Club fittings for these higher handicap players are so much more satisfying to watch than for the low handicap players. I love how much these guys can help someone by fitting them into better fitting equipment.
Hands down the best golf content on UA-cam
Arin S I agree. It’s nice to see them showing fittings for variety of clubs and how another commenter mentioned that it makes improvements. Improvements = shaving strokes. A lot of viewers that come on UA-cam should come watch this and learn that fitting a lone can help their game and how too much “how to swing videos” can actually do a lot of harm. This is how work smarter, not harder can really apply to people’s game! Glad that I stumbled upon this channel. Subscribe!
Arin S very professional but my god does it feel cold and soulless in there. And the customer just standing there isolated with nothing to do ... just fit the guy already.
I agree but I also like rick shields golf
this channel
, and the combo of Rick Shiels and Peter Finch , i also enjoy Mark Crossfield but I put him slightly behind TXG and Shiels Finch
It's just too bad this level of expertise is not available to more players in other regions. Beautiful work guys!
I’m starting to think that the money I’d spend to get to Toronto to see you guys would be made up over the course of a season by the on-course betting losses I could avoid!! Will be most interested in an update from Sam later this year about how he’s getting on. Thanks guys!!
Agreed!!
I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me
Love these fitting videos. Ians fitting knowledge is like watching an artist paint a picture. Looks like I have to make a trip to Canada for a proper fitting!
I had to comment and mention that besides the knowledge that you guys are imparting, it seems that the overall kind demeanor and positive attitude you guys have is effecting Sam. I feel like he started becoming more and more confident, and also proud that you guys were able to change his game so drastically. Hats off to you guys, I would love to see Sam's face when he goes out to the green and gets that next birdie tap in. 🐦
Never ceases to amaze me the knowledge from these guys love it
You guys are absolute studs. Flying there from the US for a fitting seems like the best move for me!
I swear before I turn 40, I should get a full bag fitting from you guys!
Turned 50 here and going to see them in the summer. I cant wait !!!!
Another aspect of fitting that rarely gets looked at. Since most of our shots are close to the green, this merits more scrutinization than we normally give it. The effort put in to the mat is also a novel thing. Excellent on all counts, gents!
I am impressed you have a custom mat for wedge fittings! Great job as always
Great video! Loving the high handicap fitting series in general.
Really speaks to the fact that I don't have to be a low-handicapper to get some advantage from a proper fitting!
I thoroughly enjoy this channel. The fitting detailed conversation along with the before and after data is awesome. I’m working to get scheduled with Ian now and have no second thoughts about investing the additional money in travel expenses from Maryland. Super job guys!
I would love to see Sam's HCP improvement by season end.
Great explanation of bounce and relevance to a wedge fitting. Well done.
I went to the CBX2 from Cleveland for my wedges. Best decision I’ve made.
I’m looking at them myself
Do you have an issue with tight lies and do they spin the same
Sean Armao they spin the same, just let’s chance of thinning it. I love my current Cleveland so for me I don’t think I can go wrong with a cavity back.
Harz77 not really. But I do play them a little back of center to make sure I don’t thin it. Not as great of spin as my old vokeys. Another issue I have is not being able to open the face for bunkers and really short shots around the green. I actually went back to SM7 58* but kept the other CBX as a pitching wedge.
Great video guys, so many reasons why wedges shouldn’t be taken for granted.
I just bought wedges a few months ago and I regret not getting fit. I wish I saw this video then . Great stuff guys.
I love your videos! This is my favorite of the 100's of yours that I've watched. Because you did the fitting with an average player, it was fascinating to watch your expertise. I have been fitted for clubs, but it was nowhere as precise and well done as this. I love the game and would sure love to experience something as precise as this fitting. Having the correct tools in your hand as a golfer is so important, yet it is so unavailable to most of us. A usual fitting is so limited in time and expertise (such as yours) that we leave the fitting in no better shape than when we enter. Such a pleasure to watch your expertise and help.
I am going to go out on a limb and predict that this channel will have over one million subscribers in the near future! I see that Rick Shiels has 312k subscribers and Mark Crossfield has 252k subscribers. This UA-cam channel is more informative and complete on golf clubs than both of theirs. Good luck!
Good thing you didn't bet on that. And if you think this channel has better content than Rick Shiels or Mark Crossfield does, you're more delusional than a section 8.
@@MichealBacon it’s all subjective. Rick is super gimmicky now a days. His old content on the other hand was golf gold! No longer is it content I’m interested in so for me this content is 150% more useful. People see entertainment as a higher value than info style vids. To each their own, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I do however find Marks content solid.
