Looks great! I wonder if the cooler will hold a roll of TP?

Thanks, we may need to get some side betting action going on this.

Thanks and that is a huge jump. Nicely done!

Can all the testers put their starting driver swing speed in their signature so it is easier to track progress? No big deal if not but I find myself jumping around to try and figure out the gains.

Well, you do get a free $20 golf glove with them.

I picked up a new driver last week and spent a bunch of time on SkyTrak dialing it in. What worked for this driver is different than what works for my other driver. With the new driver I have to tee it higher and move it more forward in my stance to get the best results. If I set up like the old driver I was pushing everything and hitting really low on the face. Taking this knowledge to the course yesterday it took me about 9 holes to adjust a little more before I was getting similar results to SkyTrak.

I gamed the Gamer yesterday. Is was 37 degrees when I teed off with 15-20 winds all days. Really hard to judge overall performance but the Gamer seemed to do really well in the wind in regards to holding its line. Feel is very much like the Gamer Soft but seemed to roll out a little more but again the wind made it really hard to judge. I putted very well with it so no issues there. I hit 3 trees and a cart path and no scuffs. Slight loss of color as it dulled a bit. I played the first 6 at even par and was thinking this is my new ball. Next 6 holes I was 10 over thinking I hate this ball. I stuck with it and finished 3 over the last 6 holes. I had a new driver in play and with the wind distances were all over the place but I pulled my normal clubs for my normal distances without issues. It seems to launch higher than what I'm used to and the SkyTrak kind of showed that. I will play it again next time out and hopefully won't have to deal with the cold and wind. I've shot some of my lowest rounds, 76,77, with the D2 Feel+ so might pick up a box of those to compare as well. They are $8 for a 15 pack and from memory seemed to feel and perform very similar to the Gamer.

If it only holds a six I’ll slow down to see how long the drinks stay cold. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

