Thought it was unfair that they let the guy from the black team hit considering he was British amateur long drive champion. 360 yards on his first hit!!!! My arse. He didn't even get it to the 100 yard marker

I was on the grey team and gutted! Didn't know he was amatuer LDC - why didn't they just not bother doing the comp in the end and just give them the clubs!
 
I too was there Tuesday. The day was good, the driving part of it was a bit off, but they were there to tell the world how many yards they gave their 100 guests, not to provide a proper fitting in my opinion.

Taking it for what it was, it was fun. Especially since I sunk a nice 50 foot putt for a free putter ;)

Haha! You've got more free equipment in your bag than most of the pros!

Wasn't tempted to part with my cash for a driver but some of those putters were tempting, tried the " toe up " one...couldn't miss with it...that'll soon change if I buy one...and the wedges weren't bad either..might cost me a few quid after all

Attended the king of distance event at the belfry yesterday and it was clear from the start is was a big push towards their new driver. I had no problem with this, it was what i expected. After a few different zones i watched a guy being fitted in the fitting xr zone. He was hitting his taylormade m1. He hit two respectable shots before the fitter said "try this" and gave him a new xr driver. He caught his first one out the screws and the fitter said " see! I just gave you 21 yards " the golfer said "let me hit my m1 another couple of times as i want a comparable strike" the fitter said he was out of time and had to move on.

I step up with my sldr and i hit 3 very bad shots with my sldr and was handed a xr. After about 20 balls i finally hit one out the middle. The fitter said "there you go, I've gave you 24 yards". I just smiled, said thank you and moved on. The nail in the coffin was callaway wanted an interview and said "make sure you say how better it was over your sldr" i explained that It wasn't and wasn't prepared to make that statement. The interview was cancelled.

At the grand finally the top hitters had a shootout down the 1st on the brabazon with the aid of trackman. Drives were being hit around 280 maximum and the trackman was giving crazy stats of 310,320.

I don't mind the hard sell but to stand their and be completely mislead has made me a touch angry
