Hey everyone!  Just wanted to let you know what's in the works.  I'm currently trying to work with some local golf courses to allow me to setup the net on their driving range.  Why you ask?  I want to test if you truly hit a BAD shot, how well will the SPG8 XL handle it.  Try to push the limits of how bad does it have to be before the net doesn't catch it.  I want to do this in a safe location so when I hit one where the net doesn't catch, I'm not at risk at paying for damages. 🙂   If this plan fails, I do have a back-up option.
In the meantime, is there anything specific that you guys want us to try, test, show that we haven't already?

An update from this weekend - I’ve been keeping track of how many balls I’ve hit on one of those clicker counters:

The good: every ball I’ve hit has hit some part of the net, and not damage to walls, ceiling, or garage objects has been seen (yet).
The bad-ish: ~6% of my hits have bounced out from the net and sent me chasing them down in the garage. I suspect this is due in no small part to the concrete floor and won’t be an issue when I migrate the net to the lawn outside. However, the product claims of “Automatic Ball Return to your feet for constant practice” and “Ball rolls gently down not touching the floor” have not been true in all cases for me this far.
The ugly: I spent a session outside at my usual range to see how things were progressing. Unfortunately, I realized that I’ve fallen into a few bad swing habits using the net resulting in a slice in my more trustworthy clubs that I didn’t have before. This was noticeable and corrected for at the range, but I haven’t had the “instant feedback on your shots” claimed by the product.
Overall, I’m still happy with the net but it’s going to require significantly more mindful use than I’ve been exercising thus far.
Lastly, I clunked a club against the garage door tracks last week. Not wanting to do that again, I picked up a foam HVAC insulation tube for $3 at Home Depot and cut to fit. So far, problem solved!

Spornia SPG8 XL Htting Net Intro by Golfspy_CG2
A bit late to the party here with my intro, but I’m guessing many of you already know as much about me as you care to.   But for the newcomer, I’ll try not to bore you too much.
My name is Rob, the screen name is a shortened version of CarolinaGolfer2, which was my screen name before becoming a staff member.   By day, I’m the Tournament Sales Director at a 36-hole course in Maryland.  I run over 150 outing a year and it keeps me very busy.   But somehow, I have managed to play a fair amount of golf, and demo a few clubs here and there 😊
My experience in the industry has allowed me to take some fantastic trips to most of the major OEM’s and attend the PGA Show just about every year (pre covid) and meet some incredibly smart and wonderful industry people. 
I found the site in  a bit different way than others who found it searching reviews of clubs.  in 2016,  I came across a rather “spirited” twitter exchange between Adam and someone.   I found Adam’s points very strong but very well made and seemed to make sense to me.   Prior to that I had only heard of MyGolfSpy as being a rogue site that specialized in putting out leaked or unauthorized photos of new equipment.    Just goes to show, you certainly can’t believe everything you read on the internet, especially when it’s a competing website/forum.
So, I took a look at the article in question, can’t recall what it was now, but it was typical MGS style, making you not take for granted what the industry has always said.   I noticed the forum tab and jumped over there.  I found it to be very friendly, but also very lacking in participation.  I mean I read pretty much 4 months’ worth of posts within the first couple hours, and a couple days in, I had read pretty much everything back for several years.   You could go an entire day on the forum and see maybe 40 or 50 posts in the entire forum.    My how things have grown and changed.
I was lucky enough to be picked for a test after about two weeks of being a member, I was shocked.  It was for the Precision Pro Golf Band.  An early version of a GPS watch, although it was more of a Fit Bit style than watch.  About 6 months later I was one of the original Evnroll Testers along with @jlukes@revkev and @fozcyclewhich was a great experience, and really confirmed to me what a great community this was.
I first became a staff member in 2017, I believe and a year later became Co Director of the Forum with @studque.   Last year, I stepped back from the role as a full-time volunteer staff member, due to the workload at my day job.   But I have stayed on to help with things like the Major Contests or any other special contests/projects that may come up. 
 

