I have not, I will have to take a look, luckily for me, my organization is changing to using some other nifty tools that work with PowerBI and sooner than later my excel usage should be reduced to almost none.
Now I take a lot of excel flat files/database links, push them through an Alteryx model, and output the results to a Power BI dashboard... it's sooo much better than building presentations in Power Point or constantly building charts/graphs in excel.
Side note: Sorry to 99% of the forums members who don't understand what I just wrote and could care less about excel.

of course this doesn’t fit the 8.0
i love my bag, and i love my cart...but when combined, im constantly fighting my long clubs for access to the mesh net
I know that becomes an issue for A LOT of people. Have you tried moving your clubs around for push cart rounds vs riding cart rounds?
I set my clubs up with the wedges towards the net area of mine like this if I know I'm going to be pushing, and it keeps things pretty well separated. Not sure what bag you have, but it might be worth a try to see if it keeps them out of the way for you.

I can and only want to have to imagine it, I tried before going back and reading pages of applications just for fun, spoiler alert, I was wrong, it was not fun at all.
75% of my work is done with excel and power queries, so I can attest that, a good database foundation makes is much easier to do my full time job, I can hope that it makes it easier for the mods too.
Sounds like my day job... have you tried using Alteryx at all? Super powerful tool for large datasets. It's saved me a bunch of time!

This has been a nice thread. I've been very fortunate to take part in 3 tests for the forums to date. As others have already mentioned I only apply for something that I am really interested in. The reviews are work and you'll be expected to follow through and be active throughout the process. Even in testing a dozen balls with a line on them I had to really think about how it effected my game and if I liked it or not.
I think one of the best things you can do to prep yourself to be selected to test is to post an unofficial test or two using the scoring system from prior official tests. It will give you a good gauge on the amount of work time required for tests.
Also, please post in the WITB thread! If for nothing else I like to see what other members are playing and have had some good conversations in there. It's also a good spot to show case some of your photo/multimedia talents. I always enjoy reviews better if there are good photos/videos to go along with it, and testers are generally expected to have a good balance of text and media in reviews.
Maybe most importantly... Be Honest! I've been fortunate that most of everything I tested worked well for me and I liked. I'm still using the rangefinder I tested, I continue to order balls with the AlignXL aid, and have all of the Cobra clubs still in my bag. At the same time, I've been honest about my struggles with the Cobra hybrid. I even got to tell Cobra what I liked, and more importantly did not like about the equipment last year... which is super cool.
Add to that the number of things I've added to my bag and found out about due to the forum tests/reviews... SuperSpeed, Planemate, Snell balls, Evnroll putters, PuttOUT training aids, etc.
I hope a lot of the new members this year stumble across this and get active outside of the testing threads. I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's so much more to this forum than the official testing threads!

When was the last time you were there...2019?
I wish they had been open in 2019! About a month ago. Not sure how big the market is on single-lengths.... might be worth a call to see if they're still there.
I want to go stop by there soon, I'll take a peek and let you know if they're still there if I do.

Did they give you guys ordering clubs lead times? I know if I try to order it is 10 plus weeks for a stock set. It's time to update my single lengths but I hate waiting.
Last time I was in PGASS in Natick they had a set of used Forged Tec one-lengths on the used rack.... no wait time there! Well other than maybe a grip change, they had the Bryson Jumbo ones on there.

Upright Caddy Golf Push Cart
Here's their description:
Upright Caddy Golf Push Cart
Introducing the patented, revolutionary Upright Caddy 4 wheel golf push cart. The only golf cart on the market that carries your bag and clubs like a caddy would, upright. Ever see a caddy hold the bag backwards to select a club? Tired of struggling to identify, retrieve, and return your clubs to the bag? Tired of ruining your grips? This is the next generation in golf carts!
OR:
It looks like Clicgear has an attachment which would probably be the higher quality option:
https://www.clicgearusa.com/products/clicgear-tour-bag-kit
Description
Designed to Fit Perfectly on our Clicgear Model 1.0 ~ 4.0 Carts.
The Clicgear Tour Bag Kit accommodates TOUR style golf bags for your cart.
Keeps clubs in a vertical position for easy removal and replacement.Outside of that I've been enjoying the PING Traverse / CaddyTec combo so far. I think having a bag with good dividers goes a long way to providing a good user experience.

Had a very similar session today after a couple weeks off due to some crazy work and the kids being home. Felt slow for sure. Got the light and medium up to decent speeds but the heavy was down 5 mph from the last week I did it. Part of it is morning but part of it is the time away. It's always that heavy stick that takes the longest to come back after a break. Still good to get back to it.
Oh yeah the red one can be a b**ch sometimes. Haha. There are days in out of sequence and can struggle to get it over 100mph. Then other days it’s been as fast as my blue.
looking forward to tomorrow’s workout being better. Haha

There's some absolute comedy gold out there on this subject...which reminds me. I have a gallon of 87 octane (ethanol free) that I'll trade for an Evnroll if anyone's interested.
If you thrown in a 2x4 or two you might actually find yourself a buyer. Hahaha

Seems like they might be worth giving a try. I've still got some more Snell and Bridgestone balls to finish testing with... so I won't be buying anytime soon, but if I'm thinking about going back to the Pro V1x I'll give these a swing or two first.

