Me sitting too long and getting up hurts my back sometimes. You sir put me to shame. Was hoping i could get to use this before/after playing hockey too, but thanks to Covid, the rinks aren't open for games. Hopefully within the next couple weeks we start up again and I can get some info from how it stacks up in other sports. Hopping to get on the course the next day or two and start contributing to my testing obligation like you all are. Been having some crappy weather here recently. I'm in the process of writing up a first impression post for here with some initial findings that some may informational? Maybe? I leave you with a puppy trying to escape a bowl. Reminds me a little of myself trying to navigate through my early thirties. Until Next Time!

As my fellow testers have said before me, the word ecstatic doesn't really cover the excitement to get the variety pack from Kanibi. Had an unexpected test run today with the gummies. Dare i say, i'm a 33 year old child sometimes. Big scary spiders? I got 'em. Take a hand saw and saw down far enough through the nail bed of my thumb and when you squeeze, blood shoots out? Fine. Needles? I clam up and get lightheaded. Long story short, went to get a flu shot today. All that being said, popped a gummy about a half hour before I went. Success! I'm a big boy now. So far so good. Can't wait to get on the course and see if my knee and or ankle acts up and see what the cream can do. And actually plan out and do some more extensive testing with this stuff. Looking forward to see what ailments are cured for everyone else too!

Hey everyone, name’s Eric. I live in Long Island, NY. I’m 32 years old. Turning 33 Oct. 26th. (so, you know, if anyone wants to get me a present) First time reviewer, long time forum stalker/reader. Want to thank MGS again for the chance to make my first foray into the CBD world through a test for you all. I dabbled into the THC world quite a bit back in my college years and early twenties, so I guess it’s only fitting (fate? Ironic?) that I was chosen to give the other side of this plant a whirl. Hopefully something that I experienced with the product over the last month or so will sway anyone if they are on the fence with some first-hand information from myself and my fellow reviewers. I don't have any fancy shmansy high-tech stuff to back up any claims, but i'll give you my honest opinion from my eyes and my brain. As much as I can I suppose. So here we go! First Impressions: Was originally slated to receive delivery of the variety pack on Tuesday 9/1. However, woke up Sunday morning 8/30 and, boom, Christmas came early! Wooo! Opened the box, surprisingly without hurting myself, and found these three beauties inside. First box I opened was the sports cream. This one was the most intriguing of the three and was the product I threw my hat into the ring to test out originally. Thanks to both a Hockey injury and a rollover, after hitting an ornamental waterfall car accident, let’s just say that my right leg can tell the weather. (I don’t know if anyone is going to know what that expression means) But if there’s a storm coming, my knee and my ankle get all sorts of whacky. So I went and gave the cream a little squeeze and like a lot of other pain relief creams, got that menthol-minty smell. Curious how this would work when applied to the pain sites. As for the oil, the child safety lock, was also an Eric lock at times. Don’t judge, you know those push down and turn all at the same time gets you too. It’s not just me right? …..right? Well through a little rubber stopper and it got tricky. Then there’s the gummies. This top I could get my whole palm on and open like somewhat of an adult. They’re your standard gummy. Square, covered in sugar crystals. Not going to lie, I popped one in my mouth as soon as I got it open. These could be dangerous, I could eat these all day. Basic Characteristics (26/30) I don’t have any pre-existing conditions and this is my first time using CBD products. So I’m going in with a curious, open mind and seeing what happens. Here’s the breakdown of each one individually getting me to the 26/30 score for me. Oil (9/10) First off, I’m a huge Mint chocolate chip ice cream fan, so the choco mint oil flavor was kind of a no brainer for me. I think they nailed it on the flavoring, and doesn’t have any kind of hempy aftertaste, or really taste at all for that matter. On to how I tested it. I started with taking a dropper when I woke up in the morning to get my day started. On a Saturday, in case it for some reason had an adverse effect and made me pass out at work. In fact, the opposite happened for me. I felt more awake throughout the day, and a lot more productive when taking a dose, and sometimes a second around lunchtime. Overall, pretty happy with the effects it had on me. I think we all had the same issue when trying to pull a full dose (1ml) into the dropper. I don’t think it’s possible. Best I’ve done is slightly past the .75 line. -1 point Gummies (7/10) I started eating the gummies just before I would go out and play a round. I didn’t feel any effects before during or after from the gummies. It wasn’t until I started eating them before bed every night that I saw their true worth, to me at least. Prior to testing, I had not been able to sleep through the night without waking up at least once or twice. The gummies didn’t help right away, but as my testing continued, within the first week, I started sleeping a lot better and was actually only waking up once, and that was to my alarm clock. Gave it an 7 since from what I saw, I don’t think one gummy was enough to do much by itself, but I feel like with continued use, your body will eventually give you the results your looking for. Sports Cream (9/10) Like I mentioned in my first impression of the cream, the combination of a pretty bad car accident and a hockey injury, my right leg has taken a beating. With that, I would get some pain in both my ankle and knee don’t play nice after a while. Applying the cream in those areas when pain comes, I saw pretty much immediate relief which was both surprising and welcomed. Anxiety (10/10) I’ve never really been an anxious person outside of maybe playing golf by myself and being paired with strangers. That being said though, with either a gummy or two, or a full dropper of oil, I found that the nerves were gone and I would play some of the best rounds I’ve put together in a long time. Energy (10/10) Once I found that the oil was my go to morning product, I’ve been much more productive throughout the day, both at work as well as at home after work and on the weekends. My wife appreciates that aspect of this too. Pain (9/10) I don’t usually get any upper body soreness after playing golf. I do get pretty much every time, pain in my right knee and ankle. Application of the cream provided pretty immediate relief. I did however find it wasn’t as long term as it is if you couple it with a dose of oil. Obviously CBD isn’t a miracle cure all, and I’m sure I should probably see a doctor, from more than likely not rehabbing them when I should have. But on a temporary basis, I was given full range of motion and didn’t think about, or feel any pain when using the CBD. My wife even asked to use it when her shoulder was getting sore. She also saw pretty positive results to the point that within minutes she forgot all about her shoulder. Without it, she would have asked me to massage it for who knows how long. So, thanks CBD for saving my thumbs there! Taste (10/10) I don’t really have anything negative about any of the flavor profiles of any of the products. The Choco Mint hit it on the head. Subtle, but flavorful with no aftertaste. The fruit chews were delicious all around. And the cream made my tongue tingly. One of those is a lie. On-Course Performance (14/15) Throughout the testing I wasn’t able to play as much golf as I would have liked. But prior to testing my “control” round pre-CBD, I shot a 92. Not my best, but was my first round on a full course this year, so can’t complain. Fast forward to this Friday going to a bachelor party, when I played Blue Ridge Trail, in Mountain Top, PA. Never played the course before. But I think I played it at the perfect time. It was pretty fantastic with all the fall colors and crazy views. We don't have mountains here on Long Island! Armed myself with a dose of oil, and popped a gummy for good measure. Birdied the first hole, got an 8 on the second hole par 4 (two pars, one hole, woo), but then parred or birdied the rest of the way, with a couple bogeys scattered in on my way to an 81. This, I was pretty proud of. Usually when I play a new golf course, for lack of a better term, it can turn into a “s***-show” real quick if I get too hard on myself. A+ for on course performance enhancement there. Miscellaneous (5/5) Shipping was super-fast. No issues with packaging or any kind of leaks or breaks. Clean, unique packaging on the individual boxes and bottles/containers. Pricing going forward seems pretty reasonable compared to other CBD brands I’ve looked into offering similar products. Side note – Outside of golf, I paint miniatures, among other things. I’m not the best, and I get pretty OCD with it. But during the testing I painted this guy, and it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever painted if I do say so myself. Use it or lose it? (9/10) I’d use it for sure. Kanibi runs at least a 15% off specials with bundles and such fairly often and I think at the price point, you get a good product with pretty decent results. TL;DR From my point of view, I’m definitely a fan of what CBD products bring to the table. That being said, everyone is probably going to have a different experience with it. Not that this is a psychedelic by any means, but for comparison’s sake, I think some of the results are skewed or enhanced by your mindset going into it. If you think positively and want the product to work, you may see better results than if you go in as a resistant skeptic. But from me, I’m a believer that this stuff works, and definitely has its benefits for everyone. Final Score (94/100)

