2019 Grandaddy of em All Event with Callaway Golf

[PapaJohick]

It certainly is firmer. Pretty sure it’s almost the same ball Mickelson uses. I do enjoy using it from time to time.

 

[clarkgriswold]

I’ll play whatever they think is best based on the fitting data. It’ll be nice to know I’ll play the same ball 100% of the trip .

Cannot remember if it’s been asked but ball wise, do y’all play the chromesoft or erc or other Callaway ball? If you are currently, did you just recently switch to it after finding out you’re on the team?

If you do not, why and do you think you’ll be able to play it for more than the GD?

I've been playing the graphene version of the CS for the past couple years. I didn't love the previous version, but I've had great results with this one.

very good question.

i am bouncing back and forth between erc soft and csxtt, which are very different balls. if i could get csxtt performance off driver and around greens, with erc soft feel and iron performance and price, i’d have the perfect ball.

i really want to ask finley and the fitters which ball i should be playing.

In just a few days, we’ll have another teammate. Another one of the lucky few who undeservingly get to partake in the greatest golf event of all time.

Picture yourself arriving to the Ely Callaway Performance Center in a chartered bus, being told you have full access to any and all clubs including unreleased gear and that the same professionals that fit Phil, Kisner, Sergio, and Xander will be fitting you.

Oh yea and you’ll get a bag of 14 clubs, bag, balls, gloves, tees, anything you’ll need all delivered 24 hours later at a piece of paradise that very few will ever play.

Man this stuff gets the juices flowin!! Get in on this contest boys!

I’d go with whatever you feel helps you the best into and on/around the greens. That’s where score can add up real quick

 

[PapaJohick]

Mclovin, I would say go with whatever ball gives you what you need from 120 and in. At that distance you start hitting some partial shots. Specifically inside 60 yards. Whatever ball gives you what you need there is where I would go. That’s why o now play pretty much either the prov1x or the tp5x. A firmer ball with a nice flight and good spin (for my game).

i know my experience is different than some, but to me both balls perform pretty much identically from this distances, maybe erc going a little farther with higher launch and reduced spin, but with a higher peak height it has the same stopping power. i haven’t experienced any issues holding greens with partial shots. it’s really just green side chips and pitches where erc soft will run out a good bit more.

One of the best parts of being on the team is the support of past participants. 2018 was an epic thread to read through and will be a hard one to follow.

Since it is an "off season" event for me, the second my season is starting to wind down, the realization that this thing is right around the corner is hitting very hard.

I know this will fly by and be gone before I know it. I don't want to wish my life away, but dammit, I cannot wait for December.coming from a guy in Fargo, ND, that says a lot. I think I may be one of a small number of members that have to suffer through worse weather than KEV

I spent some time today looking at all of the different clubs that Callaway has to offer. I spent over an hour holding and comparing the different lines. It is still hard to comprehend that I am going to get my choice of all these clubs but they will be custom fit to my specs by the best fitters in the world.



I like the Epic Flash hybrids although I have not hit them yet.



I like the look of the black wedges, I have never tried a high toe design but I prefer a traditional shaped wedge.



This Toulon Las Vegas was working very well with the triple track practice balls. The roll off the face is so pure and fun to watch.




The Epic Forged irons are the real reason I went there today. I hit the Demo 7 iron 190 yards on the fly with total distance of 213 yards. I will give some feedback in the Epic Forged irons review thread later.

My wife was hangry and giving me the stink eye so I had to end it there haha.

 

[PapaJohick]

It is hard to believe that you guys and a few more lucky people will get that opportunity. Still boggles the mind haha.

I do want to look at that epic forged as a long iron replacement though. I’m definitely interested in going back to the pm grind lob wedge. I have the older model but I wore it down. Not unhappy with my cobra wedges but I’m not as confident playing certain shots with the lob wedge as I was with the pm grind.

I was amazed at how effortless it was to hit this seven iron 200 + yards. I cannot wait to try the 4 and 5 irons as well. Jman will give us some feedback on the long irons. I am predicting his 5 iron will go 240-250 on the fly. UNREAL!!

McLovin and team, do you still guys pinch yourselves daily at the opportunity you all have coming up later this year?

Just this morning, I looked back over the list of the team on the first page to insure my name was still there.

I am the latest participant from just a few weeks ago and I still think of the Grandaddy several times in an hour. I am supposed to be working but my mind is in California.

Almost every day!!!! I check the list every week to make sure my name is still there. They haven't x out my picture in the Meet the Team thread yet so I think I am good.

Good so far. Haven't played near as much as many of my teammates, but played 9 last week and had a personal best. Everything was feeling good. Have a lesson scheduled for the 10th.

I’m jealous of you guys...that build up was excruciating and amazing.
