  1. So everyone already mentioned my two choices, which are Tour Edge and Wilson. The better question may be if a brand has been well-known that they're underrated due to their overrated nature. Kinda like a post-hype sleeper player in fantasy sports.
  2. Steve, you've inspired me for a potential update for me this weekend... truly great work
  3. I mean I don't like to say that Steve is 100% right on with something, but he is right here. People have different incomes, different habits, and different everything, and arguing about it or complaining takes away from the enjoyment you find in what you do. Am I a cheapass who detests how expensive it is sometimes to play a round of golf on an average course near where I live? Admittedly, I am, but I also understand that it's better to do it for enjoyment than to complain about the cost of it. I saw this play out in court last week. There was an attorney who I know, and he had his Timex on, a simple little one, and everyone remarked on how functional it was. He mentioned that another colleague said he needed a Rolex or a Tag because that was what showed success. He turned the person and apparently said, 'they all tell the same time, right?' and they shared a laugh. At the end of the day, we're all working with different menus and different ingredients, but we're all just trying to make a meal out of life.
  4. So I'm not sure if anyone has been keeping track of this, but last week Pure Grips finally shut down after 15 years in business. A solid American-based grip company that popularized the idea of air pressure installation and is home to some of my favorite grips of all time in the Pure DTX, I was able to grab a couple of complete sets during the closing sale. Does anyone else have any memories or thoughts about Pure? I know there are users here on this very forum!
  5. Fair play, it's the ol' journalism and attorney double. I thought something was amiss because it seemed so weird for you to go two generations with the stuff that works and then a switch. That S is so good through the turf in that kind of 54/56 area that I'm not surprised that's where you landed, and good on you to keep doing what you're doing. It's too easy to get seduced by something new and different just because... especially in release szn.
  6. Rob, it's interesting that you've gone from D in both 54 and 58 to now S and K. What do you think necessitated the switch?
  7. Ok, so just so I'm clear as I'm trying to lock down some form of a plan for transportation before prices start to creep, the Vinterra round is scheduled for early arrivals on Thursday in place of RNK, right, or is Vinterra potential for Wednesday, arrivals with RNK being Thursday? I just wanna know so that way I can plan arrivals and whatnot.
  8. I hate the Commanders so much. Of all the teams as a young boy I chose to support why did it have to be them? I could have been a Bills fan or something else with a fun fanbase and hope, even if it gets crushed. Now I've suffered through the worst owner in professional sports and just when you think it's coming around the corner, that we're getting a young exciting head coach to lead the team into a new era of something at least resembling competitive and fun football... surprise, it's ol' 28-3 himself Dan Quinn. My excitement for this franchise in 2024 and the future just got kicked square between the legs. I hate you Commanders... so much
  9. So if that S grind is the same as the Tour Rack custom grind catalog, which it appears to be, this wedge is going to be a winner. However, since it is mid-bounce, it's just not something I'm in on, as my full sole S grind on the bigger bounce from Cleveland is where my strike pattern works best. That grind option though saved my short game and made me kinda retire the Smart Sole.
  10. Morning y'all. Happy to have a day away from the courthouse so I figured so take my car for some routine stuff this morning... turns out routine is not so routine. Brake pads and calipers are shot, which considering I've never changed calipers since buying the car and only pads once with almost 100K on it isn't bad. The downside. Between this and paying my deposit for Kingsmill today, we're looking at a 1500 dollar plus day... woooooo
  11. I'm hoping to put it through full paces for the month or so at a minimum to see what the gains are, and as someone who mentioned during my test of SuperSpeed that I sometimes had trouble with grip control, I'm really interested in seeing how it works. First blush, I know @cksurfdude said he jerry-rigged a version with pipe insulation, but this doesn't feel like that, it's a firm plastic molding. When I start the thread I'll try to make you feel what it feels like.
  12. As someone who is starting the Squeeze protocol and will be doing an unofficial review, I hope to have an intro post about this weekend; I will vouch for it so far as a good aid.
  13. So while I'm not watching the Big Break in prep, I am going through all the benefits I have for organizations and how best to make this a deal-driven vacation, luckily my American Outlaws US Soccer benefits gets me some cheaper car rental rates, so that's a fantastic way to go about it me thinks. As mentioned both in this thread and in our PM, the real benefit of this is the camaraderie, although I do hope to play better golf than at the initial appearance, as I only got it really going on the middle part of the final round. It's not the point really, but you want a good showing!
  14. As a benefit/deterrent, if we do the community with all if us on it on the trip, I will attempt to do it from the lazy river. Me in a swimsuit.... you've all been warned.
  15. Sup everyone, not a great night of sleep, but happier to know that I have a relatively easy day at work to ease me into the week... being what you could consider easy with family court and what not. Also, barring a scoring change happy to have won my work fantasy football league and secured a total payout of 190 bucks from the prize pool of 300. That'll go a good way toward something nice.
  16. So... I'm back in, only if we get access to that Lazy River, this guy needs sweet sweet tube float time after rounds.
  17. it's the actual morning, and it's going to be yet another fun day at court... this is my life, this is my decision. Do good work, best by everyone.
  18. hey everyone, good afternoon I guess. I do have an unofficial review I'm looking to get started this week so keep eyes peeled for that. Outside of that, working through my 2024 word that my family likes to do, consistency. Giving best ffort at work, doing all things as best as I can, and being open and available on a more regular basis.
  19. This was something I thought of a while back, so I'm bringing it back up again: box set test! Or if people are turned off by the idea of Box Set, go with Adams and their complete sets. One could imagine if Cobra Connect comes back again for another year, a competition between those who get fully fit out against those with Adams sets. Also, and I know it's not going to be for everyone, but with the Smart Speaker space growing and golf course music becoming slightly more commonplace, maybe something in that space like from Bushnell, Blue Tees or Precision Pro
  20. So, just to chime in here, I do think with what @GolfSpy_APH is saying here, we can hopefully get to something we discussed in the focus group, which was also the traction of these reviews. By a slower drip of reviews/demanding more engaging content/better quality of the reviewer pool/just less cramming of reviewers into a shorter time frame, it can allow those reviews that really can and should be driven and shaped by questions and thoughts of those reading along the ability to get more eyes and engagement in them, which should only make them better for those taking them on and more informative for those following. As someone who was involved in two recent reviews that seemingly went pear-shaped, one because the company shut down midway through, one due to some self inflicted issues and shortcomings, I understand both the concerns of the reader base and the mods for wanting to get this right and commend them for addressing this in such a manner and style to make sure it happens.
  21. To the new people in charge of this place, welcome and congrats. Keep on keeping on!
  22. No comment from me on my thread, but I will say I did like the functional break out of certain tests depending on selection of testers instead of one bulk thread, so a little pick and choose as to what you wanted to follow was excellent. Case in point, the OnCore threads were fun to track for looking specifically at the style of ball you were intrigued by.
  23. So for me I'll admit my bias and even though it has hampered by injuries, the SuperSpeed thread I thought had some really good content and posts from quite a few of us, but for most fun I'd say the Forum Match-Play thread. It was a nice clean fun time and well run in execution.
