Have you purchased based upon the Product Reviews?

Recommended Posts

I'm with Bigtazz, I read a lot of reviews as a guide line before I decide to make a purchase, but ultimately they need to feel and look good in my hands. I definitely plan on purchasing a box of Snell MTB balls, hearing many positive feedback about these balls.

I live so far away from anywhere that I could just go in and test stuff that I do research online to make my test trips more focused. I don't always choose the "most wanted" or "gold medal" winner in the hot list, but I will look at the ones that were sneaky good or that could have tested better if [reason] happened. Big Bertha Alpha was top ten in the most wanted testing despite having limited options. It outperformed everything (wish I would've tested Nike).

 

At the end of the day it's a jumping off point, not the be all end all.

Few of the things I've bought are: Tour Tempo (app and books), Ping TR, SC 100, just to name a few..

 

One of the reviews that I really appreciate are the golf bag reviews - they're extremely detailed and have bags that I wouldn't consider like the Wilson Nexus, for one.

I haven't made a lot of golf purchases, but all the purchases I have made have been made after reading reviews. My Bushnell range finder, golf pride grips and my Wilson DUO U's. Going into a store with some pre education always helps my final decision. It's easy when you only need to worry about personal preference and feel.

Well, I just ordered a Projekt Kozmak golf bag based on the Most Wanted Stand Bag reviews. There's not a lot of information out there on these bags, so I'm really trusting the MGS ratings. I don't know that I 100% buy equipment based on reviews but they do give me a much better idea of what I'd like to try, so when I go to a golf store, I have an idea of what to expect.

Oh, oops, to answer Foz's initial question: Yes!

 

Reading reviews from regular, amateur players - who describe their game; the good and the bad - and so give such a great "context" with which one can then judge the suitability of the product to their own game and style.

 

Certainly, cute taglines like "pick your distance" or like "fast and forgiving" cannot really do much to help indicate if this or that products fits into _my_ game.

 

So, yeah THANKS! to the MGS contest winners and forum members - and staffers - who use their personal time to write up actually useful information!

I did get a Leupold range finder based in part on the Most Wanted test and generally have been pretty happy with it. I've been using Bridgestone B330RX for a long time but I did find a Snell ball on my course the other week (it has since found the graveyard in the weeds). The last big piece of equipment I purchased was a Scotty Cameron blade, but that was based on a fitting at my course and not Most Wanted because, obviously, SC blades don't seem to stack up that well.

The personal information in the reviews came as the result of suggestions from forum members. I agree that it's extremely helpful. There are lots of guys here who I respect and enjoy but their games are radically different from mine. Through the background info I've been able to pinpoint the people whose games are similar to mine.

 

So if Plaid Jacket or Big Stu or Kenny is posting something about equipment that works I'm looking very hard at that product.

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

I'm one of the unfortunate ones that can't go out and try my equipment because there is no place for me so I depend greatly on the reviews I read and this site has got me playing equipment I never knew existed. My TourEdge exotics driver, CB 4 3 wood and 3 hybrids. My Snell MTB ball. This site has helped me tremendously and I truly appreciate having it.

I'm one of the unfortunate ones that can't go out and try my equipment because there is no place for me so I depend greatly on the reviews ...

FYI:

A few manufacturers are starting to offer online ordering of a 2 or 3 week trial of a limited set of clubs.

 

Two that I've found and used this season:

• Wilson - three irons for $10 (I tried the C200s and loved them but then ended up with Cobra F6s)

• Hogan - two wedge set for $20 (you can also trial their irons)

 

In both of these cases the price paid included a return shipping label. The only downside is very limited to no customization options.

Not as yet but have been especially interested in the ball reviews and have looked into purchasing some. I like the boutique, style of these companies and which originally got me playing Srixon balls when they first came out. Maybe a new ball could be available based on my interest from the reviews here.

I was talking about the lack of demo days and companies that actually come in my neck of the woods. I mean, ping only came once in the 5 years I've been going to demo days. Maybe I'm grasping at straws here but would love to see companies like TourEdge and Wilson staff around here. Geez even Nike don't come. it's a real bummer

Well I've only been a member for about a week, so I haven't bought anything in that time.  But I did say this earlier in the Cobra F6 thread, if I had seen those reviews before purchasing my current irons, they would have gotten a serious look.  

 

I'm sure going forward there definitely will be purchases made as a result of MGS reviews and feedback.

Be sure and post your comments as well as pix of the clubs you bought.........especially the "Trial" set of Hogan TK15 wedges.

 

Foz, and all defenders of the SCOR / TK15 empire ;-)

 

Sorry ... I did not purchase the TK 15 wedges, though the trial was way way waaaaay worthwhile. I liked them, but didn't totally love them, but am keeping them 'on the list' of candidates.

 

The good:

They are undoubtedly a quality manufactured and finished product. Nice features included their "V Sole" - really does work; the stock KBS shaft is great; the "Tour Velvet" style grip is good; and also nice is the head shaping that makes the face appear square to your line when you open it up.

 

The not-so-good for me:

To order a trial you go through their online WedgeFit process and .. appear to be .. able to order specific lofts and customizations, like shaft length and extra wraps under the grip. I'd wanted a 54 and a 58 as those are what I play now and was looking to replace. Instead I'd received a 51 and a 59; both stock length and lie. Not that big a deal - I certainly understand it from the business perspective of turning around "rentals" - but on the other hand if you didn't send these back in time ... you bought 'em!

 

Anyway, I did put the 51 against 50, and the 59 against the 58, both on the range and on the course. These immediately felt quite solid to me and, I guess, "confidence inspiring" in that the ball did fly true off the face and on-line. Easy to hit it high, low, punch, lob, etc. etc.

 

The 51 did not feel like enough of an improvement over my new-this-year 50 to warrant changing at this time. The 59, though, definitely was, but... I wasn't going to keep and pay for this one since if I'm gonna spend that money then I'm gonna get exactly what I want.

 

The biggest 'holdback' factor for me - and this is, of course, personal preference - but these wedges have a much firmer feel (of the ball on the face) than what I've been playing and gotten used to.....

 

A "nice to have", and maybe they have plans for this, would be add'l optional finishes instead of only the bright chrome.

 

Anyway, there are two or three other wedges I'd like to try before deciding, but like I said I'll def keep these on the list of possible replacements ... and I can definitely well recommend to anyone else looking at new wedges to test these out.
