I’m ready to take on any golfer now, I know the irons and wedges were crap on this day, but I’ve fixed it after seeing the edit. I’m really in good form now, I just need some good collabs and matches 🙌🏽
Well that was impressive Gaz...I felt sure Sam could improve on the fit at Rudding. The on-course results just confirmed what you felt at your PXG fitting, you weren't swinging at your best and were right to hold off committing to a driver then 👍👍👍
The PXG is a flight I’ve personally never hit before. I think I’ve improved in confidence with driver since sam fitted me for the stealth 2, I’ve taken on board that I needed to tee up and improve my angle of attack, and now I’m doing that, being re optimised with the pxg head is giving me a ball flight I’ve never had before. Very excited to go in to the season confident off the tee, I’ve since fixed my duffs after seeing the fault in edit, exciting times now, can’t wait for some matches 👌🏼
@@garymartingolf A new weapon to beat James with! But on a serious note, the game is looking better and we appreciate your down to earth videos that can help us all. From how to get the most out of a fitting to course management we appreciate all that you do.
Good to see you get sorted with driver finally lol. That PXG is a monster compared with the Stealth2. Only bad thing about this all is, that it's making me feel like I need a new driver, still got my Mavrik, though it is a fairway finder 🤔
All I can advise, is please see a good master fitter, it’s not the heads, it’s more the shaft and fit. They must swing weight you and setup your weights in the head to help you get optimal numbers.
I wish he could rectify himself lol 😂 I’m glad this happened early in the season, it literally rectified it the day after editing the first video from this day. I just needed to see on camera my backswing to know what was happening.
Wish I’d turned up on the day. He got me hitting the PXG driver well, but I just know, if I’d committed to it, I’d of ended up pulling it left as on the day, I was missing the ball so far right! I just don’t know what happened. Had a bad day ☹️
I don’t think an indoor fitting is enough, you need an on course test and also flight against the elements. Wind and grass tees offer a different challenge and focus, simulators are exactly that simulation not reality. My fitter refused to order my club until we had a field test, played three holes with him and we refined things, went for slightly stiffer shaft, and 4 months on, very happy, my playing pals aren’t as i am nearly 40 yards longer than last year. Sounds ridiculous, but it was sorting out spin issues, i had lessons, and my pro didn’t understand my previous spin, it was driver set up. Now happy days
That’s great! Glad you got the right driver in the end. I’ve always been like that, could never commit without seeing it on the course. Although Sam’s fitted me indoors, I did take the final demo products out to test before ordering.
Honestly, I played yesterday against a plus 1 handicap, didn’t miss a fairway, 2 under, and you’d think, why would I change it, but then you see the Pxg side by side and the ball flight is like nothing I’ve ever hit. I would genuinely back myself against anyone off the tee with it 😂 Wait until you next see me play, games proper come together in this last week ⛳️
Good move I thought it might not be the right set up long term. If you get the right head and shaft, I’m sure Sam can tweak the weights as needed & as your swing changes. PXG have loads of adjustability, really good.
Yea, it is good to do another fitting if you're off that day. We have bad days. Not at a fitting, however, I played in 2 different competitions, and the first one was a poor performance driving, while the second was pretty good day for me. That is how golf goes. To be honest, I think that Sam already found your new driver. LOL
Great video! Sam’s the man. I think you should go get the fitting then insist on Sam’s findings in the build. I’ve been playing 50 years and that’s golf. Get one area going great and one or two more areas go away. If I were you I’d go see Chris Denny and I’d bet he straightens you out in short order.
No harm in having a driver set up for a windy day and one for when it’s wide open too. Do sort the short game though! 😂 It’s in your head though, it could be another video if you speak to a sports psychologist about putting previous bad shots out your mind. Negative thinking develops negative execution.
I saw during the edit what was happening! My shaft angle was so steep! Once I got the club laid off, my interaction with the ground just came straight back. Nightmare day though after bombing driver all day.
Cant say im surprised at all, I said it back on that video the fitting was nowhere near good enough, I understand you trying to blame your game as opposed to the fitting etc and im sure that was one factor but there were so many things wrong with the whole setup to staart with! On a positive note just get that black ops ordered, you hit it so so well! Hopefully you and Sam do a quick indoor test for the numbers as a little video 😀
Gary, You need a REALITY check, all this testing nonsense, you can't hit the green from 150yds, then duff the chip. You play 3 Hole golf !!!!! Get out there and play 6 rounds of 18 holes and see your average, are really kidding yourself !!!!
I shot 2 under yesturday against a plus 2 handicap and beat him 5/4. I’d love to play 18 hole golf with someone filming on UA-cam, but I can’t justify the filming and editing for the views I get. If you want a reality check, bring it 😄
@@garymartingolf Ebarrasing !, all this talk about flight, lowering degrees, shaft stiffness, weight etc, if you haven't sorted it out now you never will. Bobby Jones, Mo Norman etc, played with normal everyday clubs, but they had TALENT.
@@CymruRJW Well, the only thing I can guarantee, is everybody will get to see every part of my journey of trying to become a golf UA-camr. I don’t care if I look numpty, that’s real life struggles without re takes like the rest of them who’ve never shot over par.
Get that PXG with Sam's specs, loved the ball flight.
At 72 years young I wish I had your swing Gary !! Cheers from Canada East Coast Halifax .
Is that actually the name of your town, Halifax?
Your driving was a thing of beauty Gaz, looking forward to seeing what you end up with and the settings
I’m ready to take on any golfer now, I know the irons and wedges were crap on this day, but I’ve fixed it after seeing the edit.
I’m really in good form now, I just need some good collabs and matches 🙌🏽
See when u play Robinson
Great work Sam, looks like a much better fit for Gary
Well that was impressive Gaz...I felt sure Sam could improve on the fit at Rudding.
The on-course results just confirmed what you felt at your PXG fitting, you weren't swinging at your best and were right to hold off committing to a driver then 👍👍👍
You hit both drivers well, but the PXG is just WOW 👍!

