Sorry if I missed this answer already, but why go to the i210 with the 4 iron? Does it profile as a more forgiving iron then then i59? I mainly ask because I have the i210's and do love them still (thank you MGS for that testing opportunity), but will admit I was under the impression the i59 was a more forgiving iron overall. I actually even moved away from the i210 4 iron to a 4 Crossover from Ping which helped get me the numbers I was looking for.

While on the main site also go checkout their Mission Statements... should answer all the questions you have. https://mygolfspy.com/our-mission/

I would like to see PXG work with Nike in bringing back a limited edition Nike line of clubs. With all the techy PXG goodness and how much I enjoyed Nike clubs in the past it would great to see a rebirth and maybe a true form of the leaked Nike driver that never came to be.

Other option is you can take the shafts into a shop and ask them to swap over adaptors if you really wanted to as well.

Maybe a better way of looking at it along the lines of what Kenny said is why not go in try some clubs along with yours on the LM system and see the difference that could be gained with some new equipment independent of your swing variations as you would be comparing your current set and newer clubs on the same day... whether that is a good or bad swing day? Also I wouldn't go and do a full bag in one day. Break it up and do woods one day and irons another day. It is so easy to fatigue and hit too many shots and then results really go out the window. So if it was me, go in and get fit. Take your clubs and see if you can find the gains you want comparing side by side. As we are all amateurs (at least most all of us) we will always be working on swings, adjusting and seeing what swing we are bringing to the course on any given day.

Just as @russtopherb said the lofts will be reversed. But also the draw setting will be a fade setting. I've used it in my LH head before to give a more fade bias driver.

This year it really might. There is a 145 point difference between the top DST (134.95) and the worst (-9.6)

For all those RB needy teams and some who just need to change things up or looking at adding a RB I want to pair Lockett with either Sanders or Monty in a 2 for 1 for a different WR. I know I said I woulddn't do recaps, but I found some interesting stats on the site Offensive Point leader (QB/RB/WR/TE/FLX) is @djmicro with 951.95 points Kicker Leader is @Crossroads Golf with 75 points 9.5 clear of anyone.... @STUDque I really expected you to be leading this category. Defence Leaders are @Nolan220 and @TBT both with 143 points ytd. Total point leader is @Mtbryant01 with 2187.3 points so far. Total Points Against Leader is @jddaigneault who has had a run of really tough luck with injuries and more.

Of course I've posted these 3 before, but with how well behaved they have been recently with all thats going on and changing it is worth another post.

I don't disagree with you there. Although I also think that Ping is generally pretty good about not bringing out something that isn't better then the previous model (remember the g400 lst or max stayed around longer). Unfortunately this was always a risk with products this season. For me it is 100% Callaway. I have got along with their drivers in the past and from the leaks this new one looks amazing. Our testers seemed to really like them as well.

With leaks all around and new glimpses of products popping up all over the world wide web there will certainly be more and more buzz coming out about the upcoming drivers for this season. What are your favorite or more anticipated drivers coming up? Side note: As we don't want to upset or cross any embargos for OEMs feel free to comment, but lets not add pictures until OEM's have officially released photos to everyone. Who knows maybe some of them could be coming to MGS testing next season!

Im not sure what the capabilities are within the posting features, but certainly worth a look if we can enable a feature like that. I know with new testers this season most have written it right in their post, but that isn't for everyone and like you i would always write mine in word before. As for the member map it is or a version of it something we are currently working on with some extra features. I know it was a great thing to have (admittedly more for US members) but still a great feature that would be great to have back.

Funny I worked with someone who put too much footspray on the face of a club once and completely whiffed on the ball on their first swing, but because it was covered and white it still read as a shot... Not a good one, but showed that color and some other factors can be read by the launch monitor in certain conditions. Same goes for the Speed Radar that Superspeed used, for driver (not sticks) it was recommended to put it at a slight angle as it would read the far part of the toe of the club if dead straight and that could be slightly faster then the middle if I remember correctly. Or it would read it as slightly faster.

Exactly this, we have already gone through this and know the road in which it leads. It is all good to have varying opinions and I'm sure if there needs to be a pure distance debate thread it can be fired up again. The point of this one is the change from 48 inch drivers to 46 inch drivers. Yes the distance debate has a part in this, but lets not loose focus on the main topic in this thread.

