First Iron Fitting - Mid Handicap Player 

This is one of the most violently athletic swing I’ve ever seen. No way this is sustainable. My back is sore just watching him 😂😂😂😂

I have rarely if ever seen anybody hit a 7-iron that hard 😂😂. Crazy club speed.

Agreed with commentors. He needed a lesson more than he needed a fitting, although the regular shafts are not helping. Tons of early extension here and swinging for the rafters. If he dialed it back he would get that smash factor up and probably hit it the same distance. Crazy speed for a 7 iron.

Damn this dude can hit a golf ball!

there is no way on this earth he needs to be using a “game improvement club” maybe one with a little forgiveness yes but he’s already got the horse power and distance. His current gamer was way better than the other clubs interns of dispersion and let’s be fair who needs to hit a 7 iron any further than 177 carry… Surely the fitter should send him away with his current clubs…

All He needed was to keep his old clubs, but bend the clubs maybe 1 degree upright and done. It seems his current gamers are too flat for him and that’s the reason he is missing right. Nothing wrong with your 7 iron going 175+. That’s actually ideal for gapping.

The new 7 irons are 2+ degrees stronger loft that most older clubs. That’s why he’s hitting further, for starters anyways

this just makes me wish I was younger.

Sometimes you are more consistent when you swing at 90%. This guy was swinging as hard as possible on every shot.

I wonder if he was swinging harder at the fitting than he normally would. I didn’t see what his current clubs are but with that distance and dispersion he should stick with current irons.

Currently gaming stealth irons and have them 1 degree upright and I'm able to draw and fade the ball

I've watched a ton of youtube videos comparing irons. I've never seen dispersion as good as his current irons. Ever. I dream of being that consistent. Anyone know what his current irons are? Not that I'm assuming they would be a magic bullet for me but I'm really curious.

His shots with his own irons had a much tighter grouping. This is why I have yet to go get fitted for clubs. Spend tons of money just to end up with a product that gives you distance but kills your accuracy. He is also SMASHING that 7 iron. If he hits like that on the course, he should be playing scratch golf. If he's still shooting in the 80's with that swing, he needs work on his short game. Yes I am preaching to the choir because I have a similar issue. I

The guy doing the monitoring is cool and so informative Where is he located I wonder The young man hitting states he plays in the 80s wonder where in his game he struggles because hes a hitting machine

Would standard lofts be better like you get with blades ? Maybe titleist T100 irons

Nice swing for a 10 handicap. Great fitting video

Im just watching this to study his swing

Keep the clubs you have and stiffin your shafts.

Did you try him in different shafts? Surely most of those heads are so similar but playing with shaft weight and balance would be the majority of the time?

to me, his first shots, with his own clubs were virtually perfect...with guaranteed accuracy like that, why change anything...???

Great video.

Not convinced by this fitting. Alec's problem is mostly path and face control, he is swinging a little to the right but with his existing set of irons his face was mostly around 4* open to the path. That is a recipe for the ball going right and spinning up. Unquestionably some of that lack of control would be down to the shaft. For someone who can swing a 7i at 101 mph the last thing he needs is a power bat. I can understand the wish to have more forgiveness but IMO he should play more traditional lofts (maybe something like i210 or Miz 223s), and with his speed he might even be able to play an extra stiff shaft. I would experiment with the weight of shaft to see if that has an effect - not everyone reacts the same way to weight changes. I would be less concerned about peak height and spin - Alec's swing is just so fast that he is bound to get a lot of spin. From Trackman an average tour pro swings the 7i at 90 mph, gets just over 7000 rpm of spin, a launch angle of 16.3* and a peak height of 96 ft. Alec is over 10% faster than the average tour pro! What Alec needs to work on is path and face control, maybe a slightly steeper angle of attack and definitely needs more forward shaft lean to launch the ball lower (stiffer shaft should help).

When hit 5 balls in a row within 10 feet, at that height and distance, close the laptop and walk away. If anything, this screwed this kid up.

His own clubs looked fine and he said would stop when hitting the green. Aim left of the target and he’s playing I nice push fade within 20 yard dispersion.

A 10 handicap who usually shoots in the “high 80s”? How does that compute?

