@huddwah 27 дней назад

Great analogy with shoes or clothes... This really nails it in many ways when considering a shaft... You want something that feels right... Sometimes what it says on the label just really isn't right for you, other times you can get away with it and it really comes down to a smaller margin of comfort and feel... But ideally you try a few and find exactly what works best for you in terms of comfort feel and function 👌

@shaneWARs1 24 дня назад

The problem is most golf stores even some of the big ones dont carry different shafts the only carry the different flex stock shafts and its a gamble upgrading a shaft that you never hit.

@stuartbain3353 29 дней назад

Got fitted by one of the best fitters in the UK. spent £900 and it’s ok. Yesterday took delivery of a mini driver. Used today for the first time. And the thing is a cheat stick!! Off the shelf I was finding more fairways. And still long off the tee. 😊

@nellyandbert 28 дней назад

It’s important to get fit for a shaft as well as a head ,but it’s important to set the launch monitor correctly too ,you can’t carry the ball 300 plus yards with a 110 mph swing and 162 ball speed ,that’s more like a 270/275 carry with roll out to somewhere around 300 yards .

I have a swing speed of 120 mph and don’t even come close to 300 carry

@wessims3412 29 дней назад

The carry distance is important, however, there is only about 3 yards distance difference overall in the shafts in reality because you hit your next shot from where the ball finishes, not from where it carries to. Nobody picks up their golf ball and takes it back to where it landed to hit it, you hit it from where it finishes. so with those numbers, there’s really only about 3 yards difference between the shafts, but I do agree it is important to have the correct shaft and there is drastic differences in the performance and the feel with many other shafts more dramatically

@joewalker6931 29 дней назад

So why not two shafts. One that would yield more potential for carry for wet conditions (higher launcher shaft) and one that has more potential for roll out during harder conditions lower launching shafts). Just a thought I maybe way off. Haha.

@TheflyingkiwiRC 29 дней назад

I agree. Over all the numbers were close and under normal outdoor conditions how you're swinging on the day is going to matter more than the difference in these shafts. Even the spin rates were close.

@paulknowles9727 18 дней назад

Thanks Matt. Disappointed you haven't really gone into the Kick Point on the shafts. this can play a massive part in the makeup and if often missed. as an example I prefer the kick toward the handle. I use a Ping g30 SF Tec in stiff but to be honest I've not even checked the sped of the shaft, but most recently I've managed several 300+ driver shots using Wilson Duo balls. There's defo more to the shafts for sure.

@davidknox4702 29 дней назад

Think you overestimate the quality of fitting an amateur golfer can get without paying over the odds 🤷

@kravdraa7 29 дней назад

This is all well and good, but most club golfers have neither the time, the money, nor the opportunity, to delve into the options and get the 'perfect shaft'. You would have to find an outlet that would offer the time, have all different options, and then have the money to buy the one they recommend. It simply isn't going to happen. It has become ridiculous and would astonish the likes of Tom Morris. In his day a shaft was a shaft was a shaft! It's only become 'a thing' since the advent of carbon fibre and is, for the majority, undoubtedly mainly advertising hype. Furthermore, shouldn't the onus be on the manufacturers to match the shaft to the declared specification? You can't call them all the same and then for them all to be different. In much the same way as the example of shoes: a size 9 should be a size 9. To discover they vary means the manufacturers are getting it wrong, no more, no less. Finally, 309.5 yards of carry? Yeah, right. This oft-repeated nonsense from these launch monitors needs to stop. Unless, of course, you're claiming to be matching the world's very top tour professionals in your driver performance...

@adamsimpson6651 25 дней назад

Great video Matt! It’s so true. My R flex felt way too hippy, so I bought an X flex and it’s like swinging an iron bar!

@SaltyDogPerformance 26 дней назад

I use an Ai Smoke TD 9° set to standard with weights in standard setting. I have an AV white 65 gram stiff shaft in it and I swing at 112-115 on the course. I use it for straight balls and fades. I also have a TSR3 9° all set to standard with an AV black 1k 65 gram stiff for when I want to work a little bit of a draw. I wasn’t fitted for either driver. I did research on the shafts and I know what profile I want and the feel I want. X flex feels like total crap for me on a lot of shafts. However, the shafts I use feel stiffer than friends of mine that use Graphite Design Tour AD X stiff shafts. They try to hit my drivers and immediately notice they feel stiffer. I’ve tried premium shafts, but none of them made an improvement over my stock shaft options.

