Gooooood morning Ft. Worth

Done in my best Robin Williams imitating Adrian Cronehour voice
 
What are you guys most interested in learning?
 
Have an awesome time! Danny and Lindsay are the absolute best.
 
Enjoy the weekend fellas
 
Have a great time and soak up the immense knowledge guys!
 
Have a blast guys!
 
have a great time this morning guys!!
 
Its game day. Been an interesting trip so far but that isn't going to stop me from having a blast today. Supposedly everything is bigger in Texas. Excitement level is off the chain and let's see if we can't go big today with knowledge bombs and coverage.

I think I'm most interested in learning how a lighter shaft can have the same or better stability as a heavier shaft especially since I've games heavier shafts to help my tempo

I want to know how this is possible as well. Since going to the helium shaft I won, I've been bombing it, when I've been using heavier shafts in the past.

Everything, there are so many question rolling around in my head about how construction techniques and materials can so drastically change how a shaft feels.

Have a blast gents!
 
Do either of you have reservations about going to graphite?
Other than a weight difference.

EMART: I know how much you've the shafts in the top of the bag. What numbers are you looking to improve on? Spin, loft, ball speed?

Uzumati:

What is it in the manufacturing and materials process that you find most interesting. Based on the video segments here on THP, is there anything that you want Danny and the team to identify for further clarification?
 
Not a one T2 best thing I ever did for tendinitis.

Probably general terms like bend point tip stiffness so I know what to look for in a shaft to fit my swing
 
Have a blast today gents!!!

I'm really interested to see what you're put into - especially as someone else who plays the AMTs. I put them in my bag and they've done wonders, but I keep looking to graphite for the vibration damping/wear and tear aspect.
 
looking forward to following along with this today, should be some great stuff.
 
Good morning guys,enjoy the experience

Ball speed mostly. Spin is another one that I'm interested to see what happens with the shafts. I'm usually in the 2200-2700 range where I see my better results.

Me too. The wear/tear is something I'm considering for a swap too
 
Found it!

Have fun guys, get your learn on!

Emart: After your fitting what perception or knowledge has been changed for you after attending the event/going through the fitting with Danny?

Uzumati: If you've been fit before, how was this fitting different from previous fittings for you? If not, what is the coolest thing you've learned today?
