    This fitting process blew my mind. The idea of getting more forgiveness for his particular swing by going to a blade over a thicker sole in the 919 forged is amazing. Overly impressed!

    Honestly does anyone ever get anything short of an excellent fit from TXG? I’ve seen dozens of these videos now and every time it seems Ian and Matt can get the best out of the customer. Gotta be one the top fitters in the world!

    Awesome to see the blades performed so much better for Michael. Dispelling the myth that they're "only for tour pros". The turf interaction is something that's often widely ignored. Great job, once again. Best golf channel on youtube for educating us hacks, lol.

    The fitting is incredible guys, I'm in the UK but would love to get custom built with you guys. I'm going for a proper full fitting in December over here and this video has me really excited as I'm sure my current Ap1s are complete wrong for me as I've improved alot. Great video as always boys. Keep um coming and congratulations again to Michael. Thoroughly deserved.

  • @golf007sd2

    Way to go Michael! As the fitting went forward, you started to feel more "in the zone" resulting in a more consistent stroke. I have a feeling, as you move forward to your other clubs your results will be even better; on behalf of all the TXG fans: Best wishes. Moreover, I/we look forward to the other upcoming videos. Again, congratulations on the win!

Great job by Michael too for performing so well under the microscope on the big stage. It's not easy. Just can't say enough about this channel. I won a free full bag fitting this year as well and it completely unlocked my game.

    A proper club fitting. It just demonstrates to me how short changed the vast majority of us get when going to get fit. Most fitters wouldn't dream of putting an 8 handicap in a set of MP-20s and never think about combo sets either. I got fit for the 919 forged in the modus 120's and I've lost distance consistency with interaction with the turf, might have to look at these myself.

    I was 100%same- i strike blades better despite being an average player. thinner sole helped me massively. also having a "blade" made me really focus and concentrate on strike which i guess helped a lot too.
    incidentally i play in florida too- so i wonder if thats partly why i like the narrow sole too, since you mentioned florida turf.

    Interesting fitting. This and Mark Crossfields recent video on "Improvement Irons vs Blades" taking D-Loft into the equation is making me seriously question what type of irons I should go for next, even as a high handicapper. My iron strike is pretty good in terms of location. The "turf interaction" comment from Ian is an eye-opener.
    Interested to see through the rest of the fit if you investigate whether it would be worth Michael looking at Hybrids in the 4 and 5 instead of the irons.

    Very interesting comment about the grip height. I definitely fall into that category, and gripping down does not feel comfortable. Playing a longer shaft increases swing weigh and (generally) can soften flex. Does “extending” length via grip position impact flex?

  • @skimboards4life
    @skimboards4life 4 роки тому

    @TXG Tour Experience Golf Can you please expand your discussion on giving Michael an iron with a thinner sole because he was hitting it a little thick? I would expect normally that you'd give a player hitting it thick a more buoyant sole? I only ask because I am in a very similar situation where my hcp is higher than it should be to play very bladelike irons but when I got fit the Cobra MB/CB was a decisive winner. I too find that I struggle with a depth of strike mis-hit rather than toe/heel. Loving them so far but I think I'm going to come up and see you guys (I'm in London) for a gapping session as I'm having some clustering issues at the long end.
