BNewton51 reacted to MisterGiles in PING S159 Wedges
Not sure the selecting wedges scroller worked but I use 60, 56, 50. Maybe because I was on desktop.
Good luck!

Looking foward to this one as a long time ping wedge user. Recently did a fitting on s159 but not much comparison data out there vs glide4.0 and vokey.

Good luck to those that apply! Just replaced the wedges but I will be following along and going to try out the app fitting to see what grinds are suggested.

That wedge app is really cool, if I’m chose to test, I’d love to see how accurate that app fitting really is! The yardages they plugged in according to my PW number is exactly what I carry my wedges!

Just wow, guys. I was looking at these wedges, and WOW! I’m just wholly surprised that MGS forum gets to test them. They look absolutely so, so good.
Good luck all!

Good luck to everyone wanting to test these beauties.. Midnight is my choice!
The app narrows your focus to make a great informed decision, every manufacturer should be offering this kind of tech before your hand over the cash!
Thanks again Mygolfspy!

Remote fitting is becoming more and more common place these days.
I'm very curious to find out how Ping's Webfit App goes

BNewton51 got a reaction from ole gray in 2023 MGS Forum Test: Titleist T Series Irons
I'd find it INCREDIBLY careless for anyone to comment and or think that there isn't full transparency on these testing opportunities. You guys have made everything abundantly clear to so many through each and every post, but most importantly from the initial request post. But that said, yes I think that is a absolutely pivotal comment to make. It should make everyone feel a bit more at ease with the process whether they are picked or not.
No questions on my part! I'm happy with how everything runs currently. Keep doing what you do guys! It's appreciated.

I think it's always an interesting perspective some take on this "testing" component of our MSG group. When I read them, I often times try not to look at it as sour grapes etc... But the "perception" is often times what causes the problem, and I'd offer probably is why many do make posts questioning the results and or the process.
I've been a member for a while now, and I have not been lucky enough to crack the code of getting into one of the testing opportunities, yet. Maybe some day I will, maybe I wont... However, it still wont stop me from posting and applying for the opportunities where I truly believe I would have something to offer the group.
Does that suck not to get picked? Sure. BUT, I also am well aware that we have a robust community of members and EVERYONE wants to be a "winner" in that lottery with a LOT of people applying to test. This often times is the exact reason that causes remarks or posts to come of wrong or questioning of how this process exactly works. Unfortunate, but I think it's the human nature aspect of things that comes into play and causes the reactions we see on some posts. I also think that some of the reaction is a result of seeing folks whom have been picked more than once to do a testing of products. That's where that whole "Not fair..." or folks saying "People are unfairly being given priority..." Again, it's rather unfortunate, but you're definitely not going to please all of the people all of the time as the old adage goes.
There's no easy or way around it in these testing opportunities. Some folks will get more opportunities than others and or will be selected and others whom were not will not be pleased. It's like the guy, or women for that matter, that hits the lottery or let's say a Club Book at your local VFW, Moose or Legion for money. Everyone cries foul cause "they just won!", but that more of then not it truly is just jealousy and or sour grapes.
Reality is this... We all would be considered very lucky and love the opportunity. Doesn't mean we ALL are going to get that chance. MSG as a business, like so many others, and only has so many folks they can bestow the opportunity too. So we all need to just understand that and accept that it may not be our chance, as disappointing as that may come off for some.
Thanks for all you guys do. It's appreciated.

Not quite sure how I missed this until now, but what another fantastic opportunity for the forum members! Thanks Titleist and MGS forum staff!
These irons look so clean! I’ll be building my dream set shortly! Good luck to all those who apply!

Dream set:
T150 GW-9, Aerotech steelfiber 110 stiff, Larmkin Sonar+ wrap midsize
T200 8-5, Aerotech steelfiber 110 stiff, Larmkin Sonar+ wrap midsize
T350 4, Aerotech steelfiber 110 stiff, Larmkin Sonar+ wrap midsize
I’m sure some loft angles would need to be adjusted to get the set to work properly, but I feel like that set up would instill max confidence for me!

That's why it's hard to bribe them! You have to catch them all! 🤣 Just kidding, I've been selected several times as a tester and the first time was when I was newer and very active on the site. I've been a member for a number of years but haven't been as active recently due to changes in my work schedule and just lack of golfing recently. Thus I haven't been selected this year; but I haven't even applied for most of the tests because I knew I wasn't able to fairly fulfill the requirements and give the test it's proper attention. Testing isn't a giveaway. It's a lot of work and you can tell that the people on here who do a good job. They are thorough get frequent opportunities because of the value they bring to the site for the rest of the members. The moderators do a wonderful job of selecting the right people in my opinion to where the products that are tested get really good review so the rest of us can get a really good sense of the product. I personally am interested in the Lamkin UTX test because I would like to switch to that style of grip but will see how others review them before making a purchase.
