Ian and SIM, a story of love
was love at first sight 😆
Ignacio Lopez 🥰🥰🥰!! The reason we never hit Mavrik Ignacio is because it doesn’t have weight out in the toe. I rely on toe weight to reduce rotation and add mass behind the common strike area which is always toe side for me. I really like the look of Mavrik Sub Zero though, really suits my eye.
@@ianfrasergolf thanks for the answer 😊
@@ianfrasergolf ian what did you mean by open setting on the cobra ?
@@ianfrasergolf Im same but that tour flat adapter changed the game - great stuff!
If the lottery win comes soon, first class flight to Canada, full bag fitting over a couple of days followed by few rounds of golf and beers with the two of you.
Absolutely! on my bucket list!
Crazy how one driver and shaft combo works SO good vs anything else. Very cool!! Fun stuff!
SIM is tough to beat! Swinging it well Mr. Fraser!
Matt, your confidence as a fitter is starting to come through with this video. Job well done!
M. Marin Perfectly said.
I watched it through but it was really never in doubt. As soon as you find a head that fills you with confidence that's half the battle
Love it! Not tried the SIM but looks to be worth putting on the list. Coming for a full bag fit with you guys is on my bucket list!! One day...... 😀
Ian with Matt fits Ian. So is this the SDS driver (sneaky deaky Sim)? Now can we see Mikey build Ian's new driver.
The SIM seems to have gained an edge on distance and miss-hits over the other drivers on the market. Would be curious to see if it gets similar results with a high handicapper.
that last SIM hit was so money 🙌
You look so much smoother with the SIM, like it suits your timing....some of the others you looked like you were heaving at them
Curious question, love the look of Ian’s golf shoes. What brand does he wear? Great video as always.
GFore
Great video. Great job, Matty Boy!!
Crossfield is losing his Twistface mind at this moment
7:50 - "D8 is a joke, nobody plays a D8 driver"
McIlroy - *Bristles*
I think Ian mentioned in some video that his drivers are always on the heavy side at D6-D8 range 🤔
Interesting that Ian's initial move to pick up the club is very similar to Peter Finch - who recently settled on the SIM as well
Pete is changing clubs almost every day at this point... half his videos is him getting fit or WitB videos... I really like Peter's stuff, but man he changes clubs alot!
How would the Accra compare to something like a Smoke Green or Ventus black?
Thanks for the content boys, keep up the good work and stay safe!
im with you. the SIM is great but when I got fitted they had a better shaft selection for the Mavrik and got my spin down. the SIM also sounds better but I have had my quality issues with TM over the years with 3 wood faces splitting so went over to Callaway for the first time. Great vid gents, just wish I could pop over for a proper fitting :)
Okay you could have stopped the video at the 2:06 mark as those numbers look perfect, what more could you ask for. I didn't think you could do better than the SIM setup, I'm surprised it was the T3 that was runner up.
Have you guys had a look at the new graphite design AD-XC shafts?
I didn’t realize that Ian was that long off the tee. You guys both qualify as actual athletes:)
It looks a little to long normally at 165. Ball speed it’s about 315
SIM is just too good. It’s won me over and like Ian, it’s the most comfortable I’ve been with a driver. I know the miss and hit it so well. I’m very confident off the tee right now.
Victory for both Titleist and Taylormade. Titleist out performs SIM on speed. Taylormade gets chosen on looks again. Both companies should be happy
Great video-thanks guys. SIM so so good for those of us extenders that hit up on it a fair bit. Almost too good. It might prevent me from fixing my damm swing :)
you can just see how much better ian’s swing gets when he is confident and doesn’t fear the hook. some of those drives with the sim were top level. why no freaky deaky mavriky in this test?
Chris Elerick Thanks Chris, thats precisely why we didn’t hit Mavrik. Without having weight to move into the toe, I couldn’t protect myself from hitting it left. I really like the look of Mavrik SZ but just doesn’t offer enough protection.
Twistface was disaster for me, but my miss is not the same, my toehits were with open face, and gave me wild pushslices, an SLDR 430 gave me much better misses than the M5 i had....
Ian!!....307 carry!!! ...when did??...what the?? I gotta start paying more attention i guess.
