2014 Louisville Golf Expo: (Callaway/Mizuno/Titleist/Cobra/Nike/Wilson/Cleveland) Pictures

[xThor]

Went to the 2014 Louisville, KY Golf Expo today. A decent sized Demo event, showcasing 2014 products, and many vendors liquidating 2013 product. Here are some pictures.

Not today. Just went quickly and browsed/ took some pics (sorry for the blur on some of them!). Will be going back tomorrow to spend time with vendors and playing with some gear.

That's all the pictures i have for now. Really sorry they came out so blurry, kind of disappointed in myself for that. Went to the show after working third shift and seriously thought I had better than what I ended up with. I should probably get a fancy camera. lol.

If anyone has any questions or wants a specific (non-blurry) picture when I go back to the show tomorrow, just let me know.

I will be taking a Callaway Supersoft ball with me and will do a bounce test against the Wilson Duo. Will film this on Vine and share here tomorrow.

Nice stuff X, that titleist shaft area looks like it could eat up a few hours

[phi482]

Looks much better than I expected. I should have gone at lunch!

[ZAP]

I am liking the prices on the XHot hybrids and the 2013 X Forged and the X Hot irons and.................

Thanks so much for thinking of us and snapping pics! Looks like some sweet deals there too!

If they have any MXM 330 putters, I'd love a shot at address. I know they have a great pic on Ody's website, but just jonesing for a little diff look or maybe with a ball in the pic. No sign of any of them here in Vegas that I've found yet...

Thanks for the pics Neil! Looks like there are some killer deals there.

The Jailbird, Havok, and CS Versa 7 look cool, although I'm not sure I putt better with those than with smaller, more boring shapes.

Does the $115 price for the stg 2 fws apply to Tour versions as well?

[OUZO Power]

Well done Neil. As always you deliver.

[gatorb8]

Where is this held in Louisville?

Will have to attend next year

[gr8blueheronbird]

Where are they heading next(Nashville) maybe?

No MXMilled here unfortunately. And I agree, the 330m is my favorite i think.

It is at the Fair and Exposition center near the Louisville Airport (West wing, near Freedom Hall). Going on all weekend!

Did not see any tour versions of the stg2 tour.






Today was mostly my general picture and talking with the rep day. I didn't browse much of the sale extensively, just the few items and prices that caught my eye. Plenty of good deals, but maybe not too many 'great' deals other than a few i posted and a couple more. Some nice forged iron sets for $120 or less though (710 ap2 in 4-Pw for $110 really caught my eye, and the mp30's for $70 were in great condition). Tomorrow the wallet takes a hit, but without 2014 product for sale, i dont think i'll be spending as much as I would had it been available to buy on the spot (namely the mxmilled and the jailbird)

[lvmike]

Thanks anyway. Seems like they're starting to hit stores today based on some of the other threads so maybe it will be a good weekend.

Thanks also for all the reports on the CALLAWRX2 trip. Cool stuff. Mega cool.

Nothing to be sorry about. I for one appreciate the effort. If you don't mind I have one request. Can you get a pic of the other side of the stand bag? Was it the Big Bertha edition or just a standard 2014 Hyper-Lite 4.5?

Thanks again.

Will do! I believe this is what they are calling the Fusion 14

Neil, great job on the photos and thread in general. Absolutely nothing to apologize for, bro! Top notch sharing. I second sandiegonative's request for more views of that bag, as well as maybe other new Cally stand bag options. I'm in the market for a Callaway stand bag, as I am not a staff bag guy because I walk quite a bit- but will still want to show Cally a little love out on the course this season!

Thanks Brad.
That was the only stand bag the rep brought. there may be more for saturday, i'll definitely get more angles and pictures.

[GoIrish17]

Thanks. Working third shift again, or just up late on a Friday? I SO should be in bed, but can't get off BST and eBay. If I don't hit it soon, bad things may happen to my bank accounts.

[GoIrish17]

Oh, and what's the story on the Wanamaker trophy? Replica or real deal on display at the Titleist booth?

HAHA, i hear ya there! Third shift all month though. Ebay and bst are constantly on refresh, and these iron sale at the expo are gonna get a good look over tomorrow.


That Wanamaker trophy is the actual exact trophy they will be giving out at the PGA here at Valhalla. Not a replica. It's near the beer vendor, not with Titleist or anything haha!

That's normally where I'm located, lol.

that W/S stuff is looking better and better.

[kwooten31]

Oh how I would have been in debt after leaving that place. Great pics, thanks for making me drool...

[purplepeopleeater]

Thanks. Now I am really looking toward the Michigan show in Novi in March. Now 45 days away.
