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.

The Driver
In the past, it has been challenging to create products that can provide exceptional distance and forgiveness at the same time. In most cases, a product would deliver one benefit at the expense of the other, but the M2 gives golfers the best of both worlds. M2 is built with a multi-material construction – the same as M1 - that features an ultra-light, ultra-thin and high-strength Carbon Composite Crown; unlocking exceptional distance and forgiveness for more golfers.

Criteria
3 Testers total will be involved in this review.
You must be able to play golf. Either on the course or in a practice facility.
RH only for this one.

Qualifying
THP is and always will remain free of charge. For those that want more, such as THP Events, equipment testing and much much more, the Albatross Club is available. Your "ticket" is the 2016 Albatross Club membership which goes to help animal shelters and pets in need around the country. For more information on that or to sign up and help support this great cause, click here.

Testing Process
If selected it will be your job to test the driver 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 couple of months 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)?

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.
