High Handicap Driver Fitting | Sam 

Great to see some higher HC players being highlighted - please give us more of this.

This exactly where the industry needs to go in order to save the game of golf.... You would not believe the literal arguing I had to do with my local, (supposedly reputable pro shop), just to get fitted for a set of Ping Irons....It was almost as if I had more knowledge of the product, and the fitting process than the 35 year club fitting professional. It's refreshing to see guys like yourself helping the average golfer have more fun on the course.

This is one of the most enjoyable golf equipment videos I have seen. I always wondered why someone didn't show actual fitting seesions, edited for length of course. I would love to see a fitting for a senior golfer with decent swing mechanics but who has lost swing speed. Say an 8 to 10 handicapper, swing speed 85 or less. I would think it is hard to find a lot of extra distance at lower speeds, but it would be great to see what driver might give the most distance, and how much control has to be sacrificed to do it.

I have never had anyone work this hard with me to help me get the right club, great job.

Thanks guys. Sam is another version of me. As soon as I’m back, I’ll be seeing you for a fitting. Great advice and analysis!

What a great episode, to see what TXG can do with a mid to high handicapper. Great job boys. As a senior higher handicapper losing speed and distance I've wondered if there is anything that can bring back some real golf distances to my game. You guys have shown me that it's possible.

This absolutely illustrated the value of a proper club fitting for the biggest skeptics like me - a higher handicapper. Great video and thanks for mixing that in the playlist.

These are the best fitting videos on RU-vid period.

What a great vid. I’m now moving to Canada to get fit.

😨Just shows how important club fitting is!! Been playing for 33yrs and never been fitted Thanks for the great video.

as a mid handicap player, I found this video to be really helpful in understanding what goes into a proper fitting and makes me really want to consider getting a PROPER fitting! My TS3 will do me well for now, but the way the new tech is coming about is highly impressive!

Goosebumps after seeing that gentleman. Well done! What a change.

The best golf video I've seen. I can't believe how much I learned. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! There are way more of us bogey players (15 - 25 hcp) out there than you can imagine. This type of video is exactly what we need. I will never purchase another club again without a fitting. Can hardly wait for the rest of the series with Sam.

I am getting fit for my driver tomorrow night. If I don't see the info as you described and some moderate improvement I will try for a second opinion. The information you provided Sam and the feedback was inspiring. Thanks for the video. I may also look for flights to Toronto!

Another amazing video! These higher handicap videos really show what a proper fit can accomplish! I'm currently a 16 and learn more with every new video...

Wow, what a remarkable level of improvement by moving the player into the appropriate club setup. +50yrds in total distance improvement....that is an absolute gamechanger! I have never seen any fitter deliver that amount of improvement in a player without any dramatic swing change. TXG is CLEARLY the best golf fitting outfit in the business. For sure, I will be getting up to Toronto later this year!

I just discovered this channel a couple of days ago, and I think the quality of the content is excellent, surpassing all the other golf channels that I follow on RU-vid. I have 22 handicap and his fitting process with Sam has made me think that I should do the same since it would help me solve the same problems in my game (Driver, Wood 3, and long irons). Thanks for sharing so much knowledge. I wish you all of the success.

Loved this video. All of TXG videos are great but the difference between an improper and proper fit is such a game changer - I hope every golfer can comprehend why this process is so important and an absolute must if you are serious about your game.

Wow! That was eye-opening for me. I've always wondered about club fitting but have put it off, figuring I could solve the problem myself with just a little more work. But in the age of analytics your data did not lie. Your precision of analysis (and the resultant improvement in his accuracy and distance) speaks for itself. Well done and so informative! The data you supplied and the awesome way of working with the data and the golfer step-by-step to maximize his ability was awesome. Keep up the great work. Now, to find a GOOD club-fitter in my area!

The difference is huge. It’s a real pleasure To watch these videos. Thankyou!

Wow by far one of the best fitting videos I've seen, fantastic guys gee I wish you were down here where I live I'd be your first client. Keep up the good work TXG.

what a great fitting again. The result is so awesome. He Gaines so many yards in distance with less miss hits. His confidence will furthermore increase with this results and produce even better hits. Great great great!!!

