I love watching his approach to certain types of shots. That attempt to get the 160 yard pitching wedge shot with a draw is cool as hell, the way he addressed the ball with his stance is so different. He has such good control of the club face and path
Great Video, shows the importance of the fit, no clubs were purchased, slight modifications can improve strike. Would like to see this video repeated with a higher handicapper. If you need a volunteer I can make myself available. 😂
@15:41 Going through the turf better. How about Effective Bounce on wedges, there is more bounce towards the toe. Is that why some like their wedges flatter than their iron set? And not wanting it to hook?
I hit that same hosel rocket the other day trying to do the same thing: step on a wedge 😂 blasted it directly sideways. But, like Mac, caught my next shot clean and stuck it close 🙌🏽
I'm 5'3" and was fitted with irons 6-GW that are 2* flat. My 54* and 58* wedges are standard and I hit them right as a lefty. Should they be flatter also? Would this make a difference?
Very insight full. Payers like Mac given how much he has going on in his hands, addressing his wedge lie angle is a game changers. That said, I will surly have my wedges checked out. My only question is, how much will such changes effect the bounce as condition turn soft/wet?
This is very interesting. I used to play 1 upright across the set, now I'm standard Titleist lie in irons and 1 flat in wedges. I find it easier to hit chips and pitches with a flatter club. Every couple of years I get a bug about how my wedges sit and I flip back and forth, but for now I'm staying 1 flat. I find it a bit easier to chip with them and full shots I like to hit a fade so it matches up for me. cool video.
I need new wedges keep hoping the SM10s are gonna drop soon. I can tell theyre getting worn out bc my launch is now consistently above 30/8k where its normally 28/9k with 58.
Had a very unimpressive wedge fitting at golf Galaxy last year. Paid for the fitting just to ONLY select which brand wedge I’d go with and the lofts. Did not fit for length, shaft, bounce, or lie. I asked if we should play around with the different bounces, and the fitter said “probably not I think it’s fine at 10”. It felt like an unbelievable waste of time. It was a scheduled fitting that provided no value other than ~30-40min on a trackman.
The only club fitter in my town uses Trackman....can this be done as effectively on Trackman as on GC4? Also, I know your opinion on lie boards, but is there any other way to do this effectively without using a $20,000+ simulator?
Hi ian I’m a leftie same as mac. I also have the high handle toe down at impact. I’ve just been fitted by a titleist rep in the 150 irons at 2 flat. Always been 2 up. Should I bring this up to them? He said as I have a heel strike pattern that was his reason for the 2 flat?…
Hey Matthew, Our loft and lie adjustments are free for the lifetime of the golf clubs you get through us. If you've purchased those clubs elsewhere, there is a fee for adjusting those lofts and lies. Outside of learning what are the best performing head and shaft pairings to improve your scores, our fittings will also come with the spec sheet of the recommended clubs, as well as the Trackman or SAM Putt Lab data from your fitting. That way, you can go over the numbers yourself to see the improvements between your existing clubs and the new, or newly adjusted clubs.
@@ianfrasergolf You're always looking sharp Ian, but the Galvin Green polos became your signature! It was always a mystery what you'd be wearing on the next video.
My impact pattern is identical to Matt’s. I have a hosel rocket or two every now and then. Is there a shaft change that can help move impact closer to the middle of the clubface or would that be more of a swing change. I’m super consistent hitting here and hesitate making a change to my swing and losing consistently. Currently playing KBS c taper stiff with some Taylor made psi tour irons, 3* upright.
A shaft change could definitely be in order, so go in and get fit to see for sure! However, the shaft could be a little long too. A shorter shaft should move that strike location a little more center, away from the heel of the club.
This video was so timely for me. Have been playing my wedges a little flatter than rest of my set and noticed today that my full shot wedges were falling right a few yard. Getting these bad boys on the lift lie machine ASAP.
Having seen can happen to anyone, these days I'm fairly unembarrassed by the odd hosel rocket. Thanks for leaving in 👍
Mac with the elite ball speed numbers on that hosel rocket. Impressive!
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

