What are your current irons and shafts (be specific): 2013 OnOff forged 5-PW, NS Pro 950 Gh Stiff

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade: Golf Since I've never been fit, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for me.

[Twohey]

Hcp: 13.9

Clubs: Callaway X-Prototypes; Project X Flighted 6.0

Fitting: No

Why: I exclusively play for fun and recreation. Aside from the pure enjoyment of playing with friends and challenging myself, trying new equipment is a reward in itself. Since I don't play competitively, I've always put off getting fit. Going through a "full treatment" at the TM Kingdom would add a new dimension to my golf perspective and level of engagement with this game. And, of course, I would get bragging rights over my WRX'er buddies!

[Always_rough]

-Current USGA handicap: 13.9

-What are your current irons and shafts (be specific): Mizuno JPX 900 Tour 4-PW with DG S300 AMT shafts.

-Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when?: Yes (in the sense of swinging an iron with mizuno's little swing speed stick on it). Fit back at the beginning of May 2017.

-State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf: I've always been interested in Taylormade irons, be it the PSI's from last year or more specifically the p770's this year, but was pushed off of the product by a few places out here in my state. I really wanted to get fit for them, however, the professional fitting me said that other brands were better. I'd absolutely love and greatly appreciate an opportunity to be fit by the manufacturers themselves, to see if what the fitting professionals out here said really stood up to the test.

 

I would actually like the opportunity to give back to the community here at wrx with a product review of my own. No problem at all to post reviews or updates.

• ​Current USGA handicap - 6.7
  
• What are your current irons and shafts (be specific) - Ping Ie1 4-P w/ Nippon Modus 130S +1"
  
• Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? - Yes, fit at Mile's of Golf in Ypsilanti, MI in March of 2016. Was fit into Modus 130X, but eventually pulled the shafts and dropped to 130S to try to get better launch numbers.
  
• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf - I would love to attend this event basically because I am a golf nut. Obsessed actually. I love studying, reading about, and trying new gear. Love to hear the differences between all the club manufacturers. But I live in rural Ohio where we don't even have anywhere close to try new things. Its a 1.5 hour drive just to get to Golf Galaxy. Our local courses don't sell clubs. So options are limited and am forced to drive 2.5 hours to Mile's of Golf to really test anything. Would love the opportunity to get inside TM Headquarters, see what really goes into the clubs we play, and a chance to get fit by some of the best fitters in the world. With the birth of our 3rd child this past March, my time is limited to play the game I love. Please pick me and would love to participate in the future discussions about the experience. Thanks WRX and Taylormade!

​Current USGA handicap - 7-8ish

 

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific) - Taylormade Burner 2.0 4-Pw with TT X100 shafts. 1* flat and std. length.

 

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? - Was not fit for these.

[granata10]

Current Handicap: 0.1

Current Irons: Ping IE 1; Orange dot (2.25* flat), -.25" length (37.75" 5 iron); DG S300

I was not fit for these irons but was fit for a previous set of Pings in 2007 at Miles of golf and ordered these as well as other irons to those specs.

 

I would like to attend this unique opportunity because it is a one of a kind fitting that most do not get to do. Like most people on GolfWRX I am an equipment junkie, but to be honest I have never played a forged iron. I have hit friends clubs and demoed them when at a golf shop but never truly played a forged iron and would love this opportunity to see what I am missing. It has been a while since I have been fit, not a lot of options living in Northern Michigan, and to be fit by some of the best in business would be amazing.

• What are your current irons and shafts (be specific) - Mizuno MP15 4-PW, 1* upright, standard length. True Temper XP115 S300.
  
• Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? Yes. Granville Golfland, Granville, OH. March of 2015.
  
• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf - I'm 31 and have been playing TM drivers and woods for a while. I think I still have an R540 in the closet somewhere. I still have the RBZ Stage 2 fairway and hybrid in my bag. When I find something that works I tend to stick with it and not chase minimal gains that may be seen from the latest and greatest. Distance has never been a struggle for me but dispersion can be occasionally. That's where I am with the MP15's currently. I love the way they look at address and the feel of a solid strike. Every once in a while I will struggle with accuracy. I would love to get a full out fitting experience to see if the new equipment could help with more consistency. I would also gladly participate in any and all ongoing reviews after the experience.
  

My current full setup is:

TM M1 430, Fujikura Pro Tour spec 73X

TM RBZ stage 2 3HL, stock Matrix RocketFuel stiff

TM RBZ stage 2 21.5* hybrid, Proforce Axivcore tour black X

Mizuno MP15 4-PW, XP115 S300

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf: I thoroughly believe that a iron fitting would result in a huge improvement on my game. Playing the shafts and heads that fit my game would give me confidence that my clubs are going to do what I need them to consistently. Also, I would love to see everything behind the scenes as well as visiting the Kingdom.

I like my 750s' but have always loved blades and want to see what the upcoming offerings have to offer for me/my game. I've had 3 different UDI irons in the top of my bag and regrettably have sold them all at one point or another -- mostly b/c i wasn't fit for them and kept searching for something better. currently game the 2017 M2 driver, as well as the M2 Tour 3w (HL) as well. Plus, i've never been to california --- so that'd be an experience in of itself.