Wow that was a good video that a lot of golfer would enjoy and benefit from seeing. Just show how a self fitting and self assessments go that us golfer go through trying to fitting ourselves into something we think we need rather than going get fit be a good quality fitter. Prof is in the numbers. GO GET FITTED!!! Great video guys!!!!

This is quite amazing. I have been watching your videos only recently and am now convinced that club fitting is really worthwhile. All i have to do now is find someone in my locality who is as experienced and knowledgeable as you. FAB 👍👍👍

Guys - great video. You guys inspired me to get a driver fitting because I am a high spin player. Currently in a 10.5 2016 M-2 with an old Speeder 57 shaft. Yesterday, I spent an hour and $100 and walked away disappointed because we could not find anything that improved on my M-2 and my 3,500 RPM spin. M-3 gave best results but only a couple of yards. The fitter did not have many of the newer drivers, any of the lower spin versions and very few shaft options (stock only). I have a 96 mph driver swing speed, play to a 4 handicap and can only get 215-220 carry and 235 total. Angle of attack seems to be a problem. Thank goodness I am pretty good with the irons. Sure wish that you guys were within driving distance but Canada's a long way from Alabama.

That was how a fitting should be.So many golfers walk out of a store thinking they have been custom fit, when in reality they have been sold one of the OEM's offerings that probably are not the best combination for that individual. In effect they walk out of the store leaving yards and accuracy behind and a big hole in their wallet.

Fantastic. You guys are Golf gurus. So people throw conventional wisdom out the window. Anything is possible in the hands of experts. Your knowledge is amazing. Cheers

Another great job! Love the way you give us what we ask for, now its time for a 65+ that's losing distance and club speed. Was fit last year to a Titleist 917 D2, 10.5* with 1" shorter stock Diamante 60 shaft. You are convincing me to get refitted when I get back from a golf trip mid April.

This is the most incredible video i have ever witnessed, the only bad thing is ill never get to meet anyone like you and experience a fitting like that. I envy that man

Wow what a difference. I am definitely getting fitted next time I get a driver.

WOW! I am sooo glad I came across this video. I'm a beginner golfer and this fitting session was VERY educational and revealing for me - my current shot spread is very similar to Sam's. I've been hesitant to book a fitting session, but your video has convinced me that I could really benefit from one. Great job, and thank you!

That's the most amazing fit I've ever seen, wish I could find guys like you over here in the UK. Remarkable.

Just awesome guys. Your knowledge is exemplary in the fitting process. Could listen to you two for hours, so Educational! Hats off to Sam and so pleased to see such an improvement. I’m having my first ever driver fitting tomorrow (in the UK) 🇬🇧 can’t wait....

I’ve watched this video probably 7 times now, just love everything about this. I miss the Duo!

Excellent video and fitting. Really wish there was a club near Cincinnati that offered this type of relationship. Everywhere offers the fitting however to maintain the fitting relationship the period the player plays the driver is simply awesome

Wish you lads were in the UK. I struggle massively with my driver and I am scrambling from the tee most rounds. I’ve been fitted for my irons and putter and after watching this video I’m booking up to get sorted.

Love having the high handicappers... So much more relatable...thank you

This was awesome. Can you guys do more high handicap fittingS?

This video is awesome! I am learning club fitting myself right now and I have taken so much from your fittings. GREAT insight and explanations. Starting to feel more confident in myself and my work. Thank you! @txg

This was certainly one of the best fitting videos i've seen...I really wish i could experience your fittings here in Malaysia...Keep up the amazing work....

Love the concept of showing higher HC players, whether during a fitting or a lesson. We are the bulk of the viewers after all.

I could watch videos like this all day!!! Nearly 45 yards of carry distance difference from start to finish is ridiculous and just shows how much the wrong equipment can have a negative affect on your game (and handicap) Keep up the good work 👍

If THAT swing can roll em 250+ there's Hope for all of us!

Great video! Love the comments of what’s going on in Sam’s Head! I love the amount information that you guys give!

Great video showing how important (and impressive) a good club fitter is to the enjoyment and personal success in golf.

Great fit! I hope we get an update on Sam's experience/possible handicap drop if he decides to game this set up this season.

Great information enjoy the video. Looking at getting the bag fitted.

