    I recently got fitted for a set of Callaway Apex Pro 4-AW. First round out after getting them I shot my best round. I think it was more the confidence it gave me knowing I have what was fit to me more than just having new clubs. Thanks for the video Mark.

    I've just changed putter grip on my Odyssey Sabertooth from 2010. Gone to a chunky Superstroke 3.0 and cannot do justice just what an impact it has had on my putting! It's like having a brand new putter that has taken 3-4 shots off my round and it cost me £30! Love your content Mark and Co! Don't care if its a course VLOG, a training/swing tip or even a course/bag management vid like this.

    Really love this! As a club fitter, so many people I fit have redundancies in their bag. The worst is always at the longer part of their bag, where they have 7 wood, 4 hybrid and 4 iron. They tend to hit 7 wood and 4 hybrid the same distance. And never or rarely hit 4 iron because its harder to hit.

    • @chrissilkwood5439
      @chrissilkwood5439 3 роки тому +2

      I agree. My 7 wood is money and it replaced my recalcitrant 3 iron. For my swing speed, I also needed a 170-180 club and the 4 iron was a little inconsistent. So I tried a 5 Hybrid (26°) and it was perfect to replace the 4 iron. If I am under a branch, in the rough, I will just lead the 5 hybrid a bit to de-loft it.

      I'm willing to bet you'd be surprised at how many there are out there. Nearly all private course pro shops will be experienced club fitters. And yes, they are open to fitting non members. Ive used this as a chance to talk them into letting me play an exploratory round as a tentative member as well.
      Club fitting is very crucial in my view. I can't imagine trying to adapt my own unique swing to fit a club. The clubs should compliment your type of swing, as golf is hard enough to be consistent at...
      Let the technology of the clubs and expertise of a fitter work for you. That and I've found that people in the business of improving your golf experience to be a special type of human. They have patience of saints and always send me home hitting the ball so well I start having dangerous amounts of daydreams about quitting my job to start playing in qualifiers for the mid am tournaments....
      Then I read about the freaks that are out there on the weekends posting rounds in the 60's. routinely. in state amateur tournament play. Then I usually come back to reality.

It’s almost a cross between a fairway wood and a hybrid, with a really small head and a shorter (41.75”) shaft, and I’ve lofted it up to 19. Super workable. I love it.

    Mistake I’ve seen alot of is the assumption that if someone’s lowest lofted iron is 4, they must need a 3 hybrid. Hybrids by design go further, I started to improve my gapping when I allowed myself to overlap my 5 iron and also carry a 5 hybrid.

  • @Dave64DGB
    @Dave64DGB 3 роки тому +2

    I think a big gap for most is with the grips and making sure you find the right thickness and then making sure you have the same grips and consistent thickness for all the clubs. Having loads of different ones with just what’s on the club you buy creates potential slight difference in hand activity and grip pressure. New grips definitely breed new life but get everything the same and changed at the same time.

    My favorite club is my 56° degree wedge. A) it's my most versatile (chips, pitches, full shots all with low/high control) B) if I'm hitting it I hit a decent previous shot ("just a wedge in)
    $$$ is a barrier to my "perfect" bag for me. Trying out clubs, blending sets and swapping between a gap wedge and a second hybrid or third wood all cost $$$. I can't justify 200$ on a club that might not make my bag. Hitting a demo club and using a club for a few rounds or lessons is completely different.

    The wedge discussion is interesting, it seems like you both carry a form of 'A' or Gap wedge. For you, Mark, it is your Z-Forged PW, and for Coach, the 'A' wedge. and then you have 2 specialist wedges.
    Are you advocating that most of us carry a gap wedge that is a set wedge and then have two specialist wedges with varying bounce and grinds? I carry 5-PW (pretty traditional lofted with a 46* PW) and then have a 50, 54, 58 all in the Zipcore range.

  • @tomgodsmark9575
    @tomgodsmark9575 3 роки тому

    I recently got a fit for a whole new bag, for my new irons i dropped the 4 iron and opted for the added help of a hybrid. Also went for the Sim 2 Max D driver just for a bit of added help with closing the face - i have a pretty high swing speed so having the ability to have a 9* head on the driver made a big difference for me too. Really really interesting, and sometimes it's about letting go of the stigma behind 'game improvement' or 'forgiving' clubs, ultimately the job is to get the ball in the hole with as few shots as possible - and most importantly, having fun while doing it!
    Love the videos.

  • @ryanjohnston1478
    @ryanjohnston1478 3 роки тому

    I've been running with 5-PW for quite a while now. I do sometimes find myself wishing I had a 4 iron in the bag to hit those low running shots to get out of trouble from the trees but this set up has been the most successful for me. Current bag set up is Driver, Mini Driver, 4 wood, 4 hyrid, 5-PW, 52, 56, 60 and a putter.

  • @petegalindez9961
    @petegalindez9961 3 роки тому

    This is where I am right now with my bag. Did a fitting for driver, 3 wood, irons, and wedges. Got 6-GW, and then I have a 22 degree hybrid that I love. My 6 iron gets me about 160-170, then my 22 degree is 180-190, so I have a bit of a gap there that I need to cover. Not sure if I want to go 5 iron, or a 5 iron replacement hybrid on the lower end, and a 2/3 hybrid or 5 wood on the upper end. That’s my next step. Just came off my second hip replacement, so need to get back into a good swing groove before tackling the low irons…As for grips! YES! Now that I’ve learned you can use an air compressor to blow grips on and off, I change grips wayyyyyy too often!