@jordnottringBeraGMS 24 дня назад

sold my "old" ping g430 MAX .. fitter i had when i bhought it wanted me to go for a alta cb 55 S if i remember correct. worked first year, next year i could not control my driver at all ( slice )there for i did not use driver at all.. ( first year of golf vs 2th year ) now as i finish up on the second year of golf i tried the new Titliest GT line up on a fitting event. and i told him fit me with any shaft no matter the cost. to really try to see what it could do for me.. got fitted into a GT3 with a ventus blue 7S shaft. and oh boy was it a difference.. 230 meters total with ping, 260 meters total ( with good strikes and straight ) it just feels so much easier to swing the club, the shaft feels lighter to me.. but its heavier which is pretty wierd. if you already don't mind paying for a brand new club. then really look into shafts as well.

Matt I Really enjoy your videos but I've a question I'm also going to ask of Rick and Pete. Lessons before club fitting??? Why buy new "Hardware" when your "Software" is not right.

@PetSKi67 25 дней назад

What kind of a Hzrdus was it? I’ve had Hzrdus Smoke Yellow, in 76 g 6.0. I think it is the counter balanced version. So, it is not as simple as it seems, cause the total weight makes huge difference in affecting your rythm. However it seems now, after a proper fitting a touch too flexible to me. And I got on with a Ventus Blue 7-X.

Matt what elevation do you have the launch monitor set on? Asking because my numbers are almost identical to yours but launch 13-14 not 14-15. My carry averages 277 unless I try to get after one and get closer to 170 ball speeds. Curious if I should try to get an extra degree of loft or if you’re just at 5k elevation. Thanks mate!

@A1BASE 20 дней назад

I’m a huge data nerd, but I’ll be the first one to say that for the most part it’s gotten out of control for amateur golfers. A 2% difference isn’t worth the time or money for the average golfer. Spend the money to go and PLAY more golf. Get a few lessons. That will have a much bigger impact on your score than incremental equipment changes that only really matter if you’re seeking the top 1% of performance increases and have the consistent swing to back it up.

@jamendetvarjukul 25 дней назад

Remember - what fits Matt best might not be for you, the result for you could be completely different, otherwise everyone would be using the same shaft.

But the the differencees are minor. You will adjust to it. It's more like wine, if you try 10 different bottles, you will taste some differences and you will choose one. But if I let you try a month later one of the wine alone you're not able to recognize it anymore.

@blue24563 29 дней назад

Absolutely correct. Theres no difference in these numbers when considering the ball speed. Golf clubs are just a tool. You get used to the tools you use and they become comfortable. There’s no such thing as ‘the wrong club’

@@blue24563 Thats a bad take imo.. Yes, some minor differences can be adjusted to. And also yes, most people would probably get fit into a slightly different club(s) every month they tried (thats those minor differences at play). But if you gave someone some blade irons at +1" and 2* flat that needed -.5" and 2* upright in a more 'player friendly' iron, that guy is going to hate golf quickly

@@Itheral not really.

@blue24563 29 дней назад

@@Itheral not really. The length of clubs is irrelevant. And the tolerance of flat/upright is often 2 degrees according to manufacturers so a club sold as 1 degree flat could actually be 1 degree upright. Plus, if they are forged clubs they will change over the course of a few rounds anyway.

OK, correcto-mundo, getting the right shaft (for a driver) makes a difference. But why don't you talk about the shafts you are using when you test out irons?? Here it always seems that all that matters is what the clubhead can do. Well, it can't do nuthin' without the right shaft for that player. Sorry, but you and your peers are notoriously derelict in sharing shaft info (what works for you might not work for me) for your iron reviews.

@philipcarson6768 27 дней назад

A very well reasoned presentation. It’s over optimistic to assume that average amateurs will be able to test multiple shafts and the more specialist items could put cost up prohibitively. As an example my shaft is Kai li 60s and I like it. Fell and numbers are good for my speed. I tried a friend’s driver with a TX 60 tensei orange 1k and it felt and performed superbly with fantastic dispersion. I would argue that a fitter would never suggest that shaft for me so I may miss out. That shaft would cost £300 and in afraid I wouldn’t be ordering one purely because of cost

@richdarlowgolf 25 дней назад

The Mitsubishi shaft stood out to me because of its accuracy; much lower side spin ; lower peak height and similar overall distance. More distance is useless if you're constantly playing out of the hay or the sticks...
