GolfSpy BOS

Good morning all and TGIM! (I had an old boss that used to say that at our 9AM weekly meetings) As luck would have it this is actually my 5000th post here on MGS. I'm so grateful to have found this community and now to be part of the forum staff too. There really isn't a better forum on the internet and this thread alone is proof of that! Looking forward to the next milestone and the continued growth of this community in our little corner of the internet here! Cheers all!

To be fair it actually wasn’t bad until it started snowing. The three closed sides kept most the wind off. Even if it was 80* in there I’m still not swinging fast this time of year!

Ah, a nice toey one to show off! I have to say from the 10 or so swings I put on the Mevo+ today I was seriously impressed by how quickly it could calculate the carry distance and read it out to you. The ball wasn’t even done bouncing around the cage before the numbers were being spit out at us. looking forward to more rounds once you have e6 set up! Just please get a propane heater.

That's some nice putting for dormant bumpy grass! The putts with the mirror don't look like you have a ton of arc. Sorry if you mentioned it already, but is there a performance reason you're trying to reduce arc?

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. @sirchunksalot!

snow was getting onto @Lacassem’s mevo+ he didn’t wanna test the waterproofness today.

4 iron made it! unfortunately it started snowing so we didn’t play a full round today, I probably would have whooped @Lacassem’s ass anyway.

Naturally. I think that and the Edison PW will cover me for most situations.

Happy Sunday Spies! Lazy day so far, we'll be heading over to @Lacassem's place later on for some last Christmas gift exchange with the kids and some good food as usual! Might just have to check out his new garage simulator space as well!

got mine! Love the quality of the forum logo as others have mentioned. They feel slightly thicker than the Sussex model, but the fit was nice and tight. Seems like these should hold up well over time!

Mine have made it to MA! Although it still says Tuesday. Hopefully they sneak on the mail truck tomorrow.

TGIF all! Hoping to get out of work on the early side today and start enjoying the long weekend. Unfortunately the weather is not looking good over the weekend, but at least it looks like the big storm will be rain rather than snow. I'm already looking forward to Spring!

Happy Thursday all! Release Season is certainly in full swing now with the embargo up on the Cobra Darkspeed today! Looking forward to watching some of those videos on lunch today and get the early reports. My driver is now technically coming up on its 3rd birthday... so maybe there will be something in one of these drivers for me this year.

Hot damn those look nice! Throw them on the must try list for the year! I think I like the little red accents on the max model the best.

And I sent it over to @GolfSpy SAM you are good to go Jason!

Is it after noon already!? Where does time go.... Good morning to all west of the Mississippi I guess! Got some exciting testing news this morning that's all I can share for now! Hope everyone on the east coast is above water and doing well today. Absolutely crazy how we've gone from flooding rains to snow and back to flooding rains the past few storms.

I’m not a high spin guy, one of these 10k types might allow me to drop down to a 9* head and not see a significant difference in launch/spin/ball-speed. Only one way to find out right?!

Good morning afternoon all! Don't know where time went this AM... guess I spent too much time geeking out over the new 10K drivers. I just love reading about the tech each year. Not that I think any driver is going to give me a lot more yards, but I still like to see the tech and ideas behind changes from year to year.

love it! What do you use to create the .gif? I have a feeling some folks will want to steal that!

The easy solution is to beat me so badly on the course I have nothing to say…. or wear pants, just not white pants.

Happy Snowday all.

Good morning all! Currently at dance with my daughter, the. The boys both have basketball later. after that I’ll be chopping some wood and getting ready for the snow storm tomorrow. As the official New England rules state, the greater I prepare for the storm the less actual snow we will receive.

got him officially registered!

