    I just bought a gaming computer with a 3080 GPU which I know is what GSPro recommends for an excellent 4K experience, but I have heard that you should buy a better card like the 4070ti so you will be ready for the future as the graphics on GSPro will be improving over time as they have in the past. Do you have an estimate for how long it will be, based on past experience, before the 3080 will not be a great GPU for 4K?

      There’s really no way I could say with any certainty. However, I did notice that the card I used to use ran out of steam on the newer more intense courses. The 3080 is such a good card, that even if you couldn’t run 4k, you will be able to run 1080 for a long time. If it was me, I wouldn’t sweat it.

    Good video 👍 Only one thing that’s incorrect and that’s the stiffness. I’ve worked in a big brands custom build and repair centre doing all sorts and any time you shorten a shaft you make it stiffer whether it’s from the tip or butt end. It’s due to taking away leverage so the shorter you make it the stiffer it gets and you can test this by having the head in one hand and grip on the other like you did here and as you move the grip hand further down the shaft and try and flex it the stiffer it gets. Once your hand is halfway down you’ll barely be able to flex it at all! Granted like you said adding weight to the head will make the shaft feel softer but because you’re shortening it, it’s just counteracting that so essentially it’ll feel similar to the original flex if not a little bit stiffer still. Hope all that makes sense!

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd 21 день тому

      Thanks for the thoughtful write up. I have to respectfully disagree as I am taking what I’ve shared from one of the best fitters in the world, Ian Fraser. As I say in the video, the grip end of the stiffest portion of the shaft if you remove this you decrease the overal stiffness. If you cut from the tip end, the weakest part of the shaft, you increase the stiffness. Hope this clears things up.

    • @the_full_english
      @the_full_english 21 день тому

      @@TheGolfNerd with the greatest of respect it is still wrong and Ian Fraser is wrong! Agreed the butt end is stiffer than the tip so when cutting the same amount off each it will not make it as stiff when butt trimming as opposed to tip trimming but it still makes it stiffer than the original length, that’s basic physics and to do with leverage and deflection. Below is a link to a really interesting video where a club builder has done such a thing with an uncut, butt trimmed and tip trimmed shaft and shows the differing measurements of stiffness… ua-cam.com/video/Juw6aCNlgDE/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared I’m not being pig headed it’s just good to know these things especially if you’re someone such as yourself who seems as interested in the technical side of golf as I am.

    @TimberTouchPutterworks 22 дні тому

    Thank you very much for the great review. We have seen such great response on our putters, which has made this last year a whirlwind. The thing you mentioned that has really set us apart (other than the absolutely beautiful looks of the putters) is how we can move the weighting SO much farther outward than other putters. Wood is 10X lighter than steel, so we can move the weights much closer to the outside of the putter vs mass made steel putters. This is what helps to make sure our putters hit consistent distances and straighter when hitting the ball off center. Thanks again for the great job and the best of luck in the future.

      @TheGolfNerd 25 днів тому

      Couple things. First, it’s the length and lie of a putter, which makes these shots markedly easier. Second, the sole of the club makes it very difficult to completely duff. Finally, the leading edge is very rounded and prevents digging. The loft is 42° so close to a modern pitching wedge. I’m sure the ping is great too but I haven’t used it. But for folks who need a little confidence boost in chipping, this thing is amazing.

    I am a lifelong Golf Pro. My trusty old clubs felt like I was at a disadvantage recently. With this encouragement I updated all of my clubs in groups. One group consisted of Driver, 1 iron, 2 iron, 3 iron. Following some research I replaced them with Ping 425. However I had the standard 3 wood shaft put in the Driver. I had a matching 3 wood shaft put into a new 7 wood. In the new 3 wood, I put a standard Driver shaft. I also added a 17* Hybrid. Results : Driver: I saw no measurable distance change. But my fairway percentage boosted from 69% to 78%. 3 wood : I hit the crap out of this club and its distance is nearly the same as the Driver. It's longer than the 1 iron it replaced, although it lacks the versatility. 7 wood : Another amazing performer, one that hits a high soft landing draw. Hybrid : This was the biggest surprise. This club is long and hits a low draw, bringing back some of the loss of versatility of the 1 iron. Overall Im thrilled with the changes. The G425 series are super easy to hit.

    I don’t usually have golf balls for more than a few holes before losing them. However, I tend to play 2 balls per hole which is good for comparison. For me Srixon AD333 goes so far, beat a Callaway power drive by about 30 yards. Smoked both. The Calloway was great for approaching shots and chips around the green. Kirkland was good off the tee but surprisingly I lost some distance on approach shots. Either that or had some crazy back spin? Not very scientific from me but I’m enjoying comparing shots and balls to see what combination suits me best. Will work up to better balls when my game improves. Would hurt donating multiple pro vs to the bushes at this moment in time. Calloway supersoft and Srixon AD333 have been decent so far for me as a high handicapper.

    Great review and I agree with you about walking the course, it is indeed quite enjoyable. Have you tried the big max Quattro yet or know anyone who owns one?

      @TheGolfNerd Місяць тому

      Thanks! I haven’t but I will say with 100% confidence, big max builds a very solid cart. I will be testing a new cart soon, so you may want to hold off, but it may be a few weeks.

      @@TheGolfNerd thank you for the response. The autofold and quattro is at a really good price at the moment which made me think of getting them. They are currently around $100 and im using a 2 wheel trolley so really, anything with one more wheel is an upgrade for me.

    I used your method and online calculator to determine my swing-weights, but I used an aluminum angle iron to find my balance point. I found this cheap swing-weight device at swingw.com ($34.95, free shipping). The first method got me pretty close, but the other device was a lot more accurate. As a 72-year-old golfer, my swing speed is typically in the high 80s & low 90s mph. I set my drivers at C8 swing weight which is the upper setting for women’s clubs. I cut my Callaway Rogue ST Max 10.5 (+2 for 12.5) to 44” length and an older Ping G15 10.5 to 43” length. I use the Ping as a mini driver for tighter fairways & short layups under 200 yards. I used Brampton Golf Lead Tape 1/2” x 100” (5 mil), easy to cut and apply. Where you apply the tape can affect the ball fly due to change of the CG.

      I wouldn’t call it a major issue, but it’s not my favorite. I usually only use the brake when absolutely necessary, otherwise I just position the cart so that it sits still. Having said all that, the simple fact is the cart is very well-made and should be at least on your list.

      @TheGolfNerd Місяць тому

      A 3 wood plays around 43.25”, if you put that in a driver, you’re at maybe 44” given head size difference? I think it’s just shorter than most want to go, but there’s certainly no harm in trying it.

  • @Scratch_Monsters_Golf
    @Scratch_Monsters_Golf 2 місяці тому

    Why not just remove length from the tip and then use a lighter grip so you can use the same shaft? Tipping fixes the decrease in stiffness that occurs and the grip addresses the swing weight change. Should eliminate all the other compensation you mentioned 🤓🤔

    • @TheGolfNerd
      @TheGolfNerd 2 місяці тому

      This is certainly one way to go. I’m not sold lighter grips really accomplish the same but I know theoretically they should. Just seems like results are mixed when you talk to golfers about lighter grips.
