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. 8 1 Driver: M5 10.5* (set at 8.5*) Tensei CK Orange 3W: Tour B JGR 15* Recoil 460ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-PW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 AW: S5 52* SW: Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: Zipcore Black Satin 58* Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: Tour B Stand Bag Ball: Z-Star Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Tester Starting Driver Speed on PRGR Monitor: 102 mph Final Driver Speed (end of Level 2): 120 mph Link to post Share on other sites

knightsofnii 981 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 @Gman24 I believe it's a full customized set, not just standard length.
