    Great opportunity!  I have the basic mevo and it has provided great info for gapping, height and spin.  The data has been very useful for the club reviews.

    It works well for me indoors and outdoors.

     

     @GolfSpy_APH I am not signing up but have a question about the number of testers...  Is it 3 to test the different mevo products and an additional 3 to test the basic mevo?  I didnt understand the wording at there.

    Once the original 3 testers who are selected go through the Mevo basic portion of the test they will be shipping that unit off to 3 additional testers for them to review. The original 3 will then continue through the progression. 

    6 Testers total. 3 go through it all. 3 will get the passed down Mevo units.

    I am already a Mevo+ Pro Package owner/user and would be delighted to do a full sweep over the range of products. I am familiar with the flightscope software as well as with the E6 version for iOS and have a perpetual Awesome Golf license.

    I have a proper indoor testing environment and have experience in testing the Mevo+ also outdoors. I can test outdoors during the winter. 

    I would test with Titleist ProV1 regular balls (with Mevo stickers) and also with Titleist RCT (although not specifically recommended by Flightscope last time I checked, I have read they work well) and I am yet to test how they perform with the Mevo+. 

    I am very curious about the possibilities and accuracy of the face impact location software and also the capabilities of the Mevo. 

    Finally it would be very interesting to see if the new Mevo+ units present any differences with my current unit (one of the early ones). 

    I am an industrial/mechanical/electrical engineer and a fluid mechanics professor, and I am a nerd for the different parameters that a proper launch monitor can deliver, from the basic ones such as speeds and distances, to the different paths and swing/launch angles. I believe I can provide a detailed, unbiased, and substantial review and, above all, I know I would enjoy it thoroughly. 

    I would encourage you to do an unofficial review of your experience. Unfortunately as you already have the Mevo+ it sadly doesn't make sense for this test as it is a progression test for users to go through from the basic mevo to eventually the Mevo+ Pro Package with Face Impact. Just being honest, but we would love to see an unofficial review!

    Dear God, please let me test this putter. 
     

    I am positively the worst putter I know. More three putts than imaginable. There are 20 handicaps that are better putters than me. I would love to see how this is putter does with three putting for me. 

    Give this a read. It will help you. First basic rule for us is no profile photo = no selection

    Just what I need, another golf gadget! No seriously I love golf gadgets! I think it would be great to see a head to head comparison of the deWiz unit against my Arccos system. I am a retired Electronics engineer who is wound two turns too tight and I have gone way too deep in collecting information on my golf game. I am an active member of the "Wild Bunch" golf men's group who play out of Coyote Run golf course in Mesa Arizona. We play three times a week and I usually get out to a different course on one of the other days of the week. So I would certainly give the unit a thorough test on a single course for baseline work and other Phoenix area courses for outlier experimentation. 

    There is another reason why I would like to test the deWiz Golf Swing Modifier. In my near obsession with the study of golf stats I have ventured into the murky realm of golf habits. Did you know that between putting the tee in the ground and picking it up again the average golfer utilizes somewhere between 30 and 70 individually controllable physical motions? And that the golf swing is 99+ percent a habitualized series of movements. deWiz claim on their web page " Our technology is based on research in motor learning, which is the neuroscience of how to permanently change a person’s ability to perform a motor skill." That motor skill? It is a deeply ingrained habit. 

    In my research into golf habits and why old ones suddenly appear to ruin your round I have read, among others, The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, The Art of the Impossible by Steven Kotler, and Whole Brain Living by Jill Bolte Taylor. These three authors delve deeply into habits, those 70 or so motions that comprise a golf swing - The Power of Habit, the grind needed to make changes to those habits -The Art of the Impossible, and Whole Brain Living brings the cogitative centers of the brain, how it works with regards to habits, attitudes , and the person you want walking in your golf shoes the day of the yearly club championship to light. Yeah all this stuff about habits, the Grind, and the brain? My wife calls it my "Engineering Mode" and she is never really happy discussing the day's events over dinner with The Engineer. But, for this test I thing The Engineer would be awesome!

    If given the chance you will get exhaustive comparisons between the Modifier and the other golf gadgets I have (at least the ones that work. I have not turned on my Swingbyte 2 in a good long time) as well as in depth personal observations on where and how it has improved or not improved my swing. My current handicap index is 11.5 which walks down to a 6 on the white tees at Coyote Run.

    This will help you understand how we select our testers. Also I am working on an update for 2024, but this should at least get you started.

    I've had a a Dewiz for a while now and it's pretty great. I originally bought it for 1) fighting an over the top transition 2) dialing in partial wedges with the clock system. 

    It definitely helped with both of those. My transition quickly went from around +4" to right around a consistent +1" as you can see in the screenshot. Their distawedge feature is a really fun way to practice wedges with a launch monitor and dial in my wedge matrix. When I put the work in, my partial wedge distance control is much more reliable. 

    They've added a few features since I was frequently using it (shallowing/steepening, iddy, iddy). Those are a little harder to dial in for me. No matter what I try, I still steepen about 3-4°. 

    Good luck to the testers. I'm really curious to hear how the testers use those newer features and if anyone can figure out how to use it to improve shallowing.  Might motivate me to spend some more time with it this winter.

    Oh, and their customer service is absolutely wonderful. Matt and Marcus definitely go out of their way to help. 

    Thanks for sharing!

    Matt was awesome to chat with and really excited about this whole opportunity. I love seeing more tech in this space and will be interested to see what testers think especially compared to the general feedback HackMotion received. They are both systems that can really help, when someone knows how to put them to good use.

    In the FAQs, the MGS HQ mentioned international customs, etc. in the "Why are some tests geographically restricted?" topic.  I would like to know, along those lines, why ball testing is requested in the 3d week of October when we northern US folks (NY State between Rochester and Syracuse) are seeing our season dwindling due to weather and the "leaf rule"?  Testers get 1 sleeve, lost in leaves within first 9 holes, what data does that provide?  Also, what if we get a prototype that is designed to fit a 110 mph driver speed but we have only 75 on a hot July day, let alone the week before Halloween with tighter muscles and added layers of clothing?  Just doesn't seem fair. 

    This is when Titleist has decided to do their White Box testing. Not an MGS decision to do it at this time, but simply when the opportunity has arrived. 

    Again this is a prototype and all of your information/feedback will be sent to Titleist which will then allow them to make adjustments as well as various other considerations with the golf ball and who it could be for. 

    As for testing outside, yes could be more difficult, however lots of indoor areas to get data, information and feel for how the ball performs.

    Sounds like fun, but my first thought was when do they expect the results back?? Because golf around here is getting cold! May be better to test these next spring. Oh well!

    Feedback should be done immediately. It is only 3 golf balls so not an indepth review, but still thorough. That is also what launch monitors are for thankfully!

    Is this a unique MGS/Titleist type event?  I've been part of Titleist ball testing previously that culminated in a somewhat broad survey.

    Nothing to prompt what type ball we tested, nor comments or results.

    I'm optimistic MGS will open a forum so we can internally discuss what ball (typically only differentiated by either red or black numbers) and our results/comments.

     

    Looking forward to the next generation of Titleist balls.

    -- Peejer

    This wont be much different. We will have a thread where testers can chime in, but there will be no revealing what golf ball this is or potentially replacing or new to the line up entirely. 

    Again as stated in the post it is almost more of a survey.
