Sign up Closed: Edel Array Putters

I love what Edel has brought to the table. I would love to test out the Array F-2 against my Mizuno M-craft VI that I absolutely love. Let's do this!

Everybody will do an iron fitting but nobody wants a putter or golf ball fitting and like you said that's where you score!!!

I would be hard pressed to say everybody and nobody. Blanket statements like that are just tough. Especially with DTC companies and more. 

Ball fitting isn't as common, but testing here on the forum for members is big 

I would just tend to lean away from those all encompassing blanket statements that well are just not true.

I use an Edel round grip on my PLD, which I was fit for and would love to experience a true Edel  F-2 mallet head . Count me in!

Would love to get fit for a putter as I have never been fit.  Edel has some great looking putters.

David Edel fitted me personally in September 2018 with one of his mallet putters. I don’t know why he got booted from the company. I’d like to test one of the next generation putters. I think my perspective might be unique. 

Was always interested in Edel Putters. Would be cool to win this one. Good luck all. 

Currently have a Scotty but still an average putter. Can only assume a fitted flatstick would help the cause. Have an Edel fitter a couple miles down the road

If it wasn't still winter here, I'd be all over this!

Have always been interested in the Edel fitting system. Would love to give these a shot to see if the alignment science can help me on the greens!

Future and potential testers, please.go read thus post.  

 

This is awesome I would love to get a fitting and try out edel finally. I'm in the market for a putter and would love to have it personalized for me. The 4 picked will be very fortunate.

I don't post much here, so I'm not on the short list, even though I've asked to be.  I only post where I have questions or have real knowledge, unlike the majority who post a lot and say very little.

Asked to be? 

No profile photo = no selection. I know you are aware of this because I'm previous threads you've participated in its been discussed. 

While I know you don't like our criteria or agree with it. It works and if someone can't follow the simplest things we ask for we are certainly not going to reward/trust them with a member testing opportunity.

Been using the same putter for about 15 years and haven’t ever thought of changing, being fit for a putter when I bought mine wasn’t really a thing to consumers that I know of. Would be really interesting to see the fitting process and if I would end up with something similar to what I have or something completely different.

I don't post photos on any forum or social media page. It's meaningless criteria, and has no relationship to whether a poster to your site has any knowledge, ability, experience, etc., about testing any tool.  On science boards, no one posts a photo, there are other ways to validate one's knowledge. Hell, call Nick and ask him about me.

I don’t think you have to have a personal photo of yourself.  I think you can just put a picture up.  I have one of my golf bag.

This is correct. It can be a photo of anything, e.g.;  a dog, a tree, the grass.

I have a picture of my dog and have been selected for a test.  Like @Owengeorge13 said, doesn’t have to be you.

Mods have been very clear with requirements, one being a photo…it’s ok if you don’t want to post a picture, that’s your decision.

Meaningless to you.

Sorry I don't know Nick and won't be reaching out either. You've stated you have connections, or eluded to the fact you do. 

If that's the case and you would want to even be remotely considered in the future. Showcasing your elite review skills by doing an unofficial review on some product would be a first step. However I will say reviews that dont have photos are dry and make for long reads. 

Some love diving into the data, some want to see photos and hear more about the experiences. Your value in a review is clearly in the data, great. However there are 100k plus members here with a million different tastes, handicaps, skills and preferences. 

This is why we have everything setup how we do.

For hard data and just that Most Wanted Testing and The Lab series on the main site will be up your alley.

In the end this Forum is a community of golfers sharing their experiences, thoughts and opinions. Not everyone is going to agree, which is fine. Yours does not align with mine, however as the person leading this forum and guiding it's general direction we have found great success in the way we run our member testing. 

Our forum members love it, the companies involved who provide gear for free with no influence on the results of the tests are more eager now than ever before to participate and we as a forum have seen steady growth in large part due to our testing platform and how we get new members involved as well as golfers of all abilities and backgrounds.

In the end if you want to be involved it's straightforward. Regardless if you like our methods or not. However if you decide to not do the basics (which is also fine) the likelihood of being selected is essentially zero and there should be no complaining or being upset about not being selected as hundreds of others are putting in the time and effort to be part of this community and will be excellent testers for the opportunities they are chosen for.

Moving on... who else is similar to me and almost more interested in the fitting than the product itself?

It’s a great opportunity for those that are selected…will be interesting to see if they are fitted into the model that they would have chosen without a fitting.

Another great opportunity! I would definitely be more interested in the fitting process than which putter I end up with! Never had an in person putter fitting, and it would be great to compare one of these to my L.A.B. and Sacks Parente putters.

As mentioned by @TJ Hall I would be curious to hear how many were fitted into a model they would otherwise have not chosen. As an example, I game a blade model and I'm not sure how I would react to a mallet style proving to be more effective...

For me, I have increased my thought process on the fitting process since I joined MGS. Once I narrow down the product choices for me, then work on getting fitted as close to what works the best, and now I find that it still takes me a while to get confidence in the product that was fitted for me. 

Short answer, more interested in the fitting...

That's honestly the part I'm most interested in hearing about. After seeing the SP putter fitting, it will be cool to see how this compares.
