LinksgolfFever Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 THANKS to MGS and Zebra for this opportunity, unlike @aguybadatgolf I am definitely old enough to remember the originals and the original was my go to putter when the bullseye went on time out. This is also my first time testing and I am very EXCITED to get this out on the course... The plan is to get 3-5 rounds in per week and add a couple of practice sessions. I am excited to test this on several of the courses near by...Maybe have to take a weekend trip to get some rounds in out of town . Good luck to the rest of our testing group @tony@CIC, @cciciora13 and @aguybadatgolf. I look forward to comparing notes and reading your reviews.

GolfSpy TCB Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 On 6/13/2023 at 5:32 AM, LinksgolfFever said: Welcome to my Official MGS review First and foremost, many thanks to ZEBRA and to MGS for allowing me to participate in this. I am looking forward to all of the golf I am going to have to play in order to make this a great review. About Me: I am from Santa Cruz, CA and my family has been here since 1910. I grew up playing everything but golf, I never saw the allure of golf. After high school I enlisted in the Army and that was my plan. After a traumatic knee injury cut my service time, I returned to Santa Cruz and was looking for my next life story to write. A couple of weeks later my Grandfather was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and was not expected to make it 6 months. He asked me to go out and play golf with him, my dad and uncles. Of course I said yes, but wasn’t expecting to enjoy the golf just my time with him… Totally not the case. I WAS HOOKED! I got a job a local course in the cart shed and started playing as much as I could. Two years later ,I was playing on the golf team at college. Playing competitively for the next few years. Then it was time to get a real job, got married and life happened, not very much time for golf. Fast forward to 2015 and while on vacation in Maui, my love for golf was rekindled. More life changes and my wife Anna and I met. We have two boys at home with us and for the next 2 months they are the same age. (9 months difference between them). Anna and I got married last year and for our honeymoon we went to Ireland and Scotland. She is totally supportive of my golf, so much so that when I broached the idea of taking my clubs on our honeymoon she didn’t even pause when she said “you should absolutely do that.” While in Scotland we stayed at Carnoustie and I played three rounds there. She came out and walked with me and kept remarking how beautiful it was and even recognized some of the course from seeing the Open championship. Aside from an awesome partner and an amazing honeymoon, the highlight of the golf at least was holing out from 125 yards on the 5th for birdie. I gamed an original Zebra in my early golfing days and am very interested to see how this new putter stacks up. Testing Plans: While all of the MOI, lateral spin, top spin, º of impact, etc. are interesting to me my golf is more about sensory perceptions. I want to know how the putter sounds, how it feels, how it looks, what kind of confidence it inspires or doesn’t? I have a few rounds of golf to play each week, along with a few practice sessions that will both provide the most feedback. I will also be doing some comparatives with the 3 other putters I currently have/use. Basic testing will be putts from 6’, 12’, 18’ and 24’. My plan is to continue with these tests weekly and have an aggregate data set at the completion of the review. I will be testing each of the four putters from these lengths from 4 sides of the cup: uphill putting, downhill putting, left/right sidehill putting and right/left sidehill putting. Questions answered by the completion of this review: 1. Look of the putter and head cover are they aesthetically pleasing? 2. Feel of the putter. How does the feel differ between center/off center hits? a. How reactive is the feedback in the putter, will I feel the center/off center hits? 3. How does the putter sound? Does it differ between contact types? 4. Overall scores for putting ranges 6’-24 feet. 5. How Confident am I at judging distance with the putter, compared to my current putter(s)? Thank you and I hope you enjoy my review. Please let me know if you have any questions. The Zebra has landed..... Once I got my tracking number thanks @GolfSpy TCB I was anxiously checking FedEx for shipment updates...and to my surprise the package was early!!! Box arrived in perfect condition subtle Zebra on the outside. Packaged very nicely and a card from Zebra. Arrived in perfect condition!!! Clean and safe packaging Good marketing, and nice touch face balanced... Nice set up Attention to detail Good looking headcover Now for the competition.... I will be comparing this against my current gamer (Scotty Cameron Circa '62 No.3-plumbers neck) and the my other two putters currently on timeout (Scotty Cameron Circa '62 No.2-straight hosel, and PXG Blackjack-double bend face balanced). Left to Right PXG, Cameron No. 2, Cameron No. 3 and the Zebra AIT1. Just in case an emergency golf situation happens this is what my trunk always looks like. Its a Subaru WRX/Golfmobile....My clubs, my boys clubs, 3 pairs of shoes (you never know), launch monitor, extra balls, tees, towels, etc.... MGS virtual tour bag tag(thanks again @GolfSpy TCB )and my bag tag from Carnoustie ... First Impressions: Putter arrived early big plus, clear markings, subtle design notes. I like the attention to detail paid on the putter and head cover. The Head is probably twice the size of the original (from memory at least) I am trying to get my hands on one to have a side by side photo shoot. The weight feels good with the stock 15g weights, I would be curious to test this with the heavier 20g weights if they become available soon. Gripped up with a Zebra branded Winn pistol grip. Standing over the putter for the first time, I like the look but I feel like in my normal/regular putting position the face sits a couple of degrees open. Overall great first impression, next stop rolling a few practice balls. I will be doing a "get to know Zebra" at my home course to get a feel for the AIT1. The testing equipment Rolling a few putts to get a feel for the AIT1 IMG_1761.MOV 110.1 MB · 2 downloads Based on your video.... THAT PUTTER IS MONEY $$$$ Great intro and unboxing. So Impressed with Zebra and the quick delivery... Just sent in the addresses a few days ago, and you are already rolling in putts. NICE!!!

