Have any of you guys heard of this before? Certainly possible I'm just late to the show. I found this article and the website over on Golf WRX.

What do you think?

I also just heard of this. One of my good golf buddies just signed up for it. I'll chime in with his experience soon. He just signed up and got an M6 delivered for his first one.

I'm not too sure on the details though. My buddy said you can cancel at any time. Rough idea is you pay a $30 per month subscription and you pick a new driver every three months. How does shaft selection work? What if you immediately dont like your choice for that three month period?

Personally I would think its not for everyone. I've found a driver and shaft combo that I'm really happy with so this would be useless to me. What happens when you finally get comfortable with a driver and then have to send it back? For $360 a year, you'd be lucky to test two through the playing season in Michigan. Maybe it would be good for on course testing for someone looking to take their time testing and then commit when ghe next model year comes out at reduced pricing.

For me, this would be just another monthly fee that I really would prefer not to have. Throw down the money if your want a new driver and be done...but that's me.

Interesting....Not sure I would do it though.  There's already a ton of demo days from the different manufacturers around me so I don't see where the value would be for my area.  Maybe golfers where there are areas that have less retail presence and  less demo day availability?

The idea is quite interesting. However if you are someone that plays the same driver for more than two years this really isn't for you. I would think this is geared towards the tinkerers and gearheads.

I pulled the trigger on a Ping 410 LST. Seems legit, you can return, exchange or cancel in 90 days. If you end up liking the driver and don't want to change you can buy the driver out which they include the money you paid for retail price. Basically buying over time interest free money.

My buddy did this and absolutely hated it. He felt he just wasted money. I suggested he get fitted and order one because most companies and websites offer either a 30 day or 60 playability guarantee. He went got fitted at a PGA Superstore in FL since they do free fittings, ordered his new M5 directly from Taylormade got their 15% veterans discount and was done and couldn't be happier. This was all after spending about $120 on this website. 

Personally I think the website is there to make money off people who don't know what they want or need, when all they need to do is spend an hour or two with a fitter typically for free if you order from them, and be done with a 30-60 day playability guarantee.
