CAN WE GAIN MEG SOME YARDS?? - 90mph Swing Speed Driver Custom Fitting

[@edwardbrown6245]

Finally a great video with someone with an average 90 so swing speed ..that the average golfer swing speed

This was a great fitting, crazy how central and consistent her strike ended up. If I hit one a round that centered I'd be happy.

[@epgolfstudios]

Me too Erik 😂😂

[@Golfishard]

Great when you can see a fitting with more average swing speeds. Surely appeals to many more golfers. Always amazed by the results you are achieving. Surprised ping are hard to work with, would be good to see you with their products as options

[@canuck_gamer3359]

Excellent point!!!! So many of the golf channels get this wrong- demonstrations by great golfers are of virtually no use to the rest of us! Show us your technique working on a weekend warrior and THAT will get our attention! I'm so glad you said that! lol. Now I know I'm not the only one who feels that way!

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks Golfishard! Appreciate that 👍 and yes we have been having some communication with them recently but honestly even getting a response is like getting blood from a stone! Not even sure we want to work with them at this point 😂

[@epgolfstudios]

@@canuck_gamer3359 i think Golfishard was more referencing swing speed rather than ability

[@Golfishard]

Both! Slower swing speeds must be the most common. Realistically, ability to deliver consistent strike just isn’t there among amateurs. This is also where it would be nice to see ping equipment given it’s known to be more forgiving. I would be interested in a fit if ping was an option in the line up, especially driver hybrid fw.

Great fitting session. Meg's has such great tempo...beautiful golf swing.

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks Brian 🙌👍

[@evandh1989]

Her swing is so good I was shocked when her first few balls flew only 180 yards. Glad you got her out over 210 carry now. That TSR is miles better than what she was gaming.

[@davewalker5387]

Real interesting session especially as my own swing speed relates to Meg's. Great to have those numbers displayed too so we see exactly what's going on.

[@robmatthews4680]

Such a great, efficient swing!

[@johnatchley9754]

Excellent fitting. Her swing speed makes it especially useful for me, even though I am a 5 foot 11 inch 218 pound male. That may sound odd, but I am also 82 years old so my swing speed is about the same or just a bit lower than hers. With a 10.5 degree head and 54 degree R flex shaft, and being a little bit off my best form as a result of some age related degeneration of my right knee meniscus, I’m getting 118 - 124 ball speed and 190 - 205 carry. So your results with Meg make me think hey, just possibly I might get a similar improvement with your expert and creative approach. Thanks for this.

[@jesusortiz9100]

I'm so glad to see this. It goes to show that the TSR3 being for more higher swing speed players is a myth.

I think this is amazing to show what a proper fitting can do for your game. Also its crazy to know someone with a 90mph swing speed and someone with a 111mph swing speed can use the same driver head. Great video well done.

Men amateurs relate to female professionals as the swings speeds are similar, but we could learn lots re accuracy. I like that Meg relies on her swing rather than striving for distance with effort.

[@billg3535]

Great content, and her swing speed is similar to mine as I’m now clearly a senior golfer; thus this very relatable for me. What was the final swing weight was for her new setup?

[@PauloG100]

I just took the sliding weight out of my TSR3 to see what it does to swing weight. It is an 8gr weight and moved the swing weight from D5 to D1.

[@billg3535]

@@PauloG100 thank you for that info. If you decide to try to play it that way, I would be very interested to know how impacts everything-ball flight, dispersion, distance, feel, etc.

[@PauloG100]

@@billg3535 I will try it on the course. I did experiment on a launch monitor today and I was not sure either way, but I didn’t feel I was fully ‘on it’ so I am not writing it off just yet.

[@DuxEtRex]

This just shows that I definitely need a driver fitting.

[@krusher74]

Would the higher swing weight/shaft droop and her setting up to the middle of the face be causing all though heel strikes? I was told you should set up with the ball slightly to the toe to hit center

[@cryptoking8060]

With the Aerojet you MUST lower tee height. I lowered mine by over an inch and that's when I starting piping it. Center strikes were easy. It did not like high tees at all. I hit a tad flatter ball but they were as long as high launch heads. Most importantly I hit way more fairways with lower tee height and flatter ball flight, same overall length. Win win. If I want to hit a high launch ball I'll change drivers. But the Aerojet is money for accuracy and length.

