The holidays are upon us again, GolfWRX members, so let the daydreaming begin, as we fill our lists with the golf gear we want this season.
As is true every year, the gifts in the Holiday Gift Guide ideas will suit any budget, and each item was hand-picked by our staff.
We’re again presenting our guide as a series as we did in years past, targeting, throughout the week, “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to improve,” “the stylish golfer,” and “the big spender.”
You know the value seeker by his/her eschewing anything that will put a significant dent into the wallet while still getting the most from their game, this includes equipment, practice tools, or anything else you might find filling out a golf bag – maybe even the golf bag itself.
Here are our best recommendations for the value seeker in your life.
Bushnell Launch Pro
A tremendous value in this launch monitor tier, which the value seeker will surely appreciate! Using three cameras for accurate ball and club data indoors or out, for golfers who have limited space indoors, this monitor fits perfectly. Not only will gearheads like the accurate data for comparing clubs, but you can simulate rounds as well for added fun. The Launch Pro will also connect to Bushnell Link-Enabled range finders, so you can use your club distances on the course for more accurate club selection.

Shot Scope Pro ZR
The build quality alone is worth more than the price of the Pro ZR, but this rangefinder packs a lot of accuracy and features for that price. You get pin lock on, a choice of optics colors, and a magnet for the cart for under $200. The Pro ZR also has a 1,500-yard hard range, 6X magnification, and works with the Shot Scope GPS app for even more course planning.

PXG Xtreme Tour, Xtreme Tour X golf balls
Everyone wants a golf ball that performs like the highest tour ball but costs much less. PXG’s first Xtreme golf balls were a solid entry, but they took all that knowledge, added some more, and released the Xtreme Tour and Xtreme Tour X balls that perform even better. Long off the tee and with irons, while still providing great spin and control around the green. We found the feel is soft on both the lower-spin Xtreme and the higher-spin Xtreme X.

Takomo 101 irons
“Come for the price, stay for the performance” isn’t the Takomo Golf slogan, but it could be. The company’s 101 iron features a ton of tech in a compact look at an incredible price. As Takomo says, “It’s long. It’s straight. The game-improvement iron that looks like a blade.”
Price: $489 (4-PW)

Titleist TSR2 driver
The previous generation of this Titleist driver is still an excellent performer and is available for a great price at 2nd Swing. One of the top sellers in the pre-owned driver category and a top performer in our Members Choice and Best Driver lists.

TaylorMade Stealth irons
OK. A value seeker is almost never going to play a current-gen product. Just not in his/her DNA. And if you buy a value seeker a current-gen product, they will probably tell you that you spent too much and act grinchy. Thus, it’s better to find a great value on a prior year product, like 2nd Swing’s iron recommendation: TaylorMade Stealth irons.
