The greatest amateur event ever created!
The 2023 Grandaddy is here. Three plus 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 two 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 Paradym Driver of your choice. Follow along to every single part of the 2023 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 Callaway Paradym Driver head you would like to win to get more distance off the tee.
If you are unsure of which model fits you best, check out their website here.
It is that easy, but do not forget, this is the greatest follow 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.

Probably missing a few others, but I’ve seen you guys in the Paradym driver thread, raving about how good that lineup is. How are you feeling about getting fit for something better, and did you think that was possible after how good the Paradymn has been?
PS…very jealous of you guys!
[/QUOTE]
I’ve been playing Callaway drivers regularly over the last 5 or 6 years—will usually upgrade to the newest model when it comes out. And I see a modest improvement each time with forgiveness, distance, whatever it may be.
The Paradym TD has been above and beyond better for me than any other I’ve played and it’s been a significant improvement for me in terms of ball speed and spin retention on mishits. It is a bomber as well. With that being said, based on what little I have heard, that I will be very happy with what is next and am excited for that part of the fitting.