Just killed it guys ... So much fun to watch
Used this video as a recommendation to sample new wedges. These pings are amazing for me. Just got fitted for glide 2.0’s. Thanks boys!!!
👍
Another great video. It's amazing how a good quality fitting will improve scores, cause sometimes there is nothing wrong with the swing it's really the equipment isn't right for the swing. Thanks again guys and keep these types of videos coming.
3 yrs old but this is flipping amazing to watch. I need a fitting bad
You guys are the best! Really appreciate this video as a mid/high handicap.
You guys continue to amaze me with what can be done in a fitting!
You guys hit it out of the park again and I'M looking forward to the wedge grind part of the fitting.
2Bad has the wedge grind part been posted? I can’t seem to find it on the channel
I would love to do a follow up with Sam later this year and see how his game has improved.
Man, I wish you guys were in Southern California. I'd be there ASAP for a fitting. Great job!
How are you not making zillions of dollars? You are really masterful at this fitting gig. I would think people would be climbing over each other to get a fitting done by you , this is really amazing i mean if i had money amd time I'd be there like now lol . Seriously you are absolutely great at diagnosing and fixing what can be fixed through fitting.
Great channel, really an eye opener, to see what properly fitted clubs can make to average golfer. The high handicap addition is great. Pity there is nobody providing a similar service where I live
I love this channel! Detailed, informative and well delivered. I think you will see an Irishman in Toronto for a fitting in a few months (just moved to The States from Singapore). Thanks guys. Please keep doing this show!
Kudos... you guys are by far the most scientific, fact based dudes fitting clubs on line. Trying 15 different mat combinations to emulate fairway “firmness” deserves a hat tip. I bet you are working on tight lie and very wet condition mat to emulate the extremes for guys that want wedges adapted to their common local playing conditions! Science!
wished I lived near the center to get a fitting! Ian seems like the Einstein of golf fittings!
Another great job of fitting. I continue to learn something knew from each episode, this one was how the higher bounce helped him in the lower wedges.
Absolutely brilliant! ! I'm just like sam closer to green the more confident i get ... already looking for fitting appts !! Thanks guys another hugely helpful video keep up the great work
Wow! Just wow! There’s NO way that’s a typical result from a fitting, right?
What you guys accomplish is ridiculous sometimes. Love the content of this show.
At 1st I just loved watching Matt rip driver with his flawless swing. Now I can’t get enough of the relevant info you guys provide
I’m also super excited I’m only an hour away from T.O (and 1/2hr from ‘Sauga)
Me’s thinking I need to pay you guys a visit near the end of the winter season
Top quality content coming out of these guys. Always learning something new. 👏🏼👏🏼
Outstanding info!! Love watching your average golfer fittings! I always learn so much!
Impressive as usual. Thank you. 👍🏌🏼
Wish my fitter had taken the time to replicate the grass like you Ian, he fitted me on a very tight weave of indoor mat for Edel wedges and on the course they behave very differently, a very expensive £600 (3 wedges) mistake. They now sit in the garage while I use Glide 3.0 which were fitted by A N Other. Great work fellas, put a fiver on Sam to be 12 by the end of next year for me! I’m good for it!
I went online to SCOR golf to get my wedges -- they made sure there was a 5 degree gap between each of the wedges, as well as to my highest loft iron (it's a 9). When I contacted SCOR they asked what my set makeup was so that they could get the shaft and lie of the wedges as close as possible to my irons (Adams new Idea).
Great video again.
Wow another great video guys exactly like you said most of us can relate to Sam being off 12 myself. Amazing how you straightened him up and squeezed more yardage just by adjusting the lie and bounce. I am very envious of Sam at the moment :), can't wait to see his iron fitting. Keep up the great work guys love your videos.
I just love this channel. Look forward to the vids 👍👍👍
Phenomenal video. Thank you to Sam again. I also have my wedges that are the same length and it has helped me a lot. One thing I didn't know is having the bounce affect me on the strike and not just on the touch shots but also in the full shots. Thank you guys as well. You have provided some great content. I've learned a lot from your videos. If I may, could you guys do a ball fitting?
For sure, it's on our list for the near future.
Great session! I wish I could be there ...but I live Italy! Great work by the way! Real professional
Really wish you guys had a shop in the UK the intensive fitting puts most shops to shame,with clubs costing so much why shouldn't we get the best version of that club we can .
I wish Ian was closer to where I live, I'd sure book a fitting. Currently at 6.6 down from 9.8 at the beginning of the year. Would love to try to get as close to scratch as possible. Great content guys!
