LIVE UPDATES: The $5000 TaylorMade SLDR Guarantee Event! Before/After Results Added!

[rbilramz]

Such a great giveaway, have fun guys. I was one of the lucky few for the original SLDR experience and it was awesome. Like or dislike TM, they sure know how to treat a group.

Plus, my SLDR is still locked in the bag!

[browne11]

Can anyone there ask if they plan on making a 14 degree left handed sldr? Thanks guys and have fun.

Here are the contents of the Dallas goodie bag. Hat, pullover, glove, a dozen tour preferred x and a personalized and signed note from Tom Kroll. In the brief time I have known him, Tom has expanded my knowledge of TM beyond any expectations I could've had. His conversations have been open, frank and full of laughs. While the meat of this trip occurs over the next 2 days, having Tom as the group raconteur has gotten this trip off to a great start. We had in depth discussions about a golf balls ballistic optimal and current market conditions among other things. I was most surprised at his 25(?) year journey through the ranks of TM starting on the production line rising to his position of VP of Global Marketing (I think that's it). And he played on the Nike Tour for a few years in the middle of it. More to come. Can't wait to see what our fitter Ryan has in store for us tomorrow. Goodnight.

Great dinner and talk over some brews. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Very refreshing that Tom and the TM crew encouraged us to ask hard questions and were happy to answer anything we wanted to learn about. Just a bunch of golf nuts talking golf, playing golf.

Ditto, except my pullover is blue, or green, or blue-green. If tonight is the highlight (which I seriously doubt-#MINItomorrow), I'm happy.

Man iPhone sucks at internet. I'm ready for a ride in the GT-R...

[jongalt55]

You've all seen the goodie bags. Looks standard across all locations. Great dinner with the tm guys and the other wrxers at the Carlsbad site. Great group of guys. Highlights included:

1). Tour preferred wedges in hand. They look good.
2). Sldr mini driver in hand. Good size, liking the silver/black color scheme.
3). Possibility that future iron product will have c-taper light as a stock offering.

Have pics of the mini and wedges--will upload later. Looking forward to tomorrow.

A whole heap of great food accompanied by rum Painkiller #4's followed by smooth stogies overlooking the hotel pond made for a pretty good day overall! Arrived back to the room to find this...[attachment=2157945:ImageUploadedByGolfWRX Mobile1396589041.106041.jpg]

Tomorrow should be interesting!

Kosta, are some of the guys staying at the same hotel we did? I can't remember who Abby was - was it the waitress that was serving us near the end of that night? The brunette in good shape?

Can't wait to see the results tomorrow! Have fun guys.

[tembolo1284]

Is it time to hit the SLDR yet?

[MaydayGSXR]

Swung what you brung, gents! Put 'em to the test TM puts on a good show and can take a few punches, they'll dish it back out à la 5 star treatment

Enjoy the trip and hit 'em long!

[tembolo1284]

What are the odds I can get sirloin and bacon for breakfast?

[/quote]yup to all.

[Ed Settle]

Alright, gentlemen!! Off to a great start! Food, beverage and great stories. And goody bags! TaylorMade is always a good host.

Today is the day. Take your phone, take your notebooks and put the SLDR to the test. You are there as representatives of the skeptics. Represent them well! Answer their questions and yours. Have fun and hit some long, high, low spin bombs!

The Reynolds group has myself and another lefty (Paranorml) and yes Tom Fisher informed us at dinner that he did bring along some lefty 14* heads for us if we end up being in that range

Great picture Zak. Oh how I miss it there I hope the weather holds out for you guys. Hit'em long!!

[Oaks]

Guys have a blast - the best thing for me was actually getting on the LM and seeing my data and how a few minor (or major) tweaks can lower spin...

Also, for those of us who who have been lucky enough to have been on these trips - who are the TM reps at each location.

There is a Fish at Reynolds... Great guy - say hi for me.
Tom Kroll is at Dallas... Awesome Nike Tour Stories...

IMO, i see the mini as a 1 season fad driver.
[/quote]

Do you consider the Callaway Deep series a mini driver? Or just the Phrankenwood/SLDR Mini? I know my 3Deep isn't leaving the bag anytime soon, but I don't know if I would want anything bigger
