rewatching this in 2022 and I feel like this was the best Matts swing has ever been. He was so pure here
"He's 20 mph faster in ball speed... it's a different level".
That's how I feel about YOUR ball speed!
Nice video gentlemen 👍
"I'm allergic to green." says Ian the guy with neon green sleeves on his shirt.
I'm convinced that Matt's not human. A 329 yd "fairway finder" to start and a perfect "low cutty one" on demand with nothing more than 5 yds offline. Kinda makes me want to take up fishing.
Launch monitors can Lie my friend... and they do quite often
@@jhughes19851 people can be jealous my friend… and you are quite often
I was there and watched him from the 11th hole on. He didn’t smile the whole entire time. He was so focused.
At 48,. I was just fit for this setup set in 9° mavrik head and was reaching 360 yds. Living in Mattyland. Thank you for the awesome fitting Geoff @ the fitting lab Philly And thank you guys for always making really good vids. I would love to see how you guys fit my swing.
Anybody else automatically like the TXG vids before even watching because you know it's going to be an incredible video? Yeah me, too.
Zachary Milos I would be lying if I said I wasn’t mesmerized by watching Matt swing. It’s so consistent it’s almost scary.
Only always, just in case I forgot to do so afterwards.😂
Yep, me too!
TXG & EAL are the only two channels that I Auto click the like button
I do! No point not doing it.... Their content is so good I know I'm going to do it anyway and I don't wan't to forget to do it after!
Zachary Milos yep!!
My left elbow is sore as well. Even more sore after watching Matt swing that hard. Unreal. Keep up the great work. Best golf youtubers on the planet.
Currently playing this shaft 6.5 TX 70g at 45 inches with and M5 head! Looks incredible and dispersion for me has been awesome as well! I will say that to me the shaft feels smooth but I agree with Matt that it needs your full attention when driving the ball you can’t really hold back on one but if you want to take off distance tee it low and play that cut! Loved the review TXG! Keep it up!
Mind if I ask what ur swing speed is like? I'm eyeing this shaft in the 65 gram tx flex to pair possibly with cobra speedzone head. I sit around 118-120 mph with a moderate transition
Matty with that ball flight you would eat Georgia courses ALIVE
Good stuff gents
Would love to see Matt swing the normal 6.5 version to see how it loads for him.
This is the shaft I just ordered. 70 6.5TX. My launch numbers are about identical to Cameron champ. Only difference is I’m around 120-122 swing speed and not 130. Hopefully it’ll work out.
How did it work out for you? Thinking of trying the same shaft but it might be too boardy. I'm in the 115-120mph range with an aggressive tempo.
Ive played ping driver and 3 wood for the past 6 years, definitely fit my game the best. Been looking to upgrade to this Ping series and you might have convinced me
I realize that Marty isn’t with txg anymore. But this video was only possible with Ian’s knowledge and Matty’s skills. This is such a unique video.
I play the same shaft at 45.25 in an m6, but only tipped 0.5”... I’m a lefty with a quick transition, it’s a fantastic setup for taking the right side of the course out of play
Why do I get the feeling, that Ian could take a piece of rebar, put a handle on it and mate it to a Ping driver head and Matt would still hit it 320+ yards straight down the middle. Amazing
That was just plain awesome!!! Mat, you are a rockstar !!!! Very much enjoyed that ! Thank you both very much 👍
Nice power and precision, Matt!
Always wondered if the "Hulk" was an option for Matty.
I was just behind him on the 18th tee box Sunday! His drive was a thing of beauty!!
Oh man, this is just a super-fun week so far, guys. Great content. Cheers!
After the first swing, I thought “Matty’s hitting a SLIGHT FADE?” A few more swings in, I noticed that shaft WILL NOT allow Matt to hit it right! That just seems sooooo stable. Great video as always, boys!
Another great video nice to see what the professionals use
I played this shaft in the 70 tx version all year. I didn’t realize how hard I had to swing to make this thing work until I tested the Ventus line from Fujikura in my SIM. Absolute sledgehammer handle of a shaft the hulk is.
