[2023 MGS Forum Test: Sub70 TAIII Wedges]

I'd love the chance to see how much better these wedges are than the Hogan Equalizer II  that I've been playing.    It would also round out my set with my irons being the Sub70 TAIII

Track my shots manually and use a range finder. Fascinated to see what Arrcos could teach me. My mind says not enough to justify the cost but my mind also calls me a cheapskate. Would love the opportunity to test...on someone else's dime. Best of both worlds!

I also was using range finder and manual tracking, but would find myself not trusting my numbers and then falling into using maximum distance rather than expected range.  So last year before I started my club search I picked up a Swing Caddie SC300i  to get the carry numbers tracked.   I have noticed that the calculated total and the real total as tracked by Arccos are very close

I just picked up the set of Arccos sensors and the link in July of this year.    The shot detection with the link is spot on.   I like the smart distance feedback as well.  I use the caddie app to  simulate playing courses ahead of rounds, and then use the caddie selection for the clubs to hit.    So far listening to the caddie allowed me to focus on hitting a specific distance rather than just hitting any distance. 

Good luck to the testers

This uh... this will definitely be a part of the review, intentional or otherwise .

Additionally, I'm the type of person who reads the instruction manual of every purchase (much to my wife's frustration). Professionally, I deal with identifying and assessing product use and misuse cases (albeit in an entirely different industry). I have a few scenarios in my mind that I want to test assuming that they're not already explicitly advised against by the product itself. As a benign example, I have indoor and outdoor space available to test the net in. Is it permissible to leave the net up outside for prolonged periods of time? If so, how is it going to hold up against the notoriously volatile Chicago weather? We had days last year with rain, sleet, hail, and sun in the same afternoon. If the product is delicate in it's exposure requirements then the ability to set up and take down quickly and easily will be a make-or-break for outdoor use.

To be clear, I'm not talking about intentional product abuse. I don't think anyone benefits from evaluating this thing in artificially ideal conditions though. Can I wash the target sheet with a garden hose if/when I hit a fat shot out of my grass? Can I be confident setting this thing up in the 3rd car garage bay without fear that a shank will hit an adjacent vehicle in the garage? If skying shots with my sand wedge to test the roof net risks putting holes in my garage ceiling, so be it! I'm plenty comfortable with patching and drywall compound

I have high expectations for the SPG-8 based on the previous, glowing reviews. It's tempting to think it's a forgone conclusion that this will live up to the performance of the SPG-7. I assure ya'll it's going to be put through its paces, and I'm not resting on our laurels!

I definitely want to hear about the extended exposure outside, being in the Chicago burbs we get drastic quick changes in weather   Congrats on being selected
