“I feel more automatic with it”.. says the swing robot
Exactly what kind of “struggles” are occurring. I’d die for this kind of consistency.
Being fitted by Ian is now on my bucket list. Classy as ever gents.
Same here
Been in mine for years now!
Agreed
Another great video boys! My friend's getting married in Toronto (not sure when with Covid) and it turns out the hotel is only 7 minutes away... might have to find some time to throw in a fitting!
When I ordered my t20’s, I took both grinds in the 57 (my highest lofted ) just to make sure I got the bounce and grind that suited me, and to have some options if the course gets soggy and soft
I have learned more about my swing and my irons watching your videos. If you guys ever take down your channel I may have to go into therapy.
Don’t think that’s going to happen!! 👍👍
I'm in lockdown in Melbourne so after watching this video and the other wedge fitting video, I was bored and ordered them in 50/07, bent to 55/13, 60/06 same as my old wedge specs that I've been gaming the callaway x series jaws in slate finish for 10 yrs and had 3 new sets of them. Had to let go and move onto the Mizuno T20 wedges that outclass them. The satin finish looks so good that I'm going to hate to hit them out bunkers. The shiney forged finish is amazing and the extra 4 tape wraps finish it off. Cant wait for the JPX 921 forged or JPX 921 HMP fitting.
Ian, “You gave it a good tug.” Matt, “Who doesn’t love a good tug?” 😂😂😂
DIRTYDOG aka TUGBOAT
haha that was great

For those that want to find this interaction, 6:40
Just a high quality video! Great dialogue.
For all the love you gave the glide 3.0 I’m surprised that was not in the video. I just got 4 of the glide 3.0 45/50/56/60
So excited to see Matt take to the T20's👍 Played Vokeys as far back as I can remember and never felt "Great" with them. Decided to give the T20's a try and so glad I did. They are fantastic!
I feel like for wedge fitting you need to go out on a real green and get in real rough to see how it is. Doing this isn’t the same.
Wedge fitting without being able to hit shots off of grass have always seemed a little odd to me. Would you recommend people try to hit some of grass before they come in for a fitting?
I think you can get pretty close with wedges indoors but few have the luxury or opportunity to do wedge fittings on real greens. Sucks but that's reality for 99% of players.
Haven’t even watched yet....know it’s, as usual, the gold standard of YT golf content by a crew of just solid dudes. Thanks TXG for what you guys do!
I hope matt's gonna fix all those pitch marks
I feel like I get an education every time I watch you guys.
Opinions about playing different wedges (i.e. Mizuno at gap/Callaway as sand wedge) in the bag or would you typically recommend consistency there if possible?
Awesome. Love all your videos. I just wish TXG was closer to where I live. I would get fit immediately.
Great video as always..... What finish option are you going with? I know it's not Blue Ion so Raw or Chrome ??
Chrome
@@clubchampionmedia I thought you would go Raw..... Any particular reason ?
Man I love these videos, great stuff guys
Can’t wait to see you two do some logs on the course. Would very much like to see y’all play some real golf.
Really interesting as usual. I play Cobra F8 irons with graphite shafts. I'm now going to get new wedges, probably 54 and 58, but what shaft. All wedges come as standard with a steel shaft. Should I think of getting a graphite shaft for the wedges or does it make little difference? Grateful for your opinion
A rainy day, a cup of coffee and this... Feels pretty nice now :)
I got t20 wedges earlier this year and they are hands down the best wedges I’ve had
I use the T20 60/10 bent by you guys to 62/12 to hit my number - and I absolutely love it - the grind on that club is also very useful with the nice toe relief if you want to get down a dig at a ball in a hole.
Great video lads. Matty-boy, your wedge handicap will be low single digits very soon! Side note, fitting wedges solely indoors can’t be recommended. At least you mixed up the turf, but I want to try in bunkers, deep rough, open face, watch the trajectory, watch the spin. GCQuad is great for making UA-cam content, but surely you would wanna get fit on course?
Just curious why the Cleveland RTX 4’s weren’t even in the mix? Matt really seemed to hit them well in testing.
My guess is that the new Cleveland wedges will be coming out soon and he doesn’t want an old model in the bag.
Timothy Buma ahh fair enough. Thinking back on it I also think I remember him saying the spin was a little inconsistent for him.

Guys, distance is not a problem for you. Iron lofts have got stronger including wedges, have you thought about sacrificing a long club and altering your gapping to enable you to play more wedges ie PW at say 46 degrees, a 52, a 58 with plenty of bounce and a 64.....and then using the Dave Pelz system of 3 swing lengths to generate 12 reproducible wedge distances...?
Matt uses the traditional lofted Titleist T100 irons - the PW is 46 degrees - it was the first club he hit to start the gapping session at 140 yards. Ian then fit for 50, 55 & 61 to hit Matt's yardage numbers - so he does have 4 wedges. Matt used 46/50/54/58 last year but wants more loft and flexibility for shorter distances - thus 46/50/55/61 this year.
