What's in the bag threads are usually pretty popular, if you post pictures. We like the pictures of shiny objects. Also, posting in the How'd You Play thread people will give likes. palvord, tony@CIC, GolfSpy_SHARK and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment

Write with some detail, use more than the minimum number of words required, engage in some back and forth, and let your personality show. In a way, this is like playing golf. You can't hit individual shots while thinking about shooting 78. You just have to hit each shot, and count 'em up at the end.

Join in the discussion. People need to get to know you; same as in meeting people face-to-face, but we have to do it with just words, not actions. I know it's a little intimidating at first; I was the same when I started. As others have said, get involved and tell us about yourself and your game. That's best said in the topics mentioned above. Pictures are always popular, and help show that you have the skills and dedication to provide a quality review. I will say that if the only reason you are posting is to get likes so you can enter testing opportunities, and once you become a member you quit posting except for those testing opportunities, your chances to test go down. Staying involved in the community is certainly a factor in testing selection. tony@CIC, DaveP043, cnosil and 2 others 5 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment

Kanoito Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Be yourself and don't try too hard. Let it come naturally! You'll see some WITB posts just for the sake of it, no photos, no specs, etc. Nobody wants to see those. Or questions that have been asked 20 times... instead of creating a new post, go to the thread and chime in. It'll be more helpful for all readers to have all the info in one place. Believe it or not, even behind a keyboard and monitor, you can actually tell when people are genuinely interested or just doing it for the post count. Also, don't be the guy that created 10 threads and 200 posts in 1 week and hasn't been online in 2 months. Other than that, welcome to the forum and enjoy! tony@CIC, GolfSpy_BNG, sirchunksalot and 3 others 6 Quote SpeedZone 9* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 60 S X2 Hot 3 Deep 14.5* w/ Aldila Tour Green 75 S JetSpeed 5W 19* w/ Matrix Velox T 69 S OR Super LS 3H 19* w/ Kuro Kage Black 80 S JPX919 Forged 4-PW w/ Modus3 105 S Vokey SM7 50/08F, 54/14F & 58/08M w/ Modus3 115 Wedge ER1 34" w/ SuperStroke Fatso 2.0 Pro / H2NO Lite Cart Bag / 3.0 / NX7 Pro LRF My reviews: MLA Putter // Titleist SM7 // PING i500 // PuttOUT Link to comment

GolfSpy AFG Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 In my experience (which is limited compared to some but no longer a newbie) likes come from meaningful contributions rather than fly-by-night "I agree..." comments that don't add value to the conversation.
