After all of these years it’s great to see Pete hitting it further and still having all the enthusiasm and fun while playing golf, love you pete keep it up😁
+Peter Finch Golf New irons - whose an excited boy then, ha .... nice :) 6 under every time you go out now PF ;) Make sure the caddy checks you only have 14 in the bag come qualifying ..... ! Ping MOI got to be better than the 430 - think the M1 460 would be worth a try and with your swing speed the Pro V1x.
+Peter Finch Golf Hi Pete. Can you just let us know what shaft you're playing in your wedges please? Everyone goes on about shafts for woods and irons and completely neglects wedge shafts when they are equally as important if not more important because they're your scoring clubs.
WOW finally! Thought maybe TM had forgotten about you. Excited to see how you play with them. I put the Ping G LS Tech in the bag last week and I am loving it. Long and forgiving is a wonderful combo.
Heck of a setup you've got there, Pete. I can't wait to get new irons and a new driver. I've got Callaways from 2004...definitely missed out on a lot of technology in 12 years.
Pete you gotta nice bag there ! That hybrid goes well ! 245 yards.... so does the 3 wood 260 yards on a easy swing ! The strong 3 and Hybrid seems a great combination be interesting to hear how that goes.
Great setup Peter. Would be interesting to know what the gap is between the 4-iron and the 3-hybrid on the one hand, and the 3-iron and the 3-wood on the other.
Hi Peter, On your last shot you mention the two different readings for yardage off of Flightscope and GC2. What are the differences between the two pieces of software, and is there an obvious reason why that difference in yardage is there? Are the readings simply estimates based on clubhead speed/spin etc? Cheers, James
I've tried many different 3 woods over the years, but by far the best I've ever had is my John Letters tour black master model. it goes for miles, I just wondered if you'd ever tried it?
Do you lose more distance on the course when playing the Ping G vs. the M1? I'm sure if the forgiveness is better in the Ping then it would be worth it on golf courses with tight fairways.
I do wonder at the reason that you lowered the loft even further on the 3 wood when in your last what's in the bag you said that the Aeroburner 3 wood was slightly redundant. Any reason that you didn't increase the loft to get the loft more like a 4 wood for gaping purposes?
Hi Pete. Can you just let us know what shaft you're playing in your wedges please? Everyone goes on about shafts for woods and irons and completely neglects wedge shafts when they are equally as important if not more important because they're your scoring clubs.
Nice combination. I've currently got the callaway great big Bertha. Stiff speeder shaft. Callaway X-ray 16 3 wood. Stiff adilla rogue shaft 3-p mizuno jpx 850 forged irons. Kbps x stiff shafts 50, 54 callaway mark daddy 3s tour grind 58 callaway pm grind Odyssey #7 white hot putter Bushnell x7 pro Callaway chrome soft truvis ball. What are your thoughts?
+Peter Finch Golf Great video Pete. As ever, if you need a caddy for Fairhaven, please let me know. I'm a member at Fairhaven, so more than happy to help you out.
Hi pete, nice bag! What's your driver length? Also do you prefer of are you fitted for a specific swing weight? I recently find out my driver was playing too light so i went from C8 to D4 swing weight, much beter feel and control (straighter) and more distance. Is swing weight something you are concerned about in the fitting process? #techtuesday #finchfriday #q&a
I had the same problem with my Taylormade 3 Hybrid. Always hooking to the left. I started opening the face a little at address and now I hit it dead straight.
+Andrew Haley 10 degrees and not really except the rough estimate that if you take huge divots you need more and shallow divots less, but it'd not an exact science
Way overpriced. Not saying they're bad (I happen to own one 😂) but others like odyssey and taylormade are also making break-through designs in the world of putters.
as of right now from what we've see, you hit the 3i as good as the 3Hy i would stick with the 3i especially if you play more links courses than the parkland courses.
Great video! I had no idea that people across the pond pronounced Nike differently than those of us here in the States. I've got the CB version of those wedges and I noticed what look to be non-stock grips on your wedges. What grips are you using and what made you go with them?
