Erik and I will be at the PGA Show all next week.  For those that might not know what this is, it's the biggest week of golf business with 1,100+ interactive exhibits by leading golf companies and brands.  Great chance to check out what new products, not only the major manufactories but also what the more modest sized companies, have in store for 2012.  The Show  held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Florida.  With more than 41,000 business participants it is also a very important event for networking opportunities.  Attendees at the show can take part in topical seminar sessions that are organized during the event.  To get an idea of how much the event has grown since 1954 check THIS out.

If you can't make it, don't worry, Bridgestone Golf will be hosting live coverage from the PGA for 2 days  12pm -1pm. We will be able to broadcast the coverage on the site.  On Jan 26-27 from 12-1pm go HERE

This is my first time attending and I've only heard great things about it, especially how big it is.  I'm personally looking forward to the Demo Day on Wednesday.  My buddy at Graphite Design says you can spend the whole day walking from one end of the range to the other.  Sounds good to me!  I'm excited to check out some of Callaway's newest line of woods because of their FIT system and obviously since I'm a PING fanboy (as Erik calls me) the i20 line.

We're looking to provide TST community with pics, and probably video interviews with the equipment specialists from a variety of manufactures and apparel companies.

More importantly, I want to ask you guys, What products or companies are you excited to hear about?

Let us know by posting in this thread and we'll get you the scoop.

Any other cool or unique training aids would be good to see.

What a golf fest! I am green with envy. Have a great time while you are there. I really hope to make it over to Orlando next year.

I am interested in anything that will help my students improve faster! ;-)

I'll be there!

Honestly, there's no 'one' thing I am specifically interested in. Being a lefty, I tend to miss out on the cool new clubs, so I tend to geek over golf gadgets.

I'll look for you guys. You'll be at the Bridgestone display?

A company I do a lot of work for is exhibiting there.  Nothing significant, just golf accessories and bags for women.  Kind of anxious to see their results from the show.

Is this show open to the public or only to those in the industry?  Thought just those in industry but have heard a few comments suggesting the public can go.

Always changing:

 

Driver: Cobra S2/Nike VR Pro 10.5º

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour 4-9i

Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º & 21º

Wood: TaylorMade R11 3w

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

 

First round: February 2011

Well here's a stupid question (since I probably know the answer), but will thesandtrap.com be represented there in some fashion?

No. It's a merchandise show. Mike and I will be there to walk around and make some videos and take some pictures of merchandise, but that's about it.

Oh, can you try and get some trackman or flightscope data on the performance differences between the 2011 PentaTP and the 2012 Penta TP5 and TP3 balls?  In particular I would like to see some ball speed and spin data.  I would think they would have that type of data available??

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
