It Said Equipment What Does That Mean

To answer the question I have been asked a few times, yes, the drivers for this event will drop tomorrow and then can be freely talked about and will bring a lot of gains to Shaft Up

Yeah… they are really really good. Can’t imagine getting one of those heads on a shaft that is fitted by Danny. Absolute bombs all over Ballyhack. I’m pretty close to my set up now w/ the Proto and it’s fantastic.

Dates work! Yes! Can’t wait for sign ups!
Man how I wish I could sign up for this. 9 year old summer baseball is going to cramp my golf game. 🤣
Yes!!! One of my students on the golf team calls Ballyhack the 🐐course. I think it is a goated place.
The dates work really well! Looking forward to entering and maybe finally getting a chance to meet [USER=47008]@DannyLe[/USER]
Figure out a strategy to annoy the CFB board with Hook Em propaganda! And maybe just maybe straighten out my pushes with Powercore
Some good holes for driver at ballyhack
Love Ballyhack and Shaftup’s. I won’t be able to put my name in for this one, but I look forward to see who is lucky enough to get picked or win their way into this with the contest
Hopefuls definitely want to take in the reading of the Callaway driver that just dropped today.
Big fan of the Shaft Up Experiences and of Ballyhack. Looking forward to sign ups.
Dammit. My theatre just added a summer show that will be having a 1 day all day tech/load in right in the middle of this.
I need a new career.
As someone who has tried a new driver out at Ballyhack I can say that’s definitely a fun place to jump into a new driver lol. Especially if you are feeling froggy on the drivable par 4.
Damn, that’s one hell of an opportunity!
I know signups are a bit away for this one, but Post Drive does have a chance for it.
This one has definitely been on my mind. Gotta pump up those post numbers 👍
Ballyhack would be an incredible place to test the new driver/shaft combo!
Can’t think of a better place to launch tee shots with a new driver than Ballyhack 🔥
Shaft Up with UST MAMIYA is always an awesome event. Find a way to make it work with your schedule and sign up to let the magician put together the ultimate driver combo for you.
I’m in for trying it get in there again!

Can confirm, it’s an amazing place for it. And so many driver holes on the course too!
The dates on Shaft Up #2 are perfect because I will be off for the summer from teaching! Hoping to get to my first experience!