Personally I could have watched an hour of that. I had the same experience with the T20s...just felt so natural and easy compared to everything else I tried. The big question for me is which finish will you be choosing for each club?
Hi guys your channel is so good and thanks for all the work you do. I play off 13 hcp and going to try Titleist t irons. Off 13 what would try first. I live in France.
T200
Love your videos. You turned me from a 25 handicap to a 15 handicap by teaching me the importance of golf equipment.Really bad for my wallet though😂😂
You mentioned Arccos at the beginning of the video! NO ONE talks about it on UA-cam. You guys should make a video on it and share some of your data and insights from it. I use it and think it's an awesome system for understanding your game.
I just bought the system myself and I can’t wait to see how it helps me focus on the areas of my game that need improvement and allow me to make better choices out on the course
How do you get to that data table of spin for all shots and averages? Is it a separate program that I need to download? I have fsx2020 but can’t figure it out
Table - tab is at the top of the screen when in improve mode
Awesome!! If they had a Raw lefty option I would have gotten those over Raw SM8’s
Lol. Matt ended up with my exact setup. You’re gonna love ‘em DirtyDog. I’m totally hooked on mine. Also using that technique from Gareth from the earlier video, which has been a revelation.
Another great video boys...Ian...bold shirt choice...draws your eyes to the nipple region..subliminal advertising for the Nippon shafts😂
Love these wedges, I have 52/08 and 58/09, just lovely 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
This has quickly become my favorite place on UA-cam.
T20 ftw! Rocking 50, 54 and 58. Wish it looked like that when I hit them... 😬😂
Surprised Ping Glide 3.0’s weren’t in the mix ?
There seems to be some kinda trend here, I’ve from from sm7 to t20 as well
I really liked the softer turf shots at the end, and the differences in the bounce values. Great content!
Great video. Thanks guys!
Excellent video demonstrating the importance and fine nuances of wedge fitting. Always a treat to watch the professor in action. Mizuno T20's are lovely wedges in both looks and feel.
Absolutely fascinating.
Greatest thing about watching TXG is the knowledge you get. Worst thing is that wallet keeps getting lighter 🤣😂🤣. Great fitting video!
What an amazing advantage to drill down that much. That would give anyone supreme confidence in every club in their bag.
My bucket list #1 is to come get a fitting from Ian. I live in Kentucky, USA
Something to note, which Ian probably corrected, but the Mizuno T-20 shaft length is considerably longer in the lob wedges and becomes similar in the gap wedges. (when compared to Callaway). This was immediately evident to me because Im taller and enjoy the Mizuno stock length in the lob. Callaway a bit short in the lob. The difference is 1/4" to 3/8".
Wedgucation. Thanks gents.
just got an ATV 64 from taylormade with a Hi-Rev 120. couldn't be happier. it feels like I'm cheating with how easy it is for me to hit every shot I want to and how much spin I can impart. I have a pretty clean TP MB 60 and I feel I spin the HiToe more. crazy.
Great video chaps
I have stiff flex dynamic gold 120 shafts in my jpx921 tours. Would you match them in my wedges or go with a wedge shaft? I'm likely going with a 52° and 58°
Playing Mizuno wedges T for years. Recent went 54/08 56/14 and 60/06 mix for sand conditions. Is Matt going 60 for alling sand?
For the 56 degree to the 60 degree where you are actually chipping and trying to maneuver shots would you go to a lighter or heavier shaft. I like playing my 50 degree at my normal DG 105 R300 shaft because I normal only hit my 50 on a full swing.
What shaft you would recommend for my wedges, I have the moddus 120 x on the iros
These wedges are an underdog for me. Vokeys always give a meh feeling but performed well. 'Consistent' spin is more important than having the 'most' spin, at least for me. I can always count on these going the yardage I expect. Hopefully this video keeps people from ignoring the T20 wedges, especially considering they cost less with a top notch shaft to boot.
Your knowledge is fantastic and the way you put it over is brilliant .👍
If your data is showing your terrible around the greens..wouldn’t your approach stats be even worse 🤷♂️😁
Hi guys. I’ve used arccos for about 3 years now. Putting wise is only any good if you mark the flag correctly. I’d take the value for this with a pinch of salt
My wife said “you should get fitted with those guys” - we’re in Scotland lol
Chris Voshall will be a happy chappy!
TXG if we were to come up for a wedge fitting. could you combine an indoor and then and outdoor fitting?? Myself would love to get some out in the rough, sand, etc.. This is where i am having a horrendous time trusting a wedge "fitting" when we cant even take the wedges where they belong..
My issue is that day to day I'm a different golfer. I have a 3 tier chipping net, and with my current 61 degree, some days I can't miss a shot, and others I can't make a shot. I can change my swing on a whim to try and make a change rather than trying 100 wedges and going with the best one on that day.
Chris from mizuno will be stoked. 😇
How do these Mizunos address the lack of various grinds found in the Vokeys?
