Scor Golf adds new shaft options to its line

There’s three main things golfers should consider when buying a new wedge. The first two things, loft and sole type, are widely talked about by serious golfers. The third, choosing the right shaft, isn’t talked about so much.

According to Terry Koehler, president of Scor Golf, shafts are an important part of choosing the right wedge and are are often overlooked by golfers.

The latest wedge models from industry leaders Vokey and Cleveland have very similar stock shaft options — steel True Temper Dynamic Gold models that range from 127 to 132 grams. That weight range is fine if a golfer uses a similar-weighted shaft in their irons, Koehler says, but a problem can present itself when golfers are playing shafts in their irons that are substantially lighter than that.

The most talked about new irons for 2013 are TaylorMade’s RocketBladez, which come with two stock shaft options — a 65-gram graphite model and an 85-gram steel model. So if a golfer was in between a RocketBladez pitching wedge and a Vokey or Cleveland 50-degree wedge, not only would there be a 5-degree loft differential; there would also a 40-to-60 gram difference in shaft weight.

To help ease the transition from a short irons to wedges, Scor has introduced its “Genius” shafts — four new shaft models that are available in four different weights.

Scor’s lightest Genius shaft is made of graphite, and was designed in conjunction with UST Mamiya. It’s called “Genius 7,” is made with properties that are similar to the company’s ProForce iron shafts. It’s available in a-flex, regular and stiff and weights about 75 grams. The “Genius 9” is a 100-gram version of the Genius 7, and is available in regular, firm and firm+ flexes, which Koehler says plays like a “light X flex.”

The two other shafts options are made of steel, and were produced with the help of steel shaft maker KBS. The “Genius 10” was designed to be similar to the KBS Tour 90 shaft and weighs about 90 grams. The “Genius 12″ was made to be like the KBS Tour shaft and weighs about 120 grams. Both shafts are available in regular, firm and firm+ flexes.

All four of the Genius shafts have stiff tip sections that limiting ballooning on full shots, but softer mid sections that allow the shaft to bend on smaller swings, giving golfers more feel. Check out the video below for more info on Scor:

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

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.”
