Just got myself GS Pro to go with my Mevo+ to play more than just the E6 courses that came with it (as much as I love links golf and having St. Andrews and Troon is amazing for that, the number of courses on GS Pro is just too good to say no to.) Huge fan of the Cabot courses and the Bandon courses as well. An American links-like pair of courses I'd recommend if you want to practice at more of a midwestern elevation close to my home here in Wisconsin would be Sand Valley, and Mammoth Dunes and I'd recommend both those to links lovers looking for something a little different. I also enjoy practicing my home course here and getting that advantage on my playing mates (The Meadows at 6 Mile Creek in Waunakee, WI; it's a nice, fairly typical southern Wisconsin course)
I have it still, but I don't have a 4k screen size so I want this one that fits well and I'm going to use the 4k so I get the better benefits of that projector. One day hopefully I get a bigger screen and get the full benefits.
I recently had the opportunity to do this same test in a nice facility. The ground between the units, the ball, and the screen was all the same height, too. If we consider the best to be the Trackman 4, then the Full Swing Kit (FS Kit) was a close, close second. The Mevo+ with Pro Package did great, but not as close to Trackman as the FS Kit. Ease of use goes to FS Kit Accuracy goes to FS Kit (spin and carry distance) Autonomy goes to FS Kit (doesn’t need an app to take data) Price goes to Mevo+ Visualization goes to Mevo+ (shot shape is automatic in FS Golf) Reading short shots goest to Mevo+ (puts and chips) Portability is a tie: Mevo+ is lighter and easier to carry, FS Kit is heavier but faster to set up on the move Consistency goes to FS Kit (Mevo+ was sometime too large, sometimes too small) I lean toward the FS Kit, but it’s nearly twice the price. Before I decide, I’m taking a look at SkyTrak Plus. Might use that inside and get a cheaper radar device for outside.
Nice, yea whatever works for your needs is the best. I'm sure they've updated the unit in the past 4/5 years since I did the test so I'd imagine it's much better now.
The most noticeable thing is how he keep that lead side/leg active through the backswing. I do it and I think many amateurs do it, we loose that lead side on the backswing and then try to get back on it.
Started getting fit for my clubs about 15 years ago, 2nd best thing I’ve ever done to improve my golf game! 1st was getting lessons from a REAL professional! I’ll never buy another club without getting fit for it! Also, I always try to get fit outdoors! I like to see the ball flight and not always trust a launch monitor, but that’s just me. 🏌️♂️
throat guard or shinguard a velcro strap ,, heat it up bend it to roughly 51 degrees and buy a chewy dogball... takes 5 mins maybe , fits perfect to every person cuz you mold it.. total about 30 bucks
I try to keep my clubs D2-D4 and do move the swing weight weight up or down, plus change my grip position ( up or down the shaft by 1 inch ) before changing loft. I use 40 gram Dri-tec LT grips then layer tape on 8-10 grams. I find you need to know the limit of the shaft, a 95gram R shaft from C8 to D4 really affects the flex , so you have to be careful. I swapped to graphite S shafts for this reason to allow greater ability to increase swing weight yet keep the flex close to my swing speed target. I never really see any greater distance 5-10yards. It is flight height really.
100% if I have a D4 swing weight in a 40 gram cypher driver shaft, that would not work out well and actually defeat the purpose of the lighter shaft. It's all a feel and also a much more complicated thing than just getting the "proper flex", it's how everything works together as you mentioned!
@@scotthogangolfyes they’re selling this driver for $849. How much better is it gonna be compared to Qi10 or even the stealth. Prices are getting absurd. Still thanks for your video.
@@Tenncup76 we sell ours at $649, Qi10 is $599 the LS is $629. Stealths are cheaper but the ability to customize isn’t really there. This is where the cost of clubs are at currently unfortunately.
Definitely worth getting a fitting in, drivers have changed in 10 years! I don't play a 5 wood so I didn't hit it, but I have seen others try it and they are loving it. Lots of height to it.
I'm about to get fit for this driver myself this week, but the shaft did more for you than the clubhead. A Titleist rep saying the clubhead means more is the exact opposite. I am a Titleist guy myself.
I think the shaft is very important, but the point is that you have to find a clubhead you like otherwise you won't know which part of the club is having a positive or negative effect on the ball flight. Shaft is obviously a very important element to the process.
Thank you, most of the things look quite impressive! However, some say that it is a bit expensive, and it may have some rainbow effects as well. What will you say about these two?
Definitely a high end projector. I'm not sure what the rainbow effects are? My image is really good, I use it to watch big sporting events as well, it's been great.
At our facility with our Top100 fitters we charge $125 for a fitting. New drivers are around $600 right now so if you're going to make that investment I would definitely recommend getting fitted to make the most of it.
I only wish I could get fitted like this! I have to drive over 2 hours just to go to a Dick’s for any kind of fitting, which is mostly a waste of time! As a lefty I’m basically screwed on options. I will keep my current clubs until I have to get a softer flex !
Yea club companies don't provide as many fitting options to lefty's, but we get all of them at our facility and there are still some good ones. I do think avoiding the big box stores is a good plan as well. Best thing to do is get on the manufacturer websites and look for events they are putting on (we actually have one at our course today) where you can get fit by them (usually for free!) and they bring all of their options.
