TaylorMade Club Testers Wanted!


Tony Covey MGS

Recommended Posts

T.A.D... MGS tried that back in the beginning of the forums with a "contest" in which people were supposed to send some of the items back to be passed along. Lots of those people were one and done users. Got the stuff and disappeared. That NEVER works.

In The Bag
Driver: TaylorMade M2 (2017) w/ Project X T1100 HZRDUS Handcrafted 65x 
Strong 3 wood: Taylormade M1 15* w/ ProjectX T1100 HZRDUS handcrafted 75x
3 Hybrid: Adams PRO 18* w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"
4 Hybrid: Adams PRO 20* (bent to 21*) w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"
4-AW: TaylorMade P770 w/ Dynamic Gold Tour Issue Black Onyx S400

SW: 56* Scratch Tour Dept(CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold Spinner
LW: 60* Scratch Tour Department (CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold Spinner
XW: 64* Cally XForged Vintage w/ DG X100 8 iron tiger stepped
Putter: Nike Method Prototype 006 at 34"

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.

Agreed. while the majority of us want to test the new goodies. The "benefit" of testing is keeping the clubs I wouldn't be opposed to the send back for move reviews option. Problem being not everyone is honest and it should be viewed as a contract but getting it in writting...the legal issues would be a nightmare I presume. with high priced, highly sought after products it is always a damned if you do damned if you don't situaiton. There is a hell of alot of work the talented and valued reviewers put into this and that is greatly compensated with the benefit of keeping the club(s). the opposite to that is when select members who have produced great product reviews get picked and others cry and moan. Again damend if you do damned if you don't.

 

However there is always room to make processes better.

fsav, very good points!

 

Just a quick thought before I leave the house, perhaps a contractual process that allows the readers to vote on the quality of the reviews. If the review is considered to meet the standards expected by the readers of this site, then the reviewer keeps the product. If the review is considered beneath the site's expected quality, the product is returned.

 

Ultimately, this site survives on the quality of it's product and I've purchased a number of products based on what's been reviewed here. Primarily, because I consider the reviews HERE to be of more value to me.

 

I READ a lot of golf blogs but I tend to give more weight to my purchase decisions based on what I read here than I do other sites.

  • Must be able to take and post high-quality photographs, string a few sentences together and follow our community review template
  • Must be a current MyGolfSpy Newsletter Subscriber
  • Must be able to thoroughly test a fairway wood and hybrid (kinda goes without saying, doesn't it?)
  • Sorry...must be a right-handed resident of the USA or Canada
  • Must be able to live up to the standards set by the guys who absolutely killed it with the RocketBladez iron reviews.

  • What fairway wood(s) are in your bag right now
  • What hybrid(s) are in your bag right now

You may have noticed that TaylorMade's RocketBallz Stage 2 Marketing Campaign is all about "-IER" as in the Stage 2 product line is RocketBallz-IER than the original Using one word or phrase containing "IER", describe the type of review you will write for our community.

 

Really basic and boring examples include:

Review-IER

Picture-IER

Even more MyGolfSpy-IER than a MyGolfSpy Review (which I guess is the same as Review-IER).

I would love-ier to test the RBZ stage 2 fairway and hybrid and provide a detailed review for the members her at MGS.

I would be able to produce Hi-res pictures using a Nikon DSL camera, and I have access to trackman, flightscope and foresight launch monitors.

 

My most recent index was 0.8

My current fairway wood is RBZ speed head 15* 3 wood and R11s 19* 5 wood

Current hybrids are RBZ Tour 3 18.5* and Superlaunch-ier 4 hybrid 22*

It would be a great comparison of last years equipment to this years equipment. Lets see how they really stack up.

 

 

I will-ier be happy-ier to provide accurate-ier results, honest-ier feedback and make you all proud-ier.

Pick-ier ME!!!!

 

Thanks for the opportunity

X-ier

For me, this is the best part of the game in that it is a game of virtue, integrity & honor and it attracts inviduals with these same character traits.

 

What a game, eh? B)

Can't you just flip it toe down? Then we could test the ultimate forgiveness on off-center toe hits

I'm dying-ier over here.

Let's give the benefit of the doubt here. Tech savyier and the clubs were included. at best it thins out the crowd for those who have read the initial post. for goodnessier sake!

 

This would definitely be on the ESPN COME ON MAN special.