The distance debate has been going on since I've been really around golf. I don't think anyone is denying it is happening. Again over the period of 60 years with how sports (most all sports) evolve and adapt and change I don't see 5 or 6 shots being that bad. However going back to the original post with terms of driver length, I don't see issue with it as stated in my above response. The players will adapt to the rules and changes and I don't think it is a bad thing with what they are doing. I don't see it changing distance as a whole, but maybe this is what slowly starts leading to other changes?

Granted I'm not much of a historian, but I don't quite see 5 shots over the span of nearly 60 years being that significant. All sports evolve and change and although I will admit most all of this can be chalked up to equipment and the golf ball I would say the game itself has evolved and has been a contributing factor. Better maintained courses, more knowledge from a players aspect among many other things. I guess a secondary point is do we feel this trend will continue and in another 60 years scores will be another 5 or 6 shots lower? As far as where I stand on the driver length being rolled back I'm all for it. The majority don't use drivers that length anyway and the players will learn to adapt who are using the longer clubs. If it truly influences their game that much then I believe their are other factors they can look into. Take F1 for example and the year over year regulations that change the sport. These are way bigger then what they are doing in golf and the sport is still thriving, teams are adapting and I'm sure progress is still being made to have smaller lap times.

Again I want to thank everyone for participating in the Polling. It did really help us as mods get a good idea for some aspects of the site. Rather then open up another thread or polls on anything I want send this message out as a update and ask a few further questions. - To start we are continuing to work on the Testing section. A further addition that will likely be included is a tab where all Tester Wanted (aka signups) will be and another Tab where all the other reviews will be. Does this make sense to break those like that and help sort the reviews a little more? Included will be renaming "Current Tests" as next years although current will be in the same area as all of this years. We want to make it as simple as possible and to cause as little confusion as possible. - We have also done (thank you to the dev) some optimization on our end to make the changing the titles more simple and in some cases is now even automated. For those who are curious when the post is originally made it will say Testers Wanted. When the sign up closes it will auto prefix to Signup Closed and then when we choose the testers in the backend it will auto prefix to Testers Announced. The rest being In-Progress and Final Reviews we will still do manually. - One of the benefits with this is that we will no longer see Testers Wanted for any signups that have closed or that we may have been a day or two late on changing. - We are also working on some other features to add to the site which as we get some more details on we will make announcements about. For all of you who enjoy writing shorter reviews this new feature should be right up your alley and could add in a nice local touch to the community. Questions: Please note this is for features, this means we know ads suck and are aware of it and have sent messages to the powers that be to help or assist with this. - What features are we missing on this forum in your opinion? Are there other features that other forums have that we should look at adding or incorporating? - Without getting into previously talked about testing section discussion, how do we look at getting greater engagement in the future? - Are there Mobile features we should be looking into? (I'm mainly a tablet or pc user and rarely use mobile other then quick checks on the site) - Are there features we have already that we should be promoting more (ie user groups, profiles, stream feature, gallery etc) We now have a stable group of mods and now that much has settled and we have more or less found our roles with the large changeover we can truly put a larger focus on site improvements as well as growth and a better overall user experience. We truly welcome suggestions whether here or in a PM to any of us as many other users have over past months. Although we cannot guarantee ideas will be implemented, all will be taken under consideration. We have a incredible community here the membership is what makes this community so great, but we also want to see it continue to improve.

For those not in Slack looking to do a 2 for 1 deal involving any of the following Claypool/Dillon/Bateman/Jeudy and or Lockett. If any of the named i test you or need to fill out your roster this week send in some offers!

I found some of your friends!

I almost only walk as I've stated before, unless the course or heat demands a cart... BUT this may change my mind.

Portable batter pack is the best bet to just plug it in and it will charge while you're using. Check Ipad settings, go to Apple store and see if there is something functionally wrong with the ipad?

I think we are diving off topic and down a road that is better suited to it's own thread of anyone wants to discuss that more there. Callaway has been doing these high high end Clubs for a while now. It as i was told by their rep years ago was to showcase some tech the could do and how awesome they could make the Clubs and it turned into something a lot bigger I guess with a good size market. Of course those initial goals or objectives likely have changed since then.

Heads up everyone!

Going keep the poll open through the weekend and close it off. Thank you all for participating as its provided some valuable insight as well as guidance as to where we can improve and grow.

No need to be apologize. When I last remembered it being brought up it was due to the format that iphones save their photos in. That being said, if you post in the section and it's doing it just send me a PM with the link to the post and I should be able to rearrange it for you. Also just let me know the orientation you want... example