I can't stop watching y'all. Love it.

What a great fit there Ian.The confidence in Sam began to surge into his shots as every change you made created better results!!

Great video guys. I try to be a student of the game and keep up with the latest equipment and performance theories. I have to say, I have learned so much after discovering your channel. Glad I found you.

Wow. Really cool seeing a 20 handicap making such advancements from a club fitting. I’m around the same and always thought club fitting was just for people who were way better. Makes me want to come up from the states to have you guys fit me!

Awesome video chaps! True scholars and gentlemen you are! Great to see some comedy squeaking its way in. Shawn Clement, aka Skinny Will Ferrell has got a great instruction-based channel in that respect. He also reminds me of the hilarious Mr. D (for the 57 Canadians who've watched that show). If I were writing a mini review - which I'm apt to do, being so impressed with the quality of the videos and the discourse within them - this is how it might read: It's difficult to put into well-phrased words just what Matt's contribution to the videos is, but it is significant. He's instrumental in adding depth, without stepping on Ian's toes or taking over, and he's really helped to turn the already soft sell of getting a fitting, into nothing more than a purely logical decision... For golfers of All skill levels. It's like he's your average chill dude down the block 'everyman' (except for his ball striking), but a sharp one who asks the right questions, gives insightful comments, offers up his own analysis for critique, all with a playful attitude, which makes for a very watchable half hour. There's a lot of stuff to know, and I get the feeling from watching the videos that Matt wants to be/certainly can be a fitter, being proficient already, and learning the tech deeper by the day... But all in all, that even he knows he hasn't totally internalized it all yet, like Ian and the other fitters likely have. His top quality in my observation, is that he seems to have a solid instinct for, and understanding of, how skeptical people may think in a given situation, and is aware enough to preemptively and logically dispel any potential issues people may take with how the data/fitting is organized. When you pair Matty with Ian's pure charisma, data analytics, and Shaolin master club fitting/equipment knowledge, that's a winning combination that we are all benefiting from!!!! Keep up the content you champions!

Well done gents! Another great example of the process and the results that can be achieved. We need more fitters and stores willing to take the time to dial these things in.

Another great video. I’m so jealous of the service you provide. Every ‘fitting’ I’ve ever had felt more like a ‘fitting up’ 🤨

I’m literally falling more in love with you guys by the video. I cannot wait until the border reopens!

well done video boys! Great to see your knowledge of the older ping product and that by cutting the shaft, it really made a huge swing weight change. Most fitters wouldn't check the specs of your clubs before they start fitting you. Top class fitting!

That's what a fitter should be doing every time , very professional , those guys know their stuff ! Awesome

I've become a huge fan of your vids guys and you've educated me and set a seriously high bar of what I would be expecting from a driver fitting!

Never had a handicap or fitting for clubs .Always played just socially but am having lessons now and want to kick on . Really interested in fitting but never thought I was good enough. Now I know I can and am going to get fitted this year . Love your high handicap vids.

Mate!!!! That's how a fitting is done!!! The level of confidence he would have got from that would be a game changer.

This is probably the most underrated videos out there! What a fantastic video. I truly believe all fits should be as much of a lesson as a fit like you guys did. I’m seriously debating saving up and coming to you guys next year!

Superb Vid Guys and Way to Go BOOM BOOM Sam! I bet Sam was floating on air when he left your shop. Looking forward to more fittings with higher handicaps.

Incredible video of how you helped Sam potentially change his whole round of golf now! 👍

It's really cool that you can come back and change your club setup over time. That was a hesitation for getting fit in the past for me. I wanted to get my swing in better shape before spending the money on fitting, thinking I would need to pay to get fit a second time if I didn't get my swing together first.

Great video! Loved how you were explaining everything to the person being fitted. Wish there was this type of fitting quality were I live

my favorite golf channel on youtube. thanks guys!!

Great video guys. Nice to see a mid high handicap fitting, especially when the hits are varied in the face contact.Make me want to schedule a fitting!

Sam's wallet came out of his pocket faster than a wild west gun-slinger!

Fantastic work from everybody involved, not least the golfer! This was the most interesting fitting video I have seen, thank you.

Amazing professional service. Wish Toronto was closer!