    The wedges were blended with my old clubs but I can manipulate them well enough to sack off the 49 which is now too close to the set wedge! My favourite club is my putter! I was never fit for it but I love it!

    @iainross6349 3 роки тому

    My irons set up is now 5-PW after I bought a rinky inspired 22 hybrid which quickly became my fav club and transformed my approach game (and made my 4iron have a time out in the shed). It’s excellent at getting Srixon golf balls about of the rough by the way .. free my gift!

    Great video. Agree with so much, the over lap at the top end was something I had to get my head around but it works so well.
    Got new clubs last year after e were stolen. Got fit for all. I was the best part of lock down to be honest. It was a great adventure going out everyday trying new stuff from the club pro. He gave me options to try off the fitting amd play on the course. I gave feed back daily.
    Bag make is,
    Driver 11.5, 5 wood, 5 hybrid, 5- pw , 48, 54, 60.

  • @scotpage5526
    @scotpage5526 3 роки тому

    I have spent a lot of thought in making my 14 clubs. Because my distance is down, I've found at a certain point the long part of my bag could be redundant and overlapping in distance. I carry putter, lob wedge, gap wedge, pitching wedge, 5-9 irons, 1 iron- great for low shots out of trouble, 3 and 4 hybrid and driver

Content like this has definitely helped me have a better bag. Seeing lots of gains in that 200+ area

    @markroper1956 3 роки тому

    Being a low handicapper, the main thing I see with other players is how they dont utilise the laser range finder to its potential. They shoot the flag and hit that number. No hazards, no carry points or simply to trees through the fairway. Well you get my point.
    Nice vid guys

  • @mtspinelli
    @mtspinelli 3 роки тому

    Got fit across five different 1-hour sessions in building a new bag this season: SIM2 Max Driver, Ping G425 Max 3-wood, TaylorMade P770 3i-PW, Ping Glide 3.0 wedges in 50, 54, and 58, and an Odyssey White Hot OG 7S putter. The irons and wedges really manage the gaps well and are evenly spaced in degrees of loft and related distance. I opted for an extra wedge while removing a fairway wood, and I kept the 3i and 4i because I love hitting and controlling them off the tee.

    • @mtspinelli
      @mtspinelli 3 роки тому

      The new bag replaced a set based around Ping Eye2 irons which play GREAT and are still relevant, especially with good grips as you pointed out.

  • @hibbeh
    @hibbeh 3 роки тому

    I got fitted for Titleist AP1 714's when they were first released. 4 through to 2 gap wedges. the fitting was a good experience but I walked away with standard length, standard loft & standard lie. the 4i was my go to club from most tee's as I just couldn't hit a driver (was scared killing someone on another fairway). But after a handful of lessons the driver is working for the first time ever. what a great game it is when you actually have a chance at pars and occasional birdies.

  • @Tom_de_Oliveira
    @Tom_de_Oliveira 3 роки тому

    I got for for irons and wedges at titleist last year and it has made such a big difference. I kept my bag set up the same as it was always something that worked for me, got titleist t100 from 4-pw and some vokeys for 50, 54 and 58 degrees. I definitely like the chunkier irons at the top end that really sold it, while I wanted to go cbs. Also got myself a hybrid and driving iron with the same low flight shaft in, driving iron for summer and hybrid for winter as I rarely need to got much more than that off the tees. Really changed how I approached round knowing I didn't need to hit Woods off every tee

    In my bag is: Driver, 3 Hybrid 4-wood, 5-PW, 52, 60. I have never had a fit, so it is all what I am feeling to play that day, but I love my 8 & 9 iron :-)

  • @sfmclach
    @sfmclach 3 роки тому

    Mark, I was also inspired by rinky back in the day - went to a hybrid 4 and 5 and never looked back. 5h suddenly felt like hitting a 9i! I recently dropped another iron for a hybrid and it’s so easy to hit I feel like I’m cheating some days.
    Now playing 4-6 hybrids and 7-W in the irons and I no longer feel like I lose out on launch in the mid/long irons. I also play 7w 4w, again to maximize launch as I tend to hit on the lower side and always need help stopping on greens from 200+ yards (on the odd occasion I hit them, of course!)

  • @eagle-mangolf271
    @eagle-mangolf271 3 роки тому

    Thanks to you mark i have changed my bag set up so I stop at a 6 iron and swapped to hybrids. Before I playing all the way down from pw to 4 but mixed it up as your videos showed me I wasn’t doing myself any favors hitting a 4 and 5 iron

  • @richardwood7445
    @richardwood7445 3 роки тому

    Good food for thought. In fact my coach pointed something like this out to me at the weekend. I current use Cobra King f 7 driver, 3 wood and 3 hybrid (19 deg), with a taylormade burner 4 h (22 deg) . Irons are 5 (25 deg) to 9 plus pitching wedge Taylor made burner plus. I also have a Srizon 56 wedge , Taylor made 52 gap and 60 degree Dunlop lob wedge 9. I thing my coach pointed out was to rather club up by 1 club that try thrash a lower club to avoid falling short on approach mis-hits! suddenly I am hitting more greens!

    9.5 D, 15 deg FW, 19 deg hybrid, 4-pw T200, 48-10 bent to 47, 54-12, 60-8. I'll swap a 22 deg FW in for the 4 when it's wet or I need the carry in the 220 yard department. Thanks for the video. I've never thought about overlapping the long end of my bag like the short end of bag for better versatility. It's probably because I adore my 3-wood and couldn't imagine parting with it, until now, that is.
