[Sacks Parente Putters - 2023 Forum Review]

@cnosil  your testing is really starting to make me consider ditching my Birdie Ball mat for an Ex-putt.

@chisag saw this earlier and chuckled.  Fortunately or unfortunately you came to mind.

IMHO, your shaft is more important than the head. 

I know this is your opinion, not trying to change your mind; but for the sake of the readers I disagree. 

I believe that clubhead is more important to fit first.  Fitting for a clubhead is to make large or sweeping changes--- big changes in launch/spin(full degrees/hundreds of RPM), start angle (neutral, left or right), ball speed, etc.  After the proper launch conditions are met with clubhead, shaft changes then fine tune for consistency.

For example:  A 10.5* head will spin off the planet for me.  There is no stick of rebar that will bring spin down enough for me to keep a drive from ballooning; turning the head down OR using a lower degree head will make a suitable and fitting difference.  Shaft changes then to make the driver perfect.

Thanks fellas!  Can't state it enough, you guys work tirelessly to continually improve our little corner of the internet.  It surely doesn't go unnoticed nor unappreciated.

[Sacks Parente Putters - 2023 Forum Review]

Great work so far fellas!  Interested to see how these compare to your prior gamers towards the end of the test.  Initial thoughts look like it will be a tight competition for bag space.

I'm actually surprised with the sharp eyed members we have here, that no one caught or called out the part of my previous posts where I said the 1st outing of 2024

We noticed, we are just waiting with great anticipation

Greetings All,

swung a club for the first time since March today.  Took my 54° to the softball field and spent a hour.  Felt pretty darned good.  Doesn’t appear that I’ve lost much, won’t be able to play till January.

 

Bur my family and I will be on the move again next summer.  
 

Hope all is well.

 

Cheers

A @Shanksterpost is a sight for sore eyes. Miss seeing you around here.  Hope all is well in the Shankster household!

100% aligned and agree with @Ben Joest here.

Location to me would not matter, just knowing the timing with a reasonable notice would be my only issue.

Thinking of starting a new chapter, where I would be able to golf on any day that ends in "Y" prior to June 1, 2024.

Not worried about @JohnSmalls comment about being careful for what we wish for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, saw the videos and pictures of the last events, and looking forward to participating in the new events moving forward. 

@McGolf does a really good job at editing those and putting well paid actors in for the the interview part

Looking forward to seeing where we end up! Hopefully I can make it work this year.

Bring the whole family!  So many life lessons to share from this motley crew .  @GolfSpy BOS is just the tip of the iceberg 

[2023 Titleist White Box Testing Thread]

Interesting to see the cover scuffing from wedges.  Seems like the cover is tearing up a little more quickly than I would expect based on your posts.  Wonder if this new test ball has a reformulated cover?  Or if it made on the same line as the Tour Speed.  IIRC  Tour Speed covers scuffed up a little more quickly than the cast urethane covers of Pro V/AVX lines.

[deWiz Golf Swing Modifier - 2023 Forum Review]

2 hours ago, GolfSpy_APH said:

Testers Announced!

If you haven't heard of deWiz before, you're not alone. Here's a quick insight into what deWiz says about their product: "deWiz is a wearable piece of technology featuring a patented biofeedback system designed to help golfers swiftly and efficiently implement crucial swing changes. With over a dozen unique data points on each swing, deWiz employs 3D motion tracking to provide golfers with a crystal-clear understanding of their swing mechanics."

As the golf season winds down in various parts of the world, deWiz could potentially emerge as the perfect companion for those keen on refining their game during the off-season. What's more, this versatile device can be used both indoors and outdoors, with or without a club.

Recently, deWiz revealed its much-anticipated "On-Course Mode," which has earned the stamp of approval from the USGA. This feature means you can access the same insightful swing analysis whether you're in the comfort of your home office or competing for your Club Championship.

For many golfers, this time of the year offers an ideal window for making swing changes and taking lessons. With all that said, we're seeking four dedicated golfers to thoroughly test, review, and keep the deWiz Golf Swing Modifier. Priced at $599.99, it represents a significant investment. Is it worthy of a spot on golfers' wish lists for the upcoming holiday season? How well does it perform on the course and during practice at home? These are just some of the questions we aim to answer through the testing process.

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

The F7 has been a staple in my bag for years. Don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Just a trusted club that I really enjoy hitting.

The wedges are several years old too. Glide 2.0. I do have new Mizuno, but something about these pings keep coming back.

I hear you with the Glides.  I've still got the Glide 1.0, there is something about a good wedge that just keeps it in the bag.

I had - and get ready for this, because I've never heard of ANYONE doing this, ever - NINE three-putts on the day.

You're in good company...or bad depending on how you look at it.  Had a Sunday out with my old man earlier this year and had a Murphy's law afternoon.  Started off with a couple of easy two putts and then proceeded to three-putt the next 7 holes.  We only played 9 but rest assured I would have easily reached two more had we played 18.  It became a joke after the third time.  A really bad joke by the last hole.

My season is about wrapped up. I may play some more, but there won't be any changes to my bag till spring at this point. There could be additions in the area of a hybrid or something, but here are the locks through the off season and have an eye on for new wedges next season.

So here is to a mass photo drop!