In a post below, answer the following:

​Current USGA handicap. 2.4

 

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific) Mizuno mp 5 c taper lite x 1up 38" 5 iron

 

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? No, but know specs from prior fitting

 

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

 

Having had previous fittings prior to latest tech I understand basics. Now I am eager to learn w/trackman data how much more I can get from my iron and wedge game. I have hit prior gen TMade irons and loved the feel. It would be my last set of irons for a while if I got the chance to be fit at The Kingdom! The added bonus for me would be that I have been all over the world but only visited SoCal once and did not get to play golf.

[cane700]

​Handicap: 13.8

If so, where / when? Cog Hill. Titleist Thursday.

Handicap: 14.2

Irons: Mizuno JPX900 Hot Metal (4-PW) w/ ProjectX LZ 5.5 shafts

Fitting: Was done at Club Champion - Charlotte, Feb 2017

Why: It would be a great opportunity to get fit into a set that will stick with me as my game (hopefully) continues to improve. And if those irons hit half as good as they look, it will be a heck of a good time getting to swing them.

 

Thanks for the chance, and I look forward to the reports even if I don't get selected.

Secondly after reading through the last Taylormade experience forum, the fitting aspect is only a small portion of the experience. Seeing the inner workings of Taylormade and the Kingdom would be something I'd never forget and by the sounds of it would gain a few friends along the way. Plus who doesn't want a chance to possibly get some new sticks!
  

Thanks again for an incredible giveaway!

• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf - I'm going to purchase new irons this year. I've been looking at Mizuno, Titleist, Ping, Callaway, Taylormade and the fitting options for each respective manufacturer. I was fit in 1998 by Titleist but I know things have changed a bunch since then. The Reynolds Kingdom of Golf in Georgia was an option I had/am looking into so the chance to go to The Kingdom in California would be amazing!
  

Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow what an opportunity. Thanks for considering me GolfWRX and Taylormade.

 

 

Current USGA handicap: 7.1

 

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific): Nike Vapor Pro Combo 4-W with True Temper DG Pro s300

 

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when?: No I was not fit for these irons

 

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf: First and foremost, the fitting experience. I have been fit for irons before indoors but never truly been given the "tour treatment" where someone watches my swing and takes all the variables into account besides the number showing up on a monitor. Leaving this event and knowing the irons I have are perfect for me and left out no variables would be pure confidence. Also, after following the original event earlier this year, I saw how much fun it was for the guys to get together and bond. I would love to share and document this for WRXers.

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific)...Mizuno MP4 3-P w/ Nippon Modus 130 X-Flex

 

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when?...no, found them used and a crazy great deal.

 

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf... It would be great to get a behind the scenes look at all the great stuff they make. I'm kinda a nerd when stuff like this is on TV as well, I should have been a engineer. It would also be great to finally get fit for some new blades. And would really like to do a complete write up about the experience.

 

Thanks GolfWRX and TaylorMade

Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when? Fit for lie and length

State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf - I would love to have the opportunity to be properly fit for a set of irons, as well as the chance to meet the people at TM and other WRX'ers. Seems like it would be a great time. The Kingdom seems like a golfer's Wonka factory...

[myurick2]

• ​Current USGA handicap: 10
  
• What are your current irons and shafts (be specific): Current irons are 2017 M2, with REAX regular steel.
  
• Were you fit for your current irons? If so, where / when?: No. Bought them as a result of testing the M1 and M2 and reviewing them for the site.
  
• State why you'd want to attend this exclusive opportunity to be fit at TaylorMade Golf: Love Taylor Made and would love to take advantage of the expertise and knowledge of TM fitters. Love my current irons, but a forged club from TM would be the best! Sometimes hard to find trained and knowledgeable fitters locally, and most try to talk medium swing speed players out of forged. Usually only a stiff/x-stiff shafted world. Would love to see what a forged club could do for me, when expertly fit. I think it would add a level of confidence to my game that may be currently lacking. I have been fit for clubs before, but the results were not encouraging. Anyway, TM was very generous to send me the M1 and M2, and I am really thankful, but I have to try for this dream trip.

What are your current irons and shafts (be specific)

 

Callaway Apex with project x 6.5 hardstepped. I used play more traditional players irons however I was losing strokes on par 3s as I am fairly long off the tee and rarely hit irons into greens so I went as big as I can hit. (My stoke average on par 3s dropped from 3.4 to 3.1.) Now there are lots of irons in the players-game improvement category so I would like something with less offset. I love the way the 770s look (especially the milled face) so I am thinking about getting them but I cant justify the cost right now with saving up for grad school in data anayltics. Also the 790 DI looks incredible.

 

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

 

Kind of? A few years ago I was fit at a titleist dealer however I wanted something more forgiving then the AP2 and less chunky then the AP1 so I picked the Apex. My swing has changed sense then so I would like to get re-fitted.

 

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

 

I am a data analytics and golf club making nerd so I would love to hear all the tech talk with guys that fit the tour and try to absorb as most as I can. I was fit for my woods last year at Cool Clubs and went back and forth with the fitter about the feel and how shafts loaded for me. As a result, we really enjoyed my time, I learned a good amount and most importantly got amazing results from it. Right now, I am hitting my woods longer and straighter then I have ever been. I can't imagine what an actual tour level fitting would do for my knowledge and game.

 

On a more selfish note, I live in Wisconsin and there isn't any great outdoor places to get fit for irons!

 

Thanks for your consideration and whoever is picked for this will have an amazing time. Cheers!
