    GilB got a reaction from EugeGall in Seven wood anyone?   
    I've been using a 7-wood for over 15 years. I love the ease of hitting this club with consistent height, distance, and forgiveness. And, it provides a sense of confidence that I never had with the longer irons. By the way, the 7-wood is an older Cleveland Launcher that will never, ever leave my bag.

    GilB got a reaction from Billy Mike in Seven wood anyone?   
    I've been playing an older Cleveland Launcher 7-wood for years and would never, ever let that club out of my bag. I suggest you latch onto a new 7-wood the first chance you get. The ball flight will be high, long, and land softly. You may get differing opinions but I strongly suggest you give it a try.

    I'm gaming the Tour Edge C723 with the C722 as a backup. Love both of these as I play around with different head/shaft combinations.

    I've been playing the Tour Edge C721 driver with the factory installed regular flex Ventus shaft. At 72, I put my ego aside and bought the Ventus senior flex shaft and the appropriate adapter and butt trimmed it down to a comfortable 44 1/2" total length. I easily added 10 yards to my drives with tighter dispersion. I enjoyed the outcome so much I'm going to toy around with other drivers I have to see the outcome. Try it folks.

    I would love to test this driver against my new Tour Edge C723 and see how it stands up against a very underrated Tour Edge product. By the way, when MGS first came about I relinquished my spot as a tester for the new Titleist golf balls when I was chosen to test them and had to pass it up because of a scheduled surgery. This is just a part of why I became a member here. Classy site and testing data with classy members.

    GilB got a reaction from No3PuttLaLa in What is everyone’s wedge setup   
    Other than the standard(if there's such a thing) PW, I game the Cleveland RTX 50*, 56* LB, and the 58*LB. Love them all. For me, I'm thinking about getting rid of one of my hybrids and putting in a 52* also. A lot of the games activity is close to the green anyway so why not put a club in your hand that you feel is the best for a given circumstance.

    I hit 72 last year and playing from the whites. I finally left my ego in the car and moved up to the yellow tee markers and the game has become a lot more fun. Driver and iron on the par 4's and irons/hybrid on par 3's is now the norm. We all get older, and shorter so be honest with yourself and have fun with the greatest game ever invented.

    I very much enjoy the testers feedback on their items. Some info will lead me to try certain things, others not.

    Aside from the PW, I game the Cleveland ZipCore 50*, 56*, and the 58*. I never liked the look of a 60* and lacked the confidence to hit it.

    GilB got a reaction from Merlin1313 in Why did you join MGS?   
    Obviously, we agree to disagree. When I first got on the site many, many years ago I was asked to take part in testing some new Titleist golf balls and I notified the administrator(s) of the test that I could not take part as I was having shoulder surgery and could not give the balls the test that was required. They thanked me and assured me that I would be on some sort of list to take part in a future test after I healed. I haven't heard anything since. I just figured they moved on and wanted feedback from younger golfers. After that experience I just read and enjoy the reviews from other testers on new products and concluded the senior experience is of no value in the testing process. That's just my experience and harbor no ill will towards anyone. Again, it's just my experience and we agree to disagree.

    There have been many changes in forum staff so that could be the reason why. Has absolutely nothing to do with age, i can assure you of that.
    However we have a ton of senior or older golfers who test. 
    In the end is is simple. Get involved, be active and that helps better anyone's chances.

    I initially joined to see how well they would evaluate golf products without bias and to see if I would be selected as a tester for one of the new products. I'm impressed with their evaluations and disappointed by not being selected after all these years as a tester. I guess they really don't care about the seniors getting involved in the evaluation and feedback process. I'm not complaining, just an opinion.

    I start the new round with a new ball and if I didn't lose the ball from the previous round, that's my "water ball" meaning if there's a water hole coming up that'll be the ball for that hole.
