2020 Official Member Review: Hogan GS53 driver
JScott replied to StrokerAce's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
Played 9 last evening. No Rattle. This driver sounds, looks, and feels awesome! I am having a hard time getting set over the ball and I think i know why. The face bulges out (at least to my eyes) and it seems that the toe and heel sit further back. In other words, it seems the actual hitting area for the face is small. Anyone else noticing the face seems overly rounded? Results from practice session with my personal launch monitor (VoiceCaddie SC300)--Ball speed 156ish on average, swing speed 105ish on average, carry was 260ish on average. The ball did not curve at all. If i missed it left or right it was due to pull or push (again, not comfortable getting lined up over the driver). Results from actual play: played 9 holes on my home course. usually hit my driver on 1,2,4,5,6,. 3 is a par 3, 8 is a par 3 and 7 has trouble at the end of the fairway so usually hit 3 wood. 9 is a par 5 with water at end of fairway. For the Hogan test, I hit driver on 7. Launch was higher than usual (which is fine). I hit the fairway on 1,4,5,7 so 4 out of 6 fairways. I carried the ball further than normal but total distance was about the same. On the 4th hole I hit a great drive and was probably a good 7 yards closer to the green than normal. The fairways i missed were a yard or so off the fairway, nothing out of play. So far, I love the look of the driver itself but i can not how to get it to sit square (still messing around with the settings). I also love the feel of the ball off the face (i am noticing my ball marks on the face seems slightly higher than center--probably explains the higher flight). Lastly the sound...it sounds slightly louder than say a Taylor Made M5 but not as "metallic" sounding as say a Titleist TS 3. So far, so good with results. If you asked me right now if I would game this...yes. Best bang for the buck! -

Very windy here today. This driver seems to launch the gall higher. I also kept noticing a left miss. Most ball marks on the face are center to slight higher than center. Still love the sound of the ball coming off the face -

Hi all, a way more detailed review soon but I hit some balls w this yesterday. The set up behind the ball is fantastic..the contrast of the ball and the dark head is stunning. The head is slightly rounded and I like that classic look. The sound of the ball coming off the face is so nice. It is not muted nor does it should like a gun being fired. The only ‘downside’ I see is the club seems to looked closed to me. I found it slightly hard to get set up. I need to play around with the adjustable settings. More soon, but very encouraged so far! -
At this point, I would be happy to play the "play every hole" challenge. I am in MD and we are one of 6 states remaining with no course openings.

I really want to buy a "personal" launch monitor and looking at Swing Caddie 300. Thoughts?

2020 Official Member Review: Titleist T100S/T200 irons
JScott replied to GolfSpy MPR's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
Just curious, where is Titleist open? I ordered some custom irons weeks ago and was told all production was stopped for custom orders of any kind. Thanks! -
The Masters is hands down my fav sports event. Wonder what TV coverage will be in the heart of college and Pro football. CBS carries it all. I will be dark by 6:30 in November, right?

What's going to be the best/worst part of your game post-quarantine?
JScott replied to STUDque's topic in General Q&A
When they redo the greens with Carpet/Rugs, I will be on tour, so i am assuming putting will be the best. Short game will be the worst. Wife is not too keen on my practicing the flop shot indoors. -
OK, road trip to MN and IL.

So am hearing of some golf courses in the MD/VA area still "closed" but will allow members to walk the course provided they do social distancing. I am all for it. Anyone else hearing/seeing this? -

Hybrids vs Driving irons and What to buy
JScott replied to Sasquatch's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
Remember, most hybrids these days are adjustable. Most driving irons are not (Besides bending them possibly). -
