Andrew was awesome, I'm impressed with how consistently straight his ball launch is, I would love to have that swing ability. FYI, Titlelist TSR2 drivers can be had on sale in the US for $450, still more than many of us can justify, but the results it provided Andrew are amazing.

I’m a Professional Clubfitter (33 years experience, including more than 15 years working on the PGA and Champions Tours), and I think that this is one of the best fitting videos that I have seen on UA-cam! I would also rate the Titleist driver #1 among those tested here, with the TaylorMade at #2, just barely edging out the Ping 10K.
I’ve been saving 50 bucks per paycheck to do a fitting next year. After watching this I can see how important it is now. Thanks Andrew for being someone who represent myself for this video.
I am in London, UK and for the past few years have downloaded and printed off a sheet for something called the Penny Challenge. It consists of on day one, which can be any day you choose to start but I usually use 1st January each year, putting 1 pence/1 penny/1p in a jar, tin or whatever and then marking it off on the printed sheet. You then put in 2p in on day two, 3p on day three (don't worry, I will not type up all 365 days) so that by day 365 you have close to £700. The sheets are available online in other currencies like dollars too and you can even save in reverse by putting in £3.65 on the first day and work backwards so it gets easier as the days go by, or if after each day you have an odd total of coins in your pocket like say £1.28, then you can jump to the day you should be marking off that figure or mark off several days that add up to £1.28. Here in the UK we have Poundland stores where everything (used to) cost £1 and I buy a sealed metal money box tin with a slot in the top and use a tin opener to open it when it is full. I am sure that there are similar stores in Canada and America too like Dollar Stores and then I take the coins to a coin counter machine at one of the banks I use, but any container will do, it is just that the sealed tin helps with not dipping into it for loose change. If you have young kids, you can even get them involved by allowing them to put the coins into the slots and mark off the days on the sheet, plus if they enjoy it then you can threaten to make them miss a day or days if they play up a bit. There are other sheets too where you save random figures like £3, £20, £12, £32 a time that you mark off in the order of your choice, that comes to around £1000 over the course of a year when all amounts are marked off.
Had me glued to see him hit all the drivers , was hoping for the surprise gifting him the TITLEIST. He deserved it....one of the best real world testing out there Brandon...well done mate
seriously, this was the best driver video I have ever watched. This guy has way more potential as a player than the average 18-20 handicap. It was obvious that you know how to help players with equipment and technique.
Andrew was dope. Seems like a real dude, and his attitude towards the game is probably 70% of people out there. Love the game, the feel, the mental part of it, but it can get too expensive. So is all about pacing yourself and your waller. I also love the way you help him out and hype him up. You can see his confidence going up through the video.
Awesome vid!!! Only thing is he doesn't need to spend money on a new driver. Last years model or even a 2 year old used driver will fit his budget. You spend the money to go get fit then go buy last years driver with the same shaft. He probably would hit the Titliest TSi just as good. Or the stealth 2 or the Ping G425. I did the same thing. The dark speed was the best in my fitting. Payed for the fitting and then went and found a good condition aerojet driver and put the same shaft in it. Very little difference. Upgraded shaft and all. For me, next year, the dark speed will depreciate 200 bucks or more( its a cobra) ill upgrade to the darkspeed i was fitted for and sell the aerojet. Do your research and ya save a bundle.
Andrew is a chill dude, and he’s like the majority of us(me especially) it’s refreshing to see a weekend warrior. The channel can definitely grow if he’s on more.
As someone who plays at the similar handicap level as Andrew, I really enjoyed this driver testing session. You should definitely get him back in the simulator, maybe an iron and/or fairway wood session 👍
There's something just so satisfying about watching your vids of fitting high-handicappers 😂... Recently got the Cobra Aerojet Max because of one of your older vids, and I've been STRIPING it down the fairway. Also got fitted for some Mizuno JPX 923 HM irons, and I can't wait for them to arrive. My dispersion on the mizuno irons was sooo tight
Man! A tryout that many of us can relate... to see pros swinging the same club 105+mph carry 280+ yards is not a good benchmark for most golfers when testing "forgiving" drivers. Good job and good idea. I'd be curious to follow up with Andrew, fitting irons, wedges... and a review on performance by the end of the season!
I am retired and am just an older ANDREW n alittle younger than dad. More Andrew, and if ya decide to lose your mind and host a viewer for a full fitting... I have a passport and a HONDA CRV that gets great mileage!!!! I am a fan and now a subscriber. This content hits home!!!!
