The Live Update thread for the 2021 Project X Experience with Mizuno is here.
A couple of months ago we held a contest where the lucky winner was given an all expenses paid trip to GA and while there he will visit the Mizuno Production Facility in Braselton, GA get fit for a new custom Project X driver shaft and play golf at the beautiful Chateau Elan. Today that event kicks off.
You will be able to follow along with the entire THP Experience live below. Questions will get answered in the ask us anything portion of the week, golf will be played and everybody will have a front row seat. This lucky THP forum member is about to have a few memorable days and the updates will be coming fast and furious.
If you have Project X shaft questions or Mizuno equipment questions or anything else at all, drop them below and they will get answered over the next few days. Follow along both here and on our Instagram Stories for behind the scenes looks and course pictures.
We have a jam packed itinerary over the next few days that you will not want to miss.

I mean, we could ask @thewilderside how it was.
I love all of this!
Did you also try the Evenflow LX? I assume the red you mentioned was the MX?
Okay.
Hey @thewilderside… How was Mizuno?
It was a long time coming. Clear winner

Next up the shaft end is sanded down and the grip applied using a laser system. You’ll notice small notches at the top and bottom of your grip that are aligned to the laser line.

Then the swing weight is verified and adjusted as needed.

Then the adhesive is applied to the shaft end and the head is attached using something called Hardlock(?), unique to Mizuno, in a very specific amount.

A mark is then placed on the head and shaft and it’s pressure tested to ensure it doesn’t move. The machine applies the pressure and then it’s check to make sure there’s still the one mark.

They then laser engrave the order number on each club. This allows for easy replacement and access to the specs on that order.

They’re then boxed up and head to their excited new owner

It was very eye opening to me just how many people and checks are involved in the building process.
Yes it was.
Great compliment to a nice steak!
This may be the best single golf club building post ever! Awesome write up. Killing it big guy.
Dude! Well done on the pics and the info! That’s freaking incredible and I feel like I was right there with ya!
Everything you can imagine and more. In addition to the golf equipment they also have all their other lines there as well. It was really impressive how well organized it was as well. Everything had It’s specific spot.
Such a surreal experience walking through there today I bet!
Were you as infatuated with the conveyer belt/slide up above as I was when I took the tour a few years ago?
I don’t think I could have chosen a better meal!
Now that is a dinner!!!
This is so amazingly good. Incredible plant.
Such a freaking cool experience! Once in a lifetime!!!
Such a cool experience and great updates today.
Yes and this is a good reminder. We were also all fascinated by the automatic box builder and box strapper ? I have a video but I’ll have to try to upload from computer lol
OMG I forgot about that thing. I want that so badly!
Video! Yes please!
NEED. You Need it haha
I really do!
Probably a bit more accurate than mine but I’ve got so much stuff in my head after today that I probably mixed something up ?
It will take a week or so for the brain to digest it all. Just keep smiling.
Awesome day, man. We’re all happy for you and appreciate being able to follow along. Sleep well.
Fantastic day man! Well done!
Awesome day!! Thanks for taking us all along!!
That facility was so cool to see. It’s amazing too see how a product like this is mass produced. Very mind blowing.
Thanks to @Vosh68 and @+7 KPTT for providing this experience and giving their time to THP.
thanks to @JB and @GolferGal for continuing to bring great new experiences for us THP’ers to enjoy and follow. This one was great
Well said. +1
Thank you for this post (and all the others) it was simply amazing. That must have been such an awesome and unique experience to be able to see this.
I wouldn’t recommend that, yes I’m tall but my basketball game and golf game are about equal….which is to say pretty hit or miss ?