I like your bag contents Peter especially your PSI irons. Given your skill level and length off the tee, I am surprised you are not on the M1 tip. I am and I love it. BTW , as someone who loves and admire you.. go get a manicure dude and start use hand lotion especially in the winter time.😀
hey peter im wanting to start a golf yt channel and im looking for a camera and im looking at the powershot elph 350 HS what camera do you use? and do u have any tips for someone wanting to make a golf yt channel?
Think your 3 iron will serve you better, so I’ll take your 3 hybrid off you. 😉 .. just getting back into golf after 10 year break and loss of sight in right eye.. your channel is excellent mate, very informative, entertaining and inspirational! 👍🍻
Thanks alot bud, hope you find the tips useful. Awesome to hear you're getting back into golf! If you havent seen already, you might find my Golfalong series useful - might just help you after such a long break :) ua-cam.com/video/xcNbT4TDuEQ/v-deo.html
I'm kind of surprised that you are sticking with the Ping G driver. Maybe it's just me but watching your course vlogs, it seems that you started having a bit of inconsistency off the tee since the change from the M1, and Rick is outhitting you more often than not. Not a criticism, but more an observation. I realize that Rick may just simply be striking the ball really well currently, and that it has little to do with the Ping or TM driver for you. Just lookin' out! :)
***** Aw man... because of that video I just picked up a Mizuno H5 2-iron instead of a hybrid... thought I would somewhat join the club, now I'm alone! :P
Prefer the flight scope data ricks been using not the biggest fan of this one. Personal I like to see the ball finish screen that you're using not just a sort of tracer going straight lol
So, basically you have waited 3 months for your custom fitted PSI irons .....and they're standard loft and lie????? could have picked a set up from the local pro shop ! They do look good though, and I'm not jealous AT AALLLLL !!! Good luck Pete , hope they do the job of getting you to the Open.
TM should give you a new putter as compensation for the time you've had to wait for the irons. Especially as you're still willing to promote them on your channel. Come on TM it's the least you can do to help a guy in his 'Quest for the Open'.
Agreed. I have had two TaylorMade Spider putters and the ding up CRAZY easily... even from carrying clubs to/from the green. I love the feel, but abhor their durability. :-/
After all of these years it’s great to see Pete hitting it further and still having all the enthusiasm and fun while playing golf, love you pete keep it up😁
Finally working!! 🤗🤗

Peter Finch Golf what gram shaft you have on the G?
Those irons look fantastic Pete. You are such a lucky boy having all those new toys to play with.
Good to see that your clubs finally came in. Hit them well Peter !!!
WOW finally! Thought maybe TM had forgotten about you. Excited to see how you play with them. I put the Ping G LS Tech in the bag last week and I am loving it. Long and forgiving is a wonderful combo.
Set looks great Pete, especially the irons and woods.
Heck of a setup you've got there, Pete. I can't wait to get new irons and a new driver. I've got Callaways from 2004...definitely missed out on a lot of technology in 12 years.
It's working this time! Great bag to work with for the open, good luck for the rest of the season!
Nice set of clubs there Peter.
I really like the look of the 3-wood...
Cheers
Pete you gotta nice bag there !
That hybrid goes well ! 245 yards.... so does the 3 wood 260 yards on a easy swing !
The strong 3 and Hybrid seems a great combination be interesting to hear how that goes.
Great setup Peter. Would be interesting to know what the gap is between the 4-iron and the 3-hybrid on the one hand, and the 3-iron and the 3-wood on the other.
Play with the TM CB's at present and really tempted with the new PSI's
Love it Pete! Feeling a good year for you!
Very good video. I think u have a really good chance at getting to the open. Also nice irons
You should have kept that black Scotty you got in the second hand challenge... That thing was GORGEOUS
yeah I'm loving the psi irons and the pings look like they are going to do you well I wish you all the best
Just starting at 60 got my putter and a set of irons so where do i go from here secondhand and lefthanded
Hi Peter,

Loved the vid Pete, as ever. Having assembled your current set, what is your favourite shot, with which club, and has this changed recently?
I was 14 yesterday and got my psi irons as well
I've tried many different 3 woods over the years, but by far the best I've ever had is my John Letters tour black master model. it goes for miles, I just wondered if you'd ever tried it?
Do you lose more distance on the course when playing the Ping G vs. the M1? I'm sure if the forgiveness is better in the Ping then it would be worth it on golf courses with tight fairways.
