These videos never get boring. I stopped going to a certain fitter two years ago. I went in for a wedge fitting, and he flat out told me, “ you don’t need to get fitted for wedges. “ he was so arrogant with his pitch. I walked out and found another fitter and left happy. Never underestimate a proper fitting people.
I am addicted to this channel and golf club tech now , this would be my dream job , I have learnt so much in the last year about tech , my game and realised I know barely anything , but it’s clearer more than ever , if you want to play golf for the enjoyment or to get good at it , you would be crazy to buy anything without getting fitted , the amount of time wasted and money buying and trying , a good fitter can put you into some gear that will bring out your best , one thing guys that put you above the rest is your ability to explain to us in terms we can understand , thanks guys the content is informative and entertaining always .
TXG is the absolute gold standard of clubfititing
@Joe Wilkes Hear, hear! Well said Joe!! Ian and everyone at TXG really deserves accolades for sharing in a manner that is clearly intended to educate. That is the sign of a a great teacher and deserves our recognition. I'm so proud that TXG is located in Toronto, I'm just bursting with pride.
How does this only have 14k views... this is by far the best fitting video i've ever seen.
I've been an avid watcher since you guys started and really enjoy your content............the last man as focused on helping golfers as much as Ian, was a gentleman named Karsten Solheim. That's the finest compliment I can think of..........Thank you for all you do!
As soon as I saw his lie angle being toe down I thought for sure you would go more upright in the lie which also may not have made sense since he was hitting them to the left. Handling it with bounce would’ve never crossed my mind! Just plain excellent Ian!!!
Playing the blue ion t7 myself, and I love em. This guy is such a good ball-striker. I was jealous, I’ll admit; Michael is doing so well - I’m super glad he won. Great job, Michael!!!
Do they hold the colour well, or do they fade
Matt?
These guys are guru's that is crazy good fitting
As always 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟vlog
Reiterate s just how important a wedge fitting, with a professional fitter, is so important to your game!!!
He is a very very lucky man - Mr Fraser hats off to you sir!!!💪💪💪👊👊👊🙂🙂🙂
From a technical standpoint, this just might be my favorite of your videos. The impact of changing the bounce (and using what amounts to a PW for a GW to do so) was extremely interesting and eye opening. The last vide on the impact of bounce on different conditions for the same golfer was quite informative, but seeing how it can improve a baseline swing is where the rubber meets the road for most of us. Just another reason to get properly fit!
Ahhh hitting surface during this wedge fit to match turf conditions that Michael might typically play gotta love how TXG works! 👍 Hopefully there will be a touch base future video with Michael and see how his tour is progressing being a full blown Mizuno man!
Love seeing Ian's local Florida knowledge kicking in! I lived in Florida and moved to Texas a year ago and he nailed it with the soft turf. without bounce in that state you are going to STRUGGLE!
This channel is so amazingly right. I wasn't going to say it, but I have to admit it, I'm getting addicted to it. I'm glad for you, Michael; you're doing so well. Ian and Matt, you are both fantastic at what you do and such a good teammate - locking forward to see the next part 👍🏻
I see my favourite contest winner is back. Great!
Fantastic wedge fitting, and very consistent swing with great follow through!
The wedge fitting was dead on guys...outstanding job on the fitting. From what I learned through this session, I just may have to make a few adjustments on my own wedges. Michaels's full bag is looking goooooood!
Steep learning curve again for all. And learning over the benefit of someone else is the best learning there is :) Another most enjoyable vid. Thanks sooo much Ian and Matt.
Excellent fitting with the wedges.
Knowledge is power......
Learned so much with this wedge fitting. Such an eye opener. 👍👍👍
I’d be curious if you guys could do a follow up with him after he’s tried these new clubs back home.
Simply amazing. You guys did a fantastic job.
Great info, I just bought new wedges and now I want to take them back to the studio and make sure I have the right bounce.
This was awesome. Seeing the smile on Michaels face was cool. Great job guys. Let’s go play some golf!!
This is a great series of videos. I love seeing someone with more normal speed get fit.
Best channel bar none..
Addicted
This is such a great series of vids and Michael is doing so well, Respect all round!
