Popular Post Tarheelvolvo Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 All, I wanted to comment here to shed some light on the current situation and how we are handling things moving forward based on current direction. As @GolfSpy_APH has mentioned, we are all volunteers helping out to manage and improve the site, along with keeping our boards clear of nonsense. So based on our role we all, myself included, have limited influence in some spaces. We have voiced our ideas and concerns for any number of actions that HQ has made - sometimes they listen to us, and other times they do not, which is expected in any relationship of this nature. So, with testing, I am keenly aware that you are all intelligent people and have clearly noticed the lack of some testing opportunities, particularly with some of the "major" OEM's. In years past, the forum was left to handle testing on their own with our amazing @Golfspy_CG2 managing a lot of that process and crushed it yearly! However, HQ made the decision in late 2021 to incorporate forum testing and OEM communications into their duties with HQ staffers. Effectively, the process of securing tests and communicating with OEM's was taken out of our hands and the HQ Staff is working hard to secure new and more tests for all the forum membership. We have some other ideas in the works to continue bringing you guys great gear, so FEAR NOT, we will (hopefully) have more opportunities for all members to try out some cool new gear...and maybe write a review about it with our new Member Reviews platform that is currently in Beta (send me a note if you want to join the Beta Testers group!). Feel free to send any followup questions, just note that I will not go into details around the HQ decision at this point. tommc23, tony@CIC, ejgaudette and 8 others 10 1 Quote In my Hoofer: G410 LST 10.5* - Kai'Li White 60 X-flex VRS Covert 3W 15* - Kuro Kage 65 S-flex T200 4-GW, DG X100 Tour Issue - Tester Glide 2.0 Stealth 54.12 SS & 58.10 SS Zing 2 LW - 60* Anser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post russtopherb Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks for the update @GolfSpy_THV. I personally find it somewhat interesting that HQ, which has minimal involvement with the forum on a day to day basis from what I've observed over the years, decided to take over arranging testing opportunities for forum members. Those testing opportunities are always the highest trafficked threads due to engagement, excitement, and social sharing. Just even more proof about how @Golfspy_CG2crushed it with his forum duties over the years.

And he continues to crush it with these major contest pools too! It's as frustrating for the mod team as it is for the members here to not have awesome test opportunities every week of the year. We know that this is the best spot to read as unbiased reviews from real golfers as you can get. We don't want to loose sight of that, or the many other great aspects of this community, even if the official testing opportunities are not as frequent this year as in years past. I'd like to encourage anyone who bought something new in the last year or so to join up with the Beta testers group to get a inside look at some updates and opportunity to share within our upcoming member review platform!

funkyjudge Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) After reading through all of the posts in this thread, I would like to make a few comments on OEM product availability (be it for testing opportunities or otherwise): I am a representative (Dealer, Fitter, etc.) for a handful of golf equipment OEMs, from Fujikura Composites and Mitsubishi Chemical, plus several others on the component side of things, to Tour Edge Golf on the equipment side. With each of the companies that I work with, supply chain issues have caused numerous delays in getting required equipment into my, and my customers’, hands. I have waited as long as six-seven months to receive the more popular Fujikura shaft models (can you say “Ventus” and/or “Ventus TR”?) and five months to get certain 2022 Tour Edge Exotics club models for both my inventory and for customer orders. This has cost me some business for sure, and I am still waiting for select individual clubs to complete one Exotics club order from a good repeat customer, and very loyal Tour Edge Exotics player. Admittedly, this has not been a five month wait, but before I could even offer certain 2022 Exotics models, I was told in the first couple of months of this year not to even offer certain of their 722 Series clubs until early/mid/late May. In some (a few) cases, it has been a shortage of clubheads, in many others it has been the inability to deliver the clubs with specific shaft options or upgrades. This whole supply chain fiasco has delayed new product introductions for more than a few of my OEM accounts, and there are certain shaft options that I am unable to offer (or that I am unable to fill at present). Just thought that I would offer the perspective of a guy who is a “small fish” in the vast ocean of OEM golf club and golf shaft providers …. and don’t even get me started on the subject of golf grip availability!

Judge. I order probably $90,000 to $100,00 in equipment a year for our pro shop. I realize that’s a small amount. But it keeps me in touch weekly with every OEM.

HQ of ANY company can’t put their noses into marketing and sales if they’ve never had any relationship there before. HQ made a choice this year and it isn’t better. Hopefully they begin to listen, remove themselves, and allow the mods to do what they’ve always done so well. We can’t be looking at any of the Covid years as a time to determine when to put the nose in, and they should know that. There have to be other things at play here. It’s obvious.

And now we are seeing those companies be prioritized for forum testing. Money talks. Oh well. Sad to see the forum testing succumb to this. I wanted to address the "never get picked again" for one I don't really like that it is said. HQ doesn't decide who the testers are. We do as mods. At least it my eyes it is a bit off hand and doesn't give us enough credit to keep memberships honest feelings apart from the test selection process. I put a lot of hours into selecting testers and try to find a balance between new and older members. That being said something that is likely to change a bit is if you are a tester and have tested 5 straight seasons it is a good chance that this year won't be the year. We have such an influx of new members and new members who are contributing we need to give them a chance at testing and show what they can do. This isn't to say anyone who has tested 5 + times this year won't be selected, however we are making an effort to get more new testers involved. Add on top of this limited testing as well it makes getting newer members involved even harder. Again as we have been told we are to expect 20 tests this season. WIth 6 announced already that leaves us with plenty more to come. Although I have no insight as to what will come items I would expect (as they are site sponsors to my knowledge still) - Arccos - Puttout - Birdie Ball - Evnroll - Fujikura - Rapsodo - Honma - Precision Pro - Tommy Armour/Maxfli - Motocaddy Hopefully we see a few others like Ping come on. I am also hopeful that we could see the new Edel Irons come to testing, maybe the Sub70 659 series of irons and potentially other clubs. This was something we requested that we saw more club reviews and for a few less kit/golf balls. Whether this happens or not I don't know. The final note is if you have concers or questions that you may not feel should be posted on the threads, send me or one of the mods a PM. We are part of this community and want to help it grow. Maybe you have an idea that can help us or suggestion as how we can help improve the forum.

In the meantime you go into a golf store and there are racks upon racks of the last greatest golf club to ever come down the road. Just a little bit of an exaggeration. They all have release cycles that are either in the fall or spring. The dates from each company will vary. The brands on two year cycles release different parts of the bag each year ie titleist will be woods and hybrids this year and irons next year. tony@CIC and GrumpyGolf 2 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now we are seeing those companies be prioritized for forum testing. Money talks. Oh well. Sad to see the forum testing succumb to this. Really? Damn, I hope they are taking advertising monies from PXG, cause I really wanna test the new 0311 Gen 5 irons. tony@CIC, MGoBlue100, PMookie and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GolfSpy AFG Posted June 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 I gotta say, kind of hoping those new Edel irons do become a test, and that I’m settled in and can participate.