When it comes to wedge fitting, I am most curious about how you go about choosing the best bounce/grind combination when you are not on course?
I LOVE that Mac wanted that in there! #mvp

I moved to +2 degree upright wedges this year and have seen way more control and better striking all year from it.
From shank to hole-out, gotta love golf!
I did a wedge loft/lie adjustment on a couple of wedge sets at my local CC (Tacoma, WA) and it was a great experience.
I hit that same hosel rocket the other day trying to do the same thing: step on a wedge 😂 blasted it directly sideways. But, like Mac, caught my next shot clean and stuck it close 🙌🏽
this guy compresses it harder than the trash compacter in star wars. Awesome swing!
Pfft. Love this comment. You got a chuckle from us here in the office.
This is so me I'm steep and as a right hander I hit a lot of weak right shots and my delivery is so far left
Welcome to the club! Lol

Hi guys, what are the benefits if any for "soft stepping" wedges and would you consider doing a video on this?
What kind of grips are those!?
The voodoo magic vibe coming off those grips is just epic!!
Awesome video!
Are you guys hitting off a fiberbuilt preferred hitting strip by chance?

You'll definitely be impressed with a fitting at Club Champion. Next time you want a fitting, you should give us a try.
What a great video.
Curious to know what wedges is Mac playing here? (Those Rip It Grips look fantastic.)
I need this, see you next time I'm in toronto :)
Great video as always! Can someone tell me what grip is mac using on those wedges? Especially the beige ones. Look real nice !
Those are Ripit Grips!

Sharpie on a ball, give it a google
Yes, Trackman is what Club Champion stores in the U.S. use and they're very effective as well!
@@clubchampionmediaWhat is your position on lie boards ?
Hi ian I’m a leftie same as mac.
I also have the high handle toe down at impact.
I’ve just been fitted by a titleist rep in the 150 irons at 2 flat.
Always been 2 up. Should I bring this up to them?
He said as I have a heel strike pattern that was his reason for the 2 flat?…
What exactly does your fitting offer? Is there extra charges for loft/lie adjustments?
Hey Matthew,
Our loft and lie adjustments are free for the lifetime of the golf clubs you get through us. If you've purchased those clubs elsewhere, there is a fee for adjusting those lofts and lies.
Outside of learning what are the best performing head and shaft pairings to improve your scores, our fittings will also come with the spec sheet of the recommended clubs, as well as the Trackman or SAM Putt Lab data from your fitting. That way, you can go over the numbers yourself to see the improvements between your existing clubs and the new, or newly adjusted clubs.
How tall is mac? Any correlation with taller players doing better with upright lies with the shorter wedges?
Yes
Whare are the grips on Macs irons?
Those are RipIt Grips!
From 100 and in I chip with my 9 iron unless there is a bunker in my way, my 52 and 56 scare me! I am ok with my 56 in sand though.
Hosel rocket!!
Love it!
Happens to the best of us, haha.
What kind of grips is Mac playing?
Miss Ian's colorful crazy pattern polos. Sad days.
Lol, this is my own polo shirt. This what I would play golf in, much prefer a blade collar.

Rip It Golf Grips
Great video.. very insightful!!! Can you fellas book me in for dialing my wedges in!???😮
Great advise, but his last swing he was back to 3 degrees toe down lol
That’s ok, we’re trying to be better not perfect.
Better than the 6 he was before
Found them.. Rip It Golf Grips
Ah! Madame Hosel. She visits us all.
buying 5 wedges from all the major wedge manufacturers and a couple of the Japanese manufacturers is much more thrilling.
Is that a Supreme Glove???

Man you’re great but local store just care about selling stuff
Mac crushing PW 160
My 7 iron: 👁👄👁
160? 7i? That’s full 6i for me. 😳🤦🏼♂️😩