To give a little pedigree, I am a retired 10 year veteran high school golf coach and have a high 9 hcp right now. I am recovering from a broken neck and shoulder. I shot an 82 on a course in San Diego I have never played with old Nike VRS irons three weeks ago! They had recently plugged eberything!!1 EVERYTHING...TESS FAIRWAYS AND GREENS!!!!!!If you ever come to Las Vegas, let me know! I will get us a tee time!!! Bring your Dad n Andrew too!!! Andrew can assist me in consumption while we assualt the greens here in the Las Vegas desert!!!! BEST VIDEOS FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR GAME!!! PERIOD!!!!
I agree with a lot of the comments below, would be awesome to watch Andrew's journey on your channel... Great work man, this is brass tacks informative
Andrew, I had a fitting and got so wowed by the numbers, I said "Yes" to the big buck clubs. I have regretted it ever since. Kudos to you for sticking to your budget and saving some money for green fees. It's much more fun actually playing the game than it is looking at expensive clubs sitting in the garage.
Really enjoyed this video. I'm a similar handicap and find it much more relatable than watching a 115 mph golfer test low spin drivers that I'll get no benefit from. Subscribed.
Andrew is a legend! I love data videos over 'in my opinion' videos. Its not like the opinion is not based on years of experience by professionals. its just that it is soo much easier to appreciate when the audience gets to see it happen live...
My fitted Ping G430 driver and two hybrids are arriving Monday. Indeed, the Ping is very forgiving. Like many others, I really enjoyed Andrew and this video.
Excellent that you actually used a high handicapper to test the drivers rather than professionals. I am a mid handicapper and I use a Callaway Rogue. Rather than changing the driver I will test a few shafts before I decide. Great video and thanks
Awesome fitting. I love seeing mid handicap fittings. That us regular weekend golfers can relate to the fitting instead of 120 mph swing speed fittings.
I bought new clubs this year, for the first time in over two decades. Went to a local golf shop for a fitting. Ended up getting a whole new set of Ping G430s (Irons 4-W, Driver, 3 and 5 woods). Golf season just starting where I live, but I've gone out a few times. I love these clubs. I can see why he hit the G430 10K Max so well. It's a great forgiving club.
I enjoy watching your show. I have played them all. The best Drivers for me are Titleist, Taylor Made, and Ping. Irons are, Ping, Titleist, and Taylor Made. Putters Scotty Cameron, Ping, Titleist. I live in Asia and play with caddies here. Most of my friends here play the Gold Honma and Mizuno Drivers. To me the driver is key to a good round. My wife plays Honmas.
I got a G425 two weeks ago and I can hit it on the toe and the ball will start a little right and draw back into the fairway. Pretty amazing to watch the club work as advertised.
Really interesting thanks, my miss was a pull hook too but I changed from a stiff to an X flex shaft (£50 on eBay) and now they just go straight or fade, it’s a revaluation play the course from the right hand side as all the trouble is down the left where I play golf 👍😂
Awesome to see mid-high handicap player perform your driver testing. Just goes to show how important it is to get fitted into clubs that tailor to your swing. Thanks for the video!
I’m a beginner. Taking lessons and a fitting down the line. Just wanted to give a hats off to you for a great channel. I learned a lot by watching this video. Keep up the great work. You have a nice presence, communicate clearly without too many words and deliver a nice edited product. While most are obvious, I would love to see a quick touch on what all the data metrics mean and how to affect them.
Great video the difference you can see with a high handicapper is stark compared to a pro with the different options. Good driver tip too. Shaft is key , maybe the shaft with the Titleist suited Andrew best.
New subscriber here - really pleasing to see everyday golfers go through this process which is so much more relatable than the usual pros or single digit handicappers. Keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺
I was also hitting about where this guy was hitting as far as his skill level and I also got fit for the ping g430 but I was fit for the ping g430 ls and it has drastically helped my game.
2 things… 1) I got fitted in March and the TSR2 was hands down the best for me. I was constantly seeing 1.51 smash and even got a 1.53 smash factor, fitting was done on a trackman. 2) you should let him know the titleist drive is $150 off right now. I’m sure he’d jump on that!
Great swing for a guy who doesn't play that much . Toward the end , the worst shots were when he really came out of his shoes . I wish I could get those dispersion results. Excellent job with the fitting.
