In the blue corner, defending the "loft up" campaign, we have kejoal11! And in the red corner, defending the honor of Callaway until his death, OUZU Power!

Ease up, fellas. This is another great opportunity for some WRXers to get a tour-level fitting and check out the latest an OEM has to offer.
[/quote]

is this the same OUZU who [u]applied[/u] to go on this TM trip?

hold on, let me check his avatar...

YUP.
[/quote]grow up.. And don't send me and apology later please.
[/quote]

FWIW, wasn't this trip suposed to be for the "doubters", and not the TM Fanboys? Seems like OUZU would have been what it was supposed to be about.

A little off topic but this conversation made me think of something. It would be awesome if WRX could get all the major OEM companies to come to a single location at the beginning of the season and bring the best they have and let some members test them out mono a mono. It sounds like a really fun friendly competition.

Glad to see everyone is having a great time. Numbers dont lie. I was skeptical about sldr when we went to #insidetmag but my doubts were soon laid to rest. LOFTUP!!

Zach are you having to redo your mancave to make space for all the new toys your getting? Lol
[/quote]I dont see much LOFTUP happening here. Some are getting great gains vs their older driver. But still waiting on the 14* drivers to make the difference.
[/quote]

Ouzo I speak from my experiences at #insidetmag and what how I benefitted from lofting up. I went up 2 degrees and I am bombing the ball. If your ever in san diego let me know and I can show you with either my 10.5 or 14* sldr how much loft helps.
[/quote]Thats fine. How many members on the trip fitted so far? How many lofted up into the 14*? Not debating the results. I'm actually trying to figure out where the marketing 17* Loft up in theory and on paper gets translated to real numbers.
[/quote]

Just accept the thread for the spirit of what it is. Stop trying to find holes in it.... It's a cool idea, members are hitting it further and getting paid.
[/quote]it is. And I want them to cash in big time. So I agree.

I'll save the loft up discussion for another thread.
[/quote]

Yeah man. Come on. Imagine if this was in your callawrx thread. Don't be like that here. Let the trip winners enjoy the experience.

I just wonder how much of it is due to the SLDR head and how much of it is shaft, loft, length of shaft, etc. Someone should have brought the 9015 D!

Haha I love how they are handing over the cash. Do they have to claim this on their taxes?
[/quote]
Did you get a 1099 after your Callaway trip and all of your free swag? Enough...

Ouzo one more thing if u even loft up one degree that considered lofting up. I didnt know tha lofting up had to be a 14* driver. Did I miss something?
[/quote]hhmm so 1 or even 0.5* falls within the LOFTUP campaign? Sure OK.

Keep it coming guys.
[/quote]

Higher loft is higher loft regardless. I fail to understand how u dont get that. It is what it is. Im not attacking you personally not my MO but it seems like every time TM does something with wrx u always seem to have negative comments or try to find a way to find holes and discredit the thread. Can u just be happy for what they do for the wrx nation?

On a happier note...

Q has Temb sent you any photos of him trying to eat Musceli out of the Players Championship trophy yet?

I'm literally sitting here eating popcorn while this cat fight unfolds. Too bad I'm at work and can't also be enjoying a beer.

On the actual topic, I'm looking forward to seeing the PDF of all the results later, as well as seeing some of the feedback from the participants.

I agree with you 100%. We'd have to get the shaft OEMs in there too and then draw partners. Partner up an OEM with a shaft OEM and let the fun begin!

Taylormade is a marketing genius. There is no telling how many drivers they are going to sell after everyone sees the Trackman numbers that are being posted.

Have fun guys.

Love the name plates at sawgrass! Range looks great at Reynolds. I'll be there next week for vacation and I can't wait!
[/quote]
Reynolds is amazing! I loved it! The grounds are amazing too. I went for a walk and could just smell the Georgia pine. Ahhhh!
[/quote]

Yep, great memories there for sure!

Appreciate the hard work you guys are doing on site. The amount of content being sent real time is great.

[kejoal11]

Sorry fellas. Not trying to be negative. I just dont get how people always want to post negative stuff because they dont like certain oem's. Cant we just be happy for those selected and share in their moment? Thats all I am trying to get at. Cash out fellas. Enjoy your moment. LOFT UP BABY!!!

Great stuff guys. The whole thread talks to the value of a great fitting (no matter which manufacturer you choose) and also the value of technology. One thing I'm interested in seeing as the day progresses is the difference between testing sites. Seems calm so far but if there's a windy site I'm curious to see how the higher launch compares to the lower launch in terms of total distance and dispersion.

And GREAT to see a few lefties in the mix!!

[dikaia22]

Do we get to see numbers from HipCheck, Zak, Ben, and Zach also?

[OUZO Power]

Yea what about the team leaders? Rob, Zak...?

[deck]

I want the numbers all in one place like someone mentioned before me, after you get done golfing of course


BUT what I really want is who was the big winner?!!!!!!

I need a small loan

Seems the lighter shaft is a little harder to control, smash factor decreased with the SLDR. Did he try the 6x3 white tie?
