Congrats to the testers.  Probably for the best I wasn't selected as with the amount of rain we have gotten recently, I would have had to stand in the shower or head to the course at night when they were watering to test it out! 😄

So testers, who has a radar device that can track clubhead speed?  I’m of course interested in how well gear keeps you dry, but I’m just as concerned with how much it does or doesn’t restrict your swing?  A comparison test of clubhead speeds with and without the gear on would be pretty interesting..

Another thought: ice bucket challenge Galway style.  Don the gear, dump the bucket, and see how dry you are underneath…. Testers could call out other forum members to put on their old rain gear too.  Just saying…have some fun with this one fellas!

Would a comparable test be if my club distances and dispersion wasn’t effected?

Congrats to all those picked for testing this gear.  Will be interesting to hear how it goes in the midst of rain - does one stay dry, melt away in the inside....I have friends who will point to the sky and say there are too many clouds, might rain, will stay home today.  Good rain gear makes for a great day when others don't want to play.
