Are your clubs helping or hurting? Do you struggle with your golf game? Do your clubs appear to have a mind of their own? Do you want to play better golf? Are you tired of trying this and trying that?
If you answered yes to any of these then you're in the right place. Every year we help 100's of golfers eliminate the guesswork by identifying not only the best set of golf golf clubs to take their game to another level, but we also help them understand how those golf clubs need to be assembled and built to accommodate the way they swing and deliver the golf club, and although club fitting isn't a silver bullet, it does account for the other side of the coin. We know that either Technique or Golf Clubs alone will only get you so far, but when combined together, you can get there faster.
Sometimes it feels like we try to get exactly the right club as though that is the problem, but really they might just need to learn how to golf…. I can see for people who are below average in strength would get more distance with a lighter club, and a stronger but slower person might benefit from a heavier club…
Definitely all good points and possibilities, the best way I like to look at it is sometimes having the right tool or instrument for the job can make executing the technique much easier. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting to see that technique should have been addressed right from the start.Hitting down with a driver, really? Fitting should of stopped then and technique addressed after 5 shots.Then fitting of the club could have continued.I guess if the player has bad technique then they should have a lesson or two before turning up to get fitted.Great vid again
Well we are hoping more and more fitters will get smart on the technique side of the coin because without question I will never do a fit where technique doesn’t come up.
Just switched to MMT 85R in 923 Hot Metal Pro 5-Gw. Your videos helped me tell the fitter I wanted to try graphite. What would you recommend in wedges in terms of weight and flex? Considering MMT105, MMT85 or the fitter recommend possibly KBS tour lite regular (95grams)
Been playing golf for a year (aged 42) nowhere near me has any golf coaches where i can get a lesson Im 5' 10" is standard club length ok for me? I really struggle getting the ball in the air Maybe once every 20 shots ill get the ball in the air (so i know i ca do it) The problem is the other 19 out of 20 are all just 20, 30, 40 yards scuffed along the grass and thats with every club
This generally means you are catching it low in the face and are blading the ball so it could be length or it could be a little bit of Indian and you are standing up through impact also known as early extension. Film your swing from DTL view and if you see your head raise and pelvis move to the ball the. You are early extending, here just think sit in your heels during the downswing. If it looks good then length may be the culprit.
If only you boys were in the Scottsdale, AZ area. Hard to find good and honest club fitters here who really have your best interest above their own. All I see and hear in town is upselling. If anyone here knows of a reputable club fitter in or near Scottsdale, please let me know as I’m in the market for new clubs. Cheers.
Been looking at the Srixion ZX MKII and looking at what combo I’m thinking this and maybe add the Srixion ZX utility iron in a 3 or 4 to swap out my 7 wood or 3 hybrid depending on the course I’m at. ZX4 5 iron, 6 iron, 7 iron ZX5 8 iron, 9 iron, PW And should I get the Attack wedge or just buy it with my wedge set.
I would go AW in the iron set as a traditional wedge will be hard to keep up with the distances of the ZX 5 irons. And utility irons are no joke, definitely one of my favorites out there.
Hello and great video. It sounds like you have a lot of experience and time using this type of mat. Can you tell me if hitting of of this mat or any mat in general will create scuff marks or rub off the bottom of the club as compared to regular grass? Especially for fairway woods and hybrids. Thanks you for your time.
These type of matts generally won’t do any damage to your clubs. Heck I will go as far to say that we can take a demo head that we have used all year and polish it up and it will look brand new. So no concern at all.
Incredible. This is identical to what is happening in my current game..I just purchased a set of Mamiya RECOIL 480 F4 shafts and am looking forward to installing them. . May i ask, Do you recommend a particular swing weight with Graphite over Steel ? and do you also think an iron should be 1/2 inch longer when using graphite, over steel ? Great vid content. Big thanks for this one.
No I don’t agree with longer lengths in graphite but I understand why, and that’s because SW is so hard to get a the Standard length and there really isn’t that much you can do in regards to tips weights for graphite shafts. But with that said I will say whether or not if you play steel or graphite everyone has a preferred SW and it won’t change regardless of the material. Best of luck to you.