I will say that sound is why I got my Cobra F7 driver over all the other ones I tried. I came into the store expecting to walk out with a Taylormade M2. I hit it, and hated the pingy sound it made. Call away Big Bertha or Epic (can’t remember) made this doing sound which I really hated. Picked up the F7 Cobra and it just sounded sharp and beautiful. Now I’m a cobra guy with almost all cobra clubs. Never would’ve guessed that.
That was very cool 😎 , again ! Second time I've watched this ! Hope you bring Andrew on again , after he has made a decision and played a few months ! Love you're posts ! 🍁 🇨🇦
“I don't hear it echoing through the mountains.” A man after my own heart. I love the new carbon fiber drivers. But there is a nostalgia to the titanium heads that sound like a gun shot when you really hit it.
I like Andrew's swing, attitude, everything. Golf is an expensive sport and it's gotten crazy expensive. I like the idea of working on changing the shaft in his current driver over buying a new one . I liked the Titleist too but i don't think I would get much more out of it than maybe a shaft change in the Cleveland driver that I have in the bag now.
Great job guys. It is interesting. I do think the regular flex driver shafts have just way too much kick in them and dispersion wise you end up spraying them all over the place. I'm not a golf expert but looking at his swing speed. He would definitely benefit from a stiff shaft with a slightly lower kick point and that way if he does pull one it's just gonna be a pool left and it won't be in the bush. I really like your channel mate and you treat your customer as well.
This was amazing - one day when i get a fitting or walk into a golf shop with the intent of buying a new driver.. i hope i get an indepth experience like this and can confidently make a decision on what bests for me
I think I'm going to go with a QI10 Max next year once the sales come out, as a fellow high handicapper, thanks to this! Replacing my 2013 Callaway XHot haha.
I've got the same swing speed as Andrew, and use a A flex, in my Ping G430, with a 47" shaft. After seeing this I'm going to try a stiff shaft. Thanks for the tip
Awesome stuff. Very cool to see such great off the rack results with trials. As a viewer that was great content. You might have Andrew in more videos for the off the rack clubs in the rest of the bag? The varying results of the drivers was surprisingly drastic to me. The stock Titleist and Taylormade were crazy good and so much better than the rest for him. Andrew should definitely put that Titleist driver on his birthday list. 3,000 likes and youtube should give that man that Titleist driver! Fair to say Titleist took #1. Why do you suppose he leaned toward the ping as a second place over the QI? It seemed to me like better results with the QI over the Ping and it is less expensive.
Great video and comparison of drivers. Definitely have Andrew or other high handicappers back for testing. I love the swing tips and info on the loft adjustment. Continued Success-Thanks
Let’s go Andrew!! Great job on just seeing the improvement with a couple little tweaks and some modern tech. Lightyears of improvement, his buddies won’t be helping him look for his ball much longer.
Great video, great fitting. Amazing you had all the manufacturers. Most guys don't have all models. Great that price was part of the conversation. Plus taxes your looking at almost 1k for one club. Crazy amount for anyone to spend. Just off the shelf is a crazy decision for that money. Great video and information. Thank
The callaway was a little bit better. But on both I gained on average 20-30 yards compared to my current SLDR. I like the clean look of the taylormade though.
If I were Andrew and concerned about price point as much as he is... I would say thanks for the informative session, give Brandon a nice tip for his effort then walk out of there and go straight to Costco to get the new Kirkland driver. Aren't they getting sued by Titleist right now b/c their driver is so much like the TSR? Maybe you could have let him hit the new Tour Edge driver as a cheaper option if you guys sell that one. Great video again as always. Thank you for the content!
That was a real cool testing session ! Andrew is a relaxed , honest guy , I think with him choosing one of the three he excelled at , he could possibly bring his cap down to a single digit within a year ( depending on his iron and putter play ) I think this kind of testing really shows us amateur players , how a shaft or loft adjustment can make big differences ! Also we get to see the latest and greatest drivers from an amateurs perspective ! Thank you taught me alot !
