I think YouTube will offer you a chance to get over some nerves and be a little more comfortable creating your teaching method, even if the video doesn't get a lot of views it would help you plan out your sessions and get a firmer grasp on your concept. 

As for stuff here - self promotion for financial gain is not allowed by way of using our platform. 

Now if you wanted post a little tutorial for information to help ppl go for it! It is when someone gets into trying to sell their selves that we have some issues.

We have a new update coming soon that gives us a few more options on the forum. Some of these things will help bring new content to golfers and maybe there is a way to feed in some lesson type material.

Take a look at the broomstick piece Mission man did and maybe it will give you some further ideas and allow you to write a piece that could potentially be published.

Thanks.  I did post my Step by Step guide to putt cross handed here on a forum, I think it is lost tho, I haven't had any feedback in about 3 or 4 weeks.  It is in Member Community General Q&A I think.  I have a hard navigating around the site.

My latest idea, it seems I like pink color ball around and on the green.  I think only 1 brand, a barely known brand Saintnine, makes a pink urethane, so I am going to pester Titleist and Snell to make one.  Pink does not have to mean a surlyn/ionomer cover type ball.

It is in the Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips.   Essentially you are teach a specific method and you would have to convince people what putting a specific way is the correct/best way.   In your post you tell people how you perform cross handed putting but provide no supporting information on why it is better than any other method.

Hi Ch.  Yes I only offer it as my own summary after a lot of trial and error and learning.  To anybody who might be interested or is trying it.  No, I don't have stats because I don't yet play enough rounds, or do any statistically valid testing.  And I wouldn't take time to play a bunch of rounds using a different method.  And I am obviously not yet motivated to work for money.  I am enjoying my new retirement too much.  Thanks for finding it on the MGS site.  I really used to be a computer whiz.  On Lotus 1-2-3.

I would live to test out the new GT Titleist woods !! I think those are going to change the game watch !! 

[Big Deal Walsh]

I would love to see Broomstick putting to be put to the test. I would also volunteer as tribute to be a tester 

[msanagustin]

With so many options out there, I would be interested reading/seeing a test of Hybrid and long iron utility clubs.

Lately my 2 and 3 irons have been my go to clubs for longer distances in any condition, and have left clubs like an old heaven wood and 5 irons in the bag or in the car .... 

[JAYER38]

I wouldn't mind seeing more iron testing from DTC brands such as like Sub70, Maltby, Forward Golf, etc. Something that would almost test a fitting system not just a product to prove what they have to say.

Even maybe just a test of a fitting system product as everyone seems to have different ways of figuring out what a player needs

Superspeed and Stack have been tested several times.   Is there a specific product you want tested or alternatives to this type of speed training?

We may go Rypstick, but the others have been done at length. Including superspeed that had issues with engagement so we will leave those for now.

[VistaKing]

I would like to see you compare putting stats for flat faced putters v.s. round faced putters.

[T_it_up]

Static testing between different models of a product line. Example: New Titleist GT drivers all tested under same conditions with same settings at different swing speeds to compare numbers

[Watty32]

I would absolutely love a Lab Golf Putter

MGS should do a test were we take an old club from 10 years ago and test it against a club from today

Forum tests are going to be primarily new equipment.  The main site is where you will get more of the brand vs. brand and old vs. new type comparisons with defined protocols and data captured from GC Quad launch monitors.  Search the LABs section of the main site.

I am sure it has been reviewed in previous seasons, but the new Mizuno JPX and Pro line-ups are intriguing!

Everyone enjoys seeing new equipment being tested!  It would be great to see golf apparel, sunglasses, and shoes put to the test next year.

Shoes will happen. 

The rest - are ones we have to evaluate. They aren't really member tests from what we have found. The engagement isn't there and it is tough for members to do a full term review on them. You wear an item, wash it and wear it again and can probably write a full review on it. What more is there to really do or say? 

This also goes to the core where we are going to be adapting some opportunities and make them just make more sense.

That would be an awesome test!

[Siamese Moose]

I'm not sure where to put a request for an article for the main site, but this seems as good a place as any: Prescription glasses for golf. I paid top dollar (>$500) for a golf specific prescription pair, but it's from a company (SportRX) that I know is world class in their grinding technology. There are much cheaper options out there, but I'm worried the key word here is "cheap". Many of the frame companies offer prescription if you buy direct, but the prices vary widely, and the reviews are always glowing. Unfortunately, the one case I know of a friend bought from Oakley's site, and was greatly disappointed in the prescription accuracy.
