Forum Testing Review Recaps!

[KC Golf]

I did my second Test this year, and the more polished templates and the Mod interaction throughout the process was really great.  Also it was nice meeting the other testers virtually as well.  

I enjoyed both tests a lot and I think we all provided some interesting testing feedback as opposed to just chirping praises of the product.  

I agree with Jamie that some lesser known products are just as big OEMs.  

Testing is a responsibility not to be taken lightly, but it’s also a lot of fun.  I think through the process, I have encouraged other golfers in my club to try products we are testing and it improves our reviews and the after test interactions with members.

Thanks again Mods for all of your hard work!

the iron covers look really interesting, My Takomo 301 MB's are beautifully soft however they do get nicked a bit while walking etc. i have been kicking around the idea of iron covers and these look really nice.

@Jim Shaw. Go for it. I know many people refuse to use covers and for them that OK. I don't like the noise as I walk and more importantly, the nicks that happen. I know often the reason is it slows pace of play. Frankly, I tallied how long it took me to remove and replace my covers for a round of 18. 6 minutes total. While on the same round the time I spent on the tees waiting for the group ahead was 32 minutes. Just saying, if you like covers, go for it.

Very nice job everyone. Well done. Thank you for your input.

Another recap is up! This one is here for us already but nice to see it hit the main site.

This seemed to be the ultimate in testing opportunities! Fittings, full bag setups, intense and fun challenges! 

I've read through the testing thread and reviews and have to say it sounded like it was an excellent outcome overall!

The final article posted above definitely showed the effort put into the tests.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Man I wasn’t even a part of the test but it was so much fun! So much information! Playing with wedges only and competing with forum crew was fun! Made wanting to stay here all the more real!

It's so good seeing this recap on the main site, I got chills and it's not because it's cold outside. I enjoyed the challenge and making new friends along the way. The amount of participation in this thread just blew me away. This is THE testing opportunity on the forum and I can tell you it was better than I had dreamed as someone who has been around for a few of them. 

The Cobra clubs were great, my fellow testers were phenomenal, and I want to thank everyone who participated and made this challenge what it was. 

Great article, Jamie!

Can't take credit for writing this one. Your fellow competitor @Jnoble89 did this full recap!

[CFreddie]

That’s my teammate @Jnoble89!!!

I feel the same way @sirchunksalot- still pinching myself at the opportunity last season and finding this community almost a year ago!

Great job on the article Jason @Jnoble89. It brought back the entire experience all over again. I was very fortunate to be part of it and was so glad to see it make it onto the main site.

This is a great idea!  Was this their first contribution as official MGS leaders or the reason they got selected???

I'll be honest the hope is that everyone from the beginning of being selected would want to take crazy good pictures. It makes the reviews that much more enjoyable!
