TaylorMade fitting at The International in the TAYLORMADE PERFORMANCE LAB!!

[Wicked Cool Bearded Man]

Today I got this really great email saying that I won a dozen TaylorMade Penta balls and a free 2.5 hour fitting session at a performance lab located at The International (also known as the longest course in the world). I know several THP er's were selected to experience The Kingdom about a year ago. While this isn't quite the same thing, I'm really excited about the opportunity. At this point, I have only hit a single R9 6 iron from the entire stable of TM clubs for a total of about 6 balls IN MY LIFE. This includes drivers through putters. Thus, I am really looking forward to trying out everything they have to offer. I also plan on doing a write-up after explaining exactly what took place and what my fitting results were for the TaylorMade line up. From what I understand, they do a complete 3D scan of your swing and work from there. I also have done a GolfTec fitting in the past and came away very, very happy with the experience. The GolfTec fitting was very reasonably priced in my opinion at $99. This fitting runs around $350-$400 normally and I'm not sure it is offered (at least at The International) to non-members. Whatever the result, I look forward to keeping you all updated, and comparing the two vastly different priced fittings for future THP reference!

Wow!!! Congrats, that is a great prize! How did you win it? I don't even remember seeing a contest for that.

Congrats, man, that is awesome! This will likely be one hell of an experience.

**I live about 20 minutes from there.

It was from a local New England golf publication. I actually forgot I entered. I got the email today at work and was like "what the heck is that.... wait I WON? .... What'd I win?" hahahhaha

Yeah I'm really pumped. I used to play Twin Springs... which is right next door and owned by the same people. We used to peak through the trees at the heaven that was THE International haha. Last year I was lucky enough to play it. Then we went inside the club house and I peaked into the TM lab and felt the same thing all over again.

Thanks! Really interested in the process and to see how different it is (or similar) to GolfTec.

I have read lots about TMPL fittings and a few guys here have been through them...it's totally different than GolfTec, they fit you with little sensors all over and then have you hit balls and record the data which creates an animation of your swing...kinda like they do for video games!

It reads every single thing in your swing so they can customize your club heads and shafts to match your swing plane. There is one in Houston at Redstone and I have really wanted to go..just been having a hard time spending 400 bucks on it.

It's really funny you brought up the video game analogy. That is exactly what I was thinking when I went to the website.

Doc I did notice that after you went to the Kingdom, your bag definitely went heavier on the TM side - going to have to get the check book ready....
