I agree but it is demonstrable that assuming dispersion remains the same it makes it easier to score if you have a 9 iron in instead of a 7 iron. It's the tiger effect
@@cthompson8405 How many 15-16 HCPs do you know swinging 115mph? 🤨 Dispersion was a bit ehh but was much better by the end of the fitting, which is the whole point bud.
Great job under the bright lights Andrew! I always geek out on a top notch fitter like Ian doing his thing. Looking forward to more of this fitting series!
I find it amazing that someone can take 70 (or more) swings with driver at FULL SPEED and still hit it that good towards the end. 2.4 handicap and I can barely hit 70 balls total, let alone 70 drivers. Another great fit and these are the videos from TXG that I love watching.
Kudos to Andrew - Can't be easy to bring a great swing into a You Tube set for all to witness and critique. Well done. I play off the same hcp as he does and I get nerves just watching let alone getting filmed.
He has an impressive move and plenty of speed. I think some of his stability issues are from him wearing flat Jordans and not lacing them. There’s no way his feet aren’t losing stability, affecting the consistency of his strike. I wish he had tied his shoes, or better yet had a more stable platform.
Ian, I see an MOI matching machine there! I used to fit and build clubs and for me it was the only way to build clubs properly. Swing Weight isnt a scientific method of measurment. We see pros sticking lead tape on their shorter irons to increase the SW because it feels too light. This is becasue D4 through a set isnt a feel, MOI is. I'd love to see you do a video on MOI fitting with irons. While I accept its not for everyone, I beleive that most iron shaft fittings feel better when MOI is in the right range. IDEA: Driver with shaft A and Shaft B. SW the same. Driver with shaft A and Shaft B. Moi the same. Drive with Shaft A in Regular and X flex SW the same vs MOI the same. I feel this would dive into what feel really is on a golf club. I'm convinced MOI matching is the only way to build clubs properly!
That was a lot of work moving a plethora of pieces of the puzzle around then putting them together to make the nuances of Andrew’s swing come together effectively. Softening up the negative effects of some of his misses was a job well done. Getting his miss left with a slightly closed club face to not pull left and down out of control (even with just 1,700rpm of backspin) was impressive.
So, I'll see you next year when I don't have to pay off the wedding and I can buy some new clubs! I love watching the improvements with these fittings. It's amazing how much changes with every small tweak
I wish that you We do more fittings like that It is so interesting On how you dial in a driver for somebody to make it perfect. Keep the good content coming. Hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving !!
Boys... This was a great start your new series and a terrific example of customizing a Driver and the Fingerprinting of a Fitting... Brillant result and I am getting over the disappointment of it not being "ME" ...... Keep us old Guys who Favour The "Heel" as the sweet spot in mind !!! LOL looking forward to the next episode... Cheers, Stuart
Guys, I’m a lower handicap but a slower swinger. I’ve been to multiple fittings and they always say they can’t do anything for me unless I swing faster. I don’t agree, I’d love to see you guys fit someone like me to show people how crucial a fitting can be to gaining distance
I have a Cobra F9 driver and a Cobra Aerojet driver. I hit them both about the same. 10 yd fade and my miss is a huge slice. Because I am much more accurate with my three wood I use it off almost all par 4 and par 5 tees. I also hit 10 yd fade with it but hit a lot more fairways. My three wood is Cobra flyz set at 13*. My driver's are both set at 8*. My clubhead speed is 100-105. I don't get the length I use to get. I am 59 yrs old 6'2" 300#. I have had six low back surgeries and right total knee replacement. The knee replacement seems to have cost me distance. I am right handed so that knee replacement is power side.
Tsr3 what more is there to say. Crazy how some people are so sensitive to shafts and others have little to no impact on their swing. Always entertaining lads
You guys are so professional and awesome . I'm going to buy a new driver this year after playing with the same club for many many yeas. I just hope that the fitters at the PGA superstore in my hometown of Orlando are somewhere close to the fitters you guys are. Thanks for the content as always .
Fascinating watching how the different shafts had such an affect. I'm am going for a fit next week, probably Ping G430 10k but now so tempted to try the TSR3.
