The excitement should already be flowing through anyone with a pulse haha! This place is immaculate, and throw in a chance to work with the man the myth Danny from UST
haha I mean I’m still pretty excited about the first one too
but super happy to see signups for #2
Such a beautiful hole
Going to be a fun one. Great course, good food and great equipment
I have no doubt about any of that! If anyone does, they aren’t paying attention.
Get the T-Ravs ready.
Wow! Just absolute beauty!
cant wait to follow the first part of this series!
Ohhhhh
From what I’ve demoed, graphite (and the vibration dampening) will definitely help my elbows. Hopefully your hands as well. I’ve jumped down the rabbit hole of graphite shafts with everyone on here. The UST Recoils and Protos were definitely near the top of the list.
What if it were a driver fitting?
I would love a driver fitting with a shaft guru. I have dabbled in driver fitting so far but frankly seem to be in a decent fit with my Callaway Mavrik with Aldila Rogue white. I haven’t gone for a full fitting on the driver front.
I would be interested in a shaft with some of the stability of the Steelfiber but more feel. I have tried the standard Recoil 95 and found them a bit loose in the tip. I found the Steelfiber 95 to be very accurate but a bit dead and probably the stiff flex was a bit too much for me.
I’d be pretty darn excited no matter what the fitting was for
I thought Steelfiber was like swinging a 2×4. The Recoil Proto 110s were a solid option for me. This is off-brand from the thread topic, but the MMT 105’s were awesome. Little softer in the tip than the 110’s but more stable than the 95s. That could be an option. Accra has a 100g shaft that might work as an in between as well.
It is hard to find the Protos to just test out.
Then Danny is gonna be like yo I got nothin for you. We’re just gonna work on hitting it straight
I have been fit for everything except woods, wedges and putter! So, finding the precise exact shaft/head combination – would be extremely pleasing. I did play and played it well back in the day the MP-001 driver (only one I ever saw), had the then new NV 65 S shaft – it was money, kind of sad that I got rid of that club. Time to visit ebay (ha).
A lot of fitters near me had the Recoils but not Protos. Most will order it for you to demo, I believe. True Spec and Golf Tec were both able to order it, wound up going to Golf Tec to try it
Good luck to all entrants and have a ton of fun !!
Sucks you don’t get to play with the guys on the first one. I was just thinking about this from an outside perspective on how you perceive these events. To run a business where you get to add so much joy to other’s lives and actually see it in person throughout the year, year after year has to be pretty cool!
Haha, thank you very much. It is very very cool. There is nothing better than watching people get to experience something that is literally impossible to experience anywhere else. Sense of pride, but also quite humbling.
You should be very proud of what and where you have taken THP. Non of us no how much work you all put into these experiences. Thanks for these opportunities
