  3. Bandit golf ball. I know it's illegal but I'm curious about the numbers. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  4. I bought some MG'S once. Wish the box would of least been taped shut. I spilled the balls all over the place. But, as it comes to the balls, I really like them. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  5. Lately, I have been buying components and club making supplies. As soon as I get a workbench I'm going to start building. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  6. Please read my reply to Kenny B. I think this may answer your question. If not, let me know. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  7. Ok. I'm glad you pointed this out. This like I said was my first review. So, this is the mistake I did make. Using different putters. I should of used the same. But, when I received the grip, all I could think of at first was I need to install this and get started because I didn't want to fail. The putter I used the Forward grip on had a Super Stroke slim 1.0 on it. To compare the two, if you try to hold the Forward grip in the same position as a standard grip it will bring the heel of the putter off the ground. That's why I stated it brings your hands closer to your body. And as I think of it now, it may cause your upper body to lean more forward bringing your eyes more over the ball. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  8. I agree. I was fairly new when I had this opportunity and hoping one day I'll get another chance. It seemed no one read the review, so I'm not sure if I did well or not. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  9. The Forward grip was my first and only review I've done so far since I've joined. I believe I did a good job on my review, however some of the group did not complete theirs. So, as a group I feel we failed. I'm wondering if any of you have read the review. I'd at least like to know if I did a good job. I'd appreciate any feedback, good or bad. Thank you.

  11. I'd love to participate, but I think I won't be golfing much till April. Sounds great through and I hope it's successful. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  12. Two years ago I flipped a 4 wheeler. Nothing exciting. I wasn't going fast I just tried to turn it to hard. I was able to jump off, roll once (like a dive roll) and ended up on my feet. Hence forth, I was know as SuperDave. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app

  17. I have yet to purchase anything that I have read about on MyGolfSpy. I did have the pleasure to review a Forward putter grip that I do like. Plans to purchase one as soon as I find my new putter to put it on. The one I have now is slowly improving my putting as I get more use to it. I also plan to purchase some Kirkland Signature golf balls. I don't think these will better my game except make it more fun knowing I'm not paying a fortune on golf equipment on a game I love to play. MyGolfSpy has been a big influence in my game.

