      Wish i lived in the UK I would come up and see you to sought my clubs out!! My wife is tearing out what left of her hair 😂😂😂. 60% sorted now... just got my Takomo 101T Irons.. still not happy BUT i think its the shafts... downside to online purchase Without hitting them. Finally sorted my woods.. mixed bag but REALLY happy 3 wood Wilson Launchpad (reg evenflow 55g shaft) Takomo Ignis 5 wood(50g reg RDXhazardous smoke)And Ping G425 (stock 65g ping shaft).

    Excellent video, the other shaft you should try is Nippon Modus 3 Wedge shaft, which in my opinion feels even better than the KBS.

    Graphite is the way to go Gaz. Went from 125/130g X flex to 85g S graphite 2022 and will never look back. Graphite from D - LW

    Great content again! Suggest you try instead of a wedge specific shaft, try the same shaft as your iron shaft but drop down a flex. I.E. if you play a X flex in your irons, try a S flex in your wedges.

      I’d have to win the lottery to part £170 for a wedge shaft, but I’ll certainly be getting a steel exotic shaft in my next wedges.

      I agree. I love the idea of a cavity wedge with a milled face. It could be on the cards for 2024, I’m just hanging back abit atm, but got some more class fitting videos coming soon.

    I don’t doubt for one moment your findings, but,,,,, £300+ for a driver shaft upgrade, £1000+ for a full set of iron shaft upgrades, £170 for a wedge shaft upgrade, £300+ for a putter shaft upgrade. All that together with the original cost of the clubs ???? Where does it end (other than bankruptcy). How much now for a custom fit set of clubs £4k ? £5k ? I recently joined a society where the maximum expenditure on your full bag must not exceed £1000. That’s everything clubs, bag, and a dozen balls. I’ve never had so much fun playing golf in years !

    • @garymartingolf
      @garymartingolf  Рік тому +1

      I actually love that idea! If it’s a level playing field for everyone, that’s great!
      Im interested in all golf clubs, the best on a budget right up to the best fitted, I like to test and try all and share my opinion as they’ll always be a golfer looking to spend £150, and a golfer looking to spend whatever it takes to get the very best.

    Weirdly, you can only seem to get 115g from TaylorMade, same as Tour Issue I think too (at least here in Canada anyway).
    I also think Titleist charges extra for the Hi Rev 2.0 which is a bummer

    Love the BGT shafts. Have had them in staggered weights in my wedges for a little more than a year now, and they feel better than any other wedge shaft I've touched.
    Too bad they're nearly 200 quid a pop, eh?

    So Gary, what would it roughly cost for sggt to supply a good brand driver head and a shaft that works with it?. It doesn't have to be the costliest shaft just one that works. Like you I'm a tight arse 😮.

    • @garymartingolf
      @garymartingolf  Рік тому

      I guess the prices would start from the retail price plus any additional upgrades with the fitting being free if you purchase.
      I think for us, we’ve got to sell our old clubs private to get us much back, and see enough gains to spend more than we’d like too 😃😩😂

      So a new driver from a retailer would cost around £500, so are we talking another couple of hundred pounds or more, and would it cost less at your mate Sam's?

      So a driver from a retailer costs around £500, so does it cost a couple of hundred pounds more (cos I don't know how much shafts cost) or would it be cheaper from your mate Sam's.

    When I switch wedges for the year, I take that heavy piece of junk DG out and put in a Nippon 115!
    Weighs in at 120 grams.wonderful feel and extremely accurate!
    Nippon has 3 different weights but I like the 115 (120) for feel and flight.
    DG is a very overrated shaft.
    Pretty good 50 years ago… 😊