July 2020 Bag Boy Chiller Cart Bag - Official MGS Forum Review by Wedgie Whoever designed this golf bag at Bag Boy is someone I want to play 18 with. Sure, I’ve had other bags with “coolers” in them but not like the Bag Boy Chiller cooler. A cooler that also carries golf clubs…why didn’t I think of that? With the craziness that is 2020 I’ve gone from traveling two weeks a month to not traveling at all. I’ve learned to appreciate a more relaxed lifestyle and golf has become fun again as I’ve taken that relaxed approach to the course. I recently switched to single length irons and they are slowly starting to come around for me. My index is dropping from where I started the year and currently sits at 9.4. I no longer sweat the bad shots, I no longer worry about shot tracking, and although I putt better with my 34” Evnroll putter I use a 35” Pinseeker more often because I don’t have to bend over as much to use it. I play the majority of my rounds in Rhode Island at my club and we get some hot and muggy days. My normal set up is 14 clubs, a Clicgear Model 8 and a Yeti. With Covid-19 rules in place and no water coolers on the course the cooler has been awesome to have. When the bag first arrived I took it out of the box and it looked awesome. I was using a Datrek DG Lite II prior to the Bag Boy and they are very similar in appearance but don’t all bags kind of look the same? I noticed a few extra pockets which provided more storage than I actually need. The bag seemed larger than the Datrek but also seemed lighter. A quick fact check showed the Datrek is about 2 pounds lighter but I’m a cart pusher so weight isn’t a huge issue for me. The outer packaging clearly stated “Made in China” which was a bit of a turn off but I get it. Looks (10 out 0f 10) The black bag with green accents really pop to me and they match our company colors. I am seeing more of that color scheme in everyday products and more and more at my club with other guy’s bags. Bag Boy offers 6 color options and I think all testers chose a different color which shows me there is a color for everyone. The slim accents really give the bag a sleek look and they don’t shout BAG BOY with over-sized graphics which I’m not a fan of. The cooler is hidden perfectly so I can sneak beers on the course and the beer cart girl is none the wiser. Size and Weight (8 out of 10) To me the size is perfect and if I didn’t compare the weight to the Datrek I’d say the weight is perfect. Two extra pounds in a cart bag is nothing. If I was lugging the clubs on my back for 18 holes I’m sure the 2 extra pounds would make a difference but that is not what the bag is designed for. Club Storage (9 out of 10) The Chiller bag has 14 individual full length club dividers. The Datrek had 15 and having an extra slot always messed me up for some reason. Remember, I’m trying to simplify my life and having one less slot does just that. I noticed fraying on the Datrek fairly quickly on the top of the dividers because the fabric only goes down about two inches. No problems yet on the Bag Boy but it’s something I will keep my eye on. I have not had a single issue with any clubs getting hung up in the bag or pulling a club only to find a 12” piece of thread tangling from my grips which has been an issue in the past with other bags. I have noticed my putter will get hung up slightly when the cooler is full with 6 beers since the cooler is stored against the soft sided putter well. Drink a beer and that solves the problem. Other Storage (8 out of 10) This bag really has more room than I need with 9 zippered pockets, 3 mesh quick-access pockets and the removable cooler. It provides a ton more storage than the Datrek and even though I don’t need it all I have found it to be much more desirable to have than I thought it would be. I really wish the fleece lined and one of the accessory pockets were a little deeper. If so this bag would be a 10 for me in regards to storage. Since they are so shallow I have found myself putting things like keys, my wallet, glasses case and things like that in the pocket I keep my laser range finder. Extra Features (10 out of 10) The cooler is awesome! I’ve owned bags that have a silver lined pocket with a spout at the bottom to let the water drain when the ice melted which lead to a soggy, stinky bag. They call that a cooler? The cooler bag really is a cooler. It is removable and I could see myself taking it to the beach with a few drinks and some snacks. It will hold six 12 ounce cans but it is a tight squeeze. I have found that the best set up for keeping drinks cold is to go with 5 cans and fill the rest with ice. With 6 cans there is no extra room for an ice pack or even loose ice. Once the drinks are gone just dump the ice and leave it unzipped to air dry in the bag. Without ice the drinks tended to stay cool but less than ideal temperature especially for beer. Another nice touch is the easy grip zipper pulls. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but when you have a hot, steamy day it makes unzipping pockets a breeze. Durability (10 out of 10) This is a tough one to rate so early but so far so good. No fading, no loose threading or fabric coming up where you pull the clubs. My son is seeing a ton of this on his Cleveland bag after about a year of use. I will continue to add to the thread regarding this topic as warranted. On-course (17 out of 20) For me, as a walker this is a perfect 20 out of 20. Everything I need is easily accessible since I have 270 degrees of access to the bag. The bag is easy to handle in and out of the car and will stand on its own without legs as I set up my push cart. I would not recommend this as a carry bag. When I do have to carry the bag any distance the single strap is not very comfortable and tended to tilt forward on me which could lead to clubs sliding out. Hasn’t happened yet but I can see how it easily could. When I have used with a cart things become a bit trickier with this bag. The single towel ring if you are the driver gets stuck next to the passenger’s bag and makes it difficult to get to the towel. I also used a club cleaner that has also turned into a ball washer that attaches to the towel ring. It does not have a long lanyard and it needs to be removed for use when using a cart. By adding an additional ring I would have scored this bag higher for on course use. Miscellaneous (9 out of 10) Although this bag has the TOP-LOCK technology for use with a Bag Boy push cart it works really well with my Clicgear cart. The top locks must rest on top of the bag holder and even though the bag does not touch the bottom of the cart it’s held securely in place with zero movement throughout the round. The umbrella holder works like any other and the pen and divot tool holders are a tight squeeze so I don’t use them. Play it or Trade it? (20 out of 20) If I ever get rid of this bag it will be because I purchased another one of these. As a walker it is perfect and gives me more than I thought you could get in a bag. If I was a cart guy I would strongly consider this bag but I would look at other options based only on the lack of 2 towel rings. May seem shallow but it makes more of a difference than I would have thought. Conclusion I love this bag! For me it is the perfect blend of great style and functionality. The cooler is awesome and nobody to my knowledge has anything remotely close to this. If you are a walker and in the market for a bag you should take a very hard look at this bag as it will be hard to beat. If a cart is your choice it is still worth strong consideration. Final Score 91

I'm thinking about the new Wishon single length irons. They should be available next month and seems like some nice updates to the original Sterlings. I don't love the look but who am I to judge coming from the Launchers. https://wishongolf.com/eq1-nx-single-length-irons/

Thanks for the input on the app. I bought the app a few years ago and although I never actually hit a ball with it I practiced my tempo quite a bit for about a week then forgot about it. I think I'll fire it back up again tonight and see how it goes.

All set. The new Gamer logo looks a lot better than the old TF logo IMO. Probably not the best comparison in regards to apples to apples using the Gamer vs ProV1x but at about 20% of the cost why not. It was buy 1 get 1 at Dicks. Sorry I can’t present this better on my iPad and I thought I could create a second club on SkyTrak but it didn’t work. The first 3 shots with each club are the ProV1x and the last 3 are with the gamer. The Gamer feels great off the clubs but seemed a little wild. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Is that the course maintained by reform school kids? That is a serious question by the way. If it is the one I'm thinking I've played there a couple of times and yes, it is very nice.

I don't recall South Dakota being so pretty!

I blew off work Monday afternoon since it was beautiful outside in Rhode Island. By the time I got to the course it was cool and windy. My Garmin watch didn't save any shot data but I know I shot a 90. I know I missed a lot of fairways. I know I 3 jacked 7 times. Which leads us to my heavy input in yesterday's "what have you bought lately" thread.
