THP Experiences
Couple of months ago we kicked off this amazing monthly drawing and this continues for May, the THP & UST Shaft Spectacular. Each month two lucky THPers get the tour treatment as 2016 continues to #ChangeTheGame. For those looking at what this is all about, check out the Live Update Thread from the February edition and see the surprises. Or here for the March thread and see the surprises.

How To Get Involved
Getting to be a part of this special program will be by sign up each month in the respective threads. Your 2016 Albatross Club membership is your key to unlock this and many other programs on THP. If you are not a member, and want information on how to join and help support the Humane Society shelters and animals in need, click here.

It Said Equipment What Does That Mean
It changes every month and the program will be different every month. One month it might be all about the driver, the next month it could be irons and so on. It will be a surprise when you walk through the door and are greeted by THP & UST and you never know what will be included. The only thing we can say on this is, prepare to be surprised and no two months will ever be the same in their entirety. We have seen new Callaway drivers given away, new Miura wedges and so much more.

Signing Up
All you have to do is signup in this thread and let us know that you want to be a part of this amazing couple of days and why. Please also include this information.

UST Mamiya & THP Shaft Spectacular - May 2016

UST Mamiya & THP Shaft Spectacular - May 2016

Ready for my fourth chance to get in this event! I would love to be a part of this I can learn a lot from the Shaft Yoda himself. Spent a little time with him recently. Enough to know I need to learn a lot more.

Driver - Speedrulz 50 Red Stiff I wanted to try a little lighter shaft than my Speeder 665

Fairway woods - Speeder 665 Stock shaft and seems to work well. Cut 1.25" to be more like a 2 hybrid

Hybrids - Stock Project X and seem to suit me fine. Like a slightly heavier shaft like these than is offered in some hybrids.

Irons - Just bought Callaway's Apex CH 16s with Recoil 110s Stiff. Love the shaft, and decided on them after dealing with elbow issue.

Wedges - KBS Tour V125 stick that came with wedges. But want to transition to Recoil 125.

Putter - Stock Scotty shaft

Would love a chance to get fit by the best, especially after seeing launch angles and spin rates way too high.

Driver: Callaway GBB Grandura 590
3w: GBB AD DI-7s
7w: SLDRs AD DI-7s
25 degree: SLDRs Fujikura Speeder 82g S
5-PW XR Pro KBS C-Taper 120g S

There could only be on possible reason why I'm not signing up to try and win this trip: I'm in New York with THP and CURE putters taking the CURE! I will have to be patient and try for this one in June, assuming there will be that opportunity. I envy those that get picked for this, however.
 
I want to be part of #THPShaftSpectacular with THP and UST because I know my knowledge in shafts in lacking and I know of no better way to get a crash course in shaft tech then with Danny/Lindsey and crew in TX, direct from the source, UST!!!

Driver - Diamana Kai'li stiff
Fairway - Project X LZ 6.5
Hybrids - UST Elements Chrome stiff
Irons - Matrix Program F15 95s
Wedges - Stock TT and KBS
Putter - Stock steel
 
Yes!!!! I want to be a part of the UST Mamiya Shaft Spectacular!!! I'm needing desperate help finding the right shafts for my clubs so we're enmeshed. I know the great peeps at UST could be an incredible help with my game by giving me that key to the lock of perfectly fitting clubs!

Driver: Diamana Whiteboard 70S
Fwy: Diamana D+ 82X
Hybrids: Tour AD-DI 85X
Irons: TT XP95S
Wedges: TT DG S400
Putter: stock SeeMore 37" counter weighted

Be a kick a$$ birthday weekend that's for sure!
 
Would love to be a part of the two day contest. I purchased some brand new M2 irons at a price I couldn't pass up, but they didn't have the graphite shafts I would have preferred. I got steel stiff shafts, but I only paid $400.00 for 4-AW so being fitted up with new shafts would be a dream. I only play a short course here in my own neighborhood, so I don't own a driver, 3W or 5W. But I'm waiting for the M2 line to come down in price. Thanks for the opportunity.

If you can make this work, sign up. If you can't, fix that and then sign up. It's a no brainer.

(I hope someday I am fortunate enough to tee it up again with Nate, Lindsay and Danny.)
 
I so want to be a part of this. I just went to Bertha irons with the Recoil 460 shafts, and I would love to see what the UST shafts would do in my other clubs. Plus, it's always fun to hang with another THP member and crew.

Driver - Ping TFC 189 Reg Flex
3 and 5 woods, Fujikura Fuel Reg Flex
4 and 5 Hybrids - Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara Reg Flex
6-AW - UST Recoil 460 F3
54 wedge - TT gold wedge flex
58 wedge - KBS Tour V wedge flex
putter - ??? what ever steel shaft Seemore installs stock

Thanks THP!
 
Have a wedding to attend.....

Fairway- Stock Aeroburner Matrix speed rulz
Irons- KBS C taper lites
wedges- stock vokey shafts
Putter- Stock Scotty Cameron shaft
 
I've really enjoyed watching these weekends unfold from the sidelines, but really starting to wonder if I need to get my name in the hat as well.

UST has been so awesome to THPers this year.
