Locking this up as we don't want people to get confused - Proper thread linked below. https://forum.mygolfspy.com/tests/141-testers-wanted-titleist-vokey-sm10/?do=getNewComment

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dKUMwOthovmKiNiiIuHi0HPtkoidhLOV/view?usp=sharing For those that missed the call you can view it here! It does start early as there was some great conversation that started prior to the normal call time.

Yup and posting it now!

Thanks to all who were able to join! Was a lot of fun and a great experience for sure. Next week Shot Scope!

TBD the dev is not supporting the app after this latest update so we are attempting at getting it built from scratch.

We have done about as much as we can with this as we have to work within the platform we have. There is another big update this year which may help, but that is TBD. We added the nav bar to help at the bottom as well.

You can within the classifieds! Just post the item you want to buy as WTB. We have done our best to separate our classifieds a bit and make them different then other sites. We are very pleased with our platform, but this site isn't as well known for the robustness of that sections as others.

If I'm going with current PGA Tour players I think Kitayama. Not even because he has some sort of attitude or anything, but because he has burned me so many times during Fantasy Golf that it just makes it hard to route for.

Yeah... That's what happens when I try to be productive and get things done ahead of time. There will be a good portion that still receive it as Stix, but with the distribution taking several hours there will be many with SM10. Annoying, but now I know better for next time.

Vokey is Saturday. We just had a little snafu that meant I had to open it earlier. Oh well!

Community call with Aaron Luttrell from Titleist tonight! Super excited about that and for those looking there is another little surprise we dropped today (little early). Pumped to have Stix on board this week for member testing as they are a great brand that offers a different product. Not to mention a product that has been requested nearly more than any other. Full sets - big thanks to Stix and looking forward to see who signs up and ultimately how they perform!

Been trying to get a full round in all week but weather is saying no. Sucks but is that time of year!

Could it be an option for you to have both options and use them as the courses or conditions permits? If you know it is going to wet or dry or depending on the yardage you can add or subtract the club that you need? It is kinda what I do and I will toss in a 2 iron every now and then as a club i use for fairways of if it will be stupid windy.

To me seems like a weight thing. Going 20 grams is significant. Maybe find something in the 50 or even 55 gram range would be solid.

I have pick 4 and 6 in our main dynasty draft. Which for me is great. Would love to sneak in a QB/WR combo, but if I get two WR I will also be quite happy.

And being in Texas.... yikes lol

It starts tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited for it. Have a lot hinging on the draft for dynasty teams and so on. The draft is one of my favorite parts of the season and although there is likely to be little to no surprise with the first pick it should be an entertaining night with some great prospects!

It will certainly help change the flight. There are also draw settings with the different lofts to help dial in your options. Just double check it has the little LH. I once had a RH adaptor in the cobra that I bought used and it least to a draw setting being a fade setting which really didn't help my slice....

Will be following along for sure! Sorry don't have a ton of advice but when it is ready I will be sure to look at coming to visit and give it a round or two!

Sad to see you go! Most everyone chimed in while i was asleep (gotta love being in the EU time zone and missing the action). I am a dad with two under three and have a full time job then this as my true side job. This site and community means the world to me and we really have a truly incredible group of people to chat all things golf (and not - there is a great parenting thread which may be up your alley). Not addressed specifically for you, but since it was brought up I am sure there will be others that have questions. Ad revenue - Of course the forum has bills to pay and costs to running. We are thankfully supported very well by HQ and have done a lot of work to create a better ad experience (there were some dark days in the past). We moved agencies and I did a lot of trouble shooting with them prior to launch because we wanted an experience that was fair. That said the ad rev and all that has zero impact or anything to do with member testing. A few of us on the forum staff work very closely with the different companies to bring these to the community. With that there are a few key features that are selling points - they do not pay to be part, but simply provide the product. They also know that not all products are reviewed favourably. Which is part of the deal. 1. We will find and select members that are best suited to each opportunity. This can mean that newer members are more likely to be chosen for lower valued items (not exclusively though) but also that we will find handicaps, swing speeds and golfers that suit the product. Ultimately we want the tests to be relevant to the product and those considering buying them. 2. The members selected with contribute extensively during testing. For many newer members who are selected the beginning can be quite daunting as there is a lot to go through and get ready even prior to them getting the product. This also means a lot of activity during the review with updates, posts, photos and other media. What these end up being is longer term on going reviews with follow up well after the final review is submitted. This is where having some sort of post history is helpful! 3. Exposure for the brand and its products - through our newsletters, socials, forum announcements etc. 4. Forum recap - wrap up article posted on the main site. This is just a few of the things, but mainly we want this to be a win, win, win. Win for members in getting product to test, review and keep. Win for the community as the more ops we get the more we usually grow our membership. Win for the companies as they get brand exposure for minimal costs. I won't rehash what or why we ask what we do. It is how we have found the most successful long term candidates for testing. While this is (I will safely assume) not you, we had someone similar bring up these things last year. We had a review where they applied and thought we wanted to give them a shot - see if they could follow through and do a good review. It ended really badly - They were a pain to work with, they weren't able to follow the basic instructions we did, provided a lackluster review that showed minimal effort and a lot more. For me it sucked. I wanted this person to prove us wrong with the selection and knock the review out of the park and sadly it was overly predictable what happened. So while this again is not you, it has made us a little shy on some situations. It also engraved deeper that our methods as they are solid and provide us knowledge that we should get quality honest reviews. The good news is we select new members for every review (50% of our testers this year have never tested before) so we are more than fair in that aspect. However a golf forum and this community isn't for everyone! That is more than alright and while we love to see new people get involved, for some right now or just forums aren't their cup of tea. Nothing at all wrong with that. Appreciate your posts - appreciate you listening to what everyone has said and providing further questions. In the end we hope that threads like these provide more answers for more members who have these same questions.

It will be interesting because right now marks Cobra and 2 years of those being current. Would love to hear or see if they are coming up with something but at least right now I haven't seen or heard anything.

I'm not surprised. Maybe it is a bit harsh or blunt, but quite often the warranty goes through the purchase location. It's how many OEMs work. It's also why I said it would be best to take it to the store or talk to them vs Vokey in my first response. I'm sure had the item been taken back to the store they would have replaced it on site.

Are you considering new irons?

Sorry but definitely a generic answer, but only way to find those specific numbers is going to be through a fitting. So many ppl are different have all sorts of variables. Ping has been a really popular hybrid among the forum staff though. Same with Titliest and PXG is underrated for their hybrids to name a few. Same goes for shaft, the stiffness profiles are different across brands so X may be similar to an S in others. Do you know what weight you prefer? That is a place I generally like to start and look at. Sorry for my non answer-answer.

Of course! Given all the other stuff I get to do here it is one of the fun things I get to do is keep all of you on your toes. This place is truly so much fun. That said there is so much going on with back end stuff that I miss way more than I would like.