What are your swing speeds? I’m currently playing a Ventus black 6X. I am thinking of purchasing this “hulk” shaft to compare to my ventus. Be curious to know your thoughts on the difference. Also I’m trying to decide between the 6.5 or the TX flex. Would love your feedback!
@@sayork100 I bought the 70g 6.0 and man, this thing is so hard to get the ball in the air.
If ever Matt decides to hustle his way around the UK’s links courses, this is the setup for him.
wow! you guys are great thank you for the knowledge
Great video. Hey if you guys are taking any suggestions, could you do a video with Matt showing the difference between some popular range balls and a premium ball when hit with lets say, 7 iron on up to driver? Especially driver. New range balls and season of use range balls would be interesting as well. Two brands I see a lot where I play, Pinnacle Practice (yellow with 3 stripes), Srixon Range (single black stripe). Thanks.
Ian/Matty, can you please try and explain the difference between the Aftermarket HAZRDUS Green that you tested and the stock smoke green in the SIM range?
Thanks
Mark
To hit that far and accurate is impressive. New set up for you?
I play that shaft... Tipped 1"...
..... I also am an avenger in my spare time..
Great video and what a brilliant shaft for Matty when he gets to play some Scottish Links courses
Champ played incredible, between the off course personal situation and Hadwin making a charge on the back nine. That drive on 18 was insane. I would look like a tornado trying to hit a drive 369 yards down main street, dammit!!!
By the end of the year this setup will be all over the classifieds on GolfWRX 😆 I do like the “Small Batch” sticker that will no doubt drive the price tag way up
Oh and I just wanted to comment - I have seen Cameron in person hit a high launch, low spin draw. #1 tee on the 2nd day of the PGA Champ I was seated right behind the tee. He carried all the trees, took a line toward the pin and from what I heard, just had a little chip onto the green. Estimate that was about 330 - 340 yard carry. It was insaaanneeee to see in person. I have it on video, too.
post the vid to UA-cam!
@@wodenoftheangles3339 I can but you can't see the ball really... I didn't have top tracer on my phone haha. You basically see his swing and hear me go "OH MY GOODDDDDDDD!!!"
Hey guys! I would lke to know if it is similar to the tensei ck white shaft which i play with my mizuno st180 driver. Great job, keep it up!
Did you have it the same length as Champ’s driver as well,44.25”?
Also noticed he has his head set on the little “+”
Golf Digest claims the shaft length is 45.25".
Frank D golfwrx has it as 44.25, tipped 1.5”
Go with the WRX stats. Golf Digest has no clue
Would you reccomend this shaft for a player in the 90 to 100 MPH swing speed who has trouble with distance off the tee box?
No! You'd struggle to get it in the air enough! Be too low spinning
@@stevecuthbert9420 I hit my driver about 280 and don’t struggle with distance with the driver but I bought this Hzrdus green in 70g 6.0 and I can not get the ball in the air! I swing about 95mph. Don’t get it.
That looks way more difficult to recreate than rors. Good job Mattie. Hey whatever happened with the tour striker yinz were testing?? Haven’t seen anymore about that. Good no good???
video coming out today
Did you tip it 1.5 inches like his too?
Its funny, when i go to golf galaxy my head speed is 128-129, ball speed in the high 180s, and it impresses people but damn the consistency you have and the accuracy is unreal. Ill keep swinging hard, and continue to shoot high 70s lol. What id give to have my speed and your consistency
Aw man I want the hulk shaft so bad!!!!!! Saw the thumbnail and bashed the play button like mad haha 😁👊
Chasing like it stole something lol... Brilliant Ian...Great commentary
Another great video guys
11:55 That drive after discussing adjustments and how he was going to hit it.. and nails it perfectly.. that was nastyyyy
Always a wonderful video!!!
Excellent video.
Super cool video. Great job.
20mph more. Bloody hell!!! Well done guys. Great attempt
Amazing Vid !!! Great combo.....I think it we tied a rusty spoon to a soda straw you would find a way to hit it 300 in the air.
Btw Ping is on radar now after that display...
