Wilson “Driver vs. Driver 2” judges announced (2018 PGA Show Demo Day)

Published

Driver vs. Driver, the driver-designing reality show that produced the Wilson Triton in 2016, is back for a second season with all new judges.

The judges this time around are Jeremy Roenick, a hockey legend and golf fanatic, Rick Shiels, a teaching professional, popular golf-equipment YouTuber and GolfWRX contributor, and Tim Clarke, Wilson Golf’s president. Melanie Collins will return as the host.

The show is set to air this fall, according to Wilson’s twitter account.

The “on-deck circle” for Wilson prototype driver testing

At the PGA Show Demo Day, we’re told they were shooting part of episode 3, and real golfers were hitting some of the prototype drivers that will be featured on season 2, then giving their feedback to show contestants and Wilson engineers.

Of course, all of the participants in this test had to sign a bevy of NDAs, and no photography was allowed during testing and/or filming. But we’ll look forward to seeing the coverage of the event this fall, and we’ll get in-hand photos as soon as legally possible.

Why didn’t Wilson just buy Taylormade when they had the chance? That would have solved all the problems!!!! And TM went for cheap! Wilson has money from the other sports making it for them. Dumb move. Really not very smart people working for their golf department

  Wilson is owned by a Finnish company and they don’t have nearly close to that much money. Plus, why? Wilson makes great products already. They just don’t have the marketing staff that TM has.

  I agree. There is no way that an amateur designer has the the knowledge to come up with a maximized design. Why din’t an amateur come up with the jail break technology? Wilson should have the top handful of designs work closer with their engineers earlier in the process. Maybe they can get something that is truly revolutionary.
  
  Shiels should be good to watch.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Buy here.

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

World Cup golf apparel

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.

FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes

Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.

Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker

Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.

Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls

The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.

It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

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, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
