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?

I didn't get the gift certificate because I couldn't find my original receipt. :(

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
