  1. Sure. The only purpose is to prevent the constant rubbing of the cart strap on the bag. The Ghost strap cover is neoprene
  2. It is already plural. (used in direct address usually to two or more people, or to one person who represents a family, organization, etc.): Are y’all coming home for the holidays this year? Y’all let me know when you want those coffees warmed up.If we get there before you, we’ll try to save y’all a seat.
  3. With all things equal the rollout will be equal. Balls hit don’t have forward spin until they have interaction with the ground. generalizing a draw will have a little less spin than a fade so it will roll out farther. all things are not equal when you hit shots. You need to factor in spin, descent angle, path, etc.
  4. I use a push cart and ride depending on where I play. That said, a few of the courses I play have a long walk from the parking lot to the range/clubhouse so it will be carried some. This is an interesting dynamic with premium bags. They charge you a premium price yet there is a recommended additional purchase if you ride in a cart. There are also situations at higher end clubs where the bags are loaded by attendants which means you have to unstrap the bag and then put on the protector.
  5. Most wanted testing day today so I got in a little practice time. Pitching/chipping seems to be coming along but full swing is not great. Not sure if it is just rust or compensations and/or apprehension to avoid potentially hurting myself. Thinking I need to take a couple of lessons to work on some fundamentals.
  6. Why do you think it is easier than the h4? I thought the H4 was extremely easy to use.
  7. Keep monitoring you BP, if it is really caused by something else you don’t want it to go too low.
  8. There is no official conforming list, but that putter should still be allowed for USGA and R&A tournaments
  9. When I first was diagnosed with HPB, I had no history but it was extremely elevated. If they don’t want to do meds, there should at least be a series of follow-ups to assess if it is better after the vertigo and allergies have cleared up.
  10. It is both the distance and number of shots as well as lie. You are a distance from the hole which has a strokes gained number; the system calculates how you did for each shot. It will tell you how you did with each club as well so you can see how you perform with different clubs I would not worry about hitting extra clubs due to weather. as for your putting question, i believe it does strokes gained for the 30 footer and the 5 footer. Your putting stats are also driven by each distance. https://support.shotscope.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017684917-What-is-strokes-gained
  11. sorry to hear the appointment was frustrating. Hope you have a follow-up and this gets figured out.
  12. Depends on the instructor and if you are doing single or bulk lessons. In person 1 lesson is around $75 and you can get 5 for $300. You can go on platforms like skillest and pay $30 to $3000.
  13. If you like the midsize grip and feel it perform better switch to a midsize grip. Midsize grips are typically heavier and will reduce the swingweight of your club. JumboMax may not; depending on model, some are lighter than standard grips. Basically, to lower swingweight you need a grip that weighs more than your current grip.
  14. Introduction: Who am I? Wanted to say upfront thanks to the mod team for selecting me to test this product and to Ghost Golf for providing the bags for us to test. I’m Chris and live in Newport News, VA; which is about 20 minutes from MGS headquarters. I have been playing golf on and off since I was a teenager (I am now 57) and prior to actually getting out on a course I remember getting my hands on some clubs as a preteen with my neighborhood friends and hitting balls in a cemetery near the house where I grew up. I started playing on a regular basis in about 2000 when a friend invited me to play in his weekly group. The group has shrunk in size since then but I still play with a few from that group and play in my company’s golf league. My game has gone up and down through the years with my handicap getting as low as a 4 and is now about a 7. I am basically a huge golf junkie and love learning about products and all things golf which is why I volunteer my time to be one of HQ’s most wanted testers. Being a most wanted tester lets me hit a wide variety of clubs on the market but also lets me get access to see and touch lots of unique products in the golf world. Current Bag: Since we are testing golf bags it is probably a good idea to talk about my bag. I use a 2020 Callaway Fairway 14 which is a hybrid stand bag. It has numerous pockets to include one for pens, valuables, balls, cooler, phone, and general storage. What's in the bag? Based on a discussion in one off the forum threads, I weighed my current bag with everything in it and it came out to 27 ½ pounds. I carry the following: See my signature for the clubs Alignment sticks Lightweight rain suit Tour Striker SmartBall Shot Scope Rangefinder Sunglasses Club cleaning brushes Valuables bag with ball markers, tees, divot tools Lots of balls Towels Extra gloves Planned Testing Approach: First, I guess the biggest question to answer is why did I apply to perform this test. As mentioned above I am a most wanted tester so I am at MGS HQ quite frequently. One of the times I was there I Adam made the comment that I really needed to get a better bag. My typical approach to picking a bag is looking at the bags storage and evaluating if I think I can fit my stuff in the bag and finding the bag that is the least expensive. Until the Ghost Bag I have never owned what would be considered a premium golf bag. So, the main question I want to answer for myself and for the readers is whether a premium bag is worth the extra cost. I currently have several bags that sit in my golf club storage room holding backup clubs and I’ll be comparing the Ghost Golf bag against and identifying pros and cons to each. I don’t go through bags quickly and my current bag has been used for 4 years and shows minimal wear. Some of the things that I will be considering as part of this test: Storage Weight Stability of stand Add on features (cooler, glove holder, pockets, etc) Overall quality/value for the price Walking ability Push cart fit Driving cart fit General functionality As of the writing of this intro, I have spent some time on the Ghost Golf website and social media accounts. I know it was named the best premium bag during stand bag Most Wanted Testing and those on the forum that have the bag think it is great. Reading the Ghost Golf mission statement and about us information, they seem to be on the young trendy hip premium side of the golf fashion arena. On one of their Instagram videos the reviewer considers the bag to be “new school. Ironically that isn’t the side I typically lean toward; I am more on the old casual jeans and tee shirt frugal side Intro Wrap-up: As I go through my review, I’ll be posting more details about my experience with the bag. Let’s see if testing this premium bag can convert me from a buy the cheapest bag you can find to appreciating and wanting the premium product in the future. It also kind of makes me wonder if the premium bag will draw more attention to the bag and increase the chance of theft. That wraps up a quick intro about me and what I am hoping to learn and accomplish, but these reviews are done for you the MGS readers. Leave comments and ask questions about me, my thoughts, and what interests you with this product and if possible, I’ll give it a try and get you the information you need to make your own purchase decision.
  15. why 3 and not 2? short game around the green is usually the result of a missed green and you want to get up and down.
  16. My basic response would be does it matter why you hit it better. People don't always fit into what the believe they should be fit into. This is why you hit the clubs and capture data about your strikes so you can evaluate and determine what works best for how you swing the club.
  17. I would suggest doing some research on expectation management and stroke gained for your handicap level. IMO, Keeping mental focus is probably on of the most difficult parts of the game. Even the professionals struggle to keep mental focus for every shot over 18 holes. You have to figure out how to forget all the past shots, they are in the past, and focus on the shot in front of you and what you need to do and can accomplish at a high percentage rate. How do you relax in other situations you consider to be stressful?
  18. 1. Hope your feeling better. 2. Interesting that you experienced that. MGS has talked about it for a few years and many have scoffed at the findings and said players won't noticed an off center core. 3. Why can't you cut the ball while watching the masters
  19. Definitely post some comparison numbers to show if it does or doesn't help with off center dispersion.
  20. Not creating very lofty goals. I guess sometimes we need to create goals that can be easily achieved.
  21. The static lie angle does not change since you aren’t bending the lie angle. Dynamic lie angle may change but that will depend on how you sole the club.
  22. From counterbalancing has been a thing for a long time. I was fit for a balanced certified weight in the 90s/early 00s. superstroke as you know makes weights as do other smaller companies like tour lock.