I have said many times over and over, the members here are the best asset we have.  They require very little moderation and allow the staff time to focus on things they want to do to try and make it the best forum in the industry.  I have met many members and made several friends here, I travelled to Ohio to join s small group there for a round of golf and some incredible pizza!  I played with member @newballcoach  in Canada @azstu324 on a trip to PHX and @fozcycle joined me for a round in Florida.  I’m currently organizing a stay/play regional outing in Maryland in August where I’m looking forward to meeting at least 20 or more MGS’ers!  
I have tested many clubs for MGS over the years, but I’m really looking forward to this Spornia net, as it will provide me the opportunity to test our various sets of clubs on my Mevo.  So it really weill serve many purposes from practice to club testing.  
Let the Fun Begin!
So not havng any cute kids or pets to share pictures of, I'll show the unassembled net along side my pride and joy bags 🙂   All of these plus a couple not shown sets will be put the net to the test!
 
 
 
 

When I reached out to customer service they suggested using a book ring or something like that to pull the netting close together… uh huh…. Seems to be a known issue. I’m going to try and figure out some sort of fix w velcro strips. Will post picts if it works.

Great video @goaliewales14! I can honestly say you showed me something I hadn't thought about in putting the net back in the carrying case. I'll usually hold the net between my legs and bring the bag in from the top, I haven't tried leaving it on the ground before. That looks so much easier to do. 
Keep up the great work everyone!

You've heard about the takedown process and what better way than to show you!  I would HIGHLY recommend watching the YouTube video first before doing this, otherwise I feel like it won't make as much sense.  Once you have it down, it's very quick.  My only negative comments would be when you're putting the net back into the bag, the net can catch onto the velcro straps that help close the bag.  I feel like this could lead to some fraying of the net.  If it had a drawstring, I feel like it would be much easier.  It actually may not even need anything given the weight of the net.  The SPG8 continues to impress me though!!
 
 

Hey everyone!  Wanted to give some comments on my first hits into the SPG8 XL.  The thing I'm really impressed with is the height of this net!  In the pictures below I'm hitting a 3/4 9i and you'll notice that with the SPG8 the shot hits right on the bottom of the target.  With my old net, it hits almost at the top of the net.  The biggest issue with some of the nets I've seen in the past is you can't hit any wedges at all, including PW.  I'm only using P760s, so it's nothing the launches super high or anything.  The other thing that I love is that if you were to accidentally get too close to the net, you won't structurally damage the net with a normal swing.  With the dome style, there's a very good chance you'll hit a support pole and break the whole thing.  Here, you'll just hit netting.

Great video thanks for that ... I have to say however that the entire time I watched it I kept hearing the Benny Hill theme playing in my head. 🤪

Hey everyone!  For the "unboxing/setup" of the SPG8 net, I thought it would be fun to do a side-by-side video with commentary to break everything down.  
 
 
Here's the spark notes version of the video in case you just want a quick overview:
Total Setup Time My net ~ 8 mins SPG8 ~ 13 mins (~10 mins w/out chipping net) Super easy to setup! Instructions need to be updated to include chipping net and "support strings on the side" Felt like it's missing 2 stakes for the support strings Overall great product so far and look forward to continue the test!!

I heard back about an estimated shipping date.  They said they expect it should ship within the next two weeks.  So that would be 4-5 weeks since I submitted the order.