Love these longer detailed videos! Well done guys.
Great video again guys. It has seriously made me look at the bounce on my wedges as I have the same issue Sam has with the fat shots.
Thanks Sam for your time. Great video guys, looking forward to Sam’s iron fit. Very interesting regarding lie angles and ball flight direction, have learned a lot.............cheers!
Love the videos and glad we are getting to see high handicap fittings and not knocking Sam but would love to see hear conducted using different test subjects lol. All in all though another solid video.
Really amazing the value of fitting. I am scheduled for a driver fitting in a few days and have learned so much on what to expect and look for in the results.
Great stuff gentlemen. The imparted knowledge shared through these videos, second to none! What a great service to your market area, TXG should should be everywhere!
I really enjoyed the high handicapper fitting.
It will be interesting to show older high handicaper with a swing speed around 60 mph.thank you.
I’m going to get my driver and wedges fit today!
Talk about timing
10:19 Matt is like "darn I need a lie adjustment don't I"
Another exceptional video guys... really looking forward to the video on wedge grinds as that is one of the more confusing aspects of golf equipment
Looking forward to seeing Sam's iron fitting!
Good to see this and very interesting. Also really good to hear about you folks customizing the mat to be like outside as exactly I found that after a wedge fitting inside they were not so good for me on the course and indeed I ended up replacing the clubs completely. As I have srixon irons with a customised after market shaft, I decided to go with the RTX 3s for my wedges but with the same graphite shafts as my irons. Being left handed srixon did not have a gap wedge available so cleveland was the way to go. Suffice to say as they feel like the same set - relatively speaking - they feel a comfortable continuity. Indeed the gap wedge is probably now my favourite and most reliable club aside from my putter. Just to add that it is great you asked the question of what do you chip with as I use the 9 or pitching wedge not the higher lofted 56 (sand) and 60 (rough and behind bunkers onto green) wedges I have. Though I rarely now use these two clubs. Just as an aside bounce availability for left was much less as options in left handed. As you indicated also good you did the full set with a specific individual. It would be good to see what further corrections or tweaks were made after Sam was fitted with each group not only gapping wise but also feel wise. And a putter session?
We hope to have Sam back in the future to fit his putter, stay tuned!
I was in search of a new wedge(60d) and thought about the new ping glide, but being a TM guy, I got the new TM high toe wedge. It does what I need it to do. Good vid !
Brilliant video 👍
Holy crap, I think I might wanna make my own DIY "fitting board" to have something better to hit off at my local range! Really interesting comment you made about the firmness of the mat not allowing for the proper contact point. I've definitely noticed that before at the range and end up compensating by getting way steeper than I need to with the wedges, particularly with partial shots.
Just awesome patience and awesome job!
You guys need to get a mobile fitting bus and come down to the US. I would easily pay $$$ for the quality your provide.
Wish there was a fitting place like this in the uk ☹️ class videos. Keep it up
So much interesting information, keep up the good work guys!!!
Fantastic golf channel....might need to move to Canada because I would love a club fitting from you guys
Great videos guys. In the interest of appropriate fitting I never see the fit and function of the great number of grips and grip sizes. The grip technology, seems to me, to be advancing as quickly as every other facet of the game, yet I've not seen any of my favorite channels cover it. I use Gripmaster leather on a couple of my sets but have recently been courting oversize Dri-Tacs. The lack of coverage surprises me because this is essentially where the rubber meets the road, is it not. Thanks very much for all your help. TJ
Well done guys. So so much valuable info. Much appreciated.
I love your content, and I just came to realize that wedges are probably the most important part of my game. So much so that I went from 2 to 4. I now have shots for 80 yards up to 125 before going into my normal irons. I cannot stress enough how important wedges are. This will be my forth year playing and I'm hoping to break 90 this summer.
Really great video gentlemen! This is some VERY good content that I found useful for my own desire to get fitted! Thank you and I look forward to more videos 👍🏾
Just known this YT channel and now I subs here. Amazing content. If one day I have the chance to go to Toronto I will there fitting my golf clubs
Blows my mind just how many improvements can be made to high hcp players through fitting alone.
Question: for single digit handicappers, is it better/more beneficial to have a variety of bounces and grinds through their wedge set?
Depends on the type of shots you hit with each wedge - do you hit full shots with it, chip, pitch, bunker, etc. Those factors will have a lot to do with what your grind and bounce setup looks like across your wedges.
