Rookie, I've known you for nearly two years now and can safely say I don't believe this statement in the slightest You'll get the itch soon enough, I give it 3 months.

Walked 18 with my 9 year old son yesterday. The kid has stamina . He can also flush his driver every time. Once he gets his putting and short game in order he's going to start kicking ass. First time I've played this course from the blues and shot 90. I couldn't putt or chip for the life of me and definitely left a lot of shots on the table. My scorecard showed 76% of fairways hit and yet only 33% of GIR, bleh. Averaged 2.33 putts per GIR, bleh x2. I blame it on the 20+ mph winds we were having, the gusts were really bad. Had my first legitimate eagle attempt though. This par 5 plays at first uphill, then downhill. Hit my driver (uphill) a good 270 yards with a little help from the wind, then mishit my second shot, but was just 10 yards short of the green. Unfortunately I couldn't chip in or even chip close, so I took par. My other shot was a downhill par 3, 200 yards. Wind was to my back and you don't want to go long on this hole. I hit a perfect 6 iron draw that hit short of the green and rolled 10 yards past the hole . I missed my birdie putt, but saying I hit a 6i 200+ yards still made my day

I'm finally getting more friends playing golf. Last Sunday I played like crap and all my old bad habits returned. However, on the 9th we decided on a small wager, whoever scored the worst had to buy the round, so I flushed a 4i onto the green and two putted for par. The other two guys had to split the round with double bogeys each .

I honestly can't believe I was selected, thank you! This is going to be very interesting to see if TM's claims prove true for the 3 wood. Also, the 910h is going to be hard to beat. I'm very excited to be doing this. Guys, MBP and JBones set a very high bar for us. As has RB7, fsav, and nicsherman with the Carnahan wedge reviews. Also to those picked, don't forget to click the donate button . To all the above, please let us know what you would have done different and what you'd like to see. Thanks again, can't wait!

Also getting funn-ier

lol, been wondering the same thing.

I think the point is this shouldn't be viewed as a contest and more as a contract to do a lot of work. I wasn't around for it, but a long time ago MGS sent out a lot of gear and got very little feedback. That said, I'd be happy to participate in a review where the clubs are returned or forwarded to another member. The only issue here is that some of the testing does involve spending your own cash (i.e. renting a LM a few times can easily run $80). Obviously this doesn't compare to the real cost of the club, but for something you don't keep it'd be hard to persuade reviewers to fork over cash like that.

+10. I didn't measure how long it took because it was pretty spread out, but it was a lot of work and I still walked away feeling it wasn't as good as what the MGS staff produce. They don't get nearly enough props for what they do (and I'm not saying this to be a suckup. I'll be pretty happy if TM just chooses "better players" for this round since that's where their claims about +10 yards come from)

In fairness to TM, never once did they contact us in any way for the RBladez reviews and thus in no way can they be accused of attempting to coerce the results. I'm curious what shaft make RP was talking about, though I've heard of this happening and will say I've lost all respect for said company.

I'm not sure how you use the internet without knowing about Kate Upton . I'm not sure she bumps off Laetitia Casta as my all time favorite, but she's up there!

Last I checked, my handicap was a 19. It may have dropped a point-ier or two since, but GolfShot is broken-ier and keeps telling me I'm a +10, which is really hard if you only get one birdie per round . I'm currently playing a TM RBZ Tour 3-wood with a Black Ops shaft and Titleist 910H with KBS Hybrid shaft. Both are stiff (stiffi-er?). There are two things I'm interested in with the new version: 1) Can I get the same distance as my current clubs with an easier-ier swing? 2) I'm a sucker for adjustability and swappable shafts and like how 2.0 has this. I mean, RBZ 2.0 fairway with a Black Ops shaft or Hybrid with KBS Shaft? Sweet idea. Unlike their irons (edit: prior to the Rbladez), I do think TM makes great woods and would happy see if RBZ vs RBZ 2.0 really adds 10 yards. I'll even photoshop in Kate Upton for a good measure-ier. Then again, if it turns out TM is full-ier of s***, I'm happy to say that too! I don't think so since the RBZ 1.0 was something like .822 COR and the 2.0 is at the max. This was totally intentional-ier on TM's part. As an aside, an IER is an information exchange report in my field. Usually used in experiments to document communication between different entities on the battlefield. In open research (no classifications), these are really hard to come by, so if the 2.0 spits these out, that'd be awesome. Imagine being forced to golf in order to get my work done? I can dream

I know you're a +2, but holy #@$&, a 6.5 driver? Is this for LDA?

You don't need them. They're useful for getting to a certain swing weight if you already know what you want. Plus, since it's really easy to remove and reinstall an iron shaft, it's not too hard to play around with weights.

I swear anyone using this during a casual round would get an 8i shaped dent in their head very quickly. I know that's not the point you made Frank, I'm just adding it though
