I got it as well.... Wondering if the "you've been selected from the random selection process" was more of a marketing scheme. They used this terminology to sound exclusive (like Augusta National) but in reality ALL people were selected to be able to buy tickets.

I have an older set of TM Rocketbladz Tour irons that I still enjoy but would like to see if a new set of shafts would perform better. Is there any way to get fit for new shafts for older irons? I know they can use the Mizuno shaft optimizer and any new irons have interchangeable heads. How do you get custom fit for old irons...? thx

these balls are great for the high handicap golfer who doesnt care what ball they play. Decent ball at a great price. Quality issues will plague it though. Sounds like the cover is tearing without even hitting trees or the path

saw this too! For the money its a good ball when compared to other balls in its price range

Stage 2 is up!

I TRIED to lose the NX9. For those of us that play courses that do not have fully paved paths and take the cart over roots when looking for our balls in the woods, the magnet was amazing. I couldn't get that thing to fall off even once.

@GolfSpy MPR I went ahead and dropped my 56 wedge (which i used to use for EVERYTHING) from my bag and only carry a 52 & 60 now. The 52, for me, will go no more than 105 on a full swing. From there i know the feel all my pitches of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4. Then around the green if i need to land it soft i use the 60 but if i need it to roll out i'll go 52. Same for bunker play.

I typically do not use a rangefinder for anything under 100yds. More specifically when i KNOW i am under 100yds (partial wedge shots). To me, those are more of a feel shot. Maybe i should be shooting the flag to know if its a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 wedge.... The PP NX9 will very easily tag the flag from that close.

going to have to agree with @russtopherb. I played this weekend as well and would pick up trees and bushes behind the green quite a bit. A bittersweet feature but can be annoying if you play in a heavily wooded course. I did compare this issue with my old Bushnell V2 Tour and the Bushnell would grab the flag before anything else. Does it happen all the time, NO. But its that 1 or 2x per round when youve lined up perfectly with some trees behind the flag. Still a great product but just some minor annoyances like anything.

Dang, i thought they used to have a great program. I wonder if they changed it within the past few years. I'm not a vet so ive never personally looked into it but always heard in side conversations how great it was. Greatly appreciate your service @Maltenator. Hopefully all wounds are healed up!

I've heard Ping is very generous with their veteran discount too. I'm sure someone will be able to speak on it after i post this. It is great that these companies appreciate those that are committed to this country and do the work that they do!.

@perseveringgolfer very cool! sounds like you had a great day out there! I was lucky enough to go out there a few years ago and walk a few holes (wasn't able to play) during a freezing cold of November. Such an awesome course. It looks beautiful right now from your pictures. One day i'll get back there to play. In the mean time, i'll live vicariously through you.

aaahhh man sorry i couldn't make it on such short term notice. Next time i'm in Thats awesome though, hit em straight!

I too also played today. Used it the whole round and mounted it to my cart. Magnet is still going great. Easy to grab and shoot as i jump out of the cart at my ball. Rarely hitting much past the flag. Shot my best round of the Summer today (82) and felt very comfortable with the yardages. I would 2nd the idea that with greater magnification comes a greater 'shakey' feeling. All movements are magnified. Still really enjoying the rangefinder more than I expected. Time will tell on its durability but I've had no concerns at this point.

I've let it hang by the magnet on the bar next to the windshield for 3 rounds now for all 18 holes and had no problems with it falling off. And I drove through some ROUGH patches getting my ball out of the woods. This was my biggest 'ah ha' moment for this product as odd as it seems. The magnet is legit.

It might be more impressive to have picked an entire team that ENTIRELY missed the cut! There should be an award of soft golf balls for that. (bc soft golf balls are the worst).

I voted for @Bucky CC bc 'whos says you have to play from your own fairway.' And bc stories arent made about guys who laid-up!

How Strong is the magnet??? Quite strong! Check out the video. I am driving on the fairway (bc why would i drive the ball in the rough ). It does still hold on while driving over roots and through bumpy terrain!

The PP NX9 is quick! Compared to an older rangefinder, this one acquires a yardage much faster. I can appreciate that since i prefer to shoot a flag 2-3x.

Been trying to figure out where i can compare to a "calibrated" or set distance. So far been comparing distance between my old bushnell and the new Precision Pro

Wonder if they would be willing to submit for testing.... @Golfspy_CG2 could we get these added to True fit???

@Peaksy68 those look LEGIT!! I'd buy them haha

Awesome! I have enjoyed my Bushnell as well. Without going into too much detail (since i have to post a stage 2 review...), it all depends on if you want to drop some some money on a new one. I used my Bushnell and the Precision Pro side by side and let others use it for about 2-3 rounds now. If you were buying brand new (or sold you old one) and didn't have a rangefinder then its a matter of 'whats another $100-$130 worth to you.' My wife my kill me if i spend $330 on something i already have. ...Clubs are different SPOILER ALERT: I 2nd that, magnet is a beast. I was surprised. More info on that in stage 2! Regardless if i used my old rangefinder or my new Precision Pro, I always shoot the flag 2-3x. Image stabilization can be tough the greater the magnification there is. You're looking a smaller area over a greater distance.