Adam Huckeby 💪🏻
I wanna see how much you guys would spend on clubs for a season every time you changed clubs. It’s amazing what a fitting would do I swing harder then Ian but would be 40 behind him lolz.. might have to make the 3 hour drive to txg
Love the " Babe" reference. That'll do pig
ian called it early, he knows he is a early extender...causing path to go to much up and out. sim seems to be the best at managing his swing at the moment.
The right gear has been confirmed! I'm pleased to see that the TS3 was the closest alternative. I have enjoyed my TS3's from the day I was fitted -- be it my driver or my 3-wood. Looking forward to seeing the 3-wood fit.
Surprised you didn't try the calaway?
aidan mc cabe it would definitely have been in the mix but it became very apparent how much I relied on having weight in the toe side. Mavrik doesn’t allow that option which is why we bypassed it.
Based on the two man scrambles and how you were hitting the SIM -never had a doubt
Been using a set of mp67 mizuno irons since high school. They still play great after putting x100 shafts in but, I have to be hitting perfect and I don't have the time to practice that much. My HC has been sitting around 5-7. I've tried a few of the new, more forgiving iron sets but, I end up with a pw that goes 160. Any recommendations on irons I should try for some forgiveness without the really strong modern lofts? Planning on going for a fit once stuff opens back up.
Guys wow!!!!!!!
So impressed with the content it’s so up my street. I’ve got to be honest, I’ve not seen your content before. I follow Pete and Rick, which led me to you podcasts (of which I’ve now listen to 5 on the bounce and have also found Andrew Rice). This is so informative and enjoyable. Thanks guys keep up the great work.
I got fitted into an A shaft on my driver but all my other woods are regular, is that normal?
67 year old with a slow back swing then lash it 220 meters.
Shock horror Ian chooses to stay with the SIM & Accra RPG setup, its the perfect colour combo for a Rangers fan!
Just wondering if Accra could get the Rangers Badge onto the shaft graphics for him?
Bandit Baker GREAT idea. 🔴⚪️🔵
@@ianfrasergolf I have one every year, but I may have peaked too early this year lol
I have SIM Max 9.0. I chose Max over SIM due to face height. Is holt melting an option to add some weight in the toe?
think we need another driver bracket with Ian - wish he would give that Mavrik a whirl with a rogue white 130 60tx
Hopefully we will be able to play soon!?!?
Why nothing with with an Epic Flash or Mavrick???
What was Ian's full and final specs I.e. loft, length, tipped, swing weight etc.
Great content 👍🏻
Hi Ian,
Can I get a little help from in regards to 2 shafts please. NSpro 950 stiff in Honma 737v irons against Shimada Tour lite stiff with combo set Vega VC-02 4-6 then VM-01 7-pw.
Whats the main differences is these too shafts and weights please. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you and have a great week end with the family.
Ian
Wow, nailed the pick for you Ian. Great match for your swing with profolactic level protection
I was kind of gutted that the Sim2 didn't fit or work well with my swing. The Callaway Epic LS was king for me and while it's boring to look at, I'm bombing it over 300 with much better accuracy.
On the flip side, my fitting put the Sim2 3wd as my best so I get to enjoy some of that beautiful carbon fiber.
Hi Guys, wondered if you could help. I was fitted while ago now for speeder evo 4 driver shaft in stiff tipped 0.5inch, couldn't afford the shaft at the time and a cheaper alternative was suggested aldila phenom rip (grey) since then I've picked up a bargain on the evo 4 but in x flex... I love the stability of it but would I be giving up distance? Not quite sure on swing speed at the moment, maybe 95mph... My irons are oban ct115 stiff if that helps. Would love an answer as keep missing the live. Thanks, love the content.
Fav gers player all time Ian??
Craig Talbot The flying pig!!
Matt, it's got to be hard to fit the master 😂 Curious, does the Sim Paint scheme fit Ian's eye more?
Loves the look at address for sure
@@clubchampionmedia Understood. That shaft and head combo is perfect. Can I send my stuff in to Mikey and get some blue? Also, you're getting pretty good at the fitting thing. 👍👍
“No one plays a D8 driver” Me staring at my D9 🤣
Why didn’t you test the Mavrik against the Sim? Would have been interesting.
