I agree, I think you testers covered a lot in your times with each model. I have a couple dozen of the previous generation that I haven't even opened yet, but I need to so I can justify my purchase of the new gen Vice balls.

I want to test the VeroX1's to the Tours, and the Snells were just a curiosity when they were clearing out inventory for the new balls. I try to stick with 1 ball and not vary, unless I'm testing.

Way more then I should have, but the reasons why are 3 fold: 1. I get random sleeves at scramble events 2. Any league prize is only good for the PRO shop and is usually too small for anything except golf balls. 3. My wife is a clearance shopper, and sends me pics of clearance balls and asks if I want them.

webahoi Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Hello. Has anyone already tested the new Vice Pro against the old Vice Pro?

PAR4MEPlease Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I agree that the testers provided excellent write-ups. I recently tried the VICE Pro and was seriously impressed with the soft feel of the club, the distance. I must say that the only minor downfall was durability of the cover. It scuffed too easily on some hard surfaces and occasionally scarred off wedge shots. I recommend that you give them a try. Rob Person and Lefty11 1 1 Quote P.A.

chisag Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 ... I think of the MGS Forum as a great big family. One of the things I love about reviews is not only getting the opinion of a fellow golfer and even if they are not applicable for my game an index, it lets me know about products I don't use but my playing pards might be interested in trying. Plus they are just interesting and fun. ... Which brings me to a pet peeve. Not posting a picture of yourself, especially if you don't have an avatar picture leaves an incomplete picture. It should be mandatory. A nice profile picture would be ideal and including family, pets, etc is a nice touch but really any picture is nice as it gives us an idea of who we are reading.

Dear fellow actor, Not everyone is as comfortable in front of the camera as we are While we DO encourage all testers to post photos of themselves in the Introduction, it is by no means mandatory, as I've met many people (as have you, I'm sure) who absolutely dread being in pictures. No reason to make someone do something they dread - the review is often plenty of pressure, especially for first-time testers. That being said, I agree with you that it really DOES help us get to know each other and to have a visual to imagine the tester out on the course with the equipment.