Hi everyone, my name is John, I’m 67 years old and live in North Myrtle Beach, SC. I love golf, so I consider myself very fortunate to not only live in such a golf crazed part of the country, but to also live and be a member in Barefoot Resort&Golf, a community with 4 excellent courses. One of them (the Love) was featured on a season of The Big Break a few years ago, and another (The Dye) is the home of The Monday After The Masters, a celebrity Pro Am run by my club and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Like everyone else who has ever been selected as a tester here, I’m both incredibly grateful, and nervous about making sure I give this product, the site, my fellow Spies and most of all L.A.B. Golf a fair and honest review. I’m going to try and do my best with that, I only ask for your patience with the fact that I’m not very savvy with my computer skills. Posting pictures and imbedding files are things I’ll be learning on the fly here.
I’ve been dealing with a leg issue, and an episode of sciatica lately so I haven’t been able to play recently, but I’m sure a few of you have read about my escapades in the “How did you play?” thread. Normally I’m playing 3-4 times a week in both leagues and money games. I’ll also play a few local tournaments per year. My game has suffered a bit over the last year or so due to both injury and trying to find equipment (irons especially), and my handicap although beginning to trend down again, was as high as I can remember until just before this leg thing happened. The equipment issue came about when I decided it was time to move into Senior flex shafts throughout my bag. I’m still not sure I did the right thing at the right time, but whatever… let’s talk putting.
I used a Yes! Tracy for many years and finally switched to the wide blade models when Odyssey came out with one about 3 years ago. I’ve since tried the same style in a Ping Kushion 4.0, and just recently a White Hot OG. I’m a very confident putter, and consider it the clear strength of my game. That said, I can be very streaky. I think a good way to describe my putting is to tell you that when I play a scramble format with my usual 3 partners, I’m the shortest hitter and the highest cap. I’m the one who hits the “safe lay up” first so they can try the hero shot.  When we get on the green though, the roles are reversed and I’m the one who putts last, in the pressure spot.
As for the DF2.1 putter, I chose it over the Mezz because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I’ve never really played a mallet putter other than giving one a few rolls in a store or practice green. The DF2.1 story makes sense to me, and it’s the flagship putter for L.A.B., so I figured in for a dime, in for a dollar… go big or go home.
I placed my order on 5/20 after receiving the following specs 34” and 65* lie. I ordered the BGT Stability back shaft with the LH offset grip they offer and a custom sight line.
More to follow ( including pictures) soon!
 

Thanks to MGS for the opportunity to review this exciting new concept in putter technology. Like many here I was clicking on MGS’s review offerings, never fully realizing the actual ramifications of being chosen. Now I’ve got to produce a cognitive, semi-literate explanation of why I like or dislike the L.A.B. Directed Force 2.1 putter, to thousands of y'all. The pressure I have placed upon myself is similar to being paired with the +4 handicap golfer (that’s better than scratch), and having to follow him off the tee. When you have to follow a player who smashes their driver 80 yards further than you, all muscle memory disappears ... all mental shot processing gets blurry ... and all I can think is, “don’t be a pussy. KILL it.” And of course thats when I roll it 30 yards.
Being selected has caused me to obsess over my putting ability ... I have been analyzing my misses. The question is: is it the putter or is it operator error? 
4th. ... Miss-reading the speed: a lag putt that rolls 15 feet past the cup. 
3rd. ... Chickening out: afraid my putt is going to end up 15 feet past the cup, and then leaving it 10 feet short. 
2nd. ... Read the break wrong. 
And my #1 miss: ... Hand movement off my putting plane ... which I believe causes a myriad of my misses. This is where I want to see how the DF 2.1 impacts my game. This is where I might be able to see improvement ... and it happens to be the number one selling point of this putter, by the way. It is supposed to be easier to keep square and provide forgiveness on miss hits. I’m genuinely looking forward to using it.
 I spent all winter trying to stop my hands from drifting off line, on my BirdieBall green with tracks I added. And I was happy with those efforts resulting in 28-32 putts per round this Spring.

I am 65 yrs old and I play 54-72 holes per week at Marietta Country Club in Southeastern Ohio. I've only been playing now for about 3 years because I was forced to take a 14 year hiatus from golf due to severe chronic pain. Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar surgeries all traded one pain for a another, more intense pain ... and my knees were bad, too. Eventually, I had one of my knees replaced and suddenly I started wanting to be active again. Pretty soon I pulled out one of my dusty old clubs and started swinging in the backyard. I bought a net, a mat, and that old fire for the game came roaring back. I was an 18 handicapper when I received my test putter.
I wanted to be a PGA Professional when I was 22, back in 1979. I spent a year as an apprentice. Unfortunately, the pay was so bad ($3 hr), I barely survived the season, and then had to find alternate income for the winter months. I started a club repair business, which was making me enough money that I didn’t want to go back to $3 hr. My plan then was to bank a little money for a few years, and then get back into the apprentice program. What I didn’t foresee was falling for a girl and getting married. She was a teacher with summers off, and she did not like the idea of me having an opposite seasonal work schedule. So instead I went back to college and embarked on a career in print design and publishing. I’ve got to add that I had recurring golf nightmares for 10 years after getting out of the industry. They always centered around me sneaking in to play in a golf tournament, being discovered, and then being chased off the golf course by the gallery. 
My game is getting better. My handicap is slowly dropping ... I get it to 16. my back gives me fits, and then it starts creeping up again. My enjoyment for the game is as strong as it ever was. Now I gotta get that other knee done ... and my ankle ... and my trigger fingers. Damn, I'm getting old.