Also...the shaft that you (Ian) is using there....how would it compare to the ‘standard’ Taylormade shaft you would get in a Sim driver of you took one off the shelf? Is that ‘standard’ Taylormade shaft built for the Sim or is it just an average shaft?
I was hoping TS3 would edge it out but alas SIM takes the day and the numbers show why. Probably for the best Ian...we wouldn’t want your cage rattled...😂. Thanks fellas.
Eagle Eye 70 🤣🤣
Did I miss something? Why didn't Ian swing the mavrik? I hope it's not because Matt plays it.
Randy Mahony it would definitely have been in the mix but it became very apparent how much I relied on having weight in the toe side. Mavrik doesn’t allow that option which is why we bypassed it.
@@ianfrasergolf thanks for replying ,I should know better than to question you. What are you doing up so late. Lol.
Did you get fit for the SIM 3 wood as well?
Emil Hamady not yet!! 😉
@@ianfrasergolf Hope to see a video on that!
Emil Hamady 👍🏻
Nice to see the Titleist is holding its own even though everyone else has seen a refresh since it’s release!
The SIM is a really nice Driver! I saw my first one in action yesterday and liked the sound off the face in an outdoor setting. It’s far less white looking than I thought as well.
There was no doubt that Ian was not moving away from the SIM. Nice to see TS3 come close to it! (bit of a Titleist fan boy)
Trying into outfit the best fitter in the game is proving to be very difficult Matty
Ian, have you guys had any trouble with SIM head weights being too light? What is the average weight you're seeing with the SIM head? I need a 200 + gram head because I play a 44.5" shaft length.
Hitting that sim long and straight. Swing looks great as well Ian. Great video guys.
Matt immediately diagnoses the strike by sound alone... rapidly becoming an excellent fitter simply by soaking up Ian’s expertise. Learning by osmosis.
Sterling Juarez I think he’s soaked up some fitting knowledge and I’ve soaked up some of his speed. As they say you become the average of the 5 people who spend most time with.
Ian Fraser I think we’ve all noticed; you’re comfortably over 320 total pretty regularly without swinging out of your shoes. And Matt is getting really good at fine-tuning your bag. That’s a pretty potent combination!
It's crazy how much I enjoy these videos. Wish you guys were anywhere remotely close
No Callaway? Just asking!?
NEIL CLARKE I really wanted something with the ability move weight into the toe.
Mavrik unfortunately doesn’t have that option. That’s why Ping, Titleist, Mizuno ST200 G and Taylormade were good for me.
@@ianfrasergolf Thanks for replying Ian 😊
Needs the Tensei Orange in the ping.
Swing looks great Ian! You turned into the trail leg better with the drivers that were a better fit.
Get that lower body turning on ya backswing 😅🙈your poor right knee😰
Jack Sharman something Larry Cheung and I are working on. It’s better than it was to be fair. Excited to see the speed gains increase as I increase range of motion.
Ian Fraser it’s gunna be so good when it’s ready 💪🏼💪🏼
Perfect video to watch while eating lunch, thanks guys!
Who could have predicted that Ian would have fit himself into the ideal driver! 😂
Ok gents, finding the numbers on the screen is difficult after watching all the lefty data... Whoa.
u guys make perfect content. super chill, super professional. knowledgeable, excellent golfers, great facilities and fantastic chemistry in front of the camera. spreading the love from Kent. Eng.
Much appreciated!
No Mavrik?
Jonas Kaasa Arntsen I really wanted something with the ability move weight into the toe. Mavrik unfortunately doesn’t have that option. That’s why Ping, Titleist, Mizuno ST200 G and Taylormade were good for me.
Ian Fraser Thanks! Loved the St200G video. Great swing these days!
Ended up in the RPG M4+ rather than M5+? Any additional tip trimming?
David Panella i’ll be tipping the shaft 3/4”
I could be a fitter. That was Sim any day of the week
That SIM in Ian’s hands is unreal 👏👏
I have been building my own stuff for years, yet I learn new things in every video. Thanks for the great content and congrats on the SIM, geat choice!
fly787 great to hear you have such an open mind and continue to learn!! 👏🏻
Great video! What length are you testing the drivers at?
tcneal00 45”
Was there a reason why you didn't test the Callaway Mavrik range against the SIM ?
no toe weight adjustability in Mavrik
@@clubchampionmedia Thanks for the info....really enjoy your channel keep up the great work...cheers
No Freaky Deaky Mavrikie in the test?
