    Hey Everyone,
     
    We've sorted things out, but needed to generate a new discount code to make it work.
     
    The new code is: MXMGS15
    As always, we'd appreciate if you use the supplied links:

     
    Maxfli Tour: Medium firmness with mid trajectory and spin
    Maxfli Tour S: The softest Maxfli Tour with high flight and low spin 
    Maxfli Tour X: The firmest and fastest Maxfli Tour with penetrating trajectory and higher spin rates.

    Tony Covey MGS got a reaction from GolfSpy_APH in The "Accuracy" score on club tests   
    Let me see if I can clear this up:
    For driver, fairway woods, and utilities, the accuracy score is derived from the Playable shot percentage and Straight Shot percentage. I believe those are explained in the relevant posts - although we did have the strokes gained reference in the post longer than we should have. We used SG in the past but moved away from it.
    Anticipating the follow-up questions - we got rid of strokes gained because, after looking at several years of data, we concluded that it just doesn't work as a primary metric in a large driver test. While we worked with Lou Stagner to enhance SG with additional penalties as the ball travels farther offline, in practice, there is a strong correlation with fairway percentage almost without regard for distance.
    With respect to Trip's comment there are a couple of points I should make. First, we don't use the PGA Tour tables. Instead, we use tables developed for scratch golfers. As it relates to higher handicap golfers - it's not a big deal. Effectively SG just sets a baseline for values, so while higher handicap golfers will produce lower SG scores, in our implementation, the best-performing clubs still produce higher scores. In that respect, the scale is almost arbitrary. It gives us a reasonable starting point. We've gone to great lengths in our methodology to neutralize the SG advantage of better/longer players. 
    I'm not going to get into the details, but the simple explanation is that Strokes Gained is typically used to compare performance difference between golfers. We've adapted it to compare differences between clubs for the individual golfer.
    While I think SG is incredibly useful in a driver demo/fitting scenario, in driver and fairway wood tests, you need additional insights.
    For our target-based tests (hybrids, irons, and wedges, we use Strokes Gained as our accuracy metric. In this scenario, there is a correlation with greens hit, however, SG is more effective because it also considers pin proximity and lie condition. We've looked at other metrics in isolation (pin proximity, greens hit) and they don't work nearly as well as SG in this scenario.