I really wish you guys were in the Dallas area. I'd be coming in for a full bag evaluation
The two of you do a great job of helping the player to space and dial in all of their clubs in the bag. Do you know or could you recommend anyone who is that thorough, down here in the Southern California area? I would much appreciate it!
Generally we are happy to recommend either Club Champion or True Spec, I believe both have locations in California.
best informational videos on the swing and equipment..Keep up the good work!
Just shows the importance of a good fitting, the first clubs in my bag I had to change when I moved from Glasgow to Melbourne were my wedges, I now play 4 wedges starting at a 46 12 rtx 3 cb , a 50 10 Callaway md4, a 54 10 rtx3 and 58 6 rtx2
Been waiting for a wedge fit. Thanks guys
I'm going to have to make a trip to Toronto for a fitting...
It will be interesting to see how the new callaway Cavity backed wedge competes with CBX and Glide.
I understand that the average viewer is around an average golfer so I get why they want to see more videos of the average golfer's fitting etc., but I feel as though you guys can create the same video (wedge, driver, fairway metal fitting etc.) with Matt because it will showcase the similarities and differences between the two groups (average and low single digit handicap) and it would also make the videos more interesting for those golfers like me who are low single digit handicaps and have never been fitted for clubs and want to see the benefits (if any) of getting fit when you're already "good".
😆 the reason we're doing these is that everyone wanted to see less of me and more high handicappers. There will be plenty of both so don't worry!
Well, you've narrowed my choice for a club fitting down to TXG. A few months ago I was willing to drive to the Hamilton area to get fit at a big box store, just to have one particular individual conduct the fitting. Now I'm hearing this individual 'may have' joined your staff.
It's just comforting to know the skill level of the fitter, rather than be somewhat in doubt. Any extra cost in the travel and the fitting would be worthwhile. I'd just feel secure in the knowledge that I have the best clubs for me, rather than wonder if I do, particularly when projected over the hundreds of rounds I'll play in the foreseeable future.
See you soon Jerry!
You won't regret it, I've been there twice and I know I'm going back
Mizuno is 1 degree flat from most other brands. I play a flatter lie and did not know that until i tried Mizuno's. Nice video guys thank you
Another great video guys! I had to figure out my own wedge gapping using a GC2 at my local GolfTown store and found out my 50* AW from my set was so forgiving that my next club needed to be a bladed 52* to get a good gapping of 12-15 yards. I wish the Ping glides would have been out back then as I probably could have gotten away with a 54 and had better gapping to my 58* lob wedge. Thanks for the insight, i love watching your videos!
Another great video. I wanted to know more about how Sam was getting along with his driver on the course! Maybe an on-course series needs to happen when the weather warms up?
Fantastic lads very informative and intriguing as I've just started playing again after 18 yrs now 50 swing as totally changed and this as really giving me sum perspective as to wot I'm looking for. Thanks guys.
Awesome vid. Wish u guys had a branch in South East Asia.
Great info! I played off 18 last year and hopefully this fit will help me out. I play a Mizuno T7 52-7* of bounce and hit it fat more often then not. I play a lot of tight lies which is why I went to the 7* of bounce. I think I’m going to look at getting something closer to a 10* of bounce.
Love your content. Most underrated golf channel on UA-cam for sure. What does a fitting like this cost?
Wedge fitting is $75, or $125 with Ian.
Its amazing what you guys can do.
These videos are awesome! Would you guys consider doing a mid handicapper fitting/test?
There will always be a variety of players represented, we have videos so far with low, mid and high handicaps and I'm sure we'll continue to do that as best we can down the road.
You guys just rocked me I am 15 handicap and know I gotta get customer fit from top to bottom and never be able to afford it! :(
Quality video yet again guys! I'm looking to get fitted for wedges soon and after hitting a few different brands recently the Callaway MD4's have felt the best so far.Looking forward to more content about grind selection :)
Great vlog guys
Wish you'd come over to the UK to custom fit my clubs
Keep up the good work
Awesome video...The quality of your content seems to improve all the time...
Wedges seem to be overlooked when it comes to fitting even though for mid to high handicap players such as myself, it could be look as an important scoring club to eliminate strokes...
This video was so amazing I came in and booked a wedge fitting in a week. Thank you what is the typical timeline before you get the wedges you were fit for?
Depends on what you end up ordering and whether they're in stock. Check with your fitter 👍
Where is the second part of this wedge fitting session? I was unable to find it. Big fan, thanks guys.
Hope you record Sam's iron fitting too. Would like to see it
Coming out next thursday!
Team Sam baby 💪💪
