Tell Us Why You Should Be A Tester!
Rheustess replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
I am a retired avid golfer that plays year round on many different private, semi-private and public courses with a group of other avid golfers. That being said any product sent for testing would be tested by several golfers not just a single golfer giving you more bang for your buck. During my working years I was responsible for analyzing and evaluating new suppliers and products to help improve and strengthen our companies products. Part of this responsibility included writing and presenting this information to upper management in both written and oral presentations. If given the opportunity you can rest assured you will get a complete and through evaluation of the product sent for testing. -
I have used the Mizuno ST180 driver for years and have tried for almost a year to find a place to demo the new line of Mizuno line of woods. Currently I do not have a 3wood in the bag because I have not been able to find one that is longer than the Bobby Jones 3 hybrid which has been my go to for long fairway shots. I would love to have an opportunity to test the new Mizuno products as I have always love their products. I look forward to your response and hopefully you will look favorably on at me and give me the honor of being one of your Mizuno testers.

Anyone completely ditched fairway woods in their bags?
Rheustess replied to jbsap's topic in General Q&A
After trying to use fairway woods for years with limited success I have removed them from my bag and replaced them with hybrids. The result has already lowered my handicap by 4 strokes. I may have lost a little distance, but keeping the ball in the fairway makes a huge difference. -

My go to club is a Bobby Jones 3 hybrid, which I carry instead of a 3 wood.I have looked for years and can't find any wood that can beat this club for either distance or accuracy.

I don't switch putters often because I feel it is the one club you must develop a personal relationship. I do like to try as many putters as possible always looking for one that has the perfect feel and best fits my eye.

How many rounds do you manage using the same ball?
Rheustess replied to Dweed's topic in General Q&A
I generally get 3-4 rounds or more before changing balls unless I hit a cart path or other abrasive surface that scuffs the ball.