  18. Good investigating, thanks Foz. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  19. I agree. I was using a softer ball cause I sliced bad of the tee and they were suppose to go straighter. Didn't help. It was just my outside, inside swing. My swing is better now, at least off the tee and short irons. I don't have big distance, but that doesn't matter right now to me. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  20. Well people say since I'm not very good, I should be using a softer ball because I get more distance and what not. But, to me the distance isn't a big difference. I have friends that are better than me and use ProV's and still can't stick it on the green as well as me. My only real problem is my long irons. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  21. I'm currently a 23 Handicap. I don't feel I always play like one, but that's what my app says. However, I play a urethane ball and do pretty well with it. I can stick it on the green good. At least when I hit the green. Most people would say I should be using a surlyn cover. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  22. Stage 3: I've had the Forward putter grip for awhile now. I've used it for at least 10 rounds. My putting is back to what it was before I started using this grip. Maybe even slightly better. I'm going to stick with the Forward. I believe as I keep using it, I will keep improving. So much, in the last 2 hours, I purchased a Odyssey Toe Up #1 putter and a new Forward grip to put on it. I think this is the beginning of a long relationship.
  23. Stage 2: Review of Forward Putter Grip by Forward Golf Markham, Ontario, Canada Performance For weeks now, I have had the pleasure of testing a new kind of putter grip called Forward grip. I had the grip installed at my local Golf Exchange. I was told the installation was simple. No different than a traditional grip except for the shaft goes up the back of the grip instead of the center. As I held the grip, it had a very nice, soft feel to it. Holding at address, it seemed to bring the hands closer to my body. As you can see in two pictures I have here. One (with my hat on backwards) I'm using a Winn Tour Jumbo grip. Hands are more away from my body. The other (hat on Forward) I'm using the Forward grip and my hands are closer to my body Out on the course, our big question is going to be. Will this grip help sink more putts? For me, it's a no. It's about the same. My average putts per hole went up slightly from 1.89 to 2. For my putts in the short to medium range (5' to 15') I sunk the same amount of putts. From long range (20' +), which I never sink many of these anyways, I missed farther away. Instead of missing within 5', I was outside of that, a lot. Until my last review round. All long range putts only missed by inches. I'm not sure what changed. Could it be, it just took a few rounds to get use to a new grip. Possibly? Prior to this review, I was using a Winn Tour Jumbo Pistol. Even though my putts with either grip are basically identical, if I had to chose one grip or the other. I would choose the Forward grip. On feel alone. I need to give this grip a score of up to 60 points on performance. From installation to the 18th green. I'll give it 30 out of 60. Looks & Durability This category is one I'm more excited about. The appearance of this grip is strange, awkward looking. It's made with a lean ' Forward' making a different shaped grip, as you can see from some pictures I took. One comparing the Forward grip to others. As a funny note, when I first saw the grip, I thought it was warped or defective. As I stare at the grip, it reminds me of tread on a tire. Don't let that scare you, It's not hard rubber. As I stated before, I believe it has an exceptional soft feel. The over all look is nice. I think it would look great in a variety of colors. Another good question to ask is. How long will it last? To be honest, in my opinion, if you take care of this grip like you should. I believe it will for a very long time. At roughly, $25 a piece, we know durability is important and I think this one will do just that. Other than the lean forward and the tire tread look, the grip also has a deep V or U shape (picture down below). This is something I like as well. Even for a person with smaller hands like me, it feels great and comfortable to hold on too. So here I have 25 points for the looks and durability. To put it simply, I love the look and feel of this grip. I give it 25 out of 25 points. Likelihood of Purchase Now this is a tough category. We have to look at it in two ways, from two perspectives. First, the if I've never seen or heard of this putter grip. I just ran across it on the internet. I'm thinking it has a weird, but interesting look to it. It looks like tread on tires. I'm not sure about purchasing one of these yet. I'd to read some reviews. Matter of fact, I'll get on MyGolfSpy and see what those guys have to say about this grip. Hopefully, our reviews will help you in your decision. Second, I've seen this grip first hand. I got to try it out a few times, review it. I would absolutely buy one of these. I know the performance for me is similar compared to other grips I've used, but I really love the feel. I may just purchase a new putter for next season just so I can put a Forward grip on it. Now I have 15 points to give for this category. With both perspectives in mind I can only give it 10 out of the 15 points. Conclusion & Final Score After having the Forward grip installed, I was like a kid with a shiny new toy. Every where I went, I showed everyone who would look. At work, the bowling alley and yes, the golf course(s). I had some rough rounds while reviewing the grip. Every shot I took, I was thinking how the putter grip will perform? Will I like it? Will I give it a good or bad review? And probably, like most, I don't want to give it a bad one. But, if I have too, it will be done. So, I wandered the courses like Dorothy in Oz (except I never want to go home) in search of answers. I found them, time and time again. About 36 times to be exact (2 putt average per hole). After many questions, on that 72nd green, I came to the conclusion. So, I went to the 73rd hole, we more commonly refer to as the 19th and pondered one last question. Could this be the future of golf grips? As a lot of people say, I look "Forward" to the future. So maybe, for putter grips, it's already here. Thank you. Final score: 65 out of 100
  24. Stage 1: As of now my Handicap is about 23, but I have been shooting better lately. My putting I think is good. Averaging 2 putts or less a hole. However, when I miss, I push my putts to the right. Hoping this Forward grip will help. In the picture I'm providing, you'll see 3 different grips. As you can guess the Forward grip is on the left. You can see that big lean "forward". I'm sorry that I didn't get a pre-installed pic. As you may be able to tell, the shaft is towards the back of the grip. The grip has nice soft feel in the hands. But, as you take your stance, it feels different.
  25. I did not read the cart bag review. However, in my own personal opinion, if you want a neutral bag. As I also did, Ogio makes some nice ones. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
