Honestly one of my favourite golf channels on youtube, relatable for us non-scratch golfers, humble, straight to the point. Keep up the good work hope you blow up!
Im late but I just want to say that your videos are fantastic. I just started seriously getting into golf a year ago and watching your videos helped me break 100 for the first time a few weeks ago…although that was immediately followed by one of the worst rounds of my life. Golf! Haha but as someone who is a creative themselves, keep up the great work. And thank you
22 years old, beginning my second year playing golf, and your distances are about exactly the same as mine! Awesome to see that someone who hits it the same distance as me can shoot in the 70's. (Personal best is currently an 85)
recently bought from a pawn shop a set of calloway hawke eye vft including a big Bertha driver and fairway metals. Best golf purchase I have made so far. Probably not quite same driving distance but it is winter / very wet and the courses I play are not quite so well manicured
Best advice in this video, once you find a putter you're comfortable with, stick with it. I've had my Scotty 2.5 Newport for 7 years and will send it back to Scotty Cameron to refinish when the time comes.
Loving the content man! My yardages for my clubs are all a bit longer by 10-20 yards but you shoot a much better game than me! Really motivates me though that i could one day play as well as you can. Would love to get a chance to shoot a round in the lower mainland with you one day.
I look forward to viewing more of your content. I too have been playing golf for only 4 years since I retired at age 64. Your comment about buying twice is apt, but for me it should be 4 times, not twice! The fitting I got when I bought my first and third set of clubs was sub- standard to say the least. As I improved I worked out what I needed and eventually I collected a set of clubs that is working for me. I think it needs to be said that it a club isn't working for you, try something different rather than letting your ego prevent you from improving.
@@NotAScratchGolfer The first " fitting" was at a retail chain store, where they assisted me in selecting a " box set" . The second I thought I knew what I wanted (a Cobra F9 set) and I got it, but probably it wasn't what I needed. That is, instead of a 3 wood, a 5 iron( 22 degree) a six iron at 25 degrees, I would have been better served with a 5 wood and two hybrids. It wasn't mentioned despite my modest swing speed.
Great stuff Adam. Really enjoying the content and very interesting to hear your thought process on your bag and ball. Couldn't agree more about TXG - Ian has opened my eyes and mind to modern tech and fitting. My numbers are very similar to yours and I'm returning to regular golf after 10+ years away (former 7 hcap, now 14.5). I've started the process of upgrading and fitting to replace my 15 year old bag of Cleveland Launcher 10.5 with 55r shaft, X-hot 15 degree, Heavenwood hybrids (20 and 26), X16 irons (5-SW), Cleveland 588 wedges (56 and 60) and Ram zebra putter. Started with TSi2 9 degree neutral A1 setting and love the Tensei blue 55s shaft. Putter is next - if I could putt like you, I'd be back in single digits next week.
As a 65 year old playing golf for 35 years this channel is very refreshing. I have a fitting scheduled for TXG soon and I too am short. It should be interesting to see what they suggest for irons and driver.
@@lakedog3616 My experience with PXG was great. The only thing I changed was the grips. They are all black and the colour transferred to my glove so I installed Golf Pride CP2 wrap grips. With the proper fitting, my irons are now flat on the ground where as in my previous set the toe was up and I hooked the ball. My hcp has dropped and my confidence has increased.
Found your channel a couple weeks ago after starting an obsession over golf course vlogs. Love your channel-- I can certainly relate to your golf game more so than the golf pro's with YT channels. Keep it up-- I'm hoping to break 80 this year myself.
I came across your channel and decided to subscribe since I’m just getting back into golf after 5yrs off because of 4 boys under 7, but now trying to get them to be my partners. Bought new used Apex 19 irons and TS2 driver and feel like it was a good choice. Well keep at it and hopefully I can get back below 80 by mid summer.
Great vid Adam! I’ve never been fitted for clubs ever, so it was interesting getting your take on it. Love watching your channel grow and know that it’ll be big one day!
Love the channel! You should definitely consider getting fit for a full set over time. Seems like everything is pretty well fit outside of your hybrids though, so maybe just start with those. You hit hybrid so often that it would pay dividends for your game. Modern Golf is great. Not TXG level but as close as it gets around Van!
love your channel man! if you throw a butt extension in the 3 hybrid it will play slightly softer in flex. costs like $25 to do it yourself (including a new grip) super easy.
Absolutely great channel! Love watching your videos on the rounds you play. Down to earth, straight to the point and relatable content! Superb! All the best from Scotland.
