THP Experiences
As many have seen over the last few weeks, the THP Events calendar is full of incredible opportunities and if you missed the full schedule, you can find it here. Adding to that list is the greatest shaft event ever created hitting California called The HandCrafted Experience w/ Project X.


Episode 1 of Lab Rats w/ Don Brown

Qualifying
THP Events are held throughout the year and are incredibly unique ways to share a round or weekend with THPers and are filled with equipment, prizes and more. Your ticket to enter these events is the 2017 Albatross Club membership which goes to help a wonderful charity and for more information on that, click here.

#TheHandCraftedExperience
There will be some surprises
The experience will begin about a month before the event where you will get a shaft sent to you from Project X. This is called your baseline shaft and your job will be to test it out and take some notes for a few weeks about what you like and what you would change.

Once the event begins at Project X Headquarters, there would be a tour and then you will sit down with the experts and design your own shaft. Based on the current feedback as well as the performance notes from your baseline shaft, adjustments to flag sizes, material angles and more would be made. You will get to see torque, frequency, tip deflection change as your design gets adjusted. It might sound overwhelming, but trust me when I say with the team in place, this will be an unforgettable experience. You will be designing all of the properties of your shaft with the person that designs all of the Project X shafts that are created. This is the experience even tour players do not get done.

The next day would begin at Project X Headquarters again as you watch your design get hand rolled and put into the oven. Then its off to graphics. Here you will work on design and color options for your completed project.

Looking forward to the chance to get in this one. The last two years have been awesome.
 
Such an awesome event, the shafts created are always amazing.
 
This event is on my birthday. I cannot think of a better birthday present than another opportunity to almost hit Don with an errant hybrid shot. Oh and make a kickass 1/1 shaft is cool too I guess :D

I will be attempting a return trip, I hope that's not frowned upon!!
 
Really looking forward to this one!! Thanks for the opportunity!
 
This is THE event to get into. Can't wait for sign-ups.
