I love this You give a group of guys a set of clubs, tell them to enjoy, and what happens....everyone walks a different road experiencing different joys along that path but we all end up meeting at a common spot or in this case... a common theme. myself ... I was not impressed with the clubs with the exception of the 6i. the wedge I did not like due to the fact that I could get 20 yard spread in distances and hence the lack of trust. need to combine with my set? Then you have STUDque that just raves about the GW and the ability to perform a variety of shots, GC70 doesn't want to play them Kanoito struggled with toe hits so he's still in the figuring it out. Mr. Theo enjoyed the 4i distance and trajectory but also needs more on course testing for an further evaluation. So if i am not mistaken the common theme is that so far no one is enamoured with the i500's saying "Wow, I'm playing these from now on" but still more testing is needed in order to complete the journey.

Maybe someone who recently entered the 2018 Odyssey Putter giveaway?

Nice recap, Har. One thing that might have helped me was if I got these in July, so I could really get better comparisons. The PW is just no good for me. Maybe it needs the loft and lie checked out. I feel bad for Ping and all the GolfSpys, that I really couldn’t test them out the way I wanted. I did play them enough to know that they won’t be in the starting lineup in 2019. I will definitely test them again against my gamers. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Can you change mine to broke a golf cart? I've done it 4 times, unfortunately it's been my own every time. Technically 2 weren't my fault and the other 2 it was only really really stuck.

KZG Forged Gap wedge in pretty nice used condition. Looks like it might be CNC milled too. Either way a high quality wedge for $23 shipped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking the same thing Har, I just love the honesty of the reviews and I love that it shows just how different all of us are. One thing I think people should take from all of this is reading reviews is an excellent source of information about clubs but (and it's a Kardashian size but) you have to get out and try clubs before buying or dismissing them

Hi Jason, I think you are spot on about looking into your driver. We have commonly found that once someone gains a good amount of speed as you have their current driver no longer is suitable for them. Spin often increases too much. The amount of speed you have gained with each SuperSpeed clubs has been outstanding and if it isn't transferring over that is the first place to look. Do you know how much your current driver weighs in total? Down the line you may also want to look at doing a ball fitting as that can change too. The good thing is that it is the off season so it is a good time for you to focus on speed and then as the spring hits you will be better suited to take this new speed to the course. One other test you could try is to measure some max out driver swings using the radar but not hitting a ball. Let us know how those numbers look. Kyle

I'd like to request one for - Can't Break 70. Thanks!

definitely. Aside from the plans that MGS have, I was impressed with the fact that they give 20 tags and you can compare clubs from different manufacturers. as I am testing the Ping i500's, I want to get data so i can get a good comparison with my MP 25's.

Was 3 over with 3 to play when darkness called it. Did hit a couple of bombs (for me). Career long on 1 and the drives on 13 and 14 were both out there - had 180 into the green on 14 which is 471 on the card - pin and tees were up though. Probably 250, I was right next to a guy who is normally 250-270 on that one. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Played Lake Bluff today. Snow melted enough to get out and play. Hit 47* today, but the back 9 was extremely windy and cool. Still happy to get out.... Especially since 4-8 inches of snow is coming Sunday into Monday. [emoji17] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Week 8 is officially over for me. My numbers have been pretty consistent the last few weeks, I guess that has to do with this being a plateau phase. That, and adding the kneeling swings into the mix. Daisy from SuperSpeed said this was to be expected. My kneeling swings have gotten better, my highs this week were 88, 89, and 80 on my dominant side and 80, 81, and 76 non dominant. I'm actually just a hair faster with the medium club than my light. I played a round earlier today and took the swing radar with me to get some numbers on course. I'm disappointed that I'm not seeing the numbers on the course that I'm getting at the range. I had a high today of 94 and a low of 87. I recorded eight drives and only averaged 90 mph. I don't know if this is the mental part of the game in that I'm trying to control where my drives are going and limiting myself on speed. I did hit a 3 wood 208 off the deck according to Arccos, a new record! Maybe I need to ditch the driver. I am noticing that my driver is ballooning, I hit em high and not far. I probably need to get a new one as I think mine might spin too much. Daisy recommended getting fitted for a new one, but after getting new irons a couple of months ago that's a little over budget. I did use TrueFit that My Golf Spy has put out and got recommended for a Srixon z765 that I might look into as you can find them used at a reasonable rate. I know it's not a fitting, but $300 plus is quite a bit to have to shell out this close to Christmas. I'm going to hit the range again on Sunday to see if there's been any change there. I do feel like I can swing more freely when there's not trees to hit into. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

