[Lov]

Thank you for what appears to be a once in a lifetime opportunity!

• ​Current USGA handicap 6.9 (5 rounds per week)
  
• What are your current irons and shafts (be specific) Taylormade PSI 4-A, 1/2" long, KBS Tour X, 2* up. Was just looking into getting new irons as I saw this post go up.
  
• Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? Yes, Golfmart in South San Francisco about 1.5 years ago. My index has dropped by about 6 shots since I got fitted and I know my swing path has materially changed since that time.
  
• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf. I've loved TMAG's clubs for a long time, and have always wanted to check out the Kingdom. I've played their clubs/balls/soft goods almost exclusively for about 5 years now (most of the time all 14), and feel like I have a strong understanding of the product they offer. I rarely sign up for these sorts of opportunities, but the Kingdom has been very high on my list of golf experiences for some time. I am very privileged to play a lot of golf and know that I'd use these clubs all the time rather than have them sit in closet for months on end.

I am already using a M2 Driver and 3 wood as well as a Tour DJ putter. I have been holding off on new irons as I would like to go thru a tour level fitting before making such a big decision. This opportunity would be exactly what I am looking for to get into the new P700 line.

• What are your current Irons and Shafts: 4-PW; Mizuno JPX 900 Forged, 2* Up, with KBS Tour 120 (S) shafts. Standard length, & lofts. Golfpride MCC + 4 Grips.

• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf? I own and operate a small business (www.flaghunting.com) that creates yardage books/scorecards for everyday golfers. I'm obsessed with yardages and knowing your gap and distances between clubs can honestly take several shots off of your scores which enhances the experience for all involved. If given this exclusive opportunity I would love to learn and ask questions from some of the best in the industry and share my experiences through my social channels as well as my website. I'm a bit of a gear snob and I'd be a kid in a candy store being able to experience The Kingdom. Thanks for the opportunity!

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf- I was fitted for irons at the TMPL it was awesome. This is the Kingdom for God's sake. Who wouldn't want this chance?

[trentjo]

Current Handicap: 18

Current irons and shafts: TaylorMade Rocketbladez 6-PW w/ RocketFuel 85g R-flex shafts

Fitting: No, I have never been fitted for a set of irons before

Why?: Never having gone through a full-fledged fitting, and hearing about the obvious benefits and confidence that knowing your clubs are perfect for your swing has always been super intriguing to me. I'd love the opportunity to go out to CA, talk with all of the pros who really know what they're doing about their club design and how what they're making can fit my swing and help make me better and more confident moving forward. Would be a huge bucket-list item, for sure. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Kahuna_44]

Current handicap 5.5

Current irons/shafts. Srixon 965s 4-pw. With dynamic gold x-100 shafts

Fit for current irons. No not fit for current irons

Why? I have never been through a full iron fitting and gapping and I think that if I had the opportunity to be properly fit I could bring my handicap down and tighten my dispersion on approach shots. Additionally I feel the Taylormade 700 series's of irons are taking steps in the right direction for the Taylormade brand in terms of its perception amongst serious golfers.

[mreckel]

• ​Current USGA handicap - 2.6
  
• What are your current irons and shafts (be specific) - Mizuno MP-62 3-PW - 2* upright, +1/2" SG S300
  
• Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? - Yes, at Columbus Country Club in 2009
  
• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf - I've always shied away from Taylormade products. I used to think the R-series woods felt "dead" when I hit them, though they always performed well. Recently, I've had LOTS of friends raving about their TM products, so I'd love to see what all the hype is about. I've been a Mizuno player since the MP-33's in high school, so I'd be anxious to see how the newest technology stacks up against my old trusty set.

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when?

 

I did not get fitted, purchased these used

 

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf

 

I've never been fit for irons, I tend to purchase(and go through) slightly used sets of irons. I'm trying like hell to lower my handicap, and would love to get custom fit with some new irons and see if they really make a difference

[warnershawn]

Current handicap 3

Current irons 712 ap2 with project x 6.5

I have never had the opportunity to be fit

I would love the opportunity to go to the kingdom and get fitted. I have never had the chance to see what is best for my game and am in need of a new set of irons. With a couple little ones at home this is probably the best way to get what is right for my game. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

[umassgolfer]

• Current USGA handicap: 8.7
  
• What are your current irons and shafts (be specific): R7 TP 4-P with DG S300
  
• Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? No
  
• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf: My current irons are 10 years old and were bought second-hand. Not sure whether some of the poor shots I hit are due to club specs or just my swings, and don't have the time/resources to really find out. Also, I would like to donate my current irons to a junior golf program if I am lucky enough to receive new ones.
  

[duckguy]

1. Current USGA Handicap: +2.7

2. Current Irons: Ping Iblades 4-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT S400. Standard length, loft and lie.

3. I was not fit for my current irons. Just an impulse buy and have been standard lie in the past, so I went with it!

4. I would love to attend this as I am a huge club collector or as people on GolfWRX say, a club ho. I have never had a real fitting with professionals as I am from Oregon and there are just not many places to go with a trackman. Fiddlers Green is where I go in my area and they have an old flightscope that doesn't get numbers that are even close to realistic, and you hit into a 20 mile per hour head wind. I am a +2.7 and feel like with a proper fitting I could really take my game to the next level! I have really never played Taylormade, clubs but recently purchased a 2017 M2 fairway wood and it is already my favorite club in my bag!

 

Thank you for the opportunity and Go Ducks!

[mlnny12]

Handicap is 10

I play Nike vr pro blades in project x 6.5 shafts I was not fitted.

Since Nike is done making clubs I'm looking for a new manufacturer to rely on....it would be a great opportunity to see the latest developments of Taylor made and get fitted for a new set of clubs.

[ruffo83]

Current USGA handicap-9.9

2014 Taylormade Tour Preferred MB irons 3-PW. KBS Tour Stiff 120g shaft

Were you fit for your current irons? No

I have been a huge advocate for Taylormade since I was 8 years old. I've had the bubble graphite shaft iron set when I was a kid. Bubble shadt driver. I have played The r7 irons. R9 tp irons. The rocketbladez TP irons. And now the 2014 Tour preferred MB irons. I have also played with numerous drivers. R7 super quad. R1. SLDR TP. And now the M1. I switched from prov1x the TPx balls and most recently the TP5x. I have fell in love with Taylormade technology and I will continue to maintain my high standard and selection of golf equipment with them. I have tried other brands but none as appealing as Taylormade.

​Current USGA handicap: 5.2

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific): Ping i200 4-PW Nippon Modus 3 105

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? Yes. Uinta Golf Salt Lake City, Utah. 5 months ago.

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf. I have enjoyed TM irons and drivers for the past past 10 years. I would love to get back to being able to look down at my irons and not feel like I’m having an illicit affair.

[ATRAIN19]

Current USGA handicap- +1.0

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific)- Callaway Apex UT 19*, Fujikura Fuel 85X

4-7 Srixon Z745, KBS Tour C-taper 120S 1X hard step, 2* flat

8-Pw Srixon Z945, KBS Tour C-taper 120S 1X hard step, 2* flat

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? I have never been through the fitting process for any club. My choice of irons has been through mostly trial and error.

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at Taylormade Golf? Considering Iv'e fit myself through trial and error I am curious how far off I actually have been. I am always in the hunt for the best performing combination of clubs to give me an edge; in my opinion equipment is one of the best equalizers when you get it right. I am a college golfer at Georgia Military College, although I am coming off of a National Championship victory I am not happy with my equipment and feel like I am leaving something on the table. I am a huge advocate of Taylormade M series woods and intrigued to see how far they have stepped it up with the irons.
