Make sure to fully update your profile. Havng an Avatar in your profile is one of the first things looked at as it personalizes your profile a bit. A WITB helps as well. We believe this is going to be avery good year for member testing, and we love having new testers all the time.

Jimboslicer Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I joined because I like to read reviews from real people with real experience with the product. A lot of reviews on Amazon and google place the highest reviews first and it’s hard to find the bad reviews. People will also have a bad experience with the company and roast the product for no reason other than them not liking the company. Obviously the opportunity to be part of some of the testing is a bonus too. GolfSpy_APH, GolfSpy_SHARK and EasyPutter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 So talking abour our first post, got me looking for mine and I noticed on my profile, I passed 12,000 today!! Here's my first post from 2016. Kind of funny that I updated it 18 months later as I relaized how lame it was for a first post. At the time, I was very actice on a site that shall not be named, but begins and ends with THP And got tired of the way members were treated there if you didnt suck up tothe owner let alone disagree with one of his opinons. So I found MGS and haven't looked back since.

wbn Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I joined because of the information they provide. I am a golf nut and am always looking for information to help me with my game. Their equipment reviews are honest and cover just about any question you may about the item they are reviewing. Their staff is very knowledgable and seem to be always trying to improve on that. In short, I trust their reviews and rely on them when making a decision on a certain piece of equipment.

mackdaddy Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I joined back in the early years when you just had a handful of testers and showed data for each of them in each test. The data was not as useful overall but for me it was great because you had a tester named Dan that had similar swing speed and age as me. I liked the way you told it like you saw it and screw the manufacture if they were full of crap. I think that many of the companies stopped sticking there subpar off year junk on the market. I have found companies I would never have found on my own. Find it cut it may have changed the ball market forever. I donate because I believe in what I get from the site.

eddiex72 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) With technology becoming such an integral part of the game, I loved the scientific and no bull approach to golf. I think this team has not only played a role in growing this great game but I’d call them a disruptor. I’ve made better choices in equipment, saved money and improved as a result. You can clearly see they’ve had an impact on the industry. Many if not all use the Most Wanted MGS logo next to their equipment in a spot once reserved for the Hot List award. I never look for new equipment without stopping to visit them first.
