    I have 2 tour issue Callaway heads if you're still looking. 
    MAVRIK Max Single Diamond 8.5* (Max sized head but no heel weight.  Has adjustable weights in front and back like the Sub Zero)
    Epic Flash Sub Zero Double Diamond 8.5* head (Lowest spin of the EF Diamond Heads)

    I worked at an independent shop for a while so I can easily change out the adapter. Callaway is more of a personal preference

    If you know what you want it's always good to look for offers here.  Even if you want a new Rogue ST, you should still be able to do $75-100 less than retail, plus no tax.
    Also, not to throw a wrench into things, but if you are truly wide open as your revised post indicates, you can usually get an independent golf shop to pull a tip and install a new one for like $10 so you don't have to be limited to Callaway.  As long as you get a shaft or an adapter with the head you could potentially be in the market for any brand and still use your existing shaft.

    It may help to post a little more about what you are looking for.  Do you want another low spin head?  Loft?  Budget?

    Young_Gerald reacted to GolfSpy_APH in Forum Testing Update   
    EDIT: Please check above post for several updates that have been made which have addressed several of the comments and concerns raised later in this thread. 
     
    Hello all, 
    Over the last few weeks we have been receiving a variety of questions about the new forum testing feature and how it is working as well much more questions regarding its placement and so on. In this post I am going to do my best to guide/answer most of those questions to hopefully clear any confusion up that any member may have. I will also include some screenshots which will hopefully help with getting a good visual of where we are at and how to understand this change a little better. 
    As always changes can be difficult and at times frustrating, however the end result of this change should provide great benefits to the site and assist in new members and guests to more easily able to find the product reviews and simplified ratings they want. 
    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Lets start with where reviews will be- All reviews will be housed in the testing opportunities section. However we will do our part in updating the titles to ensure everyone is aware of where each test stands and at what stage it is in. This will look like the following
    Stage 1- Testers Wanted: (item tbd) - This will be when the testing item is in the signup stage. There will be a banner up top notifying there is a test available for signup and the rest is pretty self explanatory.
    Stage 2- Sign Up Closed: (Item TBD) - We will change this within a day or so of when the sign up is closed to help prevent additional posts in the comments section saying pick me pick me! This will stay until we are ready to announce testers.
    Stage 3: Testers Announced: (Item TBD) - This we already have and is pretty self explanatory, but we will keep this title until we have heard back from all the selected testers and got the information we require. In general this will stay as is until our testers are ready to post their introduction post.
    Stage 4: Test In-Progress: (Item TBD) - Again this we have already started, but this will determine when a test is underway and will signal  for all of us as members to ask our questions, get to know the testers and for the testers to have received their product and start putting it through its paces and given it the thorough review our membership so often provides. 
    Stage 5: Official Review: (Item TBD) - This will be the final title for the test and will be changed once we have the official reviews from the testers. 
    With all of this we will update the titles as frequently as possible and put them in the appropriate box so you can select them (apologies for those who don't use dark or night mode, but my eyes have a really hard time with a white screen so all screenshots are with nightmode and on computer. I can look to do mobile screenshots on request in a follow up post. The red box indicates the status (currently only open and closed options) will have added selections thus being able to only see open, in progress and so on. Here you are also able to search for specific reviews by product name, vendor or equipment type (ie drivers, putters and so on).


    I hope this makes sense to everyone and will assist in clearing any of the testing opportunities section confusion up. 
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Now the reviews themselves. As some of you may have seen already there are two tabs when you click on the review. One for review and one for comments. 
    At the top when you look at the test you will see a few notable things- avatars of all testers, highlights of star ratings and the initial testing post. 


    I have highlighted the follow, testers, and star ratings which I will come back to in a minute...