Of course, I still hate him for winning the prize.....just not as much as before I started watching the vids
And this is why a fitting is a must and Ian truly is the master. Incredible insight and knowledge to truly optimize wedges with respect to distance, spin, strike, bounce, etc. I'll take the T20's in blue please.
I'm happy to say. I just got two new T20 Mizuno wedges. It's cold and wet here in North Carolina but I can't wait to hit them. Kudos to Mizuno for looking out for the lefties, too.
Absolutely fantastic video 👍👍
I have the T20 60/10 bent to 62/12. I absolutely love it from a turf interaction perspective and I like the fact that it gives me a 3/4 shot at that uncomfortable 60-65 yards distance which I love having in the bag for scoring.
great vid again gent, goes to show its not all BS. ive struggled for years with getting the right gapping and bounce on my wedges as no one really fits them properly. just wished you were closer so I could pop in.
Love these fitting vids. If I win the lottery I'm on a plane for a full bag fitting.
So much good info, to include the top quality fittings on here. Unfortunately, fitting centers like this, at least in my area are non existent, or no one will take the time to spend this amount of time with a mid-high hcp player. Well done guys.
What a great fit!
I didn't think 0.5° change in loft would have that dramatic of an effect. Thats nuts.
Going to be spending a lot of money on new irons and wedges this year, wish you guys were in the uk, awesome fit 👍
At least you know what to ask for now, after watching this
Great job loved watching all three. Hope you set up a follow up with Michael maybe when you are in Florida to see how this fit and clubs has changed his game. I think the lower scores and Hcp will sell people even more on getting fit.
Love the content and have learned so much from watching these videos. When I got my full bag fit we did not go into this much detail which was a little frustrating, the fitting for wedges was simply here are a couple heads what one feels best and based off of my distances I should go 50/54/58. I could have done the wedge fit at a big box store. The rest of the fit was good as I wanted the additional shaft options to try but that's about the only thing that I could not do elsewhere, that and a quick putter fitting that pointed me in the direction of more loft and face balanced.
I'm the same way. Love thin soled irons, cant hit low bounce wedges. Been playing MP range since the MP-60 as well. Swapped to Z785/Z Forged combo and the thin sole with V-sole is perfect for me.
A week has passed, im still jealous :) .. Michael hits them as good as they look
Great complete fitting
Extremely informative with regards to bounce. I always shyed away from any wedges just because I always hit them thin. Now I know why. Brilliant video.
How do you play golf and shy away from wedges?
@@jona823aReferring to Gap and lob wedges. I just use the trusty pitch which is part of my set.
@@wesleyfontaine3438 Oh okay :))
Magic!
One word Quality
Brilliant really enjoying these videos just wish I could have a fitting off you lads I’m sure my game would improve. 👏👏👏
This channel may single handedly take stores like golf galaxy out of business lol off the rack clubs just aren’t the same as getting dialed in. Good work on this fitting, very impressed
WOW! Now that is what I call a fitting.... looking forward to going to TXG Toronto one day..........just don't tell the wife if you see her!!
ahhh so bounce does have something to do with my ball rolling up the face and getting inconsistent yardages. awesome video's thanks guys.
what a lucky boy you are Michael lol
Can’t wait to see if he goes for the blues
The wedge stuff is fascinating to me. Way more so than any other club you can fit, or data you've broken down. Between the wedge and the ball, I can't think of any two bigger eye openers for me.since
Ian love the black and pink shirt.👍
Nice Autoflex shirt Ian!
Honing wedges and irons is the greatest thing you could do for a golfer. It empirically shows them that they need to spend more time practicing their putting, which is what everyone told them to do in the first place :D.
T20’s arrived and gapping session with the new HMB’s this week!
Another awesome vid. Have no idea who downvotes this at all.
Love the videos. Would love to see a review of the Hogan PTX Pro irons.
I’m flabbergasted; all of this fitting has been a series of big surprises. Ian is simply brilliant and very gifted at his craft, it’s truly impressive Ian , bravo! It’s also a bit daunting and depressing coming to all these realizations: that if I tried to select my own clubs using my limited knowledge, I may as well look for a needle in a haystack with my eyes blindfolded and my hands tied behind my back! So many mistakes to be made!
