THP Experiences
At THP, we believe that testing should be done not only by us, but also by the wonderful forum members and we have another new testing project. One of the cool features about being an active member of the THP Forum is that we look to you guys/gals, the consumers, to give feedback on equipment to golfers all around the world. Each month we send out iron sets, drivers, putters, training aids and golf balls to our active members to be a part of the THP Forum Member testing.

See what Grandura says about THP Testing

The Shafts
As many of you have been following along to the THP Exclusive launch of this brand, GRANDURA is a premium shaft that is made in the USA. If you have missed any of the details, you can find them all here. We do urge each person interested in testing one of these shafts, to review each of the short THP TV exclusive videos and learn more about what this unique company is putting out.

Criteria
10 Testers total will be involved in this review.
You must be able to play golf. Either on the course or in a practice facility.
6 Testers total will be chosen from this forum testing signup to join Myself, Hawk, Jman & Canadan (THP Equipment Writers).

Testing Process
If selected it will be your job to test the shaft (or have significant other test the product) and update the official testing thread with feedback on your findings. This is long term testing and will need updates for a period of a month or so. If you are looking for info on what forum testing feedback should look like, check out one of the many review threads to see how others have fared.

To participate you must be an active forum member or become an active forum member. Being active on THP has its benefits and product testing is one of them (monthly testing like this). If you are new, that is okay, being active is more than just tenure.

Rules
This is not a contest, so there really are no rules. All we ask is that you make a post in this thread and answer these questions. Please have an answer to all questions and be specific.

1. What is your current driver head?
2. What shaft are you currently playing (flex, weight, brand, type)?
3. What is your driver swing speed?
4. What is your typical ball flight (high vs low, left vs right, etc)?
5. Do you think your golf swing is aggressive or smooth?

Keep in mind if you are not chosen for this, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future here at THP for testing and other product trials. Stay active and you will have a chance to be part of these awesome testings we do here.

Testing is open to all Members on THP. However free shipping of the golf shafts (if selected) is only available to Albatross Club Members (along with many other perks). If you are not a member & would like to become one and help support Folds Of Honor, click here.