This would look pretty damn sweet in my driveway/garage! Thanks for the heads up on this one

I've been looking for irons for years. I'm still using decade old nike slingshots. But holy crap, between these and the new P770s i may just have to bite the bullet this year and finally retire the Nikes. Wish they were still in the club business, but at this rate, no way they can compete with the big dogs anytime soon.

Taylormade always had pretty sweet designs. Those MCs look sleek. And relatively normal loft strength which im excited about. There's too many irons nowadays with "hit it farther" as their selling point, that are just 3 degrees stronger than average. Curious how these look and feel in person

I seriously can't wait to see who comes out on top of this. Some of the smack talk has me cracking up already. Good luck to all the competitors, my money is on @edingc . I mean how can you compete with a DiCaprio meme cheers-ing to second place? He's got this in the bag.

Peter Finch and Rick Shiels are the only two golf channels I watch. Golfholics isnt so bad either. I'll miss the golf bidder challenges Rick and Pete did.

Thanks for the heads up!

The wife got me gift cards to get myself fitted for christmas. Never got around to going and getting it done....then Corona happened and now i just stare at the gift cards waiting until i can finally schedule one. I've been playing since I was 7, and never gotten fitted believe it or not. I've been using the same nike slingshots that I got as a high school graduation gift (2005). Needless to say, I'm dying to know how much my game improves with a new set of clubs plus the fitting.

67 total points. And hopefully the winning score ends with the numbers of my boxes

Haven't had the privilege to be selected to test myself but have read 99% of the member reviews. Knowing clubs are in the hands of golfers like myself, every day hacks, with flashes of greatness once in a blue moon, I know I'm reading an honest, not sugarcoated review. I only read MGS reviews when doing research on clubs i'm interested in picking up. Can't wait to see what the 2020 season brings to us!

I'm going wild card with David Lipsky for my extra pick. Winning score -14
