Just a heads up for the Fort Worth people, Mizuno will have a demo day out at Leonards Golf Links on October 6th. Not 100% on hours but I think the last one was 10am-3pm.

This is one week before the Fall Demo day where there will be more OEMs. I don't know if this means Mizuno will not be at the Oct 13th day, but it might.

Hobbes, I'll be in Dallas during that time. Seems that you've been to these Fall Demo days before.

Question: Do the OEMS sell equipment or just demos? Big discounts?

Thanks!

I live reasonably close to those range so I do get to go frequently.

The OEMs do not sell directly, but you can buy from the range itself. They have some stock but the clubs are typically ordered if you need anything custom. Earlier this year I was looking for irons and asked if there was a discount off the price for buying at the demo day. I was told that because it was a Mizuno set he couldn't discount the price (which sounds like BS) but he would give me 10 free buckets of balls. That is a good deal for someone local who can use it but wouldn't do you any good.

So the answer if basically this is a great chance to hit the clubs off of real grass (this is a very nice range) where you can see actual ball flight. Woods, wedges and stock sets of clubs should be available, but I don't think any club builder vans will be present.

Also, this is pretty far from Dallas proper. Depending on where you are in the Dallas area you might do better trying to go to one of the the PGA superstores which are in the North Dallas area.

Hope this helps.

Thank you hobbes.

Yes, I stay in North Dallas and I googled this up and looks quite a travel. But maybe I can try to visit.

Cheers!