aguybadatgolf Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Unboxing and First Thoughts I received the putter this past Friday (6/16) just as I was leaving to go get married. Things are finally slowing down and I wanted to share my photos from the unboxing. Simple box very similar to the packaging I have received other clubs in. There was some shredded paper and cardboard to help keep it safe and it arrived in perfect condition. No complaints here. The headcover immediately caught my attention. It is high quality with a eye catching design that is not overly flashy. The matte black finish looks great with the silver, white, and gray accents. I love the alignment lines and Zebra stripes on the removable weights, it's a nice touch. The Winn midsize pistol grip has the Zebra logo along with the brands name. Keeping with the same color scheme it is black, white, and silver. I will note that I have larger hands and generally play with oversized grips. It is a little smaller than am used to or like to play but it has a nice soft and tacky feel that is similar to the Odyssey Jumbo grip I have on my current, soon to be ex, gamer. I am curious to see how it works for me on the course. Overall I am very impressed by the appearance. I have rolled a few putts on my indoor practice green and have only positives to say but I will wait to get into the details until I have had more time with it. I am playing a round with my wife tomorrow and will provide an update with my first experience on course. sirchunksalot, GolfSpy SAM, BKervin and 1 other 4 Quote Tester Opportunities 2024 Ping S159 Wedges 2023 Zebra AIT3 Putter The Bag Driver - Paradym Ai Smoke MAX Driver with Project X Denali - 6.5 3W - Paradym 15° with Kai'li™ White - X 3H - Gen5 0311 19° with Ventus Blue Velocore - X Driving Iron - 699 Pro 20° with UST PROFORCE V2 Hybrid White/Yellow - X Irons - 6-PW 699 Pro in black with Dynamic Gold X100 Wedges - S159 50, 54, 58 Dynamic Gold X100 (TESTER) Putter - KING 3D Printed Agera Armlock Putter , Zebra AIT 3 (On time out) Ball - Z-Star XV or Pro Plus Tester for 2024 Ping S159 Wedges 2023 Zebra AIT3 Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguybadatgolf Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) First Round Impressions I’ll keep this update brief as I will get into the details in my full review. I played my first 18 with the AIT3 on Monday. It was at Evergreen, a local municipal course just up into the mountains so there is quite a bit of elevation change throughout the course making for plenty of blind shots and tricky greens. Admittedly I have not tracked my putting in previous rounds at this course and my short game was particularly on point so I only had a handful of very long putts. So take the graphic below with a grain of salt. I’m not sure why 18 birdies is missing a round I tracked on 6/10 where I averaged 2.2 putts. In my last 2 rounds with my Taylormade Ardmore 3 I average 2.25 putts. In my very first round with the the Zebra AIT3 I averaged 1.7 putts. This is a major difference but also a very small sample size on a day I only had 3 putts from more than 35 feet, which is not normal for me. I did also get a chip-in from 8 feet off the green so I had one hole with 0 putts. As I play more rounds I expect the number to creep up but am curious to see how it plays out. So far I’m loving the feel of the putter and it really inspires a lot of confidence. This is subjective at this point but my speed control and ability to hit my line seemed to be really good with this putter. I have a couple of small gripes that don’t seem to affect my performance but more on that in my full review.

Things are finally slowing down and I wanted to share my photos from the unboxing. Simple box very similar to the packaging I have received other clubs in. There was some shredded paper and cardboard to help keep it safe and it arrived in perfect condition. No complaints here. The headcover immediately caught my attention. It is high quality with a eye catching design that is not overly flashy. The matte black finish looks great with the silver, white, and gray accents. I love the alignment lines and Zebra stripes on the removable weights, it's a nice touch. The Winn midsize pistol grip has the Zebra logo along with the brands name. Keeping with the same color scheme it is black, white, and silver. I will note that I have larger hands and generally play with oversized grips. It is a little smaller than am used to or like to play but it has a nice soft and tacky feel that is similar to the Odyssey Jumbo grip I have on my current, soon to be ex, gamer. I am curious to see how it works for me on the course. Overall I am very impressed by the appearance. I have rolled a few putts on my indoor practice green and have only positives to say but I will wait to get into the details until I have had more time with it. I am playing a round with my wife tomorrow and will provide an update with my first experience on course. Wait....you were unboxing it and taking pics on your wedding day......hmmm. sirchunksalot and cciciora13 2 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
