Matt Saternus Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'll keep this simple: What shafts and training aids are out there that need to be reviewed? Let me know and I'll do my best to get them in for review. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcgolf Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 This one really caught my attention. http://www.3baysgsa.com/ It's a golf swing analyzer that plugs into the back of your grip and connects to your smartphone to give you all the data.

furu Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Real vs. Made For shaft. For example Nike VRS with Fubuki K. Is there a difference in performance? Maybe the made for shaft actually fits the clubhead better. SKLZ Recoil 360. Maybe a bit too much for average golfers, but could be useful for a pro in his/her lessons.

Matt Saternus Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just contacted 3Bays...and SKLZ...and both LM companies (Zelocity may have shut its door...phone is disconnected). Furu: I love the idea of real vs. made for. We will turn it over a bit and think about how we might explore that topic. Keep them coming!

Ice Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Seeing how I recently started a real vs. made for thread, I second that idea. It would be awesome to see head to head numbers.

Kuro Kage is in the books. I think it was published on the blog. Swing Wing reviews are floating around the forum somewhere. I'll check into the Tour Angle 144, and I contacted Aldila recently, so hopefully that will be on the way. As for Miyazaki...they're part of the Cleveland/Srixion group that doesn't like MGS too much. I have done some Miyazaki reviews in the past, and I absolutely love their "International Flex Code," but I don't know that you'll be seeing many more reviews of their stuff in the near future. You get your hands on a Miyazaki send it my way and you'll see the most comprehensive shaft review MGS has ever done! How? Do you have a robot?

Super Tuna Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 What shafts and training aids are out there that need to be reviewed? Fujikura Fuel Diamana S+ and D+ vs their old White/Blue's and the Kai'li/Ahina UST ISO 9000 Iron shaft Project X PXi Matrix X3 (Xcon replacement) The search function is your friend. Kuro Kage is in the books. I think it was published on the blog. Swing Wing reviews are floating around the forum somewhere. How? Do you have a robot? A: Indeed. Plus if you want an unoffcial one, mine of the Black is kicking around here and one for the Silver on WRX, which I should move here as well. B: Robot testing on shafts is useless. It amuses me that people keep bringing it up honestly. Until a robot learns how to c-o-c-k and unc-o-c-k a wrist join or has one built in, they cannot swing like a human and thus the data is not transferable from robot to real person.

Do you have a robot? From what I've seen elsewhere the B.Asha will be so good they won't have to worry about a negative review I realize it probably won't happen but it would be sweet to see it happen. I'll never be able to hit it unless it comes stock in a Cleveland driver sometime or manage to get a spare $300 to buy one. OK enough with the robot stuff lol. That would be completely unnecessary anyway if it isn't being directly compared to something else.

Lambo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Well I was going to ask for a steel vs graphite iron shaft comparison. Looking to see if there is any difference good or bad when you are comparing to the two in the same iron, with the same flex and approx. weight. Please don't shoot me now, that I know they are the bane of your existence! But it would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Par Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I read this article about Brandt Snedeker and his putting. http://www.pgatour.com/2012/tournaments/r060/09/19/insider-snedeker-putting/index.html It says he practices with a small laser device that attaches to his putter shaft. I don't know what device he uses, but I would be interested in seeing a review of a laser putting device (assuming you haven't done that already). Test it using a chalk line. I normally don't like training aids... but I'll do anything to make a putt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know it isn't a shaft or TA but how about the Cobra Ferrari driver? (slim) any chance of a PING review? Matrix shafts?

Ice Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yea, the "shoot out" will be a great event. I know this is wishfull thinking, because you resources have to be directed at the largest part of you base, however I'd like to see, say the "top" 3 or 4 muscle-backs reviewed. Again, I know that this isn't really practical. It's my "pie in the sky."..lol Fairways & Greens 4ever The way I look at blades in terms of reviews is, it's really hard to do. When it all boils down to it, MP-69s, 712 MBs, TP MBs, Razr X MBs, etc... are all almost the same thing except for looks. One isn't really gonna produce "better" numbers assuming all have the right shaft. The way I see it someone looking to buy blades picks the ones that feel the best and have their favorite brand's name stamped on the back.

GolfSpy WD Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Has there ever been a review of the Polara Straight golf balls? I was talking to a friend this weekend who said he is just frustrated by the 5th hole and stops enjoying the game. Might be nice to review stuff that deals with this problem. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if anyone has contacted Polara. Could be a good Lab. Not trying to be a jag, as all suggestions are appreciated, but if we could limit this thread to training aids and shafts, that would be helpful for me. Thanks.

hckymeyer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm going to say this would fall into the training aid category. I know you've done a few different indoor putting green reviews (BirdieBall, Provoto and Tour Links) but I would love to see an indoor putting green battle royal. I'm guessing a lot comes down to budget, but what's the best bang for your buck in indoor greens? Would be perfect timing with winter fast approaching as well as the holidays (hard for the wife to say no as a christmas present). Maybe even break it into a couple categories based on price and have a winner for each.

But if you needed someone who swings like a you know what - I'm your guy.
