Popular Post revkev Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 I'm glad I'm late into this game as I may have posted something I would not have been proud of. I'm going to speak for myself here and let it be. I did not come to MGS to be a tester. I had no idea that forum members might be selected to test things when I came. In fact I don't think that they were at that time, unless they were handpicked by what would now be termed HQ's. I came because I had some questions about equipment (particularly the golf ball, spin and it's impact on driver dispersion). I stayed because I got answers primarily from knowledgeable forum members but also from Tony who around on the forums a lot and Matt Sateranus. Testing, as we know it, started a year or so after the time that I arrived. Some testers were selected by mods directly but slowly but surely all testers came to be selected via applications. That made sense to me. Like the rest of us I've noticed the "shortage" of tests from OEMs including the Cobra Connect. That last one doesn't surprise me, it had its run but I'm not sure that there's the bang for the buck for Cobra any more at this point. As for the other OEMs it's their stuff, they can choose whom they want to do their testing for them and when. Likewise we are HQs stepchild or baby if you will, they may do with their platform as they please. I visit the forums because I have friends, both virtual and real here. There are often interesting discussions taking place that I like to be a part of and I do learn about equipment even if we aren't formally testing it - consider the Stack system threads. As for our mods they do a great job. They can only work with what they have to work with. When I have a significant complaint I go to them on a PM and they've always been open and honest with me. So thanks to all of them for their hard work and advocacy. Thanks to all of my fellow forum members as well - even when we disagree on a matter you make this place a fun place to come, blow off steam and talk about golf. tommc23, GrumpyGolf, Tom the Golf Nut and 23 others 15 11 Quote Driver: Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 R flex - 44.25 Fairways: Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta CB red 65 R flex Hybrid: Ping G410 26 degree Alta CB Red 70 R flex Irons: Ping G430 7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex Wedges: Ping 195 S54, E58 Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5” Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball.

Alos most notabily the Distinquished Gentelman Thread. I'm not going to link it, if people want bad enough to see it, they know how to search Ah yes, I remember it well. For obvious reasons I refrained from posting on it but I knew it was there and loved some of the comments. MGS has always been a fun place. We had one contest right after I joined that was called the Tour Staff Contest. The premise was that the winner and 2nd place people got clubs from the MGS favorites - woods from TMag, Adams hybrid, Mizuno Irons, SCOR wedges, Bettinardi putter, Bridgestone balls, Tru linkswear shoes and outfit - first place got more of the above, 2nd less but I can tell you that my haul for finishing 2nd was a full bag of all the above and included a wood fitting at the TPC Sawgrass and a Mizuno fitting at a local fitter - the winner got a Bettinardi putter fitting in Chicago. You had to write a paragraph of 50 words or less about how MGS sucked and then get people to vote for it on facebook - to vote they needed to like MGS. The contest lasted well over a month. I can still tell you where I was when Tony called me to tell me that I had nailed the second spot. I still have the SCOR wedges and one of them makes its way into my bag occasionally. The wood fitting was spectacular - TPC performance center, Sawgrass - VJ was hitting shots just down the range from me while I was being fit.

Popular Post hartrick11 Posted June 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2022 I came here when I was just starting to learn about the idea of not simply buying used clubs on ebay without fitting or even verifying any specs; while it was too late for a mulligan on my Ping iE1s that were 3 degrees too upright, half an inch too short and ~5 points light on the swing weight scale despite being billed as standard length and lie , I learned so much on here that has only deepened my golf addiction over the years. Posters here are nice, helpful, and generous with their time which is truly an outlier when it comes to online forums. I will still be a regular lurker and sometime poster in the forum regardless of testing opportunities in the future. That said, it is completely baffling to see HQ focus only on sponsors after bashing other websites for doing the same thing. That hypocrisy combined with what seems like an antagonistic attitude towards "big OEM" and click-bait social media has been a major turn off for me, and as a result I do not visit the HQ website anymore, unfollowed MGS on all social platforms, and absent the ability to direct future donations to the forum only, will no longer be making an annual donation to MGS. While I think it is extremely cool to see emerging brands like Sub70 and others find their groove with the help of forums like MGS, and the stated goal of helping golfers make objectively better purchasing decisions given ability & budget is very admirable, the fact is that most golfers are still more interested in what the big OEMs come out with that they see on TV every week; it only takes a cursory look through historical tests to see that the big OEM tests that happen right around a product's release drive engagement that is exponentially higher and stickier than gadgets or single club tests from DTC/emerging brands. The big one that came up when I was still pretty new here was the Ping i210/i500 test and I came back to that thread every day for months to see what members (from official testers, inquisitive would-be buyers, and knowledgeable regulars) were saying about those new and exciting product lines; it is probably the single thread that contributed the most to my golf equipment education over the years and I can honestly say that I would not have engaged with the forum nearly as much since then if it had never come about. I'm glad to hear that the mods are pushing HQ on this front and really appreciate all that you all do on a daily basis; I can only hope that continued feedback eventually moves the needle.