After seeing that data I respect his self control to not immediately buy either the Ping or Titleist. It wasn’t even my fitting and I’m contemplating eating canned soup for a month to afford the Ping
Only the second video I've seen of yours, and the first video I've seen anywhere that made some of these differences actually make sense to me as a new golfer. I would really dig watching you take through a professional training! I just really enjoyed the guys attitude, as a viewer you two worked well together. How does a non traditional golfer/ blue collar guy go about trying out a new fancy driver or any club without just buying it ? I bought my first set of clubs Apr 22nd this year from play it again sports and just put my first Eagle down on a par 5 last week. While I feel pretty good now and not embarrassing myself on the course I'm still so confused when it comes to all the lingo and gear topics that I don't enjoy going to the pro shop for shoes let alone clubs. I've got a set of older precept EZ irons that are way to short for me but I'm getting pretty darn accurate with a goofy Big Buddha driver that I'm not setting the world on fire with but overall I've got fairly dialed in. My problem is I've got a better chance of guessing the powerball numbers in order than I do putting a 3 wood shot within 50 yards of my target, it's all over the place. How does someone like me who plays twice a week but other than that doesn't know anything about golf go buy a proper new club ?
The best club fitting experience you can have is at a specialty club facility like a Modern Golf where I’m filming in this video (Canada) or a Club Champion, GolfTec or even a semi-private club near you. I’d avoid the multi-sport stores and go somewhere golf specific. Hope that helps.
@@NewNineGolf That does help, so far I've only been to large multi-sport stores and have left feeling like I was back in school and forgot to study for a test. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.
Andrew is back on the channel!
👉 ua-cam.com/video/OqNdw-TVa9g/v-deo.html
Do it !! Bring Andrew back let’s see the progress !!!
Adding to this
Thirded!
Yup!
Do it
Same
Bring back Andrew, I love his attitude and his humor.
Andrew was awesome, I'm impressed with how consistently straight his ball launch is, I would love to have that swing ability. FYI, Titlelist TSR2 drivers can be had on sale in the US for $450, still more than many of us can justify, but the results it provided Andrew are amazing.
@@3frogltd987 _"FYI, Titlelist TSR2 drivers can be had on sale in the US for $450, still more than many of us can justify, but the results it provided Andrew are amazing."_ That is nuts to me to pay $450 for a driver (at least right now and until I change my gender to: Rich and Retired), I am struggling to justify using up gas and going to look at Goodwill for a ~$5 driver, lol.
Is Andrew secretly a mid capper, pretending to be one of us??
Love that you do high handicap content. You’re one of the only guys doing it and providing amazing data to the golfers like me. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it. We'll definitely make more high handicap content. 🍻
what about some real high handicapers?
Totally agree. Enjoyed this a lot
Yeah been looking for a guy like you that works with high handicappers. Thanks 🙏
I’m a Professional Clubfitter (33 years experience, including more than 15 years working on the PGA and Champions Tours), and I think that this is one of the best fitting videos that I have seen on UA-cam! I would also rate the Titleist driver #1 among those tested here, with the TaylorMade at #2, just barely edging out the Ping 10K.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻
I’ve been saving 50 bucks per paycheck to do a fitting next year. After watching this I can see how important it is now. Thanks Andrew for being someone who represent myself for this video.
Could you not just finance it at £50 a month 🤷🏼♂️🤯
A fitting is 100 bucks usually and most shops take it off of your purchase. If you are in Canada, golftown and Golftec are the big boys.
@@CharlotteK2008the 50 dollar per paycheck is going towards a full set up. I have a really good set right now so I’m in no rush.
This fitting appears to include some serious swing lesson!
I am in London, UK and for the past few years have downloaded and printed off a sheet for something called the Penny Challenge. It consists of on day one, which can be any day you choose to start but I usually use 1st January each year, putting 1 pence/1 penny/1p in a jar, tin or whatever and then marking it off on the printed sheet.

Thank you! Appreciate the support. Andrew was great. I'm going to see what we can do for him.... 😉
Was definitely expecting that Titleist to be handed to him after 80 hits and seeing what he did with it.
100% thought so too
Why does he deserve it? Because he's nice?
seriously, this was the best driver video I have ever watched. This guy has way more potential as a player than the average 18-20 handicap. It was obvious that you know how to help players with equipment and technique.

his swing is too good to be a high handicapper lol
He wouldn't have wanted to do it if he was genuinely that bad.

Best comparison vid I've seen! You're so respectful to Andrew, and your analysis seems very honest! I'm in Texas, or I'd come see you! Great Info!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words! 🙏
My fitted Ping G430 driver and two hybrids are arriving Monday. Indeed, the Ping is very forgiving. Like many others, I really enjoyed Andrew and this video.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Ping is soo forgiving. Enjoy your new clubs! 🍻
This dude is full on a great example of the average golfer. Except he's probably more honest. 😅
Just found the channel. Love the content. Keep it coming.
