‘My LPGA inspired bag’ – GolfWRXers react

Published

In our forums, our members have been reacting to WRXer ‘Barony19’, who has got himself an LPGA inspired WITB that is working wonders for his game.

Barony19 kicks off the thread, saying:

“Being a bit bored, I started looking around and realized my numbers look a lot closer to an LPGA Tour player than a PGA, so I took a look at their set makeups and decided to put something together that was similar based on what I already had laying around and what I could get my hands on. (Not so easy right now, it turns out).

Played a few times and have to say what a joy it is to hit soft, high shots into tight pins from decent distances. One par 3 today stuck out—185ish to the flag. Pin tucked tight to the right side on a shallow collar of green behind a bunker.

With a 5 iron, I’d either have to bail left to where the green was deeper or shoot at the pin and accept the ball either rolling through the back or coming up short in the trap. Instead, it was an easy swing with the 5 hybrid and a high, soft fade to 10 feet. (Missed the putt, though, haha).

Anyone else doing similar? I have to admit. It was hard to park the ego, but the results don’t lie.”

And our members have been very interested in the strategy and have been giving their views on the experiment 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.

NoTalentLefty: “Doing something similar for a few years now. Using hybrids 3 thru 6. Carrying a weaker 3 wood at 16 degrees. I agree with the OP; if your swing speeds are closer to the LPGA, you can learn a lot more from them about equipment than the PGA Tour.”
wam78: “I put a 7 wood in the bag this year, and it’s been nothing short of spectacular for my game. That’s as far as I’ve got, though…haha. I freaking love hitting long irons.”
Cactus Jack: “I’m a high swing speed player but have taken a similar approach. Currently, I play 4 wood, 7 wood, 4 hybrid, and max forgiveness 5 iron. Playing a 4 wood allows me to keep an extra wedge in the bag, and the 7 wood is the best addition I’ve ever made.”
JLo_73: “Something similar with my lowest lofted iron being a 6 iron. Granted 585 set, so 6 iron is at 28 degrees. For years, I hated hybrids, but my 816/818 duo has changed my mind. I got to a point where I was tired of looking down at an iron that looked like it had no loft, which translated to no confidence.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
