Tuesday was Demo Day of the 2026 PGA Show from Orlando, Florida, and GolfWRX were live on site to capture everything going down from Orange County National Golf Center.

  • Don’t forget that you can follow along GolfWRX on Instagram for live running updates of content we’ve captured throughout the week.

Our forums are packed full of galleries showcasing all of what is happening all week, so make sure to head over to our forums to check out everything we are snapping from this year’s PGA Show.

But first, check our Showstoppers – five products that caught our eye on Demo Day in Orlando.

Yonex Prototype Driver

A top-secret Yonex driver prototype made its first public appearance at Demo Day…and it’s all-in on carbon.

Built around an advanced, carbon-forward concept, the prototype highlights Yonex’s deep expertise and continued commitment to carbon engineering throughout the driver head. The result is a design that looks purpose-built for optimizing performance through material placement, shaping, and structural tuning.

While the driver’s official name, specs, and proprietary tech are still under wraps (with a full launch expected later this year) here’s what our Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, noticed:

“The prototype pairs a titanium frame with four internal carbon components. The carbon face sits nearly flush to the titanium, delivering a noticeably soft feel and a heavily muted sound at impact.

At address, the head looks compact with a more rounded profile. For tuning, it features an adjustable hosel plus a movable weight system, with one on the sole and another positioned toward the heel.”

Cobra 3D putters

Cobra’s 3DP Tour putters were not to be missed on Demo Day, with the new additions from the brand that feature a multi jet fusion 3D printing process, a multi material construction, fully milled faces a long with descending loft technology.

The 3D-printed internal lattice constructed via a Multi Jet Fusion process on the putters contains a lattice that is built layer by layer from powder, and then fused together via infrared technology. The result? A  structure ensuring that there is no inefficient mass within the putter head with the purpose of adding to stability and feel.

The lineup contains one blade and five mallets which include tungsten screws in the sole to add stability and feature a stainless steel face design.

Ping i540 & G740 irons

Unreleased new additions from Ping!

Seemingly the next advancement from the brand’s i540 and G740 irons, full tech details are yet to be disclosed, but here’s a few things our Club Junkie noticed:

“The i540 has the look of a compact players iron. With a shorter blade length, reduced offset, and a thinner topline. It also appears shorter heel-to-toe than the i240, and the back has a sleek, streamlined vibe similar to the iDi utility iron.”

LAB DF3i putter

It was spotted on tour by our photographer at last week’s Sony Open, and LAB’s all-new DF3i was certainly a showstopper in Orlando on Tuesday.

While we don’t know all the details just yet, here’s what our resident Club Junkie had to say:

“It looks very similar to a standard DF3, just with fewer sole weights. The new insert delivers a firmer feel and a crisp, clicky sound at impact.”

Mizuno M.Craft Putters

Mizuno unveiled its forged-in-Japan M.Craft City Series putters earlier this month, and we got an even closer look at the new lineup today.

Each model is precision-forged from soft Pure Select 1025E carbon steel for a buttery, responsive feel, then finished with an added copper underlay to further soften impact and fine-tune vibrations through the head. On the sole, twin movable weights give golfers the ability to dial in overall head weight and feel to match their stroke.

The Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo models were all on display at Demo Day.