M M it would definitely have been in the mix but it became very apparent how much I relied on having weight in the toe side. Mavrik doesn’t allow that option which is why we bypassed it.
“Have I died!?” Ian hitting a ping driver
I know, its just wrong.
Good choice Ian, suits you to a tee 😂
We needed another bracketed elimination series for Ian.
Great fitting guys ! Thoroughly enjoyed this while home recovering from COVID19! Keep up the great work ⛳️ 🏌🏼
Stephen DiBari Been thinking of you Stephen, thanks for letting us know your recovering well!! Keep us posted on your progress. 🙏🏻
Ian Fraser thanks so much Ian ! After 9 straight days of fever starting on 15 April, my fever finally broke on 23 April ! Still have some shortness of breath but nothing like 1 week ago when I was walking up my stairs one step at a time. Rest of my symptoms are mostly gone. My O2 saturation levels are back to near normal 94-96. They were as low as 90 last week which is borderline unhealthy.
Just finished 12 days of antibiotics and So excited to be on the mend !!
Loved the slow and low take away in the backswing
Shouldn't that be a "wee" pal to this guy.
Thanks Guys. Great video!
No callaway?
T-rav29 no, I really need the protection off having some weight in the toe. Callaway doesn’t offer that option this year.
I love the look of the SIM. The color scheme is great. The thought that keeps going through my head is if a BMW M series were a driver this is what it would look like.
St33LR043 more than the m3?
Justin Park the colors of the m3 I guess would be more like a bmw but the sim is so much sleaker it’s appeal like a sports car
Let’s see a pal for Ian’s driver
Jeff Phila I’m really dying to hit the 3wood now.
@TXG Tour Experience Golf
Thank you for your content. Prior to our State's 2nd shutdown, my game has been improving greatly by watching your videos, and by using Ian and Matt's swing as reference.
My scores have gone from 120's down to low 90's, and even a couple of 89's.
Your videos have not only been educational and entertaining, but has motivated me to improve my game.
Looking forward to the many videos to come, and best of luck in reaching your channel's next subscriber goal.
Thank you.
How was Matty getting haircuts back then ?
Is M4+ for the TS3 a typo or was there a reason for the change from M5+ in the SIM?
I would guess because the RPG is 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Maybe Ian can call his Sneaky Freaky! 💯
S W Augie 😂😂
Wow, You Have A VERY GOOD SWING, Ian!
Why no Callaway?
Curious as to why the Ping was so much heavier than the others?
Ian, I'd really like to see you guys do some 50grm +/- or sub 50 grm shaft testing as I'm sure there are a lot of seniors out there who would be interested in seeing that test. But perform the tests at Matts or your normal swing speeds.
What are your thoughts on the sim head with the va shaft is that a good combo or no
depends on a ton of factors, but likely that will produce a light swingweight
Yeah 44 1/2 7 stiff va shaft im pretty sure it weigh in at d7 does that sound right not sure if my club fitter did it right just wanted your unfortunately i can’t hit it because of lockdown
There are pros that play E1-2 in their drivers Matty. :D. This was fun... like the doctor getting a check up. 😂
I don’t know if it’s Twistface but I find my Sim so much more forgiving on miss hits.Great fitting gentlemen 👍🏽
Did Mavrik get a look in at any stage?
Nixon Gill it would definitely have been in the mix but it became very apparent how much I relied on having weight in the toe side. Mavrik doesn’t allow that option which is why we bypassed it.
Ian Fraser and thus the weight in the toe of the Mizuno. Looking forward to see if you can dial that one in.
Nixon Gill exactly, that’s also why Titleist was close, we had the weight in the toe there too.
Ian Fraser once you’re fitted. Do a comparison with SLDR. almost same driver and it was a monster at that time.
Did Ian decide to go to the thicker grip to stay away from the lefts? I remember Matt's driver they were talking about doing something like that.
Ian likes to "pick" the club up, I'm wondering if his numbers would change if he took it back and little lower and longer ? hmmm