There's another simple way to do this if you're using the built in Safari browser. I think you need to do what Joe did if you are using a non-apple web browser as your main one.
But if you're using Safari:
1. Open up the web page in Safari
2. Click the square with up arrow Icon
3. Scroll to "Add to Home Screen"
4. Select "Add"
5. Enjoy instant access the best forum on the planet from your mobile device.

Trackman session complete! Stopped into my local Five Iron Golf and got a quick session in. After warming up and getting a feel for everything, I logged 5 swings with my new setup (Mizuno ST200 and Nippon Regio Formula MB+ 65X) and then 5 swings with my old setup (Srixon Z565 and Aldila NV Green 65X). Here's the video and the Trackman results below that.
Mizuno Nippon combo:
Srixon Aldila combo:
The data says it all, the Mizuno and Nippon combo is staying in the bag. But I didn't even need the data, I knew it from the feel. The Nippon shaft felt so sturdy and solid through the swing and just felt balanced. I was originally fighting some left pulls but I've gotten more comfortable with the idea that I don't need to aim right and guide it. I can line it up and swing it comfortably. While distance is clearly the winner with the Mizuno/Nippon, I am a little concerned with the spin as it's still a bit high. I don't mind it a bit on the high side because I do want to find fairways, but this should come down a bit and it's possible that some setting tinkering could get it there. Also, I was a bit left and right with the Nippon but at least from the look of the flight on the screen, none of them were way offline or troublesome. A little more work with the driver and that should be fine.
Most importantly, this has done what I had hoped. I don't feel like I have the big right miss and I feel like I can really go after and release this driver with the Nippon shaft. It just feels reliable and I won't have to stand on the tee feeling like I need to guide it, I can swing more freely. I'm taking this out for 18 holes to validate it on Saturday morning so more to come.
Nice looking swing and some pretty awesome early results! It certainly seems like you're onto something with the Nippon/Mizuno combo. More ball speed, more club speed, higher smash... a little adjusting to the launch/spin and you'll have some even bigger bombs with that combo.

I went outside on lunch today and did a SuperSpeed session.... man did I feel slow today.
I barely sniffed in the mid-120's on the light stick. But I feel like I got some decent speeds with the middle and heavy stick. It's been far too long since I've done a full session. I don't think I was feeling the light head all that well today which was messing up my timing.
I want to get to the range at some point this week/weekend. Maybe get out for 9 too, but I needed to get some speed training in!

Anything you could compare the motore X to? I've heard some really great things about that one.
I've hit Mark's Motore X 6x and my Ventus Blue 6x one after another with my Speedzone head. They felt incredibly similar to me. On the 5-6 balls I hit with it I didn't notice a significant change in launch/spin either.

Well we do have 14 weeks until the playoffs start, that is a possible 140 wins.
With that in mind there are a few possibilities.
We all have a chance of the playoffs with so many games left.
Using the current win/loss ration, you get the probable wins and losses for the next 14 weeks, and with that the total wins and losses, however there are still a great chance of the most possible wins, perfect season going forward and most possible losses, complete meltdown season.
I would have to do some statistics on this data, but I do not think anyone is out or in as of yet.
I don't like the cut line right now.... some of you guys at the top want to take a few weeks off?

Schedule release tonight...already excited that the Bills will be rumored to host the Pats on 12/6 in Buffalo on MNF!!
That would actually be a pretty cool Monday Night Football game. Hopefully with someone NOT named Cam Newton under center.
I have to think Brady returning to Gillette will also be a prime time game. Pretty sure it's his chance to beat every team in the NFL. Only think that would make it better is if both teams are coming off a bye and there's two weeks of Bill vs Brady leading up to it. Something in late NOV would be pretty cool.

My bag is locked and loaded too. Super excited for the one length experiment.
I'm loving the amount of Peacoat/Red you guys are choosing. I think that matte blue top looks really cool. Really interested to see how the one-lengths work out. It's temping to try out that's for sure. I'm just not sure I'd get along with a 38ish inch lob wedge.

My CC5 order is locked and loaded! Hoping I don't have to make any substitutions but these are crazy times we live in!
That looks like a solid setup. On paper that utility club looks like it could be a missile launcher.
I think you'll love the MIM wedges. That wide-low 60 is great out of the bunkers.

Could we do a mid season redraft?
I really screwed up mine, somehow I got Bernhard Langer on my original draft team, I love the way Langer plays his game, but definitely did not want to draft him.
and I'm unfortunately stuck in the middle now. just barely a playoff bubble spot. I need my top two guys to perform as both have real potential should I make it into the playoffs, but those are the only two trade worthy guys on my roster, so it's nearly impossible to improve the roster without having less talent at the top.

WANTED: a push cart that holds a bag 90 degrees
in Golf Bags & Carts
Posted
I get that. As a long time stand bag user I'm sort of used to fishing for the right wedge so that part isn't an issue for me. Still, having the bag a little more upright doesn't sound like a bad idea.
