Travel restrictions...can’t go to Maine if you’re from Mass. I guess you can tell them you’re from CA, TX or FL and you’re good to go.

Yeah we'll have to see how all that shapes up over the summer.  Maine seems to hate Massachusetts as much as people in this thread hate on Boston Sports.  😏

To be fair, I don’t think it’s so much that people hate Boston Sports ... just the Boston Fans. 😬

2 iron??? Nice, man! Is the 2 iron more of an off the tee club, or is it in play from the course as well? My previous set had a 3 iron ... but the current set drops from the 3W down to the 4 iron, with a big 1.5 to 2 club gap. 

Like you, I simply cannot hit the hybrid consistently. Tried the Taylormade Gapr Mid, has success initially, and then it went to 💩. I haven’t hit a 5W ... it’s just the initial setup seems too small for the club head on such a long shaft, doesn’t suit my eye. 

And is the 2 iron a driving iron like Srixon’ sir a traditional iron? There’s quite a few courses here that have landing spots from the tee just before marshes ... a 2 iron off the tee would be perfect. 

It’s mainly in the bag as a tee club, however I can hit it off the deck when I need to. It’s a Mizuno Fli-Hi, so it is very comparable to the Srixon driving iron. They’re much easier to hit than you’d think. My 2 iron (225) fills the gap between my 3W (240) and 4 iron (210), so if you’re missing that gap it should fit perfectly.

No nothing that’s really surprised me that much. They’re getting a little better as my game takes shape.

I have liked seeing that I wasn’t in denial about the distance I hit my average good drives. Even the overall average isn’t surprising.

I’m excited to get the cobras in hand and see what sort of impact they will have on my game.

Not really, my distances were about spot on, and actually, I’m pretty consistent on the course. It’s just my approach game is consistently bad, and made up for by an extremely hot putter. If the properly fit Cobra irons help my approach game, scratch or + handicaps are in reach.

No, through 13 rounds now I'd say the numbers are pretty fair. My putting has come back down to Earth a bit, driver has improved a bit, but everything else is holding right around where Arccos pegged me after the first few rounds, including overall handicap.

One of the coolest things Arccos has shown me so far is that top-to-bottom my bag is gapped very well for being almost completely DIY and built in my basement over the winter.

Just a little note from my soap box for all of the newer members or casual readers.
Yes it may look like the competitors here get to just have fun and get a free set of clubs but the reality is far from that. Being chosen as an MGS forum tester is the beginning of months of hard work. You have standards you have to reach that have been set by the testers before you, the forum is always looking over you shoulder and asking excellent questions you somehow have to find answers for and the Mods (who are the hardest working of all) are expecting your best at all times. All of this has to be done while balancing home and work as well.
The effort that goes into this forum by dedicated members can be seen in any of the tests. Just look at the Hogan driver test, the reviews in that are so comprehensive that Hogan could be just cutting and pasting for their own advertising. As for the SuperSpeed test, those folks are literally breaking themselves to bring us the most honest appraisal of the product.
All of this is because,  while we love to joke around, we take this place very seriously. Adam, Tony, John Barba etc set this forum up as a place where honesty reigns. The companies that come to us know that they will get hard work and the genuine opinions of the testers. That is why they keep coming back. They and Adam have put their trust in us and we need to repay them with everything we have and more!!
So yes you do get to keep the clubs, bags, shoes, balls etc but they are far from free. They are earned and I for one look on them with pride knowing the effort I put into them.
Now go out there, enjoy the forum and I hope all of you get to earn your clubs etc one day too 


Couldn’t have said it better, Nunfa0. Hats off to all 4 years of fierce competition....

Well nearlllllly 950 posts in so it’s probably about time some photos of actual carbony goodness was shared here. 
A short 20 hours after leaving Cobra in Carlsbad, CA a FedEx truck backed into my driveway with the first of several packages. Today’s box of joy contained my Speedzone Driver, 5-wood, and hybrid. 

so without further delay...

My oh my.
Did we make the right decision with the Sonars?

I think so. They feel really good. Soft and tacky but feel good and firm swinging. I’ll report back Monday after I get a chance to hit some balls.

I meant to ask that.  I got it on my F9 and while it is great when it is set straight...it caused some trouble when I changed the hosel settings.  Interested to see how it plays out for y'all (youse).

Normally I am a logo down kind of guy. But the M5 I have has a MCC on it and the grip and shaft logos are all over the place because of the settings I have it on. Turns out it doesn’t bother me while playing as much as it does aesthetically.

I requested logo down on mine, but I forgot about the alignment with the adapter. Could always black it out with a marker, I suppose!

I got spoiled with the Callaway adapters that move independently of the shaft orientation.

It's about time we get to see some carbony goodness, I know if I've been impatiently waiting y'all must have been going insane. That SpeedZone looks awesome at address and hopefully will serve you well. Plus, you got a Ventus, that's just sweet.

I didn’t have a ton of time but the few dry swings I took of all three felt great. I’ll be sure to bring the camera on Monday or Tuesday when I get to hit a bucket and share some initial thoughts. 
 

the Ventus 8s and Tensei pro white 60TX both feel incredibly smooth. I actually think the 60TX feels better with the TL Speedzone than the 60S feels in my M5.
