Green Bay Golf Expo

I just got back from the first day of the expo. Rory (indacup) is the one of the nicest guys I've met. Quite the gentleman, he pointed out the choicest females in the area. My best fit at the Tourswing booth was a Renegade 9* with a Vengeance. Excellent feel, and I much prefer the shape to other odd shaped drivers. I was getting 100-105 or a little more swing speed, smash factor high 140s to low 150s. I don't rememer other stats, but the spin was very good. No sidespin whatsoever with the Renegade. My best was 68 rpm of draw spin. I can't get over the feel though. It just blows my Hibore out of the water. Highlights of the Tourswing booth: some kid broke the ys-6 in his 907 d1 off at the hosel, and an enoumous Indian woman hit a ball 250. The rest of the expo was fairly bogus, not a lot there. The bridgestone guy wouldn't let me hit the J36 stuff, and it is not humanly possible to hit a Nike sumo squared 3+ wood off the deck. It is 975J sized. I had fun though. 15andlife, are you going to the expo?

ps Rory, that Renegade is mine, just give me a few paychecks...

edit: I forgot to mention the Tourswing fitter that was there. He has a nice swing which produces, get ready for this, carry of 280-300 yards, swing speed about the same as mine. His highest smash factor was 164!

Sounds like fun.

Was that enourmous Native lady one of Rory's Booth Babes?

I'm not sure. You'll have to ask him. I don't think so though, as he was checking out the girl taking tickets in the front. First thing he said to me when I got there was basically, check out that girl's @ss. I can't say that I disagree with him.

Well, obviously, this needs to be said...

You're scaring me. I was going to see Rory at the Milwaukee golf show but if he's going to make me want a new driver.....

That's what concerns me about the one here in Madison next week, looking at the list of exhibitors it appears as if chiropractors, insurance agents, etc are going to outnumber any & all golf related items.

There were some golf courses there and things like that, but I went for the equipment. I wanted to check out the Tourswing stuff, and also Bridgestone, but the b-stone rep said I have to wait until March to hit the J36 stuff. The only other OEM there was Nike, and Srixon will be there today I believe.