Would love this, Went for a driver fitting today, no drivers helped, minus attack angle and spinning the ball between 3000/3500 rpm is robbing me distance, need lessons he said 😌
I was struggling with a two way miss. Made a conscious effort to take it back on the inside and swing in to out. Now hitting the high draw pretty consistently
I would recommend the following to the guy being fit -- Do not golf in high top shoes! it restricts ankle mobility and that does make a huge difference, especially if you are getting fit!
Good fitters 90% of the time get it very close on their first suggestion...as Ian said...back to the beginning and just play around with fine details and boom!!! #nailedit lol
You're absolutely right. Seasoned fitters have seen a lot of swings and know what can work and why. We also know that everyone is on a pitch count, so we always go for what will be what we think would improve your game the quickest... and then, try more and fine tune from there!
I love his street look with the hat on backwards and Jordan’s. This is the guy you want to play with at your country club. Will typically have a bottle of bourbon on him and a joint look!
Its wild how much swingweight affects some golfers. My brother can hit anything and his numbers stay the same. Me? At D1 Im a full 8-10 yards shorter than my normal D4 all the way through the bag.
Is Andrew not the perfect example of why amateur golfers shouldn't tinker? Get properly fit then work with the equipment you've been fit for. Having so many shaft options at home is just asking for trouble, have an off day on course and next thing you're at home changing shafts wondering if that was the reason for having an off day. Crazy
Man i want a proper club fitting in my clubs our golf shops never put the time in they dont have different shafts or different iron shafts longer or shorter to try . I always feel like i could get something better
was fit at callaway fitting center in richmond bc for a pershing low torque shat 3.4. played it until last year with amazing results.I had shaft creep last year and had the pro reglue and lo and behold i came out with a pershing ys6+ blue shaft and my original was black? I hit it descent so didn't complain but i cracked the face last yr after 14yrs playing and am trying to replace head and club. Carry was 240 with 260 ,270 roll out . Bought a callaway epic max with 9 with av 55 shaft now i am going 210 carry ?
Titleist sued Kirkland when the Kirkland balls initially came out in 2016 since they were so similar to ProV1s. Was settled and Kirkland stopped making the 4 piece balls that were so similar to ProV1s. Balls available no at Costco are a 3 piece ball.
I've been having a similar block fade creeping in. Did you end up with C3 - H2 on the surefit? I've been on D1 - N for a while, might have to give that tweak a shot!
Hi Ian. My driver spin is around 1900 chs is 104 and I hit it pretty straight. But everyone says 2500 is best spin numbers so confused. Getting fit next year and don't want a driver to go shorter cos of too much spin.
Does this guy change/tinker more/less than Ian 😂 This is soooooooo good but I'd imagine "tinkerers" are the bane of a fitter's existence one bad swing and suddenly the fitter was an idiot.
Ian I need your advice. I am 6,4" and wondering what shaft length I should have on my driver, and how much should I add on my irons? Used to play a 45" driver shaft, but switched to 46" last year and saw improvments. But could I go futher when I am my size?
Hi friend. It's impossible to know what length your irons need to be without actually seeing you swing and going through a fitting. We're thrilled to hear that you've seen improvements with your longer driver though. You could always go longer if you'd want to experiment, but keep in mind the governing bodies of golf (USGA and R&A) have both limited the max length of a driver to 46''.
I have kept my 909 D3 in the bag since 2010 because the improvement has only been about +5 yards of distance and dispersion decrease of 2 yards. Is that about the performance increase you would expect to see on a driver that old? Or think it is more because of poor fittings?
Why give a fitting to a person that has admitted to just putting in a shaft on a wim. You’ll give him shaft head combo that works for him to just go and put a different shaft in it maybe a week later
Ian/Mikey. Why was NOT Callaway in the mix ? It is awesome and more Distance Titleist will be. Also with his little Slice the AutoFlex would May bring it Back ( gold finish AutoFlex ) looks better. Lefty me has Callaway Epic Max LS with auto and that setup has straighten my baby SLICE plus kept me with the Young Pups. I hope Titleist is not putting pressure on you Two.
i wish u’d fit someone that doesn’t swing 115+ cause 99.9% of ur viewers won’t, this is useless (but ya looks “cool”) the more guys u can show hitting around 100 swing would actually be useful, then again maybe ur clientele are mostly scratch rich snobs 🤷🏻♂️
What am I watching here? A grown man with his shoes untied swinging for the fences then after what amounts to a very unscientific small sampling of drivers a decision is made that costs one thousand dollars.
