Amateur golfer gets a PGA Tour calibre fitting

[@AndyCastellGolf]

If you would like to watch the uncut footage of the entire fitting, check the description 😉

[@jacuzziz]

I would like to say that I grew up with your Fifa videos... I got into golf about 1.5 years ago and fell in love and now being able to watch you golf by finding this channel is like discovering your Fifa channel all over again. Glad I could grow up and now support as an adult Andy.

[@iMountain]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite golf channels. Keep it up!

[@tuffeegaming8715]

Love fitting videos, weirdly addicting 😂. Got fitted for Ai smoke driver and 5 wood earlier this year, 5 wood is unbelievable. Great video Andy!

[@owenharris1048]

Great video, gotta be the best indicator of what a good club fitting can do for a consistent player anywhere on KZbin. I really hope you went straight out and filmed a break 80 vid as soon as the new clubs arrived! I reckon they'll all have to be break 75 vids pretty soon! Keep up the great golf content

[@AndyCastellGolf]

Need to get used to my new iron distances And dial back in the short game distance control as the degrees of my wedges has changed But once I do that sub 80 is coming!

[@notsotalentedtim]

tbh I wasnt into golf at all, but since I started watching this I've been introduced to a very enjoyable side of youtube. keep up the brilliant content Andy!

[@akibalosy3680]

same i just started playing golf for 1 week now and i dont understand a single thing about golf but enjoy watching this

[@8evvied]

Great that you cut in and out during the video to make it clear what was going on, as a keen golfer for years I was aware but for newer golfers I can imagine that was handy. Great detail, solid golf channel this. Nice one Andy, Dyche out btw. Up the blues

[@AndyCastellGolf]

Thanks mate 👌🏻

[@jash-yt-1]

Absolute dream of a fitting session. Can't wait to see the results on course!

[@darkwolfrc3766]

This has made me think about possibly getting my own fitting done when i can afford to do so, currently using my dads old Firesteel clubs from about 11 years ago because i cant afford new ones and im hitting a average of 53 on a par 37 front 9. I havent got a handicap but i did a full teaching course about 6 years ago doing a bronze to gold award that my grandparents paid for, this has now made me realise that now im alot better at golf it may just be the clubs

[@darkwolfrc3766]

To itterate further on my comment my most recent game is now 47 on a 37 par 9, and I was about 56 about 6 years ago before I did my lessons -- would love to see the difference if I could ever afford to do the same thing as you Andy 😂

[@peachfluke]

This is the best fitting video I have watched and I’ve watched a few. You asked all the questions other people never ask and I never think about. Discovered your videos last night and you’ve already gained a subscriber. Good job.

[@tuckerplaysdrumsalot]

Something about a golf fitter with an English accent gives me a feeling of trust. This guy and Trottie.

[@technobladefan6461]

Love the golf content Andy keep it up lad!

[@bigbadabeam]

I need a full fitting so bad. Im using Stealth GI irons atm and a 12 degree Draw bias driver, this has explained a lot about why my club head speed isnt converting into distance with the driver (particularly in the wind) and why im launching it so fkin high.

[@FRIESENBERGG]

What’s your handicap?

[@ignis6144]

twelve degree is very high yeah so its going to go high. Just hit it with a lower angle of attack

[@darkwolfrc3766]

You & me both need it 😂 I'm using my dads old set of Firesteel Nike clubs from about 11 years ago, and I'm hitting 53 average on a par 36 front 9 I need some fittings done 😂

[@jing3929]

Cant wait to see how Andy plays with the new clubs. wish he teased where he was going to play next.

[@AndyCastellGolf]

I’ve played some holes at my club, and I love them But I do need to get used to the yardages for the irons, and changing the degrees of the wedges has thrown off my short game distance control a bit Will film a break 80 once I’m dialled in

[@notgoodenough7390]

With such quality of content and presentation, this channel should easily grow ten times as many subscribers in 12 months.

[@duncanmorrison8207]

Really informative video! Chris is super knowledgeable and explains everything really well.

[@user-ei3qr9un9x]

I'd be curious to see you go back to the old clubs once you were warmed up. The dispersion difference would definitely be different

[@ShawnH579]

Great video Andy. I have been doing lessons recently and my swing has changed quite a bit with my club speed increasing quite a bit since I bought my clubs. Currently in all regular shafts and clubs not fitted to me. It’s wild to see in this video the change in your shaft weights and stiffness.

[@JjihwanKim]

How much does this fitting cost and can the average golfer get this fitting?

[@nickk8206]

I went to pxg for a fitting it was 25$ and they gave me a dozen balls for free so technically it cancelled out

[@footballuv97]

@@nickk8206did you have the buy clubs?

[@NJDDSNS]

Fittings from good places run about $250-500USD for a full bag. The cost really is actually buying the clubs.

[@AndyCastellGolf]

It’s £30 and yeah the average golfer can, you book it through your course head pro I believe (but check their website to confirm)

damn cant believe i grew up watching your fifa videos, now ive been getting into golf and you've come up on my home page ahhaha.... loving the vids man

[@robertacierno2803]

Definitely would have liked to have seen the wedge part of the fitting. Shafts and heads. Gapping. Plus the new opus wedges are like a thousand bucks each, so would love to have seen the comparison for you in the different Callaway wedge heads.

[@charliemarkert6480]

they're certainly not a thousand bucks each

[@robertacierno2803]

@@charliemarkert6480 I did use “like” cause I just meant that they cost a lot more than other top wedges. And I’m curious to see them up against the jaws. I own the jaws from a few years ago, and I’d like to see what they developed with opus.

