I,m gratful that THP has picked you CL and the others [ forgot names offhand } to do a review on these clubs , shows that they have trust in there reviewers why should the just let some Joe Schmoo do a review that has no passion fpr the game .If i have thought that the reviewers for the Di11's were a bunch of jokers i would have never considered buying these clubsI just got done reading the first post and will read the rest of the thread right now. I just wanted to post that I have found the selection process to be quite fair. I was very lucky to be selected for the Wilson Staff Di11's and I hope to do THP proud with a long term review of these irons. That being said I have never been upset that I didn't get picked for something. I was here a while before I got chosen and honestly I was always hopeful to be selected for things but I was never upset when I was not picked. I was always happy for the person selected, definitely a little jealous, but always anxious to start reading the reviews. I mean that is what it was all about I thought. I didn't come here looking for handouts. My initial foray into this forum was because I wanted to read a review on a 3 wood and I was hooked ever since.
Maybe what I can say is that getting chosen for a review is awesome. I was so shocked and so happy I just don't know how to type it out and convey the awesomeness of it. When I got the clubs I was just as happy. Today after having the clubs for roughly a month? I'm just as happy. But honestly it is not just that I was given free clubs and that is the end of it. There is a responsibility to write a review of the clubs. People need to be aware that some time is going to have to be put in in order to do a good job. I know that I play my round of golf and I take a nice amount of notes during the round. I then go home and it probably takes me anywhere from an hour to 2 hours to put together a writeup of the round. I love doing it and quite honestly hope to be involved in more things like this but I don't want people to think that all you do is get free clubs and then write down a few lines about whether or not you like the clubs and thats it. There is a responsibility to do a proper review.
I dont know. I have a lot to say on the subject but I think it will come out wrong simply because I have been one of the lucky ones. I am going to read this thread now and maybe not post some thoughts that will be a little too harsh. Good on you JB & GG for allowing people to hash this out.
JB and GG do what you think is right it all works out in the end