His old clubs are golden for him! There is obviously a reason why he has not gone to a fitter before, there is no need. I do wonder though that if he is that consistent, why the steady slight push? With that level of obvious skill even a slight adjustment to stance or grip should fix such a static error. Additionally why swing the irons like a driver...? I would go a 80% 5 iron over 95% 7 every day all year, should he do that, he would be + handicap. Perhaps he plays different, but then why do that in a fitting? when the goal is to tune in your clubs for course use... Anyhow that is superb athletic swing and he should treasure his clubs that support it!

with that swing speed he doesn't need an iron fitting he needs Kyle Berkshire

Give me some of this kids speed, incredible, 7 iron 200yds?

How come the ball is drifting to the right on all his iron shots? The reason am asking because that’s my problem now and I can’t get it straight I don’t hit it as far as him like but ay he is getting some yards for an average person congrats to that👍🏻

🤔 Shooting upper 80's and is a 10 HC ?? Shouldn't that be more 15-16 ?

It’s a 5 iron with the juiced lofts so distance seems right.

Are these stock shafts? Dude needs the stiffest flex you can get with low spin , low launch. That ball height is ridiculously high.

Why súper game - improvement He has BETTER than Tour speed stats? He can probably use 770s or i230s

Is a 1.44 smash factor good? I hit a 7 iron and 4 iron and 1.44 was my average smash factor.

What’s the on course numbers… opposed to perfect lord pinchin off a mat? Not a fitter but is there any bias results mat vs turf

sorry but it seems these results were not better then what he was originally gaming... the results were worse in terms of how the balls were dispersed. and the onyl reason they are going longer is the fact the stealth irons are heavily strong lofted with 7iron at 28deg.

Can a 18 handicap get a iron set fitting ?

Why a stiff shaft and not an x flex?

How does he shoot in the high 80s, What? 102mph club speed on a 7 iron on his first swings of the year? his strike was consistent enough for a more players style club and speed was certainly there.

How in the heck does he shoot high 80s with that swing and dispersion ..It is hard to believe he is not shooting 70s to low 80s. Something goes out on him somewhere when he plays ..

100mph so really good for a 10 hc.

How in gods name can a player hit a 7 iron over 200 yards(optimal) and shoot high 80s?

Sorry but I’d call a mid handicap between 8 to 18 and if you are your not looking at power bats

Why are you giving this guy game improvement irons when he has that much speed he dosent need pressed lofts in my opinion now I’m not a fitter

Geez

Just needs to go to stiff shafts instead of reg.

swings way too hard . have some tempo

Same way I can..with an awful short game

“Mid handicapper” That swing speed? His short game must suck

10 hcp, mid handicap????

12000 spin rate

Blades would be better to take off some distance

Before you do anymore with the clubs,....go back to what he is gaming. The problem is in his body setup and direction when taking his stance. Looked a bit open with the left foot turned way out front.

Mid handicap my butt!

Before changing clubs, flatten yours to limit the fade and see how that works first.

He must be the worst putter on the planet if he isn't scoring in the 70's on a regular basis. Or he is wild as it gets with the driver and is constant trouble.

Not seeing a need for new clubs here....but i'm not a paid PGA Professional.

That's the problem with a fitting, you get tired

Im sorry, but this video makes no sense. He finished with the same shot shape, but a much worse dispersion? Simply putting a line stick on the floor and teaching him to play with his shot shape makes much more sense to me.

needs to slow down just a bit

bollocks made him worse.

Ruined his golf game lol 😆 , nice swing iam not jealous much.

Shocking fitting, putting a guy with that much speed in game improvement irons. Should have put him in traditional lofts with a lower spinning shaft to bring his distance and height down somewhat. Terrible

If he’s 10 handicap his short game must be awful.

5 shots in its clear he can’t putt and has an awful short game. 😂

The problem this guy has is he believes that these guy's know what they are doing and fitted iron's will make him a better golfer WRONG.

Horrendous fitting, this guy has no clue what he’s talking about All the golfer needed was 1 maybe 1.5 degree upright and a shaft to bring his spin down to about 6800 and a descent angle in the 40s Most benefit would be for the golfer to work on his attack angle, swing path and club face relative to swing path.

I play off 7 and im 50 years old and I use taylormade stealth hd irons they are so easy to hit why make golf harder by putting a set of blades in the bag and suffer with your game 🏌🙂👍