I'm not going to link it, if people want bad enough to see it, they know how to search ROTFLMAO---- The Distinguished Gentlemans Thread MGS Hall Of Fame--- Newbies well worth the time to look up and read. When I first came on here in reality I was just learning how to work a computer social media wise. I could run like truck diagnostic programs etc. One thing I liked on here was the fact there were good folks I could talk golf with. In the area I live in a lot of people play golf but know nothing about the game. In the days past folks used to hang around the game room before or after the round enjoy a beverage and talk golf and other things. Now days no one around here does that. Another thing about MGS was in the beginning I was the only one here that played vintage equipment and the good folks here put up with me. That last leads up to the last paragraph. I never put in for a lot of tests because a lot of the new stuff does not appeal to me. I would rather another member test and use the equipment than me test and not maybe be objective. Now when I test I do go all out. I did do the Renegar wedge test because I am a wedge Ho and love to experiment with wedges of all brands and eras. I worked with Rob on that one because I had to do some mods for me to hit including weighting up and some lie adjustments. But I did do detailed notes on what and why I did what I did. I did wring them out to the max and today a friend of mine is still playing them because I gave them to him The Precision Pro I put in for that because my ancient Bushnell was dying and frankly a heavy bulky PITA to use. I still use the Precision Pro to this day still dependable and has never given me any trouble and it holds its own still with anything. I do not need the slope thing because with my uncanny math and trig skills I can figure out slope pretty well The Motocaddy for myself I have a mixed bag on. I had applied to test it and everyone at the time knew my physical status. Motocaddy and the Staff here thought an outside the box test for me to rehab was a good idea. I am grateful for that. It did get me out on the range and walking some plus I could take my creature comforts with me to the range. I did put it through the ringer some and had a lot of fun with it and yes even managed to turn it over one time. But I still felt the test was incomplete without some actual course time. I could manage about 3 holes and that was it. I tried a vintage Hickory event with it on a Par 3 course and I had permission to use it because of my status. LOL it drew some attention kinda a mix with the modern cart bag they gave us with some genuine 75 to 100 year old Hickory clubs in it. I gave out after 9 holes. Not the Motocaddy but me. Yes it helped my back rehab but we did not know at the time my right knee was giving out. I talked to Rob on this and turned it over to Tom The Golf Nut to finish the test. Now with all of that being said I still read and absorb the information on new stuff because my mind works like that always open and absorbing fresh information.

The Motocaddy testing continues. My concern was the Motocaddy would not do well on the hills on my course. That concern has been put to rest. My next concern is that I make it up the hills. First round I made it 7 holes. But it was 94 degrees. The second round scheduled it rained. Then I was traveling for work a bit. This coming weekend should be a good test. I have 4 days off. Johnny is charged and ready. The belt clip is fixed and I'm ready. I've been hitting up the elliptical to build up stamina. Now back on topic. This forum has been great for me. It was never about the testing but more the camaraderie and the interest we all have in common which is golf. It doesn’t matter if you use current equipment or vintage equipment like Stu. The game is the same. Testing is a bonus and should be treated as such. Be grateful for any opportunity that pops up, but don't always expect there to be one. This site had guided me in several purchases. If it wasn't for the honest and detailed reviews by both MGS and Forum testers I would still be buying off the rack stuff that was not right for me. Just because I did not know better. OEM's have a long list of people wanting to test and write reviews on equipment. You basically have to get a request in early and get on a waiting list. Then they only have a certain budget or allotment of equipment to give out. Then they look at exposure. Where will they get most readers. Who is taking their advertisement money and reviewing. Guess who gets priority! It is whatit is. It's business.