Thanks so much, Steven! I am envious of the golf you have in Scotland! I once played at Dunbar and it was one of the greatest golf days of my life! Have you played it?
Scotland....phenomenal courses, rubbish weather! lol! Unfortunately I haven't played Dunbar before Adam. On a side note I have never been fitted for clubs. I still play with a set of Ping Eye 2 plus, orange dot irons I bought second hand from a friend over 20 years ago! Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated.
Hi Adam, I've never been fitted for my clubs but when I improve my swing and game then I'll spend some money and I'll do it. What to say? Great channel and all vids. Keep coming!!
Your content is excellent, and the story as to how golf saved you resonates well. Its also nice and human to mess up on shots! Keep posting great stuff. Too many hybrids if I may respectfully say!
Yeps this channel is relaxed in vibe and the crazy growth was nicely boosted by buddy Matt (Golf Sidekick). Then the UA-cam algoritme got to see it and boom growth is set in. Very cool to see. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Well it is not a huge "Frankenstein" bag at all. I was almost expecting all kind of different clubs but on the hybrid side it is somewhat colorful. Cool 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Only golfing 4 years?! Did I hear that right? And a 5 cap. Damn man, nice work. I appreciate that you're also 5'7ish and it gives me hope that I can eventually start hitting it 250. I'm maxed out at like 215 right now...
Thanks, Nik! I did have a foundation of pitch and putt before I started picking up the rest of the game. I was also stuck hitting drives ~200-220 for the first 2-3 years I played. I'm not much of a "lesson guy," but i did add some distance with the big stick after taking some lessons.
I like the videos. The quality and editing are excellent. i also have a channel but im just starting and learning how to make these videos. Where did you get the course info on the top right corners in your golf videos? Keep up the good content!
Thanks! I create the score overlays in PowerPoint. I also try to scrape courses' websites for hole-by-hole layouts and use them when they're available.
I got the same steelfiber 95 regular in my iron and I feel they are a little hard to load. I am surprised you are hitting the stiff version of that shaft. I am hitting Srixon ZX 5 and ZX 7 combo set with Nippon Neo 95 SR with good results.
I also have never really been fitted and have been thru many clubs over the years. Trial and error is pretty costly as I have bought and sold alot of clubs usually losing some money along the way. Currently 6.7 hcp so not too bad considering.
Just found you, watched all the videos. Very entertaining and great content. We hit about same distances, I am about a club longer. Graphite shafts in the new APEX. Around a 12 handicap, can play better or worse. Look forward to more content. Watching from Florida! Let's get a round in if you make it this way!
Thanks. I'm not super picky about grips (apart from preferring standard size). Once I have a choice of grips (i.e. when re-gripping clubs) I tend to opt for MCCs.
Thanks, Mitch. I'll check in for a lesson a couple of times per season. The issue is that I never commit to putting in the requisite time on the range to implement their feedback. So I'm more or less stuck swinging my swing :p
As much a good club fitting will help you, it is far better to tune (read lessons) your swing before buying equipment, and yes, the putter is the most important club in the bag and the one at which you should learn to be the best at, your scores (and your attitude) will definitely both be better and happier
I really like watching the videos especially since you are a local content creator. Just wondering how you set up the camera to get the shots you get? I have wanted to record some of my round but I'm always worried about slowing my group down. Thank you for doing the things you do.
I'm glad you enjoy them! record on my phone (Google Pixel 5) mounted on a tripod I bought on Amazon. The shot tracers are added using an app called shot tracer and I create the score overlay in PowerPoint (which I save as separate images) that I import into iMovie, where I do my editing.
@@NotAScratchGolfer cool thanks for the reply. I think i'll bring a tripod with me next time to a pitch and putt as a trial run to see how I get along with it. Thanks again and take care.
Hi Cam, every 1000feet above sea level you can expect the ball to travel 2% further that’s what I read online before...the higher the humidity the longer the ball flies for also
Great video! Love the channel. What do you use to record and edit your videos? Been thinking about launching a channel and am a little lost on where to start, any advice is greatly appreciated. Keep grinding out there!

Great video thanks for the tips!! Amen on the putter advice. Been rocking an odyssey toe up for 4 years (pretty sure I’m the only one in the world using this as it was discontinued since it was so unpopular) but tried switching to a Scotty just because of the name value. Absolutely hated it and switched back in a week lol
Quick question about when to go get a fitting done. At what point when you start golfing should you do it? Say you already have a basic box store set and you’re just starting out, should you get your swing more consistent first or if you’re planning to put time/effort/money into the sport should you just spend the money up front?