Worth waiting for... Best of luck with them👍
I do wonder at the reason that you lowered the loft even further on the 3 wood when in your last what's in the bag you said that the Aeroburner 3 wood was slightly redundant. Any reason that you didn't increase the loft to get the loft more like a 4 wood for gaping purposes?
Nice vid Pete . Keep up the good work👍👍
Bags looking really good! I would stick with the 3iron, especially if you keep hitting it like that :D, hybrids never seem to be as consistent imo.
Appears to be an excellent bag of sticks...good fortune in the Quest...
Hi Pete I have a handy cap of 17 and right now I'm using the cobra bio cell what driver would you recommend for me I play at a parkland
I was so excited to watch this video
Hi Pete, just wanted to know do you think that you would ever switch to Callaway and what you think of the company
Are you going to try out the ping g stretch wood?
Hi Pete. Can you just let us know what shaft you're playing in your wedges please? Everyone goes on about shafts for woods and irons and completely neglects wedge shafts when they are equally as important if not more important because they're your scoring clubs.
Nice combination.
I've currently got the callaway great big Bertha. Stiff speeder shaft.
Callaway X-ray 16 3 wood. Stiff adilla rogue shaft
3-p mizuno jpx 850 forged irons. Kbps x stiff shafts
50, 54 callaway mark daddy 3s tour grind
58 callaway pm grind
Odyssey #7 white hot putter
Bushnell x7 pro
Callaway chrome soft truvis ball.
What are your thoughts?
still enjoying the G 3 wood? thinking of buying one :-)
very good indeed

Try for a edel putter or wedges
Yeah sweet bag here bro. Maybe some new wedges, keep those grooves fresh, no?
Hi Peter,
did you settle on the m2?
hey pete what do you think of the ping carry bag with the 14 dividers?
I had the same problem with my Taylormade 3 Hybrid. Always hooking to the left. I started opening the face a little at address and now I hit it dead straight.
What bounce do you have on your wedges? do you know any easy homemade tests for what bounce you should use?
+Andrew Haley 10 degrees and not really except the rough estimate that if you take huge divots you need more and shallow divots less, but it'd not an exact science
Nice to see you moved to ping staff this year...
Why the left side with the hybrids Pete ??
I'm trying to get that putter but can't find it
Not fancy the M2 Pete a lot of the tour Pro's are using it because it's more forgiving than the M1..?? Try a Scotty Cameron putter .!!
Way overpriced. Not saying they're bad (I happen to own one 😂) but others like odyssey and taylormade are also making break-through designs in the world of putters.
Which golf shoes would you recommend?
as of right now from what we've see, you hit the 3i as good as the 3Hy i would stick with the 3i especially if you play more links courses than the parkland courses.
+Adolfo Zayas it's a pretty good hybrid though
+Peter Finch Golf I'm sure it is. but seeing you play/teach and some of the tour pros, its like we're seeing more 3i and 2i than hybrids.
Great video! I had no idea that people across the pond pronounced Nike differently than those of us here in the States.
I've got the CB version of those wedges and I noticed what look to be non-stock grips on your wedges. What grips are you using and what made you go with them?
GP multicompound.
I like your bag contents Peter especially your PSI irons. Given your skill level and length off the tee, I am surprised you are not on the M1 tip. I am and I love it. BTW , as someone who loves and admire you.. go get a manicure dude and start use hand lotion especially in the winter time.😀
I love my Cleveland 588 wedges, be a very long time before they leave the bag
hey peter im wanting to start a golf yt channel and im looking for a camera and im looking at the powershot elph 350 HS what camera do you use? and do u have any tips for someone wanting to make a golf yt channel?
+Levi Hall check this video out bud ua-cam.com/video/R9gA_VpUaNo/v-deo.html
It took a while but the irons look great.
