I'm new to Tiger Droppings so greetings fellow golfers.
I've been in or around the golf business since 1988 and a PGA member for 32 years. I'm headed to the largest golf show in the world this weekend...The PGA Show in Orlando. I will be saturated in all things golf for a week. If any of you want a non-biased review or opinion on any new equipment just let me know what you are interested in and I'll check it out for you. The demo and fitting day is Tuesday and then the show is the rest of the week. I certainly don't know everything but after 35 years I do know a lot, especially about coaching and teaching.
Feel free to use me. I love helping golfers.
Fairways and Greens,
ViceGolfer

Awesome.

Would like to hear your thoughts on the Callaway Paradym driver vs the new Cobra Aerojet on the range.

I find it interesting that the Stealth 2, Paradym and the Ping 430 all have the sliding back weight.

Lastly, Odyssey has new Tri Hot putters, the new Rossie model looks really good in pictures. Any thoughts on those would be appreciated.

Enjoy the show and feel free to talk about anything new and exciting.

OP, I’m interested to know how many DTC companies will be in attendance.

Also, what’s the new buzz words in golf? It was all carbon wood, carbon crown, etc. what’s next?

How much LIV v PGA talk is going on

I used to attend when I was an apprentice in the mid-90s.

My favorite "work" week of the year...

A task that I would relish and my reporting would be top notch.

Last time that I did something like this, Callaway gave me 2 dozen boxes of Chrome Hex balls that I gave away at a Houston Bombsquad Golf Outing at Woodforest Fish Creek.

Cleath the Cat on here attended the event.

Create a burner email account through yahoo or gmail w/ your tigerdroppings name. You'll probably need to add a few numbers to yours since vicegolfer@gmail.com is probably in use.

I remember that show back in the 90's when I was a pro. Slazenger was the first company to do major club fittings. I can remember my Callaway salesman pushing those wedges and begging for business. Now he's a millionaire and lives on the 18th Tee.

Vice, unfortunately, I'm on magazine deadline.
I need to re-think my priorities.

Thanks for the offer.

I still have and wear a Slazenger Wind Shirt. It looks great and it's still the best that I have ever bought.

I have a Zero Restrictions and a new Footjoy Hydrolite and they are both just stiff feeling.
