Has anyone had success getting a response from Arccos customer service? My Link stopped working and its been more than week since I called and sent an email with no response. It seems shady to me that there is no way to cancel the subscription on the website, you have to send them an email requesting the cancelation and I haven't gotten a response to that in 2 days either.

If you want more storage, yes

I'm 43 and the past few years I have switched to a yellow ball for the fall and winter because I couldn't see the white ball. Now I am sticking with a yellow ball all year round and it is so much easier to see.

Rain gear reviews understandably always seem to focus on jackets. I'd like to see more info on rain pants.

My experience at the pro shop at Fort Belvoir is that they usually charge retail for clubs. They usually don't have much club inventory, but will order whatever you want. I would suggest calling the course closest to you. If you are looking for a military specific club discount the PXG Heroes program is the best out there. https://www.pxg.com/en-us/heroes

I've been using the caddy towel for years. Simply wet one side for clubs and ball then throw it over the top of the bag leaving the dry side for hands and face. The one I'm using right now was tie dyed. https://www.amazon.com/McArthur-Ribbed-Caddy-Towel-White/dp/B0891N6X5X/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=caddy%2Bgolf%2Btowel&qid=1684356001&sr=8-6&th=1

I'm all for anything that makes the game more enjoyable and brings people in. If its not a competition round I think its a good idea for a casual beginner.

I received it last week and took it. I thought the questions were interesting, I'm curious to see the results

@Prodigal Duffer, I agree. After the first few holes with the X1 I had a lot of confidence, feeling that I knew exactly what the ball would do in terms of ball flight and landing.

Just on looks and feel they seem just as good as a ProV1 and I'm all about saving $15

I usually snack on peanut butter crackers or nuts throughout the round, sometimes pack a peanut butter sandwich. but if I stop for a snack at the turn it's always a hotdog

Hi everyone, first thank you to MGS and OnCore for choosing me as a tester, this is my first time being a MGS tester and I am looking forward to it. I am a recreational golfer in Northern Virginia that typically gets out twice a week either by myself or with friends, currently playing to about a 9 handicap. I have played golf off and on most of my life and really getting back into it the past 4 years or so. The strengths of my game are driving through irons, short game is my downfall. I chose the Vero X1 because it seems to most closely align with what I currently play. I am very curious to test their claim about decreasing driver side spin by 60% and if that actually means anything. Currently I am playing the Maxfli Tour after playing the Snell MTB for a few years. I am mostly planning on comparing the OnCore ball to those and I’ll throw in the ProV. I plan on playing one of my standard gamers next to the OnCore on the course using Arccos. For OnCore (or any ball) to become my regular gamer it will either need to offer better performance than my current Maxfli or the same performance at a better price. I generally follow the philosophy of starting at the green and working back to the tee when gauging a golf ball. I will be looking for how it feels off the putter, feel and controllable spin in the short game, consistency and control in the mid and long irons, consistency and distance while keeping an eye on how much it moves side to side with the driver. I will also take note of it’s durability. I am looking forward to receiving the balls, getting started and keeping everyone updated on how it goes! Unboxing: They are here!! With an extra dozen Vero X1’s included so that’s a nice surprise. My first impression from opening the box is that this is a premium ball with the packaging being on par with most tour level balls. The logo and alignment mark are pleasing to my eye. They are understated, but unique without being too big like some DTC brands (original Snell). This may just be a weird quirk of mine, but when I hold two Vero X1’s in my hand like baoding balls they feel very similar to a ProV1. I don’t have any way to quantify this, but some balls just feel better than others and this is a good one. I’ve got 54 holes on the books this weekend and I’m excited to get these bad boys on the course. Hopefully I don’t go through all 3 dozen! TESTING: I was able to get 3 rounds in this weekend playing the Vero X1 and I am very impressed. The weather was a mix of sun, wind and light rain so I was able to see it perform in a variety of conditions. Initially I took the X1’s to the practice green to see how they roll and immediately liked them. They feel solid, not too mushy and not too clicky. The feel gave me confidence that the ball will roll true and the results showed that to be the case, not wobbling off line and provided repeatable distance control on putts. I never felt that a ball would come off of the putter face too hot or too soft. Once on the course I immediately enjoyed using the X1. Off the tee with the driver, the ball has a boring trajectory that holds it’s line (within reason) through the wind and has excellent run out in the fairway. Comparing it to the Maxfli Tour; the distance is about the same (which is excellent) and it rolls out about 5 yards longer. There isn’t much that feels better than a well struck 7 iron and the X1 feels very solid off of the irons. The ball jumps off the face with a very pleasing boring trajectory and never ballooning in the wind while landing softly. The ball seems to stay on line in the wind. I noticed that when I was intentionally playing a curved shot that the ball seemed to move slightly less than the Maxfli Tour or ProV1 and was slightly less affected by wind, regularly moving less than I planned for on the shot. So far I have found the short game performance of the X1 to be excellent. It has a consistently crisp feel and produces consistent results. After a few holes I became very confident with the ball to be very consistent in distance and to launch with whatever trajectory I am looking for with that shot. On normal shots it lands, one or two hops and stops, which is exactly what I am looking for. The durability of the X1’s seems to be very good. The only significant cover damage I found was a particularly wild shot that hit the cart path, bounced off a tree, then landed in a bunker and I don’t think any ball would be coming out of that unharmed. Unfortunately I proceeded to hit the next shot in the drink before I thought to take a photo and I can confirm that the X1’s do not float. I am using Tony’s Lab on damaged balls to hypothesise that the scuff is why it went for a swim instead of me trying a hero shot, chunking it and coming up 30 yards short. I used these 2 balls for 18 holes and they seem very close to brand new, so they feel like they will hold up like other tour balls. At this point in testing I am very happy with the OnCore Vero X1. I am looking forward to continuing the testing, but so far I would have no problem making it my regular gamer.

how's the app coming?

Green dot to the right of the number and green smiley face in the empty section.

I have always had the same issue with hybrids. I put some lead tape on the toe and it helped a lot. Much of that result may be psychological though...

Take him for a fitting

Update: I pulled the trigger on a refurbished Precision Pro NX9 with slope. I've used it twice and I highly recommend it, it seems brand new and works extremely well.

How about WeatherCaddy?

Has anyone bought a refurbished rangefinder? What was your experience? They seem to be available for about half the cost as new.

I got this bag last summer and the blue sections look brand new, but the white shows stains and discoloration even though I've sprayed it with scotch guard. I still love the bag, but if you are a neat freak I'd recommend a dark color.

I don't think I'd want to be friends with a guy that cheats to get $20 out of his "friends" so I'd just stop playing with him. But I like the idea mentioned of keeping a separate handicap just for your money games.

0.25 rounds

Thank you!

I always kept my putter with my driver, but when I got a new Ping Hoofer bag last season the dividers changed from 4 spaces in my old Hoofer to 5 spaces I moved it to the bottom with the wedges in the largest space.