Another gem guys! Every video I watch makes me want to come pay you a visit more and more.
Matt why are you hitting that callaway Marvrick driver when you hit the Cobra and the Sim better. Anthony C.
Please explain bounce. I don’t understand it at all. Why and what does it do?
This was a really good one.
Ian had to say wee little tug. My mind is in the gutter.
Would u recommend that shafts on your wedges should be the same as iron shafts.
DAMNIT MATTY you disrespecting the PING GLIDES?
jk
.....unless?
Excellent video. 👍
I’m a 3 handicap and watching this guy hit makes me thing I suck
You’re probably a better putter 🤣
So, I'm picturing Mizuno Chris, sat at home, feet up, smoking a fat Havana and the champagne is bubbling nicely in the flute!🍾🥂😁
And Bob is being sick in a bucket lol🤮😭
Did you bend the MD5 from a 56 down to a 55 or did you bend a 54 up to 55???
good fitting - you also could've considered low bounce on LW and high bounce on SW to accommodate the different turfs
If I play a project x 5.5 in the irons. What would be a good shaft for me in my wedges? Project x 5.5, or a 5.5 lz, or a 6.0 or just the stock wedges shaft?
Watched this on TV and forgot to comment, I game 50 54 58 t20s, unbelievable wedges!!
Did you guys have the taylormade mg2 rusted? For me once they got rusted the flight and spin became way more consistent. Does rust affect those things or was just the fact that I got used to them?
we haven’t tested a fully rusted one enough to say anything for sure, the wedge is really good it’s just one person’s experience and preference here really
Surprised the glides werent in the mix for Matt
Great fitting. My T20’s arrived 3 weeks ago and I love them. 54-8 and 58-12 and I just step into the shot and let them fly. Now I’m looking forward to seeing the Mizuno JPX-921’s and getting them in my bag to replace my worn out JPX-850’s. Keep up the great work. 👍
Guys what do you think about SW/LW making them 1 or 2 degree flatter from irons? I play 1 flat (Mizuno standard) and have my SW and LW addition 2 ° for total 3 flat on T20s. Trying it out this season and like how they work around greens.
Not sure I've ever seen such a thorough fitting. Ian is THE MAN!! The club whisperer!!! Great stuff guys.
I could watch that swing all day long fantastic swing
Good to see another lefty go with the T20. They blend with the MP20 so perfectly. They are such a great feeling and performance wedge. I have my second matching set of wedges based on your advice. T20 50,54,60 in C Grind with Modus 125 Wedge. Would you consider going with a higher bounce set for softer conditions as we're going into winter down here?
Don't know if Matty boy is trying show off or what.
How to join the PGA?
LOL.
Wish I could get such a fitting around here.
URGH.
Matt,
Did you like the Mizuno because they looked more like your iron set? I only ask because I prefer set wedges of my i25's than aftermarket wedges. I always have preferred set wedges. Just wondering. I have never noticed a difference in performance using a set wedge vs specialty. Obviously less spin, but I feel using a set wedge I can hit more shots. I have P, U, S, L all of the i25 set and love them.
Good luck with your new ones.
Brilliant video, as always. Matt had the ball on a rope with those T20’s. Did you use particular grinds (S, M or C) or were they all standard? Looking forward to the WITB.
No one ever seems to talk about Cobra wedges. I think they're as good as any others out there. I've tried Titleist, callaway, mizuno, clevelands, but always default back to the Cobra's for consistency for feel and spin.
Ironically I’ve just bought the cobra mim wedges.. I’ve used Callaway forged till now . But the feel from the cobra wedges is ‘ second to non ‘ 😉🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
Glad to see the fit, loft/bounce presented so clearly. I play S18, go between 56.14 61.07 and 56.10 60.10 (never thought about 60.14!!!).
This is so good! You don’t get this kind of content anywhere but TXG!!
Just curious why Matt didn’t consider the T100 GW. That’s one of if not the best looking set gap wedge there is.
Generally I find to be a bit more consistent on distance control with a specialty wedge, and i like to chip with it at times also
I was set to replace my illegal spin miller Vokey wedges for SM8, but you sure give a fellow something to think about. Also, Matt is a bloody robot!
Nice work guys, great choice! Chris Voshall will love your fitting! Love the insights on your short games and the importance of it. Always good the have the right tools for the technique!
Had never used a Mizuno wedge until a fitting last year and end up with a set of S18’s, they’ve been amazing and seriously helped my short game. I feel like Mizuno don’t get enough credit compared to some of the bigger boys when it comes to wedges 👌 they seem to be killing it in all areas at the moment, ST200, MP-20, T-20
I carry 4 wedges + pw in my bag(dr, 5w, 4-pw w/x100’s) 48,52,56,60. X100’s in the 48&52 or just x100 in 48, then s400 52/56/60?
T100 makes a gw
Its awesome too. Love mine. Built in forgiveness of the T100 but the top line is so thin like a regular wedge.
Yes have one coming but thinking of Mizuno 55 61
