It’s the first trip of the THP Event series called Shaft Up with UST Mamiya in 2024. For those that have missed the previous years, Shaft Up is a series of 3 events on the THP Forum where lucky forum members win a full fitting, golf at amazing course, new equipment and oh yeah, it is all 100% free including airfare. This year trip 1 is being held at the beautiful Victoria National Golf Club and it is going to be an amazing follow.

Shaft Up #1 is coming next week and just because you will not be at Victoria National with Danny Le from UST Mamiya, and myself, does not mean you cannot win an amazing prize.
How to Enter
Two THP Forum Members are heading to Indiana to get fit by into the new Cobra Darkspeed driver along with a premium UST Mamiya Shaft. Then they will be playing as a twosome against Danny and myself. Those forum members are @Nappy and @jayronmillz10
Step 1: Post below and include the following information.
Who will win the match? To make things even, we will be giving up 9 strokes in match play.
What is your current driver?
What shaft is in your current driver?
What is your favorite UST Mamiya driver shaft?
Step 2: Follow along with this Live Update Thread and see if you were right and if you are the lucky winner. The updates will kick off below beginning with travel.
The Prize
We have a killer THP Prize Pack filled with amazing goodies going out to the lucky winner of the contest! This might even have a brand new club head in it.
If you like our weekly contests, make sure you share them across the social media platforms below and check back each day for more new exclusive THP content.
Entries must be submitted by Monday April 1st at 11:59pm ET. The winner will be chosen randomly from those that guessed right. Please remember only one entry per person.

Those are some serious gains [USER=77566]@jayronmillz10[/USER] :eek::eek: what is your swing speed?

Swing speed is typical around 108-110mph

its either going to be Ohio (i think already taken) or Jay Jay Ron

Is Ohio Ron taken? Or Winn Ohio?
[QUOTE=”Muchmore, post: 12262928, member: 56094″]
But is it? You get a brand new weapon for this season that will remind you of it every time you pull it out of the bag! And if you talk about the shafts and talk golf and stay present, maybe you go back. And you’ll have a much more vested interest in the next Shaft Ups as well. It’s never fully over!
[/QUOTE]
AssCapMore is right. I still talk about the Grandaddy quite frequently or get asked about it.
Now I get another ridiculous event to talk about. The guys from the firehouse keep asking me if I’m going to outdrive them now. Not yet, but I’m thinking fairly soon I will.
And I get all year to review and talk about it this club….and possibly another event? That’s pretty freaking sweet.

It makes sense.
Started off with a flurry only to fall flat down the stretch as the weather got more gray and gross.
Sounds awful familiar.

Just booked my simulator time at the office tomorrow.
Also my daughter spent 20 full minutes hitting golf balls yesterday and was getting so excited about it. And yes she has a better swing than me. Going to hit the driving range with her Wednesday night and hopefully bring the MLM2Pro along for some info.
I thought my league started this week, but evidently Shaft Up ruined my brain and it’s not until next week. So instead hoping we can get out with the FD crew Friday afternoon and I’ll have all kinds of thoughts.
I can’t wait to talk about this club and this shaft.

Who are you people with speeds like that. Crazy.
Need hybrid is in the house so it’s gives me a chance to put this headcover to good use. ?
[ATTACH type=”full”]9257829[/ATTACH]
When I was at the pro shop at Victoria National, I asked a young lady there if they had the No Slow Play putter headcovers. She said no but they hoped to get more in soon. She then proceeded to help me find other clothing and trinkets that hurt my credit card. :ROFLMAO:
When I went back in later after our round she told me she had checked with the company and they’d have them in a few days. If I wanted she’d take my name/number and let me know when they were in. It was one of the things I really wanted so I took her up on the offer. I was thankful that she even cared enough to seek me out afterwards and ask.
I didn’t hear anything for a couple weeks and then on Tuesday she called, said they were in and she had one reserved for me. Today it’s here!!. So I don’t know if Carson (or anyone else from VN) is on the forum but thank you so much! It’s perfect. The customer service went above and beyond. Just another way that Dormie really shows how much they get it.

That’s awesome man! There service there was top notch!!
For any of you that followed this event and saw the results that I had with my fitting and that I was fit into a L flex but actually fit me perfectly and gained me 30 yards. This podcast and interview that [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] I thought touched more deeply on exactly what [USER=47008]@DannyLe[/USER] did with me talking about weight and timing more than shaft flex. Check it out if you haven’t listened to it yet!

If I remember right Ballyhack has some really cool ones as well. I seem to recall that from a previous event I followed there. It does look like you can buy some stuff online now from these shops, so maybe eventually they’ll put the Turtle Cover on there.

My problem is I buy these fancy headcovers from nice courses and then I get scared to use them in case they get dirty or start to fray.
In short, I’m an idiot.