I was just fitted for this shaft. I've never been fitted before and it made a massive difference finding the correct shaft for me. I just need Matt's smash factor and I'll be on my way. 134 mph club head speed btw.
thank you Ian for pushin ole matty. :D
Superb as always 👍
Ian asking a lot... Find the center of the face 🤣
Well done Matt, that would be a very handy ball flight 🏆
Gears with this shaft and see what happening... those were some ideal fairway finders @ 300+ yards 😳
By far the best shaft on the planet I have this 2” tip built to 48” in 6.5TX 70 and never have I hit the ball so dam straight and long but man do you have to hit it 110000% hahaha
I think the big difference between Matt and Cameron is the amount of force generated by Cameron's legs, hips and upper body. If you watch Cameron he doesn't start swinging with his arms till his club is almost parallel to the ground on the downswing. Cameron holds the club back and generates tremendous force with his rotation and legs. Matt still pulls his club down from the top. The ability to hold back and generate force from the ground eludes most people. For a lesson on how to do it watch this slow motion video of Cameron. ua-cam.com/video/1on8RQdQflk/v-deo.html
"lets hit the low cutty one and see how much distance youre giving up" hits two balls at 310 carry
Wow, that's like the straightest drives I've ever seen.
Matt obviously has a lot of speed and can play TX in most shafts. Given the profile of this shaft, would this be similar to say the hzrdus t1100 in the sense that folks should flex down? Could Matt still see the tight dispersion he's seeing but get a little life out of the shaft by going down into the non-TX 6.5? I see they also make a 6.0 (stiff). I almost wonder that if you're slow enough to need the 6.0, then this hzrdus green profile probably isn't for you anyway, so why make this?
Is that Golfers Elbow I see? I've got it at the moment too, sux!
Are even the 6.0 version think it would be a good comparison
“I’m allergic to green”! Assuming you’re not a Celtic boy or visiting Park Head anytime soon. If that’s the case, I just starting like you and this channel a little more which I did not think was possible. Go Gers!!!!
Trevour Mccartney 😉🔴⚪️🔵
what do you think about mizuno st190 head with this shaft combo?
Allergic to green things 😂. What sport do you play?
Does Matty have some sort of lateral/medial epicondylitis??? I'm a hand therapist and if so I'd be more than happy to give him some "pro Bono" tips on how to address and go about his elbow issues. Anything to keep the great vids coming!!! Like always love the content!
If that means tennis elbow then yes! 🤣 The brace has been helping but it is a nagging issue
TXG Tour Experience Golf lateral epi would be tennis elbow 😂😂😂.
Prob info you already know, but it's important to understand what causes the pain in order to address it properly. You have micro tears in your wrist and fingers muscles origin at the lateral epicondyle (bony part of the side of the elbow). This is usually caused by overstressing the muscle through repetitive motion (safe to assume it's bc Matty hits a billion balls a week). The problem is that this area is poorly vascularized, therefore takes a very long time to heal. Motion and activities that exacerbate symptoms are forceful gripping and wrist extension (bending wrist backwards).
I'll tell you right off the bat that there isn't a quick fix for it. Takes time, it needs rest, and a few other things that help along the way. Going to therapy is not a bad idea - modalities such as ultrasound, light therapy, etc can help; but that alone won't do it. You need to stretch your wrist a lot along with massaging your muscles of the forearm to release the tension on your micro tears. But above all things you need to rest it and it needs TIME (like I said there's no quick fix).
I had tennis elbow on my lead elbow due to golf and it took me about 1 year to fully recover (mind you that I was my first and last patient of the day everyday). Like I said I'm a therapist and I have access to all these "tools" and it still took me a long time. But my tennis elbow case was pretty severe. I don't think Matt's case will take this long if it's addressed early and properly.
I have a few PDF files and resources I can send you if you want. Idk how this DM thing works but if you send me your email address I can email them to you.
One last thing - ice massaging the area for 5 minutes at the end of the day helped a lot as well. If ppl tell that you need to strengthen your arm, it could be a trap. Yes you need to strengthen it, but at the right time. You need to be pain free first.
