What wedge technique wisdom did RC impart?

*Yes, that's a TM. Don't steal it Callaway.

 

You pitch a strong approach. I hope it sticks!

If it does, I'll sell it now for the cheap price of my own personal Epic trip. Just me, Roger Cleveland, In-and-Out Burger, a couple hand rolled cigars, and not less than $250 per waking hour of swag.

Awww crap! My luck has really run dry with Callaway! Back to my cubicle I guess.

Not sure if I'm more jealous about the chance to try out all that new gear, the proximity to In-N-Out (Double Double, Animal Style, Spicy FTW), or the fact that you're outside hitting balls and I shoveled a foot of snow over a 24 hour period yesterday/today. The answer is "D" - All of the above. Congrats, and have fun, guys!

 

I know everyone is eager for updates, but I'm guessing we won't get to hear too much in-depth info until after it's all done and everyone gets home.

Phil only grips?!

So you're telling me you'd prefer to learn from Roger Cleveland over CallawayLefty?

Please stop interrupting the burger review talk! :taunt:

 

Tensei Blue is a great shaft! Sounds like a nice bag.

They're left handed.

Yes, a lot of guys have special grips made by Lamkin or Golf Pride. Who knows what they are but usually it has to do with the rib placement. They can get the ribs put in a little left or right of center down the back.

would have made money on guessing what shafts you were fitted to... (hybrid being the exception).

This resembles the fundamentals of insider trading. Coincidence?

What really struck me was how happy they were to see us. It was genuine. These folks are passionate about golf and their jobs at Callaway.

 

They are treating us very well, and I don't believe it is to garner are favor. It's just who they are. I was speaking with one of the gentlemen this evening about this, and he said it is part of the corporate culture.

 

I don't know how to post photos as I am going through Safari, as I cannot access this thread through the app.

 

I sucked in the long drive competition. :-)

 

When I left Boston it was 14 degrees, when I landed in San Diego it was in the mid-60s. After lunch I spent some time in the whirlpool (which is outdoors). It felt really great after sitting on a plane for 7 hours...6.5 hour flight time.

 

You already saw photos of the swag (which I wanted to share with you), and I was a bit overwhelmed. This is beyond my wildest dreams and I am very humbled and grateful that I was selected. This is also the first golf trip I have ever been on...and it's a doozy.

 

Nick Arthur who did my putter fitting was very thorough. And I was playing the wrong putter. They will do some tweaking...38 inches, a couple of degrees flat. I forgot the name of the putter. Oy vey.

 

The ESPC (Eli Callaway Performance Center), is a state of the art fitting, testing complex that is quite breathtaking in its scope and thoroughness.

 

Tomorrow we have are fittings. The lightest clubs I ever owned had a swing weight of E3, so I will be curious to see what the good folks at Callaway come up with.

 

Thanks for "listening", and my apologies for no pictures. I will be able to provide them when I get home.

 

No way you sucked in the LD. I'm sure you just weren't warmed up yet!

 

Glad you're on the trip! Looks like an awesome time. Enjoy it!

 

Thank you DW! :-)

They were told by callaway that they can't use the names of the new not released products so it will be new or 2017 when they write reviews or what not.