Argolf Mordred LT Putter Member Testing Review - BOS edition We’re back for another BOS edition review! This time I was fortunate to be able to put the Argolf Mordred LT putter through its paces to see if the performance lives up to the all black For those of you who don’t know me; Hi! I’m Bryan, or as I’m better known around these parts, GolfSpy BOS. I’m a 36 year old single digit handicap with hopes and dreams of getting to scratch and about 1/18th the time required to put in the practice to do so. When I’m not golfing or dreaming of golfing I can most likely be found on some youth sports field or carting one of my three wonderful children around to some activity. Thankfully, my oldest has already taken to the sport and my other two have shown interest as well! So, It seems I will have some built in golf-buddies for life. But enough about me, onto the review! First, thank you to Argolf for allowing me the opportunity to join in on this review. I am excited to take the Mordred LT putter and put it toe-to-toe against the Evnroll ER2B currently in the bag. First Impressions - 18/20 “The Mordred putter was recognized as one of the best putters at the 2019 PGA Show. Rooted in the heart of Brittany, France, we meticulously craft our putters.” Each putter in the Argolf line is named after a legend of King Arthur. Don’t let that fool you into thinking this putter is some relic of ancient history though, founder Olivier Colas found a great deal of inspiration from the sleek lines and performance characteristics of modern Formula 1 race cars, which can be seen with the crisp and clean lines and sweeping nature of the curves in the Mordred LT. The Mordred LT is said to boast “an impressively low center of gravity,” the lowest of all Broceliande Collection in Argolf’s putter line. It also “achieves one of the highest MOIs available.” While I cannot directly measure those things here at home, we will certainly put the claims to the test as best we can! My Mordred LT putter made the journey from France, to New Jersey, to Bellingham in an impressively short 16 hours. Yes, faster than most “2-day shipping” that most of us are now used to! The packaging is your standard brown box which aptly handled the transatlantic journey with ease. Removing the putter from the plastic wrap and bag revealed a striking, but not totally unfamiliar shape for this mallet putter. It was not as big as I thought it may be, fitting in nicely with most winged-mallet profiles. The single bend shaft provides just a touch of toe hang. The only issue I found with fit and finish was a small mark on the shaft. It does not affect the performance, and cannot be seen while putting, but I did want to note that it did slip by QC. Aesthetics, Sound, and Feel - 17/20 The Mordred LT putter has a great black on black look that would be enhanced with the optional black shaft offering to really go all out on the murdered out look. The only putter is finished in a nice and clean black finish that has some pearlescence to it in the bright sun. The sole paintfill on the putter is the stark white alignment line on the top of the putter. Those who enjoy a clean and simple putter will like this a lot. Getting onto the shape, it is not generally what I end up fitting into, as I tend to prefer blade style putters, but I always enjoy the look of fang style putters and have always been drawn to them on the shop floor. This one looks good to me. It is thicker towards the face and has a sort of crescent shaped line before the putter starts to curve down and thin out in the back. It’s very well done and looks great in full lit conditions where the crisp milling can best be noticed. It really does feel like I’m looking down at some F-1 style wing at times when rolling putts with the Mordred LT. What has surprised me the most is the white alignment aid on the topline of the putter. Typically this is something that I would avoid, having been used to lines on blade flanges versus the top. But as I used the putter more I started to appreciate it more, with and without using a line on my ball for aim. What I really like is that it gives me a point to focus on for impact, and the Mordred LT’s mark is cut like a V which gives it the impression of coming to a point which only enhances the visual for me. My only knock on this putter for this category is that it feels a touch firmer than I’d prefer, but I am used to the Evnroll, which feels softer than most on center due to the sweetface technology and the way the ER2B works. For most, I’m certain that the feel of this putter would rate very well. It is solid with a nice “tock” at impact. The Numbers - 20/20 When it comes to numbers for this putter I didn’t have any GC Quad, Trackman, or Quintec data to share, but I ran the putter through a “Gauntlet” drill versus my ER2B. I set balls up at 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-feet using my putting mat and rolled 2 balls from each distance. I kept track of how many perfect putts I got and gave those bonus points. Over the course of two days I ran this drill 10 times each and the results were: Mordred LT - Total Score 187 with 23 perfect putts ER2B - Total Score 187 with 23 perfect putts. That’s not a misprint, I scored exactly the same with both putters. If we take a look into the round breakdowns each had a low round score of 14, which basically meant no perfect putts, but all putts holed. There’s really nothing in the individual round variance to pull from Either. The Mordred LT more than held its own against my fitted gamer that I’ve been putting with since 2020, not a small accomplishment at all! On The Course/At the Practice Facility - 17/20 All of my work with the Mordred LT has been at home, on the practice mat and on the carpet in the living room. This has allowed me to practice short and long putts and depending on who vacuumed last, some breaking ones too. Much of what I saw in the gauntlet drill translated to the carpet without its alignment aids and much more in line with “real” putting. The putter rolled smooth and has a familiar milled feel that I prefer. I noticed a slight right-side bias in my misses, which tends to be the case for me with mallet putters like the Mordred LT. I was consistently able to square the face as evidenced by the end-over-end role of the line on my ball. That’s generally how I can tell if a putter is a good fit for me. If I get onto a practice green before passing this along I’ll update this section but wouldn’t expect any changes from my comments. It certainly seems like this would be a strong performer! The Good, The Bad, The In Between - 15/20 The Argolf Mordred LT is a superb putter with an interesting and unique take on the fanged design. It appears to live up to the hype of being very forgiving and provides a great roll. The Mordred LT does come in a few different finish options and I would love to see Argolf add a few more alignment aid styles as well, or perhaps a custom program we now see with a lot of OEMs. The black finish is great. It is consistent all the way around and has shown no signs of wear. I actually wish they added some paintfill on the engraved bits on the bottom. Something in glossy black would keep the blacked-out theme while adding a touch of visual interest on the sole. Lastly, I ordered this with the mid-size pistol grip. It’s a standard style grip, but I would probably go for something different if I was keeping this one for myself. Oh, and the back can be used to scoop up the ball! Bonus! Overall Total 87/100 The Argolf Mordred LT Putter is a great milled mallet putter featuring unique, F1 inspired shaping along with a solid but soft feel from the milled grooves in the face of the all blacked out putter. I can see this being a hit with mallet players who like the Fang or winged look, and even spider style users too. If you ever have the chance, it may just be worth rolling one for yourself.

Looks like @GolfSpy BOS-Dad is a go as well. Planning on driving down me thinks. Almost went the train route, but the return train times don't line up well.