Let me know if you want some of the resources. I'd love to help!
Cheers! ✌️✌️✌️
What's the CPM on the shaft?
So straight! He should play it!!
And you wonder why people fear club fitting 11:37 pretty much sums it up. I did enjoy how Mr. Fraser “Larry’d” Matty into more swings. Well Played. 👍
Also read he has it tipped 1.5”
Another great video and swings. Ian shines away from green as he is wearing green. ;-}
In the WITB on Golf WRX for Champs bag it says he has a 17* G410 3wd. How is this possible, the G410 3wd is only available in 14.5* +/- 1.5 degrees adjustment, unless they bent the hosel but I didn't think you could bend those.
Us mere mortals get what they want us to have. Sponsored tour pros tell them what they want.
@@HarryBase63 I don't know, you think they're going to make a "one-of" for one rookie tour pro?
@@wally6193 Anythings possible I guess. Including a golf columnist getting a spec wrong.
@@HarryBase63 Well that thought did cross my mind, but I thought hey it's his job he couldn't have F'd that up.....could he?
What on Matt’s left arm??
Elbow brace, had some issues a few months ago
Serious Blois
Matty the Machine!
The hulk was an absolute fairway finder. The number weren't bad either.
I just bought a Krank driver 4.5 degree with a triple X shaft and holy crap I had to change the shaft to a X flex
I need some Lefty clubs! My M2 cracked, and my woods are embarrassingly unfit.
The title itself made me hit the like button!!
Matty is one of like 1000 people on earth who can swing this shaft and not look like a fool.
340 yards and circa 10 yards off line! 😳👍🏼💥
I can't find the Rory video.
ua-cam.com/video/WCMPZC6WA2U/v-deo.html
Wouldn't mind one out the middle.... Orrr another 1k subs... good work gents
U tha man Matt. Very kool
Ian loses his sponsorship with his comment he is allergic to green while wearing Glavin Green hahahah
Retest with a green Stiff
Very interesting to see it's only a 60g shaft. Is that because the hazardous shaft is sooo stiff he can play it so light? I thought he'd be in something around 80g.
Depends on swing tempo and characteristics, some players don't do well with higher weight shafts even if they swing fast
@@clubchampionmediaThanks for the reply guys. Great video. Very interesting to hear. I get the ball out there myself a bit and play an older 83g Diamana 'ahina shaft and it bought my dispersion in a lot. Very trusting in it now. But I don't hit it any where near Champ length so was very interesting to see that he can control and trust the 60g shaft. Is there anything you can share about his tempo and swing that allows him to play the lighter shaft?
Sorry to clarify, Cameron uses the 74g version of this shaft, we had the 65g to test here
@@clubchampionmedia Thanks for going in search of that one for me. 74g still amazes me. I wonder what weight he snaps. Thanks again guys. Keep'em coming.
Stripes every shot down the middle - "I can't play this shaft"
What’s causing the swing weight to be so high?
heavy head weight on G410, low (ish) balance point on the shaft
I know the Ping heads tend be be heavier but D8 is very heavy
Has Matt been making some swing changes? He doesn't seem to be standing as tall as he has at times in the past.
Isn't his tipped like an inch?
20 miles an hour faster Matt. Now you know how we feel compared to you.
If he felt the TX version was too stiff wouldn’t the regular X be better? He was killing the TX but maybe the regular C would feel better?!??
wow. first shot - straight as an arrow for Iron Byron!
2nd shot - straight as an arrow…
3rd shot - Matt has a new driver!!!
Someone please help, what shoes is he wearing!?
Nike vapor
I want this shaft so bad. Dont care if I couldn't hit it, its just bling!
MATTY THE BEAST!!!
Was shaft tipped 1.5”
Leo Tong tipped 1”
For a shaft that you said really doesn't fit you, your dispersion is impressive.
What’s Matty’s current driver set-up?
*Matty’s
Same driver but with Ventus black 60x
Ian, why did you invest in GEARS? You have MATTY!
Put my TP 1.5* adapter on a cement steel rod instead of this shaft for more stability.