Introduction
Hello Spies!
This is my 4th Official Review for MyGolfSpy.  First, I tested the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV golf balls.  Next I tested the Cleveland Frontline Elevado Putter.  Then I tested the SuperSpeed system.  You might ask, “Why is this guy testing another putter after the Elevado?”  Good question!  Given the overarching scope of my golf game, putting is the weakest part.  I say that half tongue-in-cheek (I’ve recently been putting very well with my Odyssey Ten S putter…).   No matter how you measure it, whether it be strokes gained, percentage of putts made from various distances compared to a pro, etc., its’ just not a strong part of my game.  Granted, up until recently I wasn’t actually spending much time if any practicing putting.  I like to try out new putters from time to time.  I keep them on a rotation and if one starts acting up, they hit the bench for a while to think about what they’ve done and another putter gets into the starting lineup.  I tend to have way too many 3putts and historically just don't make much inside of 8ft on the first putt.  There isn't much more frustrating than stuffing a bunch of wedges to 5ft - 10ft and missing the birdie, or missing a 3ft par saver.

I’ve always been interested in trying the L.A.B. putters as the technology seems interesting.  I just couldn’t get past the price point and, to be honest, the looks of the Directed Force 2.1 putter.  Well what better time to try it out then when it’s on the house!
I’m currently the Director of Player Development and Internships for a Professional Golf Management Program at a University.  I’ve been a professor in Higher Education for the past 8yrs and took this job in the Fall of 2021.  Golf is obviously a passion of mine and I decided to make it my career.  I’m also starting to work on my own PGA Associate program this Summer to be come a PGA Member.  Part of that was passing the Player Ability Test.  This is a 36 hole stroke play event where you have to shoot within 15 strokes of the course rating in an official competition.  This typically comes out to 155-159.  I completed it on my first attempt.  Apparently less than 5% of people do that, so my game is in a good spot right now.  I’m putting well, hitting driver well, etc.  The Odyssey Ten S was the putter I used, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. 
Once I obtain PGA Membership, I'd like to play in some competitive Section events.  As such, putting is going to need to get much tighter to be able to compete at the level I want.  The scores below were with five 3putts on the day and falling asleep on the final nine holes.

I’m most excited to see how much better of a putter I can be with this L.A.B. Directed Force 2.1 putter.  My former club fitter said that this thing is basically a cheat code and to get the Directed Force 2.1 if I had a choice.  I went with it, against my wishes, and am going to be using the LA Golf P-Series 135 shaft in black.  I hope I can get past the looks of the thing, but hey, if it drains putts, who cares!
I plan to do some strokes gained analysis comparisons along with other types of tests (make rate % across various days on the putting green, rounds of golf, etc.).  I’ll also get on GC Quad or Trackman and do some stroke analyses as well.
I look forward to this and I hope this L.A.B. will be staying in the bag long term!

Ahoy! 
  This is crazy-exciting! Long-time reader, first-time tester, and couldn't be more thrilled to have been chosen for this particular test, especially as putting is one of those things on my "get better at" list (along with, in no particular order: driving (a golf ball), chipping, talking less, woodworking, driving (a car), swimming, eating one portion, growing hair on my head, growing less hair on my back, and maths).
  As you may have noticed, I'm a bit of a talker, so I'll try to keep things relatively focused 😜 