1. Guys on mygolfspy that play off +2 hcps saying they would never play a blade, not enough forgiveness...
2. I didn’t even know you could bend a wedge/ iron 4-5 degrees! And the bounce making all the difference to sweet spot delivery!
3. Did you guys not consider the st190G driver with movable weights?
ST190G only comes in 9º unfortunately, otherwise we would've for sure
Great fitting. Just a point with the fitting these were done with full shots normally with a 60 or 56 I tend to be playing half shots or high ones in. So would the bounce help that as well. Where I play we have very little grass as we are in Drought.
Is it me or are these the 2 nicest guys in golf? I wish I was closer to Toronto to get fit by then but I will say I like the weather here in Satellite Beach 😂
Loved this video as I’ve been looking at buying these wedges myself. Did you pick particular grinds for each wedge e.g S, M or C? Keep up the great work.
Great video guys! I got a new set of irons (set at standard loft and lie) and notice I'm hitting them all low on the clubface and towards the toe. Could adjusting the lie help fix this?
I've recently switched to the MP20 SEL and T20 54,60 but was struggling with fitting the GW even though I have low bounce in the other wedges. This gives me a few ideas and a better understanding of what I need to look for. Any suggestions on the HMB 3&4 for somebody who is .5* flat in irons and 1* in wedges? I struggle with the closure rate of the 919 HM 4i currently.
Great video as always, guys. But could you explain why to correct a toe down strike, you flattened the lie angle? I'd have expected the oposite
flatter lie angle was to adjust ball flight direction, the dynamic lie can be a bit toe down and still be fine for turf interaction
In the iron fitting you used the blades for the shorter irons which I think are low bounce, but for the wedges you added bounce. Can you please provide some insight on this. Thanks!!
How do these T20 wedges compare to the Ping Glide 3.0’s ?
I play recoil 95 regs in my irons, is it "best" to also play in all my wedges? or is 80-100 steel'graphite ok?
Great work boys as always. Ian, are the t20s the same wedges you just added to your bag? If so what degree and bounce options did you choose?
Sean Connor Sean, an updated WITB coming very soon.
Fantastic as usual. Curious how you bent it 4-5 degrees. Most facilities will not bend past 2 degrees??? Or at least that has been my experience. When bending that much are you adding offset? Does it put the eye off?
these are quite soft and easy to bend, in this case they were bent weaker so it reduces the offset
In your opinion can much can you bend Vokey’s or TM Millled Grind wedges?
@11:14 *looking at the wedge, wasn't really paying attention* "oh okay!" Matty could not have cared less about what you were saying XD
Great content guys. enjoy watching every video. Do you know if there is someone or similar company in Australia, as i am looking at upgrading my clubs also
Michael must have been wore out getting fitted for all the clubs in one day! How many swings do you figure he took?
Do you know when next Live Q&A will be? Have some burning questions.
Hi Ian & Matt
Good to see channel still growing well deserved
Ian out of the clubs with strong lofts which one been most players looking would you say was best.
Tend to hit the ball quite high so need a club if hitting 7 iron to have a 7 iron flight
Hope you understand what I’m asking
srixon 585's, callaway apex 19, mizuno hmb, possibly new p790 as well
Thank you for reply much appreciated
I really want to hear how much this helps Michael going forwar d
Want to get these but local stock is poor. Can you get pics of the 4 loft/bounce options on a 58°?
Keen to see the next one with gapping at the top end of the bag; HMB 4i; Hybrid; 3w;4w;5w.....🤔🤓
So impressive that he calls it right from the start not 50...51
I'd want to see if he was able to lower his handicap with his new confidence in his equipment!
Wait what competition did he enter to win a full bag of mizuno clubs
I WOULD LOVE TO GET ANY CLUB FITTING AT ALL
Where are you located? Are you in U.S.? I ‘d
like to have a custom fitting as you showing here to Mike.
Man I went for a wedge fitting this year and this was NOT my experience. They basically just had me hit the different heads and told me it was feel based. It'll be fine but ya - feeling like I don't know what I did. I was hoping for this.
How much for a full bag fitting like this ? Im intrigued
Use Google its on their website. Don't be so lazy
1st!
Now all he needs is a few lessons on how to hit wedges.
This guy must struggle with the putter if he’s off 8 !