Definitely get a consistent swing first or at least one where you can hit the ball. Reading posts by fitters they say they can't fit someone who shanks every second ball
I'm no expert so don't take my word as gospel, but I think a fitting may be worthwhile once you are at least making decent contact and have a semblance of yardages on your clubs. If you're still at the stage where these things are too variable, then I think improvements in technique are probably more important than having a better fit set of clubs. Just my $0.02.
Hey Adam! If you don't mind me asking - what's your height and swing speed? I have a feeling that we might be around the same height, so I wanna see what sorts of speeds I can be aiming for...
I know this comment is posted months after your video - however, I STRONGLY recommend you give Kirkland Signature 3-piece V2.0 Urethane Cover Golf Balls a try.
Formerly worked in tech sales, but the channel has taken over these days. Shaughnessy happened to be running a great promo when I joined (thanks to their uncertain timeline). It was actually economical for me to join there once I started playing golf 10+ times per month.
A lot of people swear by Modern Golf, but I was unimpressed with my experience there. I think it depends on which club(s) you're looking to fit for, your budget, and goals. A lot of the big brands do fitting days at the munis, and I think those are a good start.
@@NotAScratchGolfer I’m not quite sure what specs are lol. But my dad told me that his 7 iron has the same loft of 9 iron of 2020 clubs and so on and so forth on other clubs. So if I’m hitting a 5 iron on my dads clubs it’s like hitting a 7 iron with modern clubs. They are Ping Eye 2 irons. Fun and cheap to play with tho lol
Adam you need to fix your set up bro!!! and dont use "Im not good enough to notice the difference" or any other excuse cuz thats bullcrap!! cuz even guys like us(20ish Handicappers) can 100% benefit from fitted clubs/shafts. it will ABSOLUTLY make a difference to get those stiff shafts off your hybrids and also to adjust the shaft lengths and weights. by the way i use Kirkland balls(I love them).!!
What did you do to your Scotty!!! 😭 the grip!!!! Nooooooooo lol jk my man cannot go wrong with a Scotty! But seriously the grip 😂 if I came like that I forgive you! Just give me your patron so I can send you some cash to send her into Scotty to get fixed up 😜 and you can totally play a Pro V1!!!
IMO most “recreational “ golfers do not have a consistent enough swing for a “fitting “ to be worthwhile. Couple that with the fact that finding a “competent “ fitter is like finding hen’s teeth and it is usually a waste of money.

Amazing content!!! u should check your 4 wood shaft, i dont think it's a good idea to match with driver, usually you go a little bit heavier
I meant to say that the shaft is also a Hzrdus Smoke 5.5. It is indeed a different weight.
Well it is not a huge "Frankenstein" bag at all. I was almost expecting all kind of different clubs but on the hybrid side it is somewhat colorful. Cool 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Yeah, those shafts ultimately weren't great for me. Switched to a reg shaft in Srixon ZX4s and more recently similar shafts in a different club head.
I think it was txg that said a better ball actually helps a higher handicap as opposed to lower, use the prov1 and don’t look back!
Yes, that was a great vid they did!
Good video, good thoughts on each club. I have the same 818 hybrid, and sm7 wedges. Not a fan of the new vokey Sm8 design.

Hi Cam, every 1000feet above sea level you can expect the ball to travel 2% further that’s what I read online before...the higher the humidity the longer the ball flies for also
I haven't done a proper test but I've noticed that even in the Okanagan I gain at least an extra club. I imagine in AB it would be 1.5-2 clubs.

Thanks. There have been a few changes in the bag since this video. I might throw together a new one for 2022 :)
Great video thanks for the tips!! Amen on the putter advice. Been rocking an odyssey toe up for 4 years (pretty sure I’m the only one in the world using this as it was discontinued since it was so unpopular) but tried switching to a Scotty just because of the name value. Absolutely hated it and switched back in a week lol
Good video man!
Thanks, Tom! We could features Jordan's WITB but it would require semi-weekly updates!
Well I can tell you what’s not in my bag… got drunk as hell and left my pitching wedge somewhere on the back 9 the other day 😂
Quick question about when to go get a fitting done. At what point when you start golfing should you do it? Say you already have a basic box store set and you’re just starting out, should you get your swing more consistent first or if you’re planning to put time/effort/money into the sport should you just spend the money up front?
