I don't know what you are looking for, but the last ball testing was done in August 2021 and the data from that test was used for this video. You can find the details in this article which was previously listed: https://mygolfspy.com/best-golf-balls-2021/

You can still bend cast clubs; just a bit more difficult and there are limitations in how far they can be bent. No different than bending lie angles to meet the players needs.

Better to hit those kind of shots are the range. Been doing some wedge stuff at MGS and hit a few shanks and when they hit the walls they have an tendency to bounce around quite a bit....gotta be alert when inside

I typically wear the same pair until they wear out so all I need is a single bag to go with my single pair of shoes

That is what is done as part of a gapping session. Hit the clubs and then either switch to different stock lofts; in the case of wedges, woods, or hybrids, or bend them to the specs that produce the desired gapping.

I'm not overthinking anything and you are avoiding the question I asked. I never said feel was the sole way to pick a shaft and agree that it should be based on performance (distance and dispersion). I am one of MyGolfSpy's most wanted testers and we configure clubs for testing based on performance not feel. A clubs performance is based on its construction and how it is delivered to the ball which is why different shafts perform differently. So I'll ask the question again: Why do people swing the club differently with different shafts or are you saying any high quality shaft can produce equal performance and it doesn't influence the swing in any way?

congrats!!!!!

Here is an article that speculates the connection some of which is based on statements from the groups founder. https://progolfweekly.com/whos-behind-the-9-11-group-protesting-liv-golf-trump/

Everyone is different and the only thought that matters is yours. If you would be happier selling them and playing a less expensive set then sell them. Keep in mind that if you have hit the clubs, you have a used set.

I never said performance wasn't important or what you should looking for. Do you think that it is simply the shafts construction that changes swing numbers and the persons swing remains the same? I am referring to changes in swing speed, AoA, path, dynamic loft, closure rate, etc. Or do you believe that the shaft changes the dynamics of the swing and if so what is it about the person that causes that change?

Even Pros have swing keys that they think about before their shots. Give this a view; illustrates what @chisagdiscussed in his post.

ok whatever 270 yard lip out for tap in eagle; answer the question we all want to know about. How did the ChipR perform?

Sounds like my lesson from two days ago. He wanted to look at my putting so he could have a complete game assessment. I was telling him I over-read shot putts and get defensive and try not to blow the ball past the hole. I do okay in practice but not during a round. Was told play less break and hit it harder and just don’t worry about going past the hole because it should be in very makable range. Definitely a mind adjustment.

The app provides significantly more details than just average score when looking at course statistics.

The Srixon fairways are one of my favorites

Keep an eye out 2022 should be released in a couple of weeks. I just wrapped up testing on Tuesday and others should be this week or early next week.

As with everything it seems with golf, things aren’t standard. A shaft labeled as 50gr could actually be anywhere from the 40 gram range into the 60 gram range.

I’ll give you my opinion based on what I have learned over the years. 1. work on your setup and ensure that you consistently get in the same setup position each time. I his helps ensure you see the line of the putt the same way each time 2. The other skills you need to have is starting the ball on the start line you have chosen. If you can’t do this, you will struggle with distance control and green reading. Try different putter configurations and see what putter help you do this. When you are trying putters or practicing you can make a get to roll the ball through or put a dime about 17” in front of you ball and roll the ball over the dime using different stroke lengths to simulate different putt lengths. This isn’t about making a putt into some hole at the store!. Try different style putters (blade style putters are not about how good you are), different head weights, different neck styles and placements and see what putter helps you roll the ball online. Once you find the putter you can practice gate drills at home just like above to get more consistent. You can also go the route of just picking any putter and learning how to use it effectively; I’d still do the same drill I described. 3. Once you can roll the ball on line you can start looking at distance control. This simply comes from practice and is probably the most important skill to develop especially as you get farther from the hole to avoid 3 putts. This is probably less about the putter and more about your building the right stroke feels to be able to roll the ball a particular distance. Some people follow more mechanical approaches for this and others are more feel based. I am more mechanical in my approach so I establish specific stroke lengths for distances like big toe goes 5 feet, little toe goes 15, hands to thigh goes 20 feet. Basically a clock type drill that people advocate for wedges. Feel is something built on experience and they use throwing a baseball as an example since you instinctively make adjustments for the distance. Neither is right or wrong it is about you. 4. Green reading becomes easier when you can do items 1 and 2 above. If you can’t start the ball on your start line and you can’t control speed there is no way to know if the read was correct. you don’t need to have a professional fitting as they do basically what I described above but use equipment to gather the details.

I am more boring; I generally don't drink. I think I am up to 3 beers this year.

I have not heard anyone say that you can't drink shots during the weekend.

You are correct, based on the documentation, positional shots are not included in the distance numbers. You can make your own choices; don't mark those shots as positional. While it will give you the information on the distance chart, it will negatively impact your approach shot numbers. I really don't want another shot type, I feel like I hit my clubs enough that over time I will get enough numbers and I don't really find the information useful since it is total distance not carry.

Based on their documentation I would say not included.

Thanks and Yep, pretty minor stuff. Probably need to focus and think before I take shots when on the course. I hate to say “swing thoughts”, but probably need some basic setup check list items before I make my swing.

If you are less than 50 yards from the hole when you hit that bump and run, it doesn’t impact you average or p-average. From the shot scope site: Any shot marked as a positional shot or a shot hit within 50 yards of the pin is not included in either the Average or P-AVG calculations

Of course, especially when it gets reported on the forum; gotta make the excuses early.