We just played Coyote Wash GC in Wellton, AZ for the first time this winter season. Happy to report that it is MUCH better condition than it has been in recent years now that the county has resumed managing the course. The only thing they don't have but should have very soon is their liquor license.

My ideas... + Handicap MGS Tester CAPS LOCK POSTER

Sorry Alan but wow that's a bad loss

Nope. That's a cold hard fact of my golf career. I've had many opportunities but have never closed it out. Played today and carded a 74. Six bogies!! and two birds. Par at my course is 70.

How does Urban have Harbough's number this badly?

Fire harbaugh at halftime. He cannot coach. No adjustments. Nothing new, same dumb offense. How pathetic can you play in a game where you have to win. Stupid, Stupid, stupid. Idiot

Or the people that just simply post "I'd like to enter this contest" in testing sign up threads or threads for contests outside of MGS We can call it the "Reading Comprehension" badge

Along the lines of a special badge, how about a badge that says "I follow directions" and everyone who posts an application in an expired testers wanted thread gets one.

LOL Somebody is on top of the new badge thing. As you can see. I requested the above badge but got a Broke 80 badge instead. I broke 80 100 years ago but have never broken par. I think I will if I can figure out how to get out of my way. Came within 2 strokes this past summer. I suppose now that I have that Broke 80 badge staring at me I'll have to go get the job done or live with the Broke 80 badge.

I was there. Definitely a huge loss for their CFP chances. Still like them vs. Memphis and have to wait and see on bowl game. I expect a medical redhirt year for Milton in 19 then a possible senior season in 20.

Happy Rivalry weekend... Go Blue beat tOSu!!

Y’all really have this on my mind. I did not like the watch I reviewed earlier this year, so I’m a little hesitant, but I really like what the stats look like. Mannnnnn. Gonna be tough to NOT get one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

If you like defense, don’t watch this game. 49-45 and the third quarter just ended. Back and forth, up and down the field. No defense at all, maybe 2 good defensive plays so far in 3 quarters.

[whining voice]"But why are lefties so special? I want a Righty badge!"[/end whining] An enjoyable idea. Put me in for the Broke 80 badge.

Will do! Got it set up and connected. Don’t have my mat yet but hoping the weather breaks enough to hit some outside tomorrow into my net. Also toying around with adding the WGT sim to it... Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Anyone ever use progressive eyeglass lenses or multi focal contacts? Found out at my eye appointment today that I am a candidate for both. This over 40 thing really is starting to suck in a lot of ways. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I was told at my last eye visit in April, I would have to start using progressive lenses by next year. I can no longer wear contact lenses due to my own negligence and irresponsibility. I wore them too much, often for days at a time and developed a condition in my eyes that doesn’t allow me to wear contacts anymore. Wearing glasses on the golf course took a bit to get used to. Mainly around the green and addressing the ball. Everything had a rounded look to it. Like I was looking down at a golf ball teed up on a basketball sitting on an exercise ball. Once I got used to it, it has been fantastic. Especially with transitions lenses. I don’t know why I ever chose to wear contacts! Take a look at Zenni Optical for recreation or sport glasses. My family has been using them for over a decade.

I've given UCF plenty of crap over the last year, but you never wanna see that. I hope the kid makes a full recovery. I was actually kinda hoping they'd sneak into the playoff but I don't see how they would now.

congrads PMookie. I think the MGS Leaderboard in the summertime will be a fun time

Just like signatures, I guess one important note is that we want flair without clutter. We should be picky which badges get created and I think ones like those might create too many. Not a good look if the badges start overpowering the comments members make like some other forums I've seen.

