THP Shaft Up with UST Mamiya is about making the impossible, possible. World Class fitting, new equipment for each participant and of course playing golf at an awesome course. You will leave the event armed with more knowledge, better gear and of course the memories that last forever.
How To Get Involved
Getting to be a part of this special program will be by sign up in the respective threads when they go up. Your 2026 Albatross Club membership is your key to unlock this and many other programs on THP. If you are not a member, and want information on how to join and help support an amazing charity helping children in need, click here.

It Said Equipment What Does That Mean
Every THP Shaft Up event will not only feature new shafts, but brand new equipment. Each participant will get fit for premium UST Mamiya shafts with the fitting done by Danny Le personally. And while there, walk away with a brand new Callaway driver that perfectly fits your game. We can’t say what the driver model will be as of yet, because it has not been released yet, but it will be a new 2026 product.
The Finale & Competition
Each person that gets into this world class THP Experience will be paired with another THPer to create their team, complete with team name. There will be four total teams in each Shaft Up event. If you are lucky enough to win one, you will get a ticket punched to the 2026 Shaft Up Finale, where custom shafts, swag and more are all on the table.
How To Signup
Stay tuned to the THP Forum as signups for this one will be coming January 7th, 2026. Four lucky THPers will get this incredible opportunity, as @bmiller813 and @hedley_lamarr08 have already earned their way in.

There is a lot to take in. The forgiveness will allow me to really go after it now and not worry about it

I have feeling I’ll be in a Max. Obviously I’ll go whatever Danny suggests but that’s what my early guess is. I play a subtle fade but not so much that ECPC fitters thought I should go Max D and that was 100% the right call.

Got some reading to do on the new driver that will be getting paired up with the shaft

He said the club was forgiving 🤪
So after seeing one of the other event threads brought back up and pulling a picture from this thread of night putting at Arborlinks I figure might be a cool idea to pull the last shaft up at Arborlinks for reference.

[USER=3]@JB[/USER] it’d be really cool to see a fitting video of one of the participants working with [USER=47008]@DannyLe[/USER] , similar to what [USER=5944]@Lord Tox[/USER] posted yesterday. I’d love to see how Danny works through things. Any chance of that?

Living in no-where-ville trying to fly to no-where-ville
Columbus to KC with a total 5.5 hours minimum drive time to venue. I’d be better off to drive out there.

Trying to avoid Atlanta but it looks like its the winner. Strange flying from Charleston to Omaha. Fly on Wed its $200 more than Tuesday. Strange to say the least.

Doing a video of mine would either be educational or annoying, considering it will be my first fitting ever…lol

Any flight I plan starts with avoiding Atlanta at all costs if possible.
Just catching up on this thread. I’m currently in information overload with all the new stuff getting released. I think I’ve watch every second of every review on the Callaway drivers. I plan to get my airline tickets in the next couple of days, hoping to connect in Charlotte if possible. Thanks for sharing the link to the last Shaft up I plan to dive into that tonight.

I’m doing flights this week that is likely what I’m going to do as well for travel. Flights home have been the biggest issue for some reason
