yungkory Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The new stability tour putter shafts. Since a lot of folks are staying quarantined, it's probably one of the few tests we could actually accomplish as an entire group? Not everyone has a course around them open right now, but I bet all of us practice putting SOMEWHERE in our house. Might not be the most data-driven forum test ever, but might help the testers pass the time for sure. I know we've seen the articles in the blog already, I want to see if it helps us normal guys hit more putts online. Yes, this is totally a shower thought and I am starting to go crazy thinking about how long it will be before I get to play golf next. We have year round golf so an off-season isn't something I am used to coping with -- first world problem, I know. 4 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: L.A.B.

Imagine what it's like to have a few month off-season, and this happens just as the weather is starting to give us hope for golf. But yeah, I like your idea of homemade tests like this. 1 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: RAZR Fit TourAD something or other 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: Zipcore Black Satin 58* Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x Pix Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrop Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 A test of side-saddle putters would be interesting. Perhaps it would be hard to find a group of testers with enough familiarity with the stroke though. The super-mega-long drivers would be an interesting test too. I'm thinking clubs in the Krank category that typically draw long-drive competitors to put them in their bags.

IN GENERAL .. there's a suggested type and style that works best with a particular putting stroke..?? Not sure if it can really be well quantified, though, since it seems evaluating putters, putter grips, putting strokes usually end up as: "it's an individual feel thing"...... 1 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..PXG Gen5 0811XF (PX EvenFlow Riptide CB 50/5.0 or Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue 45/A) ..Callaway Bertha Mini 1.5 (UST ProForce V2-HL 5/F3) ..Callaway Rogue ST Max OS 4H (PX Cypher Black 50/5.0) ..Callaway Big Bertha 5H (Recoil ZT9 460/F3) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT 60/A) ..Cleveland CBX2 54 and CBX 60 (Rotex graphite) ..EvnRoll ER5 or MLA XDream (..Edel EAS 4.0 on the bench) ..all in a Datrek bag on an MGI Zip Navigator electric cart.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I would like to see a side by side test on GPS watches. Every once in a while there is one or two thrown in with an all encompassing GPS review but not one specific to watches. I'm interested in going this route in addition to my laser. Been reading tons of reviews and just when I think I have it narrowed down there are more poor reviews that pop up. I'm to the point I really only trust MGS and MGS member reviews.

Thank you for the link. Yes I reviewed this last year and was going to pull the plug on the Bushnell NEO- Ion. The more I looked into it the more I found bad reviews. I was surprised about the complaints and customer service issues from a well know trusted company. There are quite a few other manufacturers that were not represented in the watch category that I have been curious about. 1 Quote Driver, TSi1 10* Stiff Flex 3 Wood, SLDR HL 17* R Flex 5 Wood, SLDR 19* R Flex 7 Wood, F6 22.5* R Flex 939x 5 hybrid Irons, 699 Pro's S Flex (6 - AW) JB Wedge 56* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 G400 MAX and LST vs 2020 winners. Max won’t be tested but the LSTe will be. In fact the last 5 winners will be. I am sure they are working through the logistics on how to get people through the testing. Mallet putters testing has restarted and I would expect the final driver test to start soon.