BIG STU Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 8 hours ago, Tom the Golf Nut said: The Motocaddy testing continues. My concern was the Motocaddy would not do well on the hills on my course. That concern has been put to rest. My next concern is that I make it up the hills. First round I made it 7 holes. But it was 94 degrees. The second round scheduled it rained. Then I was traveling for work a bit. This coming weekend should be a good test. I have 4 days off. Johnny is charged and ready. The belt clip is fixed and I'm ready. I've been hitting up the elliptical to build up stamina. Now back on topic. This forum has been great for me. It was never about the testing but more the camaraderie and the interest we all have in common which is golf. It doesn’t matter if you use current equipment or vintage equipment like Stu. The game is the same. Testing is a bonus and should be treated as such. Be grateful for any opportunity that pops up, but don't always expect there to be one. This site had guided me in several purchases. If it wasn't for the honest and detailed reviews by both MGS and Forum testers I would still be buying off the rack stuff that was not right for me. Just because I did not know better. OEM's have a long list of people wanting to test and write reviews on equipment. You basically have to get a request in early and get on a waiting list. Then they only have a certain budget or allotment of equipment to give out. Then they look at exposure. Where will they get most readers. Who is taking their advertisement money and reviewing. Guess who gets priority! It is whatit is. It's business. So you named it "Johnny" Like it as in "Heeere Comes Johnny" I always called it R2 D2 From what I observed the test on the Sub 70 irons worked well for you because you hit them well and they are good looking irons. I will admit if I changed my ways those would be among the ones I would consider. Your research on the driver seems to pay off for you too. That thing is a cannon in your hands. I can remember a few years back I was selected to help write the testing templates. We split up into teams and I worked with Golf Spy Shawn and the whole process was fun. There were a lot of good ideas submitted and I learned a lot.

Hopefully the missed opportunity is seen and changes are made to next season or the later half of this season. For me all I can really say is I'm sorry... What's really crazy is all the work folks like yourself have been doing to keep the forum running well and improve the look and feel. I'm not going to tip toe around what's undoubtedly on everyone's mind here... testing opportunities are HUGE to the forums long term, top shelf position amongst golf forums. Sure, there will be a core group who will continue to exchange across the numerous subjects, but it's the product testing and, even more important, the unbiased, data-centric, forum member reviews that make it unique. The MGS Hit Squad/Most Wanted tests are great but, for me personally, I find the reviews by folks I know (some personally) much more relevant and meaningful. I just met and played with one of the last CCC participants and got to see his set in action. Also in the field was a D7 iron set tester who is still sniping pins with them. And finally, also met and played with one of the current Edel Wedge set testers -- even got to hit one! The Cobra Challenges have been really cool and generate a ton of interest. I had half expected Adam et.al. to find a way to get the likes of PING, TM, Callaway, etc. to offer a similar testing opportunity and have OEM H2H contests... hey, a guy can dream right? Here's the deal. MGS has transformed my golf game. In the almost 6 years I've been a member, I've been fortunate to test the G410P driver, the Titleist "align" balls, the Maxfli Tour balls, and most recently the Evnroll ER5v putter. The driver, the putter, and the Maxfli Tours are still in the bag. As a direct result of reading various forum tests and dialogue on the various sub-forums, I had my first LM fitting - moving me into 30+ year newer technology irons. As a result of input from several spy's (they know who they are), concerning my chronic ailing left elbow and shoulder, I had a second fitting to find composite iron shafts... this change has quite literally allowed me to keep playing... pretty well, quite often, and pain free! Probably not likely, but I hope one or more of the HQ staff read this thread and this post. I watched Adam's "who am I and what is the vision/purpose of MGS" video. It connected with me. Things change, they always do. It's hard to say what the future of the forum is... but my hope is that it dosen't remove a key ingredient to what has been a winning recipe.