Hi.I purchased a set of irons that are 1/2 inch longer than standard and have AMT White s300 shafts..I hit them in the middle, but hit very deep divots and struggle to swing these heavy clubs.Question..If I cut the shafts to my fitting ,IE, standard 37 inch 7 iron, would these irons be usable? Thanks Nick..West Oz..
I guess I'm playing some dinosaurs. 4 to pw are Ping i3's. Still work, and when I get in to be fit for new irons, I'm very curious to see how much of an improvement there will be with today's tech. BTW, Great video and breakdown of rhe fitting process
It’s a really good question and there appears to be enough interest that we are going to do a video sharing some practical tips. Thanks again for the support and kind words.
Very new beginner here. I’m 6’3” and have one of the Strata club sets from the PGA store. I know I need more practice and better technique, but could I need longer clubs as well? The guys I was playing with this past weekend said that I did, but still unsure. I’m coming from a baseball background so it is still quite awkward to put the swing together comfortably
At your height you could use a little extra length. Go you know for sure comes down to a couple of things. Are you catching the ball low in the face, and or does it feel or look like that you have to bend over more just to find the middle of the face . If both of these are no then you are likely good to go.
@@SwingFit yes to some extent to catching it low in the face, but not always. Yes to feeling like I have to bend over considerably to be at a “good angle”
I know I’m a few years late, doesn’t cutting out the yoga mat to make room for the cardboard/tape just remove all of the extra cushion right where you need it? If not, couldn’t you just use cardboard under the whole mat? And if he yoga mat is better than the cardboard, why not use a section of yoga mat wrapped in tape(to keep the tee from ripping through)?
So not really, that was really only used for when hitting the driver. So you would never come into contact with the Matt. Since then I’ve switched to the new BirtTees. Those things have been phenomenal.
At 1.29 on your video, you said; "I can INSURE YOU" rather than "I can ASSURE YOU". Just saying! Other than that the info on your video is really good.
This should be common sense lol😂. I wish to go into the club fitting world but it seems super difficult to do. Cluld u maybe make a video about how to become a fitter ir something along thoes lines?
Not sure if you had a question, but I will take a stab, everyone wants to hit it farther but you should never base a decision off of how far the best shot goes. But rather how good or far does the bad shots go would be more of a telling picture of how effective or good a golf club is for you. So don’t chase the distance and it will come.
I switch off between my hybrid & heavenwood (basically 7 wood) and the way I got to fix my dispersion from hitting left with the hybrid is by making my shaft slightly stiffer. Idk why it works, but it definitely helps
Glad to see another video from your channel! I have a question about my dad who is 64 this year and starting to lose distance and confidence from the tee. He is working with a TSR2 10 degree head with loft turned up and stock HZRDS (black color) regular flex shaft. I suggested he try a regular flex Ventus velocore red or TR red. I also suggested he get into a higher spinning ball because he tends to hit drop kicks that fall out of the air too fast. I thought the Bridgestone Tour B RXS was a decent option for him to try. Anything else you’d recommend? I know going in for a fitting would be best. He did this for his current driver a year or so ago. No recent injuries for him, just getting older. His current ball is Kirkland Thanks for the great work you do!
I would say all of the above would be a good option. In specific anything we can do to optimize the launch conditions would only help. We all know distance is predicated on ch speed first and foremost, as as we get up in age there are a couple of things we can do such as looking at lighter weight driver options, doesn’t always work but it could be a possibility. Tsr1, and basically everyone under the sun has one out there, lightweight shaft and head can help. The other piece is making sure the delivery is optimized we don’t want to be hitting down on The ball and we need the club path and face to path relationship to be in alignment with one another. If those three things check out then it is without question speed and gear. I hope this helps.
Great to see your new content! Very effective as usual, really enjoyed the presentation!! Glad business is going so well in a very difficult financial situation for most folks!
Thanks for the kind words, don’t get me wrong it’s busy but a different busy. Less foot traffic but that has made us buckle down on the quality of our fits and as a result we are seeing more repeat customers.
