CZ-Rob Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I am pretty new to MGS, but I immediately see a difference in the types of posts. With WRX the negative people really come out aggressively while the positive people rarely post anything. It makes it seem that only negative things are being said about a product or story. MGS members are more apt to post positive comments and there doesn't seem to be a fear that by doing so you will invite a storm of negativity down on you. The "troll" effect is much higher over there.

chisag Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 ... I wrote reviews on WRX many years ago. 2 officially for WRX and the others what I called Best Of PGA Show for every category. Since it was only what I thought was the Best of any category like driver, iron, hybrid, snacks, tees etc, of course they were glowing reviews because they were all The Best at the show. But sooooo many negative comments about being a shill, paid by the OEM's, being dishonest and even "you never even hit the club, just collected your payola" so I stopped posting them there. golfertrb, BIG STU, bens197 and 6 others 9 Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

While my herniated disc is doing much better, it is still not healed to where I could drive or even fly to Orlando. So I have not ruled out going to the show but how I feel the next few weeks will dictate my plans. The last thing I want to do is set back my winter even further. I was supposed to be in Phoenix Jan 1 and have pushed that back to a tentative Feb 1 but will postpone further if needed. So it doesn't look good for the show, but I have not ruled it out.

Cameron_Circle_T Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I have been a member over there for a little over 14 years. I posted a ton when I played a lot, maintained my industry connections, etc. The forum got huge and it certainly changed as all forums do when they get bigger. I've been a lurker here over the last seven years. I've played less golf and haven't felt the need to club ho as much. I enjoy the equipment tests (they're great to keep an eye on one year old equipment by looking at the prior year's results). The big thing - I really like how civil and circumspect this thread has been. It seems representative of the general vibe here. Hopefully I'll be around more as I move back to a climate that allows me to play more golf.

Tsecor Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Golf WRX is still very relevant in the industry and have their own niche or space in the industry. But every guy in the forums hits it 350 off the tee, talks down to anyone who plays blades (unless you are Rory or Tiger) and every poster is an expert in the field on every subject.... but the articles and equipment previews and reviews are great. Its just the forums that should be cleaned up from all the haters. MGS is totally different, especially with the way they test and change the industry. The ball review was unbelievable and im looking fwd to the driver review bc for the 1st time in 10 years, im buying a driver this spring. Maybe some irons too.....

TENBUCK Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I belong to several forums and Golf WRX. I've learned that some WRX guys are of a brash nature. Mostly I get long with them because I'm fairly passive. There are other forums THat really are nothing but a selling tool for the OEM. As some of my buddies call it, friends and family forum, and for a good reason. Been a member here at MGS for a while but really haven't posted much for one reason or another.

Do not post on WRX anymore just use it for historical research regarding older content (club-making, classic clubs). MGS is as many are saying much more courteous and respectful which I appreciate. MGS is my number one in my book and I am enjoying watching it grow. And I do feel WRX is relevant but not to the degree it once was. There are alternatives or something for just about any golfer type. I do participate at HP and read golf swing instruction threads over at STrap.

jaskanski Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I did the whole GolfWRX thing. For a period of time, it was great and there were some great folks who were knowledgeable and passionate about golf. It used to be a valuable resource to the inside gouge on what was going on in the golf industry. It was a great resource to past times too. The problem is (in my opinion anyway) the drive to recruit new forum members who clearly had no intention of contributing in a positive way to posts started to detract from the seasoned members who made it what it was. They drove out the people who made it great - who soon got tired of getting into arguments, childish trash talk and fanboy antics. Yours truly took a certain amount of flak over the years until eventually I quit. Good friends like Howard Jones still posts occasionally but the vibe is much different these days. Personally, I can take or leave forums as the mood or interest takes these days. Consider yourself lucky I still care. flyingwedges, Golfspy_CG2, Rtracymog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotDoctor Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 It gets old when someone posts a thread seeking other's opinions on some topic and tells people who are offering an opinion they are "WRONG". This is happening way too often which makes the site hard to take seriously. It seems that there are more and more members who want to only post about the latest wares. I also love how almost every member hits the ball as far as DJ, Keopka or Bubba. It seems as if the site is becoming more of a self promotion site. Of course I have a passion for Persimmon woods and the Classic/Persimmon/Hickory board is quickly losing steam.

Well yes to the new ones but at one time I had most all the original TPM's (both the #'s and Roman Numeral ones). Sold all but the 12's, wish I had kept them. I found out through research (after the fact) that while some were stamped Spalding, they were actually made in T-town or finished there. Mine were the old ones (70's/80's). IMO you have some treasures with the .223 pencil shafts -- that feel is unique to say the least. Side story, One year at Shoal Creek, I was volunteering on driving range. I walk up to the putting green to see if the pro's have plenty of new Titleist to putt with. It was unusually quiet and many of the pro's were on one side of the green huddled around a staff bag. I waited until they cleared out and went about their practice and walked over. Mother of God I couldn't believe my eyes, a whole bag of handmade tour Mills. Bet I took 30 pics on my phone before this guy walks over, it was David Mills. Very nice guy. I ordered my #12 right after that. Highlight of week volunteering.

Sold all but the 12's, wish I had kept them. I found out through research (after the fact) that while some were stamped Spalding, they were actually made in T-town or finished there. Mine were the old ones (70's/80's). IMO you have some treasures with the .223 pencil shafts -- that feel is unique to say the least. Side story, One year at Shoal Creek, I was volunteering on driving range. I walk up to the putting green to see if the pro's have plenty of new Titleist to putt with. It was unusually quiet and many of the pro's were on one side of the green huddled around a staff bag. I waited until they cleared out and went about their practice and walked over. Mother of God I couldn't believe my eyes, a whole bag of handmade tour Mills. Bet I took 30 pics on my phone before this guy walks over, it was David Mills. Very nice guy. I ordered my #12 right after that. Highlight of week volunteering. Apologies for trying to turn this thread into a Mills one... No need to apologize here we get off the subject quite a bit around here. All but one of my Mills believe it or not came of the scrap pile at work. For some reason I get a run on putters. For a while it was TPM and then Bulls Eyes. aerospace_ray 1 Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.