Peaksy68 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 @GolfSpy_APH , are there any further updates now that we're 2/3 the way through Q3? Hopefully some more club tests. Accessory reviews are all well and good, but realistically, they aren't what bring people here, either to read or to take part in. Counting the L.A.B. putters as one test, only having 3 club tests in 8 months is so disappointing. It's even more disappointing when the there is at least one outstanding review to be posted, I can understand OEMs being hesitant to provide equipment for testing when not all reviews are posted in a timely manner.

There is no further update as to what may or may not be on the horizon for testing. This is somewhat of a reset year as there were many people that just came here for free stuff much like a instagram contest. The MGS forum we don't want to be know just for testing and what a lot consider giveaways or contests, especially with the community we have here. We have optimism that next year/off season we will continue to see some more testing opportunities, however the focus of this community shouldn't revolve around those tests and be more about the community and discussion itself with testing being perk. Personally I don't see us getting back to the 30 per season range, however I do hope to see an increase over the next few years. This could take some time though. The other hiccup with this is release cycles and a lot of clubs are somewhat old news, so there is the potential with some new releases we could see some of those pop up. As for missing reviews we have had several extenuating circumstances with health, shipping delays and so on that have interrupted the completion of a few. Some care a lot about the reviews and some care more about the general exposure on instagram and the sm impressions which in todays day and age have become very valuable. It is a bit of a mix bag there, but we have been given word that a schedule is being worked on and completed for next season. I know the downshift in testing has been disappointing and a shock to the system with how things had previously been. However I do hope that members don't come here just for the testing. We have such an amazing community here and there is so much knowledge, information and other product reviews to read and discuss that a bump year in testing can be just that. There is still the potential for several off season tests on training aids and that sort of thing as well. We also have some exciting forum experiences for next season in the works which should be just stellar! I also want to say I understand that testing traditionally is what drives a lot of people to the forum, but that just means we need to find other ways of getting people to the forum and to stay of the forum. So many of the testing sign ups were just that. Come for testing and leave till the next one comes around. The final thing I'll add is our focus (mods) right now are as follows - hiring new mod (to be announced Thursday), reogranize and make the forum simpler to navigate and as mods create valuable content for discussion. In the offseason we will look to tackle the testing platform on the forum and decide on its future. By that point in time we should be close to having the new testing schedule and can look forward to the upcoming season. Hope that helps a little even if it isn't the exact answer many would want, but at the moment it is all the information I have. ejgaudette, Hobert, TR1PTIK and 19 others 16 6 Quote as of Oct 5, 2024 (Past WITB) Driver: GT2 with Graphite Design AD CQ - check out the Driver Shootout!

Perhaps a strongly worded communication with HQ would be in order, the way they promote testing opportunities on Social Media is extremely misleading, and make it sound like a giveaway. It's hard to blame people for just showing up to apply when they have been encouraged to do so by SM promotions from MGS I would imagine that the vast majority of readers, and probably active members came to the forum looking for reviews. Further reduction in reviews will almost certainly result in a reduction in readers, and by extension members. I can't see any other way to grow active participation in the forum without a vibrant review/testing section. The interaction during reviews was a large component of encouraging community. Reviews being front and centre made this possible and encouraged it. The current review area does little to encourage this. Hopefully this unfortunate change can be remedied. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be as a Mod team dealing with the ongoing issues caused mostly by the structural changes, but also by what appears to be an attitude change from MGS HQ.

I want to be very clear about something - for a lot of us it's NOT ABOUT GETTING FREE STUFF. It's about reading honest feedback from average golfers that look like us. We're here because we want feedback and input on equipment from golfers who's games match ours, not a single digit cap that reviews SGI clubs all day long on YouTube. HQ seems to have forgotten that aspect of testing and reviews. Maybe, as another poster mentioned, it's viewed as giveaways because that's how HQ constantly promotes them with their inane social media posts. bens197, GolfSpy_SHARK, GolfSpy_APH and 13 others 13 3 Quote In my Big Max hybrid bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Halo XL 5i-DW CBX 54* & 58* ER5 Tour S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