Great to finally see the pxg driver your hitting boms with that bad boy 🚀🚀

Gaz. You’re playing the short game like Antony is playing football 😂. Great driver.
I wish he could rectify himself lol 😂 I’m glad this happened early in the season, it literally rectified it the day after editing the first video from this day. I just needed to see on camera my backswing to know what was happening.
it’s good to get a driver that’s adjustable. if you got fit on a bad day then you can work with your coach to make some tweaks to the settings
Cant unsee them bowling shoes Sam! 😂👍🏻
My Black Ops driver is superb as was my fitting with Stuart McGrath at Rudding
Wish I’d turned up on the day. He got me hitting the PXG driver well, but I just know, if I’d committed to it, I’d of ended up pulling it left as on the day, I was missing the ball so far right! I just don’t know what happened. Had a bad day ☹️

I remember saying to you, do not take that stealth out of the bag, but that black ops... 🔥

Proper fitter that Sam knows his S**t!
I think you also need to take the ball into account.
Hit a few TM drives with the PXG ball and a few PXG drives with the TM ball.
Good move I thought it might not be the right set up long term. If you get the right head and shaft, I’m sure Sam can tweak the weights as needed & as your swing changes. PXG have loads of adjustability, really good.
Thats the beauty of them, they’re so adjustable 👌🏼
What degree of loft of the stealth and Pxg. Play the taylormade with the Pxg ball and check length of drive.
Stealth is a 10.5 set to 9* (open face) and I think Pxg was 10* set to 8.5* (open face).
Yea, it is good to do another fitting if you're off that day. We have bad days. Not at a fitting, however, I played in 2 different competitions, and the first one was a poor performance driving, while the second was pretty good day for me. That is how golf goes.

Changed two things, ball and club. Which gave the improved performance?
Damn! Good point, I wasn’t thinking in that much detail! I’ll not change the ball again with this kind of scenario.
Great video! Sam’s the man. I think you should go get the fitting then insist on Sam’s findings in the build. I’ve been playing 50 years and that’s golf. Get one area going great and one or two more areas go away. If I were you I’d go see Chris Denny and I’d bet he straightens you out in short order.
I can’t afford him lol
I’ve managed to sort it out after seeing the video in the edit. My swing plane has just got so steep!
@@garymartingolf I can identify with both those points.
No harm in having a driver set up for a windy day and one for when it’s wide open too.
Do sort the short game though! 😂
It’s in your head though, it could be another video if you speak to a sports psychologist about putting previous bad shots out your mind.

Gaz I just put a ventus blue in my driver as well.....absolute monster of a shaft.
It’s a lovely shaft! Its no coincidence that half the tour are using them 🔥
Yeah the black was too much for me, but I can't believe the flex profile and launch characteristics of the blue. It really is something else. 😊
What pxg driver is that and with Ventus velocore+?
It’s the Black Ops Tour 9+ with the VELOCORE plus yes 👌🏼
Cant say im surprised at all, I said it back on that video the fitting was nowhere near good enough, I understand you trying to blame your game as opposed to the fitting etc and im sure that was one factor but there were so many things wrong with the whole setup to staart with!
On a positive note just get that black ops ordered, you hit it so so well! Hopefully you and Sam do a quick indoor test for the numbers as a little video 😀
Hopefully, I’ll drop them a message, definitely swinging well enough to commit now. Thanks Dan
Need to improve on putting, maybe some mini golf!
Love the video, get the driver, but review short irons
What I do not understand is why golfers get fit with balls they do not play,I would refuse to pay for such a service,for example range balls.
That PXG is looking great Gary a bit of tinkering and it will be in the bag
Thought this was about a driver fitting. Seems it's more about U playing golf...
Well done gaz 😊
Gaz everyday is a bad day with yr driver
Get the Ping G 430 10k much better than pxg
So don't trust PXG fitters !!
Gary, You need a REALITY check, all this testing nonsense, you can't hit the green from 150yds, then duff the chip.
You play 3 Hole golf !!!!!
Get out there and play 6 rounds of 18 holes and see your average, are really kidding yourself !!!!