REally useful thankyou. I could be interested as so much of golf is the wedge game, but do you know if this is the same with other monitors? I'm thinking about getting the Rapsodo - thankyou
It's been the same with any that I've tested. The all read the initial ball speed off the club and it's just not as fast with these golf balls. Doesn't mean there isn't any value in practicing with foam balls, but you wouldn't be getting your true yardages.
I’m calling bs. Cmon guys like you find magical 10 yards with every new model. And now you got 23 yards. What are you finding with the GT Mark ii model in 2 years.
Not that I know of, it's more of a in the environment type of thing. There are other things you can do for that indoor type of practice though to really work on putting them when you go to the course try this out.
It was both, I had basically the same setup, in the TSR2 and the ball speed went up from 160ish to 163. What also people aren't realizing is that the head can change how you deliver. I'll talk more about it later but there are design features that caused some of the improvement in delivery numbers. And yes a very low spinning shaft for me as well helps.
And every year or every other year in Titleist’s case, they convince a few hundred suckers that the latest and greatest now $900 driver is somehow going to add 20 yards to their drives lol.
That's part of getting fit and getting into a better driver, one that helps you find the middle more, but also plenty of the shots with the GT were mishit (I made sure to say it) and the ball speed on mishit shots was still 3 mph faster on average and spin was down a couple hundred rpms on those mishits from the other driver.
I play a ltdx ls with a Venus white 60 s. The ball I was playing was launching lower than I liked. Switched to a higher launching ball and now it’s a monster. My swing speed is 105mph. Carry is between 275 and 280 now
@@ryanwalters694 It's a great driver and I think Cobra is an underrated club company. But with how my swing has changed over the past few years, I think it's no longer what I need.
One thing all of these "I GAINED XX NUMBER OF YARDS FROM A NEW DRIVER" have in common is their previous driver didnt fit them well. Its not that this driver is sooo fast or whatever these manufacturers want you to think, you just are spinning it less. 2800 to 2000 will gain anyone a decent chunk of distance, but you could have gained that distance with any brand out there, with their old or new drivers. This is all ignoring the fact that he lowered your spin with lower loft, which also will gain you ball speed. If more people understood how all this works, they wouldnt get so hyped on this stuff...
@@scotthogangolf Not according to the video, but lets even say that's true for arguments sake, you were hitting down on your cobra and up on the Titleist, a difference of just under 2 degrees. Also, you had an average 6° open face with your cobra, and a basically square face with the Titleist. Square face and more up will both equate to more club speed and less spin, which obviously result in more distance. Let's quit pretending new drivers are any faster. The answer is always in the numbers, whether that be the club spec numbers or swing numbers.
2.23 - "We believe that the head is the most important component of the club." This is an interesting comment when you consider the variability in flex, torsion, and twist of every shaft attached to that head! #personalthought
The main contribution a shaft makes to a golf club is weight... People overhype shafts. The head is infinitely more important than the shaft. When people find a shaft that they swing well, it's 90% the weight that they are timing properly.
The head gets you into the right neighborhood. When I hit the different heads, one of them was just a no-go for me personally (still a great club) but based on what I like to see and need it wasn't hitting those windows so I only hit it a few times. But once there, the shaft is going to make little tweaks to really dial in the feel and the numbers needed for the golf club. Part of it can be weight, but a lot of times it's going to be if I have a certain torque it's easier to turn it over or keep the face open, or there are certain shafts with the same weight/flex but completely different bend profiles that feel and produce different results. That was my main goal of this video to show that it is definitely worth going to get fit and get the opportunity to try some different options that are out there.
This was free. For us at Mistwood where we fit all brands we charge $125 (very worth it in my opinion) but you can also look for events from Titleist where it's usually less and you can fit.
I got a Titleist iron fitting a I really enjoyed the process. Ended up T350 irons and I love the feel and repeatability. Great video. I need a driver fitting now.
I did my irons about 6 weeks ago, ended up in T150's, similar reasons, they ball just consistently came out the same, but also my mishits were seeing very similar distances as well which was awesome.
I don't understand how you've got this online, if it's embargoed until August 1, 2024. You're over a month early - did you get some kind of special permission from Titleist? Definitely not trying to yuck your yum, but if everyone else online has to abide by the same rules, how'd you get around that?
I talked with Titleist before hand to get permission to film and we had a discussion about what is allowed and what isn't. There is plenty that I have that I'm not allowed to show. I've seen others with videos or content showing the exact same thing as I've done here.
Good fitting. My only problem with trying all 3 models is that first you hit your gamer, then you hit the Titleist, then you've got to narrow down shaft, then loft and surefit and with the GT3 possibly the weight. By the end, that's a lot of balls hit and fatigue comes into play.
It can, my speed stayed consistent throughout, also had a lot of fluids during this and made sure to take breaks. Anyone going for a fitting will hit a lot of swings. But it was about 80 total. I'm used to hitting a lot more shots than that.
If you had been correctly fit for any top driver , you would have achieved the same. Limits of driver are maxed out off centre hits. They're all good. Just get one that you like the look of .
Maybe that's true, that's why people should go get fit and get correctly fit and see what works for them. But there is a lot of room in getting fit for a proper shaft still, and then dialing in all of the weight settings etc...