Excellent that you actually used a high handicapper to test the drivers rather than professionals. I am a mid handicapper and I use a Callaway Rogue. Rather than changing the driver I will test a few shafts before I decide. Great video and thanks
Love this guy with you! As a high handycap player i LOVE this video. You need a series with him (breaking 90 style)
Did the same thing when looking for a new driver and ended up with the TSR2, crazy consistency

Great stuff watching from start to finish unlike most other reviews 😀
Brilliant. So glad I found this channel.
only found this golf channel yesterday but gotta say im loving the content..... PS please bring Andrew back!
Thanks! He'll be back on soon. 🍻
That was very cool 😎 , again ! Second time I've watched this ! Hope you bring Andrew on again , after he has made a decision and played a few months ! Love you're posts ! 🍁 🇨🇦
I would love to see Andrew's progress, he's got a great personality.
“I don't hear it echoing through the mountains.” A man after my own heart. I love the new carbon fiber drivers. But there is a nostalgia to the titanium heads that sound like a gun shot when you really hit it.
I like Andrew's swing, attitude, everything. Golf is an expensive sport and it's gotten crazy expensive. I like the idea of working on changing the shaft in his current driver over buying a new one . I liked the Titleist too but i don't think I would get much more out of it than maybe a shaft change in the Cleveland driver that I have in the bag now.
Great job guys. It is interesting. I do think the regular flex driver shafts have just way too much kick in them and dispersion wise you end up spraying them all over the place. I'm not a golf expert but looking at his swing speed. He would definitely benefit from a stiff shaft with a slightly lower kick point and that way if he does pull one it's just gonna be a pool left and it won't be in the bush. I really like your channel mate and you treat your customer as well.
Bring my boy Andrew back! As a high handicapper myself, I would love to see his progress
This was amazing - one day when i get a fitting or walk into a golf shop with the intent of buying a new driver.. i hope i get an indepth experience like this and can confidently make a decision on what bests for me
Thank you! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. 🍻
Great video. I wish I could hit my driver like that. I can’t quit hitting down on my driver and 90% go left.
I'm in on the new series of getting Andrew from an 18 to a 7! Feel like I could get myself from a 15-16 down to sub-10 just by watching!
What I plan on doing is to get a fitting and then buy the recommended club and shaft next year.
Great video, awesome to see Andrew hitting the different drivers.
I would love to see him comeback and try some 2022 to 2023 discounted drivers, which should be well within hi budget!
Way to go Andrew! Your speed and delivery are very comparable to mine so I found a lot of value in this video
Just been fitted for a Ping G430 Max. The data vs my Ping G30 is off the charts. Worth the money
G series is where Ping got a lot better, for me. 25 and 30 wernt great
Really enjoyed this session. Great interaction between you both and very interesting results.
This might be the friendliest French Canadian I've ever seen. Great video
Subscribed! Your videos are very informative & helpful. I am a high handicapper
Welcome to the community! 👊🏻
I think I'm going to go with a QI10 Max next year once the sales come out, as a fellow high handicapper, thanks to this! Replacing my 2013 Callaway XHot haha.
I've got the same swing speed as Andrew, and use a A flex, in my Ping G430, with a 47" shaft. After seeing this I'm going to try a stiff shaft. Thanks for the tip
Awesome stuff. Very cool to see such great off the rack results with trials. As a viewer that was great content. You might have Andrew in more videos for the off the rack clubs in the rest of the bag? The varying results of the drivers was surprisingly drastic to me. The stock Titleist and Taylormade were crazy good and so much better than the rest for him. Andrew should definitely put that Titleist driver on his birthday list. 3,000 likes and youtube should give that man that Titleist driver!
Fair to say Titleist took #1. Why do you suppose he leaned toward the ping as a second place over the QI? It seemed to me like better results with the QI over the Ping and it is less expensive.
Great video for us average golfers. I wish every fitter was like you. Thanks👍
Thank you. Really appreciate it. 🙏
Great video and comparison of drivers. Definitely have Andrew or other high handicappers back for testing. I love the swing tips and info on the loft adjustment. Continued Success-Thanks
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate it. 🙏
Let’s go Andrew!! Great job on just seeing the improvement with a couple little tweaks and some modern tech. Lightyears of improvement, his buddies won’t be helping him look for his ball much longer.