Definitely get a consistent swing first or at least one where you can hit the ball. Reading posts by fitters they say they can't fit someone who shanks every second ball
I'm no expert so don't take my word as gospel, but I think a fitting may be worthwhile once you are at least making decent contact and have a semblance of yardages on your clubs. If you're still at the stage where these things are too variable, then I think improvements in technique are probably more important than having a better fit set of clubs. Just my $0.02.
shout out 5 hybrid!
Right on!
Adam you should do an update to this
Been thinking about going in for a driver fitting. If anyone has had one done within the last couple years, mind telling me about how much it cost?
At first glance I though those head covers were Canucks head covers.
Hey Adam! If you don't mind me asking - what's your height and swing speed? I have a feeling that we might be around the same height, so I wanna see what sorts of speeds I can be aiming for...
I'm 5'6. My driver swing speed hovers in the mid-90s.
Nice been wait for this video
Thanks, Christopher!
I know this comment is posted months after your video - however, I STRONGLY recommend you give Kirkland Signature 3-piece V2.0 Urethane Cover Golf Balls a try.
I should play these more often. I'm not a Costco member :p
You are most def good enough for ProV1…..
Haha cheers.
Whats he do for a living...must do well if he's a member at Shaughnessy.
Formerly worked in tech sales, but the channel has taken over these days. Shaughnessy happened to be running a great promo when I joined (thanks to their uncertain timeline). It was actually economical for me to join there once I started playing golf 10+ times per month.
Great witb
Thanks!
Just curious, how tall are you? You're channel is 100% about to blow up
Thanks, Tanner! I'm 5'6", maybe 5'7" on tall days!
Who would you recommend for a club fitting in the lower mainland?
A lot of people swear by Modern Golf, but I was unimpressed with my experience there. I think it depends on which club(s) you're looking to fit for, your budget, and goals. A lot of the big brands do fitting days at the munis, and I think those are a good start.
@@NotAScratchGolfer Thanks! Keep up the great videos, really enjoying your work!
where did you go for your driver fitting?
I did it with a Titleist rep in Vancouver.
Nothing wrong with playing a PV1 even if you can't fully compress it. There is if you are losing a dzn a round tho...
Haha fair.
Yeah I need to get some clubs. I just use my dads, which are like 40 years old 😂
40?! That's dope! What are the specs on those things?!
@@NotAScratchGolfer I’m not quite sure what specs are lol. But my dad told me that his 7 iron has the same loft of 9 iron of 2020 clubs and so on and so forth on other clubs. So if I’m hitting a 5 iron on my dads clubs it’s like hitting a 7 iron with modern clubs. They are Ping Eye 2 irons. Fun and cheap to play with tho lol
@@kobebean1180 Pings all feel relatively the same, it's all about the lofts. Just club up or two.
Hey what’s up man, have you played golf in Ontario?
I've never teed it up in Canada outside of BC!
@@NotAScratchGolfer what part of bc are you in?
‘ I’ve been playing for 4 years ’
2min later…..
‘ I grew up playing a lot of pitch & putt ‘
Lol. Played a lot of pitch and putt. 4 or 5 years into "big boy golf" now.
Adam you need to fix your set up bro!!! and dont use "Im not good enough to notice the difference" or any other excuse cuz thats bullcrap!! cuz even guys like us(20ish Handicappers) can 100% benefit from fitted clubs/shafts. it will ABSOLUTLY make a difference to get those stiff shafts off your hybrids and also to adjust the shaft lengths and weights. by the way i use Kirkland balls(I love them).!!
I listened to you! New WITB video coming.
What length is your putter?
33"
What did you do to your Scotty!!! 😭 the grip!!!! Nooooooooo lol jk my man cannot go wrong with a Scotty! But seriously the grip 😂 if I came like that I forgive you! Just give me your patron so I can send you some cash to send her into Scotty to get fixed up 😜 and you can totally play a Pro V1!!!
haha thanks. The grip is a SuperStroke 2.0 Flatso and I wouldn't have it any other way!
IMO most “recreational “ golfers do not have a consistent enough swing for a “fitting “ to be worthwhile. Couple that with the fact that finding a “competent “ fitter is like finding hen’s teeth and it is usually a waste of money.
Glad I'm not the only one that knows gap wedges are a scam
That makes at least 2 of us!
How tall are you
Always short of the green
5'6", 5'7" on a tall day :p
Before I watched this, I assumed he had driver, putter, two wedges and all the rest were hybrids
Lollll
