We do what we can!

+1 to that. I spent many hours at practice greens rolling putts and analyzing stats after rounds when I tested a Zebra putter. It’s a time commitment but well worth it if you’re a gear nerd. 

Using this particular test as an example. Members will sign up to test these drivers and indicate which model they would like to test. Of all those that sign up, the forum staff will pick 2 to test the standard, 2 to test the max, and 2 to test the LS. After selections are made, those selected will submit the loft, as well as the flex and weight of the stock shaft they would like to test. That info is sent to Taylor Made and then a short time later the club shows up to the tester, so the fun can begin. 😁
 
Also, once selected and time permitting, a tester can get fit for the club they are testing at their own expense, if there is any doubt about what would work best for them.

Testing the DF2.1 was an honor I didn’t take lightly. I enjoyed the experience, especially the interactions with my fellow testers.
I might be the only person the putter didn’t work out for, and that was mainly because I couldn’t roll it from off the green down here, and living where I do that’s very important for someone with my level of short game. I also wonder all the time if things would’ve been different had I been fit in person, but the rub to that is we were testing their online fitting method as much as the putter itself.
I think if you’re fit properly for the putter it might be the most accurate you’ve used. Getting used to it’s size was never an issue, soling it properly without manipulating the putter awkwardly was my issue, and that goes back to the fitting. My verdict is, great putter, but get fit in person, not online.
One last thing… my loss was my nephew’s gain. The specs of my putter were perfect for him, and he loves it. I didn’t feel like it would be right to sell this putter because of how I got it, so I gifted it to him rather than have it sit in my spare room. I’m glad it found a good home and is helping someone shoot lower scores.
