

GolfWRX's list of the best fairways and hybrids for 2021 is out and being talked about all over. Ryan Barath and Brian Knudson discuss what made the list and some surprises that missed. These lists were created by data from the best fitters from the USA and Canada.

TaylorMade's new SIM2 Max and SIM2 Max OS irons are meant to make the game easy and fun, but they both offer solid sound and feel. Miura is going to make a splash in the game improvement with their PI-401 iron. Really solid performance with a great feel that you would expect from Miura. All-Fit is a new universal shaft system that allows you to use any shaft in any driver head. They have a few limitations, but overall a great way to tinker.

Whether in a tournament or a friendly round of golf looking at the hole is simply not enough you must see the golf ball roll in on the side of the hole or must role in on. At the speed you want to see it roll in on, to give you permission to enter the hole. Permission to enter. Not permission to approach the hole.

After a windy finish at the Honda Classic on the PGA Tour, host Ryan Barath dives into ways you can adjust your equipment and strategy to cope with conditions to play your best golf. The final segment of the show covers wedges and types of wedges fittings; from simple online questionnaires all the way to one on one bespoke fittings sessions the discussion covers that and everything in between to help you solve your short game problems.

Shep Rose of Bravo's "Southern Charm" talks about his family's golf history and the ups and downs of being a reality TV personality. Also features Hazel Clark of the Bermuda Tourism Authority.

GolfWRX has published their Best Driver of 2021 list and it has many people talking. This list was created by data from top fitters around the country, as well as some international fitters, who are fitting players every single day. Ryan and Brian talk about the drivers in each category and even give some personal thoughts on what they have hit this year.

Tour Edge's new Exotics C721 wood line could be some of the best bang for the buck clubs out there. The driver is long and the sound and shape are much improved over last year. The fairways are easy to hit off the turf and provide a mid/high launch. The hybrid is easy to work the ball with only a little draw bias in it. I give my 5 minutes on the famous Kirkland wedges, they are pretty solid for $160.

Even Tour professionals at the highest level fall prey to a defective persecution mindset. Scaring into paying attention to perceived swing flaws, distracting for the true task at hand. Which would other would otherwise fix their swing 100x faster permanently. Dive in with us in this awesome episode.

Host Ryan Barath breaks down The Players final round and brings together the target golf ideology of TPC Sawgrass to you and your game, and how picking a target properly can help you score better. Also, after being sucked into the popular Netflix show F1 Driver to survive, the discussion turns to how golf could do a better job profiling players to create more interest in the sport on TV.

Irish Ambassador to the United States Dan Mulhall joins host Michael Williams to talk all things Irish in advance of St. Patrick's Day. Also features Andy McMahon of the award-winning Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Club.

First holes of the year have been played and things went well. Mizuno's M-Craft putter line is solid and very responsive. Callaway's new Chrome Soft X LS is low spinning and surprisingly forgiving off the tee. Srixon's new Z Star is a great, soft feeling ball that offers a lot of greenside spin and control. The MySIM2 custom driver I ordered came in and looks AWESOME! I went fully murdered out, but you can go as crazy as you want with colors!

So thankful to have this incredible ally to demonstrate and display the human body's natural way of moving. To deliver awesome power and solid accuracy in what can be in a manner that is very much easy to do. This podcast is a doozy, it is a must-listen for so many reasons.
