It’s the final trip of the THP Event series called Shaft Up with UST Mamiya in 2021. For those that have missed the previous years, Shaft Up is a series of 3 events on the THP Forum where lucky winners win a full fitting, golf at amazing course, new equipment and oh yeah, it is all 100% free including airfare. This year trip 3 is being held at the iconic Whistling Straits and two lucky THPers are heading there next week to play.
Before getting ahead of ourselves however, Shaft Up is coming and just because you will not be at Whistling Straits 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 St. Louis to get fit by into the new Mizuno ST-X or ST-Z driver along with a premium UST Mamiya Shaft. Then they will be playing as a twosome against Danny and myself. Those forum members are @mancest and @BuckNasty.

kind of an interesting setup at the top, but gapping wise it has worked out well, although I don’t think I pulled the 4W out of the bag once the entire weekend. Honestly think I need to find a UST Shaft that might help me out there, but I could say that about a few clubs in the bag.
So I think this is the locker room they will be using:

Very cool place and I can imagine some discussions happening in the locker room and in the bar it is next too.
Sunday…. different story. Back wasn’t perfect and my distances were down a few yards throughout the bag but: Did not miss one driver left, no penalty strokes off the tee and despite blading a wedge into a hazard from 100 yards and making a double I shot my course index.
Get the back at least decent, look out. This thing is going to be a weapon for me.
That’s awesome. I know that is the miss you fight and we saw you darn dialed in off the tee
Yeah, it was similar to how I hit it at Whistling. When I was swinging well (like most of the day at the straits) it went long and pretty straight with a slight cut, when I missed I flared it out to the right. Much more playable than a low hook that starts left and just keeps going left.
Not quite the bathroom pics I was hoping for, but this will do.
Like Mick Jagger said, you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need…..
Plus it looks cool as hell.
It gets announced on Friday. Lots of fun stuff going on with announcements.
Please send @GolferGal a PM with your full name and shipping address.
Yes you did, but that always works out when you side with buck nasty mancest. Congrats on the win and hope you enjoy your new driver as much as @BuckNasty and I are.
Oh I don’t think I’ll get those sexy drivers you two got but I am excited about those goodies!
So pleased with this and being able to trust that I won’t hook one has been huge. For how light it is, the helium is so dang stable.
I came back from vacation to a sweet package that included a LIN-Q Gunmetal Shaft.
After having to order and wait for a ping adapter I was finally able to cut it down and put a grip on. I’m VERY excited to use it.
I wanted to say thank you guys at THP for sending it over.
