Never got fitted for a putter, just went to the store and tried some and picked one that felt good. I guess that's why I have a dozen that lean against the wall. Ha!
You too??? I kinda have a putter fetish at this point!!

-
Good luck to everyone!! These are gorgeous!! Tin Cup it up!!!

Imma sit this one out, I think i have gone through a half dozen drivers in as many months (another is being delivered today).......You'd think I would listen to Lee Trevino.....I am def too hard headed. Good luck to all!!!!
-
Kinda ashamed to admit, but have gone through like a half dozen putters over the last year…..
-
Obviously have to sign up for this!!! Play multiple times a week after work, plus any VGA tournaments that are in my area (two this weekend!!!). Been a tester before, so would think my chances probably aren't the best, but gotta try!!!!!
-
Already have it and love it! Good luck!
-
The ER11 us super sexy for sure!

I really like the face milling, seems interesting. I also like that it comes with a weight kit, as I love to play around/tinker with things. Will have to see if they have come out with a larger mallet style (i like the sypder style putters)

I've got the start of one - I got it in January of this year and a week later I tore my achilles so I've been unable to give it a complete work through just yet.
I knew going in it would be mostly Fall and Winter use and I always prefer to go to course or real range given the time.
well........that.........sounds.............horrible. Hope you are doing better!
Georgia, in the summer time, I would much rather be indoors with the AC than out in the upper 90s with 80% humidity

I've not yet picked my jaw up off the floor from the shock that I was chosen. Thank you and looking forward to giving these a great test. Excited that I also will have a lot of data to share each week with my SkyTrak.
Ok, well now I gotta ask how do you like your SkyTrak.....trying to talk the wife into letting me get one (I mean, c'mon, just add up how much i spend on range balls lady!!!!) Do you have any sort of review on the site?
Congrats again, I think I am def adding the T200s (is it me, or weren't these the names of the first Terminators?) on my list of irons to try. Didn't care for the looks of last years.

I want to test ALL the things!!!!!!!!!

Good luck everyone! These are some beautiful looking irons. I am 100% sure I won't be selected as I am currently doing the Honma T//World GS Driver review, but there was no way I wasn't going to put my name into the Goblet of Fire
-
Not sure what happened, why it added two images i had already put in there again at the bottom....oh well. And already the moderators are regretting selecting me for testing

Ok all, seems like I was the first one to get the driver! Not sure why, but hopefully that gets me a little extra time with it before posting my final review. Speaking of that, I started working on it, and holy cow was it getting long, so lemme take this opportunity to get some stuff out of the way (otherwise, I am going to demolish the word limit). Since I am the first, here is how it came (standard box, don't want anyone to think it came without a box):
I started golfing as a kid with my dad, but it didn't really take. Not because I didn't enjoy golf, but i was shy and hated getting paired up with others. I joined the Air Force as an analyst in 2000 and was stationed in norther Japan for my first duty station. This is where I got back into golf, really into it, after a friend talked me into playing again. Over the last several years, the amount of golf has decreased as it seems every next duty station had less and less people I worked with playing, to the point where over the last 2-3 years I played only maybe 3-4 times a year in best ball tournaments. I retired last year, and was hired as an Army civilian, and at that point i decided I wanted to golf again, lots of golf, and since i work about 3 minutes from the course on base, i could easily do 9 after work on most days. So that is where I am now, generally playing 2-3 nine-hole rounds a week, and maybe an extra 6 holes with my son at First Tee.
I can't say my driver is the strong or weak point of my game right now, as it is kinda more the inconsistency in my swing that is killing me, to the point where my misses can be almost anything from a high fade/slice, to a low pull hook. I actually have 3 gamers right now, that until this arrived, i was testing against each other to see which would best suit my game. The Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme, 2017 Taylormade M1 460cc, and 2016 Taylormade M2. Right after being selected for this review, I actually ran into a young Lieutenant on the course who had a Honma TW737 445cc driver with the forward weight. He let me try it out (9th Tee) and I hit it 285 total, which I had only been hitting my two (I was putting the M2 and Cobra against each other that day) around 250-260 max. So that got me curious if a lower spin driver/shaft would benefit me, so this is when i purchased the M1, and some low-spin shafts for each, which i have been playing around with as well.
As I stated before, I am an analyst, and I love it. I love data (such a friggin nerd) and because of that this year I purchased the Arcoss sensors and a Mevo launch monitor (wife said I couldn't get a Foresight GC4, something about it costs more than what we will likely spend on our son's first car.....pfffffft). What's better than playing golf? Playing golf and sitting on the couch with a cold beer and looking at all the data from your round! So my testing will be using both of these systems, and if I can get some from the Foresight CG2 at my local Ediw Watts, then I will include that as well. So here is some data to give a little more insight into my swing/numbers:
Cobra SpeedZone 9.5 degrees, Aldila NV NXT Green Shaft, Stiff
201 7 Taylormade M1 9.5 degrees, Tensei CK Blue, Stiff (this is actually the stock shaft from the M2, I also have an Aldila NV NXT green in stiff for this as well, but during this range session I had already hit quite a few balls, and was pretty tired)
Please, let me know if you have any questions or comments! I will try and get a descent slow-mo video of my swing to post as well.

Oh man, this would be a dream! I have gone through so many drivers over the last few months, it's crazy!
-
Congrats testers!! These are definitely in my list to try, been through about every ball in this price range (Vice pro and pro soft, snell mtb-x and black, qstar tour, taylormade tour response). Really curious how these compare, would go but my own, but I have a ton to get through……oh who am I kidding, probably grab some tomorrow

It does look pretty complicated, but my current driver doesn't allow me to adjust the open or closed face without also affecting the loft. When I dropped my head from 8* to 6*, my driver sits more open because of it.
6*???? Who are you??? Bryson DeChambeau???
