Live Update Thread & Contest - The 2016 HandCrafted Experience with Project X

[Uzumati]

Glad I played early today can't wait to follow along.

Question: For any of you previously fit in a store like I was and seeing the difference between store fittings and shaft expert fittings what is the biggest difference in the procedure to you.

Question: Is there any material on the near horizon that Project X is looking to integrate into their shafts, that right now might be considered as "outside the box"?

I'm searching for a stiff, low spinning mid launch shaft for my 105mph swing speed, something that would make me look good; at least make me look like I know what I'm doing...any suggestions based on your experience with this incredible experience?

Haha, nice question! Almost identical to mine!! I hope one of us gets an answer, I'd love to check into some PX love and see what they can do for me!

Are the gold bags gummy bears? Anyone partaking?

8 flags were used to create our baseline shafts. Don is going over each one right now.

Tweeted and question is:

What is the most overlooked or most important element to get right when fitting someone into a shaft out of length, weight, flex, kick point, and torque? Could you possibly list the order in which you determine each of these in a fitting?

Thanks and now that work has slowed a bit I can really follow this, I'm excited for everyone there!

Going over carbon fiber

Very interesting that Strength and Stiffness are on different axis. I would have thought the two factors were synonimous.

 

[Bayoubogeyguy]

What surprised you the most about the process? Should you use the same #HZRDUS shaft in both the driver and 3 wood to get consistent ball flight? Enjoy this amazing experience!

Stiffness = how stiff material is
Strength = how durable or easy to break

You can have a strong material L flex, but also a weak material X flex.

Twitterated have a blast guys looking forward to following along.

Is that one of the bigger determining factors in the cost of a shaft, the material strength?

 

[Drumdog]

My question - Do you ever see Kevlar composite ever coming into play in golf shaft production ?

 

[JB]

Take the tour live on periscope with the guys.

 

[MWard]

Don's a smart man, he made sure you had Haribo gummy bears.. Unarguably the best maker of gummy bears in existence. I like those cups, a lot.

My question: If you have a person in a fitting that is stuck between two shafts where either one could work for them, which one are you more likely to suggest?

 

[JB]

Don talking torque

 

[Brianbigoats]

Question : How many materials are used to make the Hzrdus

 

[Awkward silence]

Drinking from one right now while I follow along. They keep drinks COLD.

Don't explaining the flags

Larry is a rolling Icon

 

[JB]

The periscope is awesome.

 

[Awkward silence]

Larry is THE best. He will guide you guys right through the making of yours. I remember feeling super nervous about rolling my own because I was super scared I would mess it up and waste the materials.

 

[jdtox]

Watching Larry roll a shaft. #HandCrafted

 

[Girardcorp]

Are shafts essentially designed for tour use and they trickle down to the consumers, or are companies like Project X starting out looking for ways to improve the average golfer? What's the easiest flaw to correct for? Spin, loft etc..

 

[McLovin]

Don spits truth at a blazing pace. already learned so much and will post about it but don't want to miss anything.
