The greatest amateur event ever created!
The 2022 Grandaddy is here. 3+ days of action coming your way and this thread will serve as host for everything that takes place. If the participants see it (and can share it), it will be here. Watch and hear from them as they go through their fittings, tour Callaway HQ and meet everybody behind the brand.
Then it is off to the exclusive Hideaway in Palm Desert for 2 days of golf competition between the THP Forum members and the marketing team of Callaway Golf. Just because you are not there, does not mean you cannot be part of the action and win a brand new Callaway Rogue ST Driver of your choice. Follow along to every single part of the 2022 Grandaddy of Em All, right here.

HOW TO ENTER
The contest is simple, before the golf kicks off, jump in and tell us these two things. First, who will win the Grandaddy of Em All? Team Callaway or Team THP? Then, in the same comment below, tell us which Rogue ST Driver head you would like to win to get more distance off the tee.
It is that easy, but do not forget, this is the greatest thread for golfers who love equipment, as TONS of information will be shared and you can even get your questions answered live as it all unfolds. The Live Portion of all of this will kick off Sunday and Monday with travel for the participants and then Monday evening, get ready for wall to wall action of everything they see.

That was so much fun!!! I don’t have any pics or video….I blame all the blueberry lemonades for forgetting to get pics ?
Figure this is a good place to update some results. I took a screen grab of my arcoss data after coming back from SoCal so I have my stats of the clubs before Paradym. Here is what they shifted to in regards to smart distance
Driver: Old – Callaway Epic Max LS 10.5* – 233 yards, New – Paradym (core) 12* – 256 yards
FW/Hyb: Old – TM Sim 2 3+ (16.5*) – 223 yards, New – Paradym X HYBRID 3H (18* +2) – 228 yards
Old – Callaway Rogue ST Max 7W (21*) – 196 yards, New – Paradym X HYBRID 4H (21* +2) – 200 yards
Old – Callaway Apex 5H (24*) – 194 yards, New – NA
Irons: Old TM P770
5I (25.5*) – 172
6I (29*) – 162
7I (33*) – 156
8I (37*) – 144
9I (41.5*) – 132
PW (46*) – 120
AW (51*) – 106
Irons: New Paradym
5I (23*) – 180
6I (26*) – 175
7I (29*) – 171
8I (33*) – 154
9I (37*) – 143
PW (42*) – 131
AW (47*) – 114
GW (52*) – 101
Still have a lot more data to pull from for the old especially on irons, but the bag is settling in nicely. Still only have 6 shots for 5I in the new set, and not too many more than that with the 6I, so that bunch there isn’t quite accurate. I feel like 5I is 190 ish, 6I is 180 ish, 7I is 170, 8I is 158 or so, 9I 145, PW 134, AW – 124, GW 114 on full swings.
Will update as I get more data, but very pleased with this set up currently. Only thought is maybe testing a FW to see if I can get a little more out of that longer hybrid spot (like a 235 total) then try to have 1 hybrid at 210-215 then hopefully stretch 5I to more of a 195-200 club with 6I at 185. That would IDEAL. But… that is more on me than the clubs.

Thanks, Legacy Cap!. Just a heads up to the ’23 team, keep your score cards, name print outs on the carts and grab an extra scorecard. I found myself thinking of a bunch of things I would like to have done, but didn’t have the goods!!

Already jotted those things down after seeing them in your shadow box.

It is much easier when Callaway really did a nice job with the Paradym line. Not a club in the bag that I don’t see talking about and playing with for multiple years.
Next Sunday at the Swag event it will be fun to show off the clubs and talk about them with the people I play with.

Definitely not.
Here are the easiest paths
1. Be active on the THP Forum
2. Follow live update threads
3. Talk about equipment, ask questions, etc.
4. Watch/listen to WGP