Love the channel man!! Always so entertaining and interesting.
Thank you!
Watching him swing encouraged me to go find a new driver
As a follow up to this it would be awesome to see putting different shafts in his current club to see how close you could get it to his best.
More high handicap videos man these at bringing me so much joy to watch
Thanks! Will definitely have more higher handicappers on. 🙏
That was very fun to watch. Very interesting stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally some high handicapper content, great video!
Thanks! 🍻
I would have liked to seen his driver in a different shaft, but really enjoyed the whole experience and Andrew was awesome.
Loved the session. Leaned a couple of things and now I'm feeling confident to schedule my next fitting appointment. Thanks!
Thank you. Glad i can help. 🍻
Andrew’s awesome! Gotta have him back sometime soon.
Definitely! Thanks for watching 🍻
Great video, great fitting. Amazing you had all the manufacturers. Most guys don't have all models. Great that price was part of the conversation. Plus taxes your looking at almost 1k for one club. Crazy amount for anyone to spend. Just off the shelf is a crazy decision for that money. Great video and information. Thank
I can't believe you didn't put a stiff shaft in his driver for him. Great video love to see you get Andrew's HC down. What a video that would be. 👍
I gave him a stiff shaft after we filmed.
Andrew is the man! Good on you, Mate!!!
His swing speed and everything are really similar to my swing data when I demo the new taylormade qi10 and callaway ai.
Which one was better for you?
The callaway was a little bit better. But on both I gained on average 20-30 yards compared to my current SLDR. I like the clean look of the taylormade though.
Guys enjoyed that, lets see more of Andrew
I love this content bro! his swing is just like mine as a former college baseball player lol Bring him back for the summer improvement!
Great video , I have the same driver and same issues as Andrew, now looking at getting titleist driver with stiff shaft
If I were Andrew and concerned about price point as much as he is... I would say thanks for the informative session, give Brandon a nice tip for his effort then walk out of there and go straight to Costco to get the new Kirkland driver. Aren't they getting sued by Titleist right now b/c their driver is so much like the TSR? Maybe you could have let him hit the new Tour Edge driver as a cheaper option if you guys sell that one. Great video again as always. Thank you for the content!
Great fitting video for the high handicap golfer. I can relate.😂
That was a real cool testing session ! Andrew is a relaxed , honest guy , I think with him choosing one of the three he excelled at , he could possibly bring his cap down to a single digit within a year ( depending on his iron and putter play ) I think this kind of testing really shows us amateur players , how a shaft or loft adjustment can make big differences ! Also we get to see the latest and greatest drivers from an amateurs perspective ! Thank you taught me alot !
After seeing that data I respect his self control to not immediately buy either the Ping or Titleist. It wasn’t even my fitting and I’m contemplating eating canned soup for a month to afford the Ping
😂😂👏🏻
Hahaha
I already sold a Kidney
Only the second video I've seen of yours, and the first video I've seen anywhere that made some of these differences actually make sense to me as a new golfer. I would really dig watching you take through a professional training! I just really enjoyed the guys attitude, as a viewer you two worked well together.
How does a non traditional golfer/ blue collar guy go about trying out a new fancy driver or any club without just buying it ? I bought my first set of clubs Apr 22nd this year from play it again sports and just put my first Eagle down on a par 5 last week. While I feel pretty good now and not embarrassing myself on the course I'm still so confused when it comes to all the lingo and gear topics that I don't enjoy going to the pro shop for shoes let alone clubs. I've got a set of older precept EZ irons that are way to short for me but I'm getting pretty darn accurate with a goofy Big Buddha driver that I'm not setting the world on fire with but overall I've got fairly dialed in. My problem is I've got a better chance of guessing the powerball numbers in order than I do putting a 3 wood shot within 50 yards of my target, it's all over the place. How does someone like me who plays twice a week but other than that doesn't know anything about golf go buy a proper new club ?
The best club fitting experience you can have is at a specialty club facility like a Modern Golf where I’m filming in this video (Canada) or a Club Champion, GolfTec or even a semi-private club near you. I’d avoid the multi-sport stores and go somewhere golf specific. Hope that helps.
@@NewNineGolf That does help, so far I've only been to large multi-sport stores and have left feeling like I was back in school and forgot to study for a test. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.