  I'm located in the Santa Clarita Valley (about 40 minutes north of Downtown Los Angeles), where I've got a tremendously boring office job where I type a whole lot, but luckily get to do it from home, which is awesome.  I've got two awesome kids, the youngest of whom is legitimately obsessed with golf, which has been super fun to watch grow and attempt to foster.  My oldest mostly just rolls her eyes and says "ugh, golf again?" whenever it's on the TV, so...she might be a tougher sell.  My wife is a pretty extraordinary human, who tolerates my golf obsession as best she can, and tries to encourage me to get out at least once a week to play 18 or get some legit practice in.  She also cooks well.  And is really pretty.  (All true, but also just in case she reads this, I want her feeling great about her tolerance 😘 ). Honestly, though, she's been such a fan of this site, as it's really allowed me to find a lot of like-minded folks who love to talk all things golf.  
 Golf has always been an interest, but I would say only in the last five years or so has it become something that I truly love.  The combination of being outside, in nature, competing against myself (very rarely do I play against someone), and always trying to better myself, along with the rush from hitting THE shot, or sinking a long putt (as rare as that might be), adds up to be my absolute favorite past-time.  In the past year of really trying to get better (as opposed to playing whenever I could but not focusing on anything in particular), I've managed to drop my handicap from 20-ish to 12.0 and break 90 multiple times in the last month (which was my goal for 2022, so now focusing on trying to break 80).  I've managed to limit my 3-putts to only one or two per round lately, which is great, but I threaten the hole on longer putts very infrequently - and that's something I'm specifically trying to better in order to shave some strokes.
  As for this test, I chose the DF 2.1 for a few reasons:
  1. It's bonkers-looking, and I love it.  Go big or nevermind you went really big so no need to continue that idiom.
  2. I've been putting this past year by choosing my point, lining up my ball to said spot, and then focusing only on the spot as I make the stroke - this has HUGELY benefitted my speed-control, but I definitely have some issues with strike consistency.  Because of that, the larger, more-forgiving 2.1 (which LAB calls "fully automatic putting") sounds like exactly the kind of thing that could really benefit my game.,
  3. As mentioned above, I like talking, and there's no greater potential topic for discussion with random folks I play with than a frying-pan on a stick. 😀
  Attached are a few shots of my current putter (Tommy Armour Milled Serrano), which I purchased after seeing how well the Impact No. 3 performed, but wanted a milled face.  It's...alright.  I definitely don't feel confident over any particular putt, and am really looking to up my confidence, especially in those 4-7 footers that I know I should make but so often don't. 


I'll be attempting to use a combination of "feel" stats as well as "real" stats when testing the DF2.1 - do I feel more confident over the putter?  Can I empirically say I make more putts with the DF vs. the Serrano?  I'll be using Shot Scope for any rounds played, as well as doing actual tests (both on the local putting greens near me as well as my Birdie-ball setup in the garage), so I should have a fairly comprehensive data set, but to be honest - the confidence is the thing I'm REALLY interested in, as I know I've gotten better just by practicing with my current putter, I just don't love how it feels over the ball. 
 If you have any questions or things you'd specifically like me to take a look at within the confines of the test, please feel free to leave a comment below, and I'll do my best to incorporate as much as I can in the coming weeks (as soon as I actually get my hands on that Big Beautiful Freak of a putter 😜 )
 -Matt "Samsonite" Swanson

I have found LAB's site content (as well as the "subscription emails" as mentioned in the pre-signup comments (see above tab)) to be super informative and well-created.  Excited to be able to put all those tips and tricks into action when the putter arrives - currently my order is "processing", but hopeful that that turns to "shipped" before too long so that I can start this whole process. 
Still working on nicknames for the putter. Ham-n-Eggs (looks a bit like a frying pan) is currently my front-runner, but I may decide to spell it "Ammon Degz," because she's obviously a French lady. 

Hey everyone!  Wanted to give some comments on my first hits into the SPG8 XL.  The thing I'm really impressed with is the height of this net!  In the pictures below I'm hitting a 3/4 9i and you'll notice that with the SPG8 the shot hits right on the bottom of the target.  With my old net, it hits almost at the top of the net.  The biggest issue with some of the nets I've seen in the past is you can't hit any wedges at all, including PW.  I'm only using P760s, so it's nothing the launches super high or anything.  The other thing that I love is that if you were to accidentally get too close to the net, you won't structurally damage the net with a normal swing.  With the dome style, there's a very good chance you'll hit a support pole and break the whole thing.  Here, you'll just hit netting.
 

FedEx left a present!!  I'm currently in the middle of month end close (accountant), but wanted to give a quick update.  I didn't want to open it just yet, as I wanted to do a time lapse video of how long this takes to set up straight out of the box with no prior knowledge of how this goes together.  I should be able to get that video completed, along with the first hits into it, this weekend!  More to come!!
 

Hey everyone!  For the "unboxing/setup" of the SPG8 net, I thought it would be fun to do a side-by-side video with commentary to break everything down.
