Everything I've seen so far has it with great numbers. 10k MOI without jacking up the spin sounds too good to be true.

They are the only company that I have had a video call with who has decided to not take part. Not a slight on them at all, it didn't fit what they were looking for I guess and was around the time they had rumors of struggling. Maybe another time!

rjacobs4 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 DTC ball comparison, quality as well as performance (distance, spin, etc.). Lots of offerings in this sector. It would be nice to put them head to head. You covered many of them in your 2023 test but there are many more offerings out there. Who's claims match up to testing?, Maxfli, Kirkland, Snell, Vice, Inesis, Cut, Seed, OnCore, ODIN, Volvik, Quantix, Piper, Wilson, etc..

CB Lobo 4 Life Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) This may be such a stretch of a request but I would LOVE (I mean LOVE) to be able to test out the new Ping Blueprint S irons. I love the look and I played Ping's way back in High School if there were anything I would love to test this year it would be a set of irons. I didn't throw my hat in the ring for the TM Qi10 because, well I bought it haha, I mean my old Sim and TM irons bought it haha. Got to love trade-ins!

Rob Person Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Thos looked interesting. And would make for a good test. They say you can use it with or without balls, connect through their app on any device capable of using it, and it's not priced too badly at $99 . Comes with everything you need.

While I would agree it would be cool, im not sure possible in a forum sense. Most wanted testing covers a lot of that comparison where forum testing is a lot more of brand feature. What I can say is that there will be plenty of tests where similar products are reviewed and then comparison can be done then between the groups. unccross, Rob Person, Bad Golfer and 3 others 6 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

xranax Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I had a new thought. Graphite vs Iron shaft. I’ve played graphite shaft irons my entire life. Only recently, I bought a singular blueprint 7 iron for practise which has a metal shaft and it does feel different in the swing. Sure swing weights are different so not an entirely fair comparison. I prefer the graphite. Definitely overlooked. Any options which have non traditional choices aren’t well explored areas.