Think your 3 iron will serve you better, so I’ll take your 3 hybrid off you. 😉 .. just getting back into golf after 10 year break and loss of sight in right eye.. your channel is excellent mate, very informative, entertaining and inspirational! 👍🍻

I'm kind of surprised that you are sticking with the Ping G driver. Maybe it's just me but watching your course vlogs, it seems that you started having a bit of inconsistency off the tee since the change from the M1, and Rick is outhitting you more often than not. Not a criticism, but more an observation. I realize that Rick may just simply be striking the ball really well currently, and that it has little to do with the Ping or TM driver for you. Just lookin' out! :)
If you can hit a 3 iron 230 and straight , you should keep it in your bag l great insight Pete , thanks 😉🏌⛳️🍻
What bag are you using?
Why did you take out the 1-iron?!
much easier to hit the hybrid
***** Aw man... because of that video I just picked up a Mizuno H5 2-iron instead of a hybrid... thought I would somewhat join the club, now I'm alone! :P
Bring back the aeroburner tp 3wood:)
I have the psi but not the tour ones
Why do you end up with Ping G instead of G30 driver? Is it more G driver is the latest version of Ping driver?
+Victor Tarigan yes. the G is their newest driver
Why have both flight scope and GC2?
+Sean Ali good tool to have both closed and open data
***** Closed and open? Can't both systems tell you if the clubface is closed and open to path? xD
Well, I think: where is the 1iron? ;-p it is nice to see that you put the crossover aside >.
Are u or rick shields sponsed by any brand
Why not the ping tour shaft in the driver, peter, the one for high swing speed better player? Don't tell me you're too much of a beast even for that!!
Nice clubs Peter, just need a clean 👍🏻😉
What iron was you hitting? 183 yards
+Twon Mcdowall i know he hit his pings 8 iron around 180 on gc2. so i'm going to assume a 7 or 8.
I'd say 8 iron as I think he hits these bubba long
M2?
Prefer the flight scope data ricks been using not the biggest fan of this one. Personal I like to see the ball finish screen that you're using not just a sort of tracer going straight lol
I think you hit the M1 better than the g driver.
need a clean they do mate
Pete can I please get you ping irons! Great videos btw ;)
+Ramzi Mahmoud thanks
Awesome vid
Great vid
5138 rpm spin for a 52 degree wedge seems way too low for me. Even for a pitch shot...
Around 4400 rpm spin for a 7 or 6 iron? No wonder the ball will have difficulties to hold on the green...
what a swing
+Keith Kelliher ta
112 club speed?, you were closer to 120 with ur d3
where do you get your rzn proto balls?
Nike
So, basically you have waited 3 months for your custom fitted PSI irons .....and they're standard loft and lie????? could have picked a set up from the local pro shop ! They do look good though, and I'm not jealous AT AALLLLL !!! Good luck Pete , hope they do the job of getting you to the Open.
You putt better with the fang.
I've always believed this.
What is the bag that you have
It's a ping hoofer 14
Stick with Ping! The longest drive is the one on the fairway
Certainly wouldn't describe the irons as "bladed"? Maybe the video doesn't do it justice but it looks very much a cavity iron.
TM should give you a new putter as compensation for the time you've had to wait for the irons. Especially as you're still willing to promote them on your channel. Come on TM it's the least you can do to help a guy in his 'Quest for the Open'.
Do a 2017 whats in the bag
Still can't let go of Ping then Pete!
What ball was Len playing? I'd get some of his birdie balls.
287 dead straight isn't all that bad
Why did it take months for you to get the irons in a standard loft and lie????
finchy your swing is beautiful really
Good Lord man, take care of your putter ;)
Agreed. I have had two TaylorMade Spider putters and the ding up CRAZY easily... even from carrying clubs to/from the green. I love the feel, but abhor their durability. :-/
Nice bag of toys Pete,,,,,,,
Someone tell Pete he had the s56 irons not the s55s
I need new clubs. The majority of mine are older than Father Time.
+W. Jones i have some mizen JPX 825 pro irons if interested
Same, I still have Wilson 1200i gear effects from 1990's
+Jham they're just the ones I'm looking to get soon I love them
oh no what happened, where has your 1 iron gone?
That putter needs some talc!!
Only description I have is 'yummy' for this bag.
I think I wish I had a succesful you tube channel and had all the goodies to test:'(
+Max Zurmuhlen don't wish, do
I've been needing this:) #wafflesformysoul
You know you suck when he hits a 3 iron about 10 yards farther than your average drive XD