It was really an idea that I conjured up and just went with that worked marvelously. I scored the skin before placing the bacon on. Not only did all of the delicious bacon fat render into the turkey breast but bacon then became an actual side dish. There were 0 complaints.

Do you mean "What would you do after the heart attack you had after your employer gave you a surprise three day paid vacation"? Depends on the weather, if it's nice I would definitely go play a round. I would probably spend the rest of the time relaxing at home with the wife and fur babies.

Good luck with it, will be interesting to hear your views and if any are close to the MGS testers opinions.

With the Thanksgiving holiday I will be changing my schedule. It has been M-W-F since starting Level 2. I will be spending the holiday with my dad; just turned 88 last month, so my 3rd session will be on Saturday afternoon after driving 300 miles. I just finished my 2nd session of Week 2. I haven't had any problems with the kneeling swing, in fact speed is up from last week with all clubs. The first session last week my kneeling swing speeds were low-80's; by the 3rd session last week speeds were in mid-80's; today the speeds were mid- to high 80's. All clubs are about the same, and right and left handed speeds are the same. I reached a new milestone with the lightest club... 110 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was on my second Step Change swing with the Yellow club. The speed increase could be due to a change I made in my warmup. Today at 11am it was 30º with fog and a light mist falling. I have been doing the warmup outside, even with temps in the low 30's. Today I said NO!! I set up everything outside, then went inside to do the warmup. Came back outside to complete the warmup with the 10 swings with the Blue club, then immediately into the protocol. I felt better being nice and warm.

Ok guys, went to the driving range today to see if I could see an improvement over my week six results. After the first protocol I saw an increase of 1.6 percent in my initial swing speed, which was lower than my fellow testers. Today I took 17 shots with my driver, recording each good one. I say that because I had a couple of outliers where I hit the ground before the ball, so I made sure not to include them in my statistics. I did have one of these hit 109 mph, but most of them were in the 84-86 range. My final statistics were an average of 92 mph, with a high of 110 (good, solid contact) and a low of 84. Most of my drives were in the 91-92 mph range. Now I'm sitting at an increase of 3.37 percent in overall swing speed. I'm still looking for the magical five percent increase, but at least I'm going in the right direction. Now if I could just remember how I hit that one.... It's back to the driving range next weekend to get more numbers. Maybe week eight will be the lucky number. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Week seven has been a crazy one for me. It's been unseasonably cold and wet here in southeast Tennessee, I've been working lots of overtime, and my wife has been sick. My schedule for training has been altered because I've had to make runs into town on my way home to get food, so my training was on Sunday, Tuesday, and Saturday. I'll be doing Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week. It was a good week, I've noticed that my speeds were a little slower earlier in the week due to having to bundle up, and guys, I'm not very flexible to begin with. My kneeling swings are basically feeling like I'm just flailing water in order to stay afloat. My speeds were faster today as it was sixty degrees outside and that's perfect weather for a tee shirt and freedom. I got an all time high with my lightest (yellow) club of 114 mph with the step change drill and tied a high of 108 with my medium (green). I'm planning on hitting the range again to see if I can reach the five percent gain that eluded me after the initial six week period. I ended up buying a pass to the driving range for forty dollars and I'll get fifteen buckets at that price. That's a steal of a deal and I knew that with this test and still adjusting to my new irons, I couldn't pass it up. Sent from my SM-G955U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Getting to the end of the fall season ... big wind/rain storms blowing through and dropping leaves like crazy. Great day with beautiful blue skies and bright sunshine but with the glare and the leaves sometimes you can hit a superb drive in the fairway and not find the ball.... I was paired up with another "golfNow" person (that's him in the cart) and we rode in the same cart together (can't walk before 12 on Sunday) and it is always awkward to start but things loosened up after a bit. He volunteers to do transportation at some PGA tournaments in the area and had some good stories about Rickie, Phil, Paulina G., etc.
