Working on my calendar and schedule today. Hopefully I can make this one work. It will be a fun road trip.
 
That's going to be an awesome event! I wish I was down in Florida that weekend.
 
Looking at the schedule this morning. Would be a treat to make it back to Florida for another weekend with THP fun!
 
wonder if my wife would let me extend the Cali trip lol
 
Sweet! Tomorrow morning it is!

Oh I know, it was a joke since Im gone here and there in May quite a bit
 
This is gonna be really cool
 
So nice looking. I have been pondering one of these for a while. I can't tell you how many I've built on the website only to back out.
 
Tomorrow at nine a.m. Hmmm. I can probably still make my tee time for this weekend's tournament. Have to see if I can make this work.
 
Those who are available to enter are in for a treat and will get some great wedges.
 
I like the itinerary, Hope to be one of the 8. The first club testing was a lot of fun.

JB, Charge the GoPro

It will be ready to go.
 
JB do you ever use the launch monitor for wedge testing?
 
So awesome. Love seeing Hopkins getting in on the THP action!
 
Such a cool event, I can't wait to follow along.

Thanks JB.

I have not paid attention to LM data and wedges. Maybe I should

I do not believe he was talking about this specific event, I believe he was talking about in general when JB has the LM at the range.

I know he was talking about using the monitor on the "JB Short Game" thread to discuss the spin he received from different golf balls.
 
Which leads me to this thought. Since the ball matters when it comes to spin, wouldn't range balls throw off those results

I dont recall mentioning the use of range balls.

I like this. That should really help in your testing.

No so long as you are using the same balls with each club. You will at least get club vs club comparison. And by the sounds of it, people might get to use their own balls in the short-game area.