[@AndyCastellGolf]

Same mate Unfortunately someone else was booked in 2 hours after me and we ran out of time after the putter irons and driver Maybe I’ll go back in future

[@mmmizzle]

andy is alive 🙏🙏🙏

[@mufc778]

That difference in shaft with the driver was insane 😮

[@ross1b]

Went for a iron fitting after playing for 10 years.. saw massive gains in dispersion and distance. Just can't find funds for the £1400+ bill unfortunately

Great video andy! Would love a free fitting and golf set to kick off my golfing career! Good job

[@dudderzz1]

Belter of a video! I recently got fitted for my first set of new irons after playing with used clubs and they’ve changed my game massively, going from about a 30hcp to 18 in about 7 months! Question for you, did you learn anything about your game that you didn’t even expect to find out about during the fitting?

[@AndyCastellGolf]

I learnt that I have quite a good driver swing But just didn’t have a club suited to it I thought my driving was awful 😂 and never had any confidence in it Turns out with a more neutral club and a stiffer shaft I can hit some bombs that actually go straight

[@henrystockley1948]

This is class

do you have a link to the tiger workout routine you did? your last video inspired me to push myself in this off season

[@jacks_travels]

Would love the uncut version of the fitting

[@kirkshammett94]

That’s funny. I had the exact same set of ping irons when I got into golf with the same shafts as well. They served me well for a while, but as I got much better, they started to hurt me. I switched to Mizuno pro 243 irons in my handicap literally went from a 14 to 8 in no time

[@AndyCastellGolf]

🙌🏻 unreal mate Hoping I can drop half a dozen shots too

[@kirkshammett94]

@@AndyCastellGolf the way u we’re hitting irons in this video you definitely can. I’m at a 5 handicap now and I suck with driver but my irons and wedges are great

Insightful video 👌🏻 now time to dial in & fine tune them 🏌🏻‍♂️

[@saucydub19yt89]

Did he give any tips on hybrid shafts

[@crankbaitkid555]

Face balance usually is more pendulum style, plumber neck is more flow from then inside. Putter part seems a bit inaccurate

[@AndyCastellGolf]

It’s not inaccurate it’s about balancing it for each individual (as he says in the video, what you’re doing and assuming it’s just one default rule for everyone is actually what is inaccurate) I was using a slant neck which has more flow than the crank hozel/plumber I ended up with I had predominantly toe strikes with the slant neck, and when I went to the complete other end of the spectrum with a double bend I got heel strikes Having the middle ground was perfect for me

[@atamagashock]

The biggest mistake people make when choosing a putter, is definitely the type of neck. For me I need a slant neck for my stroke. If I try and use a plumbers neck, I’m constantly fighting it. I think people would be surprised how much easier a blade can be, if they have the correct neck. I personally don’t like mallet putters. The bulk of them doesn’t fit my eye, or the way I putt. I do have two blades, but I use a Scotty 2.5+, cause it’s a slant neck with a bit more forgiveness being a + model. I even tried those lab putters and just don’t get it. It’s great if they are helping people that struggle putting, but they are not for me. I’ll stick to my slant neck anser style head, it’s been perfect that last 20 years

[@Gurpster]

So how long did you wait before getting fitted clubs?

What does your practice look like now? Is it the same as it was for the tiger woods training you did or more relaxed?

[@AndyCastellGolf]

A lot more relaxed atm I tore a ligament in my ankle just after filming the break 80 video 🫣 so I’ve not practiced much at all Very excited to get back into it especially now I have these clubs that suit my game

[@justinhutson8384]

You need to try the lab putters.

[@Crossy66556]

Love you and the channle ... The most expensive putter was best for you but the only thing changed from you're original is the neck... £400+ fitting 😂

[@zeibz]

How many balls did you hit the full fitting you reckon ? Would hate to get to driver and be worn out like if you do too much at the range

[@AndyCastellGolf]

Only about 50-60 for driver and irons

[@thetyguyshow]

What driver shaft was the winner? I heard 60 gram X Flex Mitsubishi. Is it the Kal'ai blue?

For the driver do you get the max head or the LS?

[@MattyA-ei3ke]

I know the Callaway HQ is pros only (or I think at least) but how much would the same or similar calibre clubs and fitting cost those of us who aren’t lucky enough to be invited out to the Callaway, not a dig or anything just genuinely curious

[@hadesignite]

I was fit at precision golf in London, they’re one of the top fitters in Europe, my full bag fitting was £300 in feb but think the price has gone up a little. Good to go to an independent company as you get the best clubs for you, not just the best clubs that specific brand has for you. I ended up with ping, callaway, titleist and Taylormade clubs in my full bag.

[@AndyCastellGolf]

You can go there as a regular guy I believe you arrange it through your normal club pro, and then it costs 30 quid Guy after me was just a regular golfer

[@imranpatel4612]

As someone who cannot afford custom fit yet and is still starting out, is PINGs colour dot accurate to get some ‘custom fit’ far oversimplified?

[@AndyCastellGolf]

I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking But the dot system is the lie angle (e.g. my blue dot was +1)

[@MD-cm8cb]

Grip size is so important, not just for comfort but for hand pressure too which is so important in the swing

@@hadesigniteprobably the most important part of the club other than the shaft

Maybe one for the future But I also have pretty small hands so can’t imagine getting bigger grips as everyone seems to be pushing 😅