I wish I could come visit you guys. Just found your channel and binge watching everything it's fantastic

Videos with Sam are great fitting information. I play mixed bag of new and used clubs with brands being Mizuno, Ben hogan, and tour edge. Never knew lie angles could affect that much and that each brand has their own lie angles.

Best fitting video I've seen all year, a pity such service isn't available in SA. I've been for fittings which were hopelessly unuseful to my game

Phenomenal. Crazy to see what being properly fit is capable of changing. Keep it up gents.

Refreshing to see a high handicap player in a fitting, now for irons, great thanks

Great video and I really like that you are listening to the viewers requests. Keep up the good work!

Definitely gonna get fit for my driver and putter at TXG after watching there videos and reading about all the technology they use!

He can hit dead straight, to draw, shots if he fixes his grip. Seeing these videos makes me want to come to Canada to get fit. Love the videos, guys!!

Great tempo right there Sam , so consistence , ive learned a LOT about the importance of dynamic loft

The gains for this player are incredible! Superb work lads!

Awesome video guys! I was actually thinking about shortening my driver but this really made me think twice about it. I’m now going to wait till i take some lessons this spring and see what my coach says about it. Thanks again for the great videos!

incredible professionalism, keep up the good work!

Great video/results and kudos to Sam for putting himself out there and getting fit on camera!

Much better video than the switch stance video. Really nice to see you work through the process. Great work boys!

Brilliant, if only all fittings are this professional 👏

Thanks Sam. As the more I learn about this fun game the more I realize that relationship of your teaching professional and master fitters is a better blend for us who spend our hard earned dollars on equipment and lessons. They very much need to transcend to two distinct streams of expertise, not to say you couldn't master both. Anyway back to finding flights to Toronto .... That looked just too fun of an experience.

I am absolutely convinced. I will be getting my driver fitted this year. If I can get half of the improvement Sam got I will be thrilled.

While I think I know a lot of this, really enjoyed the journey, the data, and seeing Sam's face at the end. Awesome.

Guys I’m wishing you every success... I am so impressed I your informative vids .... wish I could visit from England . I suspect that your subscribers are going to rocket over the next few weeks , months , years 👍🏻👍🏻 Thankyou

I'm looking at getting back into golf after 10yrs off after having 8 knee surgeries, and this video has changed my thinking about getting clubs fitted to help me improve, and how that can help with club face and ball flight. thanks.

Just a superb video to watch. Your whole series provides great insight into the thought process of fitting. I was truly impressed with Tom Wishon's video series, and still am, as his technical knowledge is leading edge. You provide that level of information also, but improve upon it by allowing viewers to actually see how you transfer that data into a fitting.

50 yards off the tee and in the middle of the fairway......take my money!

Excellent video and great information. I have a better understanding of the data provide by the swing monitors/simulators. Unfortunately I feel I have been rushed through the fitting process in stores because they want to get you out of there in a hurry. For the average Joe, if we see any gain in distance we buy it... For this guy to gain 10 mph in club head speed in a fitted driver is incredible!... And who would have recommended or thought to lower the driver loft for a high handicapper. Understanding dynamic loft and static loft put together with spin rates is a very good lesson learned... Your competitors will probably not like this video... I also like the fact that as this guys swing improves he will most likely need another adjustment... I very much like the fact that you built the club to his current (consistent) swing and not to a change your swing to fit this club... Good job and thanks for posting this video...

Whether you are a single digit, or a 20 handicapper, give these guys a follow! Lots of great tips and videos! I got a chance to get out to their Burlington location a couple weeks back. Great Facility and staff.

Wow!!! That's awesome evidence on how proper fitting helps dramatically..

This is truly amazing what good clubfitting will do for someone!!!

I am a firm believer in getting fit. I struggled off the tee and could hit my 17 degree hybrid further than driver and I bought five drivers a years searching for that lost distance. My average was low 220s and now it is around 250 after I was fitted and my misses are much less left. Great video guys and wish you were here in the states. I love the comment about forming long term relationships with your customers.

Wow a definite game changer, something I would love to do, I'm jealous as well..great job guys and Sam!

Great fitting guys, this was a huge improvement over Sams ping I30 driver. Great video and happy holidays, stay safe.