My PING 7 Wood has been a terrific add to the bag. Good review. I was playing a par 5 the other day . Used the 7 wood on the tee. Used the 7 wood all the way to the green. I was on in 3 total shots. Then took one putt into the hole for the bird. 7 wood stays in my bag.
Glad your back and congrats on the booming business. Great principle on fitting. Good luck to most of us finding someone that we can trust. Unfortunately, most fitters, at least, in my neck of the woods, are only interested in selling and upselling. All we want is to find a fitter that is trustworthy and has our best interest at heart above and beyond their own. These are far and few. Cheers.
I recently got fitted for new T200 irons with project x lz5.5 shafts my previous set was ap1 with dg s300. I’m really having trouble with the new irons trajectory as it is about 20’ higher than I’m used to seeing, and I play in wind a lot so I’m used to a more boring trajectory. Also thinning a fair amount. BTW 57 y/o 6.6 handicap with 82 mph 8 iron swing speed never had a problem stopping irons on a green with s300. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance
Shafts could be a small factor but the launch conditions with the t200 and CG location is likely more the culprit though. So I would go back and share feedback about height and see if you can revisit the head with the newer DG Mid 115 shaft.
My suggestion would be to use Precision Golf as a rough model or framework for your studio and build from there. They have high level production and seem to offer a high level service.
Nice break down... the tip about taking a break is huge. Be surprised how tired you get and quickly, especially when swinging driver. Nice to see you back and I'm glad business is booming over there. Being busy is a great reason for not being able to put out vids =)
Don’t be my friend, you likely have a little quicker transition or you might pull on the handle a little harder than that of how fast you are swinging the club. Completely ok and I wouldn’t be alarmed.
I have a question for you. I have the one length irons. I am getting swing weights from c2 c3 c6. That's the ones I checked. The website says the should be d0. I have heard all your irons should be the same swing weight. Should I try to get them all to d0 and how for up the set should you go. They do have different swing weights for the PW and GW at d1 Thanks
@@SwingFit These are the grips that came with the clubs from cobra. Just standard grips. I did not touch them out of the box and noticed I was playing army style golf. I then decided to swing weight them. The 6I was C6 7I C3 and 8I C2. those are the ones I checked.
I play regular steel stock shaft on my Taylor made speedblade irons. However, in a demo day fitting by mizuno and Taylor made they fitted me To MMT 105 stiff. My 7 iron. Swing speed is between 75-78mph. Very surprised.
Awesome content. What might be really nice to see, are some swing videos of "early release", "late release", slow tempo, fast tempo, hard loading vs smooth swinging golfers etc... and then what type of shaft category you'd choose for each swing type... viewers could then say "that looks more like I swing, I should maybe consider a shaft that's more tip stiff, or more but stiff etc... seeing what swing types match up with what shaft types as a fitter would be awesome, and I don't know that I've ever seen any videos show that in a visual way..
These are all great suggestions, as much as I don’t want to film my customers swings I think I need to figure out how to film where it’s not a distraction. Thanks again for the support and suggestions
I had my LW and SW extended to match the length of my GW. That solved a length problem, but it created two new issues. The first was that because my wedges were longer, their lie angles were effectively a couple degrees too upright and balls were shooting left. Easy fix though. The second issue is a significant increase in swing weight, as the added length has made the heads feel so much heavier. This isn’t really fixable short of drilling away material from the heads, which I’m not inclined to do. So long story short, just get fitted for your wedges in the first place and you won’t have these issues.
All great points but we build all of our wedges long and you do t have to remove weight from the head in fact you really can’t without ruining the integrity of the head. So to offset the longer length you just need to add a counter weight in The handle. Simple fix and it works every time.
My most expensive golf club was a custom built Bobby Grace Side Saddle putter....better part of $1000!!! Upside is I putt lights out with this monster!!
Cost really becomes irrelevant especially if it does exactly what it’s suppose to and from the sound of it you have a great level of confidence with that bad boy.
