    Mr. Mushball got a reaction from William P in New Level 480 Irons   
    Wow, a forged game improvement iron!  No cavity back or speed foam?  Love the look of forged irons and these look stunning.  Smaller heads and thinner looking top line than most of the GI options out there.  Svelt metal makes me feel like a real player versus chunky bludgeons. With the changes to my swing and gaining some confidence I'd love to give these a rip and tell the world how much these can help a super high handicapper like myself.
    I'd be looking at the 480-DBs.  Here's how I'd build mine out.  Love the option to personalize the ferrule, but was kinda bummed they didn't have the TT Rifle 105 shaft available.

    Mr. Mushball got a reaction from A.S. in Shot Scope V5   
    I've been a long time ShotScope user.  Now using the X5 (pretty much a V5), and had V3 before.  

    What I'm curious of from the testers chosen is: if you currently use a scope, do you still find it necessary/useful vs. watch distances?  This may require you to learn how to use the pin placement feature on the watch, something I'm still fiddling with.
    Good luck to those in the pool!  I feel very naked and underprepared if I can't use my watch.

    So tempted to sign up for this.  Not sure I could give this review fair justice though.  Testing a single club is doable, but the process of deciding how I want the build to go, building, then testing clubs that I currently have no place playing in my bag is more than I can take on right now.  

    I'd love to see what the lucky picks wind up putting together for themselves.  What a great opportunity!  Good luck testers!

    Nice!  This will be an awesome opportunity and I absolutely loved building my first set that I got from Toura.

    This should be an interesting test and you weren't kidding in the good morning thread when you said that it was unique, @GolfSpy_APH. 
    Good luck to everyone who applies!

    OOOOOH!!  Can't wait to see how these play out for those chosen!  I personally would love to be one as I'm not particularly happy with my current driver and my Irons are all Callaway.  I've heard good things about these clubs from a few that have hit them, interested to see how they work out for those here on the forum.

    Mr. Mushball got a reaction from William P in Edel Array Putters   
    I'm curious about the fitting process and if the blade putter is even the right one for me.  I've been using the BT-2 for 23 years, and with the Garsen grip it is a solid piece.  Can the Edel modularity do it better?  I do need another club to test the MAX with... 😆

    For my 2-wedge setup I'd replace my current gap and sand wedge, so the 53 and 57 degree would rock.  I'm happy enough with my PW and AW, which are really the standard set irons with the appropriate lofts.
    What I don't like about the KS Wedges is pretty much the standard complaints.   The shafts are too long, can't fully open the bounce, and have very low backspin.  I seem to be able to get the sole opened enough for some higher flop shots, but still am getting 10 yards of roll out on a 30 yard carry.  Maybe I'm just too slow?   Nah, gotta be the gear. 😆

    Looks like a nice piece of gear.  I currently use the ShotScope X5 which doesn't have nearly as many features.  Love to see how other SS users feel about using the S70.

    Beautiful irons and would love to eventually have a set like these, but they are just a bit too intimidating at the moment and my game wouldn't do them justice.  Good luck to the testers!

    As a high handicapper myself, I can attest that woods are something I struggle with.  I played most of last season without my driver, and only just recently putt a fairway wood back in my bag.  Any tool that can help me out while I figure this silly game out would be a big help!

    I have been lucky to have been part of a 2 tests. Thank you MGS, Callaway & Sub70. The oppretunity to be a tester is great, but that is not what I am on this forum. The amount of information and knowledge I receive from just about everyone is phenomenal.  Thank you to everyone who contribute, you guys are AWESOME.