    Just below from that there will be your reviews and comments- If you want to see reviews simply stay on the tab and scroll down. You'll be able to see all reviews right here. This is essentially what the old "placeholder" post was and is where we will see introductions, important updates, unboxing and final reviews for all of our testers. (currently working on like system for reviews as well)
    The comments section acts as the rest of the thread would normally be and is where we ask you to post any and all questions to the testers and where some smaller updates may be. 
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Now to back to what I was going to talk about with the highlighted features above. Again before I dive into this I would suggest that if you have questions about why reviews are not showing up in the recent content tab that you check out @GolfSpy MPRthread on setting up a custom stream. This will help all of these tests to show up in your recent content so you don't miss a beat.
    There are also a few other ways to make sure you are able to keep up with the reviews. I have gone over one feature, but we have two other quick ways to make sure we don't miss any of the new content coming from the tests we want to follow, which most of us know and use already, but still worth mentioning for those who have not used or know about these features.
    One: Follow the thread! Simple easy and gives you notification on any new post or comment that comes up within the thread. I use this a LOT... it also means I have a good few notifications each morning, however it is without a doubt one of the easiest ways to ensure you are not missing anything you want to see even if you do not set up a new stream. 
    Two: Follow a tester: Again one I use a lot as there are so many good members here and its nice to follow along with the content they post in. This is great because if there is a tester that is similar to you it will enable you to follow along specific to them and again not miss any relevant information within the test as well as any other threads they may post in. Example you follow me and you'll see a lot of Fantasy Golf content haha
    These are some easy ways to follow along and make sure you are able to keep up with the testing that is relevant to you and take part in the testing as you see fit. 
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Since this post has gone on just about long enough, again we as a Mod team are doing what we can to make this transition to the new system a little smoother and being a newer Mod team we are hard at work making sure tests are running on time and keeping everyone up to date as best as possible. With backorders and so on it has certainly been a tricky season, but we are excited for all the tests we have running as well as the tests that are coming! 
    We hope that this helps clear some of the confusion up and will continue to work to streamline the testing section to make it easy and accessible for all. 
    Thank you, 
    Mod Team

    Decided to build this with some left over 1in pipe and a piece of plywood. I used 550 paracord and just drill a center hole through a range ball. It's attached to the pipe with a PVC end that I cut off the backside. Works really well just like seem on TV.

    If you don't want to drop a bunch of cash one - I just bought this the other day:
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RNCW7VT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
     
    I use TheGrint - and it's yardages are spot on. I was halfheartedly looking for a rangefinder with slope to add to the bag - and also to get more reference points for bunkers etc.
    I had some kind Amazon credit so the $79 one I listed cost me @ $50.  It's dead on tested against two different GPS apps and a Bushnell. Slope actually came in handy last round. The guy with the Bushnell was PISSED when he found out how much it cost me  - so he mentioned the only downside - it's BLUE.

    How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?  I've been golfing for as long as I can remember, my grandparents started teaching me when I was 8 (Roughly 16 years) My handicap has been pretty steady the past couple years. My handicap was around 5 throughout the from 2014-2018 (I was working at a golf shop/range in Southwest Michigan) now that I'm back in Illinois and working full time I haven't had much time to actually practice, last year my average score was around 82-85. With everything going on in today's world I've had plenty of time to practice my short game at home, hoping to get my handicap back down this season.
    What do you love about golf?  Growing up I was always involved with team sports. My favorite part of golf is the fact that it's you and your clubs, never having to rely on someone else to do their job to succeed. Obliviously in a team sport it's easy to put the blame on someone else and not address what you could've done better, whereas in golf all the focus is on how you can improve your own skills to be the best you on the course.  
    What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I've been following MyGolfSpy for awhile now but just decided to join the forum page to have conversations with real people who actually understand the struggles/equipment that amateurs face.
    Where are you from? What is your home course?  Born and raised in Illinois. Do not really have a home course, but I normally play at Sanctuary/Silver Lake/Green Garden/Odyssey 
    What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best for my area would be amount of courses in my area with the worst being the conditions post rain. I'm not sure why but most of the courses around me have terrible drainage.
    What do you do for a living?  Although I wear many hats at my current job, my "official" title is International Operations Manager for a Third-Party Logistics Company 
    How’d you pick your user name? My legal first name is Gerald so all my friends used to call me Young Gerald because even at 23 years old I look like I'm 12
