My mind is blown that there's only 117 responses to this thread, so maybe 90 applicants so far?  

By my count, there are currently ~6-8 active tests right now (about 30-50 regular posters?). I don't recall other years having such busy early seasons, especially with the lockdowns likely delaying the start of some. Combine that with the recruit status thing and they've eliminated a lot of the non-posters coming in and only posting in test application threads. I'd be all over applying if I wasn't already doing the SuperSpeed test.

I said the exact same thing in my head when i read the post.  I'm doing the math at my odds and can't believe the potential.  

We're all normally used to 1200 - 1600 responses on these tests.  I can't believe how much the recruit aspect is 'thinning the herd".  I hope it helps more folks stick around and add more insight/discussion.

@juspoole hopefully their ability to weed this out enables them to have less stress when selecting people.  I'm just fortunate to have ever been selected for anything at all.

Wait there's a free bag too, did I like miss that cause I was so pumped about the full set.....

Who doesn't want a full bag of Cobras plus the bag?  ?!?!
 
Side note, my wife wants new irons,  I'm going to have her try some Speedzones, and if possible, the F-Max Ultralights or whatever the new ones are called.

@Zen Snake I believe some of the past competitors chose one-lengths.  No?

I jumped on here probably 18 months ago, and felt like it was just a thread to apply for contests not really a golfer's haven. Joined in April this year as I'm extremely bored during coronavirus and have loved the content. It's now a part of my morning routine: Coffee, Check Email, Read WSJ, Check MGS Forum for any new threads, start work.

I think we've had one each of the last two years. For sure last year.

Fun fact, this change has actually made our short lists longer because we've got more people getting involved than before. I wouldn't read too much into the raw application numbers.

LOL,  I can't in good conscience as I just got new clubs and typically prefer 1" longer.  I wouldn't want to take an opportunity from someone who could really benefit.  I will keep my eyes peeled for other review opportunities. 

[knightsofnii 980]

@Gman24  I believe it's a full customized set, not just standard length.   But, I hear you on the new clubs, I've gotten into a nice groove with what I have now. 

But, shiny, new, or, matte black, new, radical, and the bags are sick too  

Plus doing reviews is just plain awesome.

[Zen Snake 451]

I'll need to go back and look at the reviews on that. Thanks.

Great point -  didn't even think about that.  Best of luck.

Totally agree.  I was lucky enough to be selected last year for the stroke lab putter and wanted to give as much insight and help that I could during the test.  Such a cool opportunity that MGS allows us.
