So i finally had a chance to visit the Callaway performance center in Carlsbad and I highly recommend it if you use or plan to use callaway clubs. I concentrated on my irons and did some measurements on their swing machine. Its not really designed to give you a lesson, but gives you a really good read out on your swing path and contact with the ball. After the fitting, i found that my irons were a tad too long and needed to be bent 2 degrees up-right. I am also getting some of the new golf pride grips installed.

Here is the free things i received:
- towel
- hx tour golf balls-12
- golf pride grips
-Tour i golf balls- 12

*** The guy also showed me a prototype of their new forged iron. It looks very much like a true blade. These will cost a premium and be manufactured in limited quantities.

Below are a few pics. They would not let me take photos inside of the fitting area.

yes, been here a few times, awesome facility. My work does business with callaway and i get to go back into their warehouses and check out all the new stuff. The place looks like a costco just filled with heads, shafts, grips, everything, its heaven. but if you think this is nice, you should check out the titleist testing facility in carlsbad as well. man alive.

how much did it cost you to get fitted there?

Thanks for the review..That looks like a cool place

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

i wouldnt say better, but its definately top notch, all gated up and secluded.

150 bucks isnt bad, especially when you get 80 dollars worth of balls and a full set of grips. im gonna look into that!

Question: does it count towards purchase of Callaway clubs?

Question 2: Why so many places for this stuff in Carlsbad? Callaway, Titleist, I think TaylorMade might have one there too? Don't they know it's a two hour drive for me?

Oh, my heart bleeds for you. It's about a 37 hour trip for me. And, oh, would I like to go! Two hours, man? I'd be there in a flash!

    • Which makes it tougher to win tournaments, and speaks to the strength and depth of fields. It's unknowable how to specifically rate a player (i.e. is Jack a 99.1 and Tiger is a 99.8?), but since the format for PGA Tour and major championships has remained basically the same, by comparing records and the players that took part, you can pretty directly compare across eras and derive that Tiger > Jack. Do you even know what side of this discussion I'm on? That's not my opinion or belief. Did you quote — and reply — to the right person? Doesn't seem like it. Okay, I think it's clear now you've replied to the wrong person. I have many times.
    • Fun to see a competitive Sunday leaderboard. Glad to see Viktor playing well again, especially after reading the story about him the other day where he didn’t seem to be in a great spot. Seems Joe gets him playing his best. 
    • Day 66. Short game practice, 100y and in. Better than yesterday but a ways to go.   Followed by working on impact technique. When I work on where the club ends up post impact, I seem to hit the ball much better. Feels like day to day incremental progress.

    • Was that a low spinner from Viktor on 4 at Valhalla? From the first cut, I worries it would fly past the flag, then it stops dead.
