ole gray Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 I found MGS while researching used clubs to buy and was quickly sucked in by the data driven side of things. The information is presented in a straight forward, non marketing way that gives you an real idea of how the products might actually work for you. Every other site I found was either influenced by marketing or based mostly on opinion. Add to that the lack of big egos and generally friendly tone of the forum and you get a very comfortable, non threatening, source of information for the beginner and experienced golfer alike.

Headhammer Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Saw a tweet about becoming a member tester for an Odyssey putter, primarily joined for that reason. After perusing the site for the last week I really like the premise of debunking the inflated marketing claims of equipment makers*. Sorry if I'm reviving older threads, but I tend to seek out my other interests first when I join a new forum. * As a disclaimer, I am career marketer, but have always prided myself on under promising and over delivering. bullldog, cksurfdude, ole gray and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you for sticking around after the Odyssey Putter contest ran it's course. There will be plenty of other chances and folks like you who stay for the long haul, will get their opportunities.

Could it be MGS is the best dayuuuuuuummmmm golf equipment info site on the planet? I think so! Why did you join?We both dayuuuuuuummmmmm well know it is!! I joined not to be a tester (but funny how that worked out anyway) I joined because I had read a couple extremely well written and researched pieces by Tony and John on the blog page. Then saw the forum section and checked it out. It has grown so much. When I joined just over a year ago, I could read most every active thread in a matter of an hour or so. Now I can't get caught up on them at all (thanks Shankster). There is just so many good topics being contributed to by so many members.

AWLBMW Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I enjoy the non affiliated, no biased, and scientific insight written in reviews (ie cg locations/ most wanted/ milled putters/ putter grips to name a few). I enjoy discussing how human beings play and think about golf, rather than over inflated Herculean giants with super swing speeds. Also the no deranged banter of equipment belittling or talent trolling make this site superior to me.