[@epgolfstudios]

I think that will be different for every player and depends on a lot of things. But glad you found something that works for you and hopefully it remains a great driver for you 👌👍

[@Aaronfps2]

Love watching ur videos

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks 👍👍

[@Baz303]

Really enjoy watching these fittings. Couple of questions. Do you not stock Ping. Do you ever ask what ball people play or do you tell them to bring their game ball. Surely different balls can add or lower spin ?

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks Baz. And no we do not stock Ping. They are extremely hard to do business with apparently!! 🤦 But their loss! And I don't recommend balls when doing driver fittings really, only because the ball will make waayyy more difference to the irons and wedges, it will only make a very marginal difference to driver (most people wouldn't notice it at all) so without analysing their irons/wedges I don't want to recommend something that could be detrimental to the rest of their game.

[@Baz303]

Good to know thanks. Only asking as I'm going for a driver fitting and was wondering if I should take the ball I use. Wouldn't hurt I suppose. Wonder how many people have got great numbers with a pro v1 in a fitting then got on the course and pulled a srixon distance out the bag 😁 Keep up the good work love the videos 👍

[@epgolfstudios]

@@Baz303 yes always a good idea to use your gamer ball for sure. Again with driver it really wont make a huge difference. But if you're doing an iron fitting though, that's where I really make sure the ball is taken into account

[@golfnut6129]

Great fitting and video. I’m not sure some people realise how correctly fitted can have such a positive impact on their game, especially from the ‘mental’ aspects, before you even swing the club. Why do Ping not feature in your range?

[@epgolfstudios]

Exactly that! Confidence is key! And Ping just won't communicate with us at this point. They are very pro green grass pro shops. And we are not that, so getting an account with them is proving hard

[@TheBooze13]

Great fitting video wish I had some fitters with your skill set around me

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks thebooze! Where abouts are you?

[@lilvfr400boy]

After watching this I’m more confused in a way - so I’ve been planning on getting a pxg fitting thinking somewhat this may help (generally hit fairways no issue ) but wanted to clear my push fade and feel like my current driver is causing this mostly. But now feel like maybe this sort of multi head fitting maybe better ? Great video, such a great tempo swing

[@jbweezer]

PXG can move the amount of weight in 3 locations in the driver in almost unlimited variations, that's how they can mute your miss tendencies. And if your swing changes its super easy to adapt their driver head because of their weighting system. They have two heads regular and extreme forgiveness. You can definitely be properly fit between the two. I have their Gen 5 head and have tweaked it around with the weights after my swing improved. I just got fitted for a new shaft in the same head and gained 20 yards and only had to change some of the weighting to accommodate the new shaft characteristics. It's great. Plus the same weight style are used in their fairway woods and hybrids. So if you buy the extra weight kit you have endless fine tuning options in all your long clubs. I don't work for pxg just been happy with the product and the tuneability.... Helps to future proof your setup for awhile if anything changes in your swing or you want to change ball flight characteristics. Cheaper than always buying new clubs!

[@ryajsmit]

Nice on the eye - and I’m not on about the driver 😅

[@gregcarnall9097]

Hi, you make the best fitting videos on youtube, really love how you drill down. I have a similar tempo to the golfer in this fitting but swing it around 95mph. Im 55 and slowed down a little now, could i ask if you think i would be ok in the Stiff Flex Hzrdus CB Red 60? Im currently in the Tensei Blue 55 gram reg, but i think i spin it a little too high and have a two way miss. Im half decent playing off 6.5, but feel i lack a bit of consistency. I would love to come for a fitting but think you are too far away. Thanks

[@epgolfstudios]

Hey Greg, thanks, really appreciate that and glad you like the videos. The answer is yes but the reality is the only way to know what will work best is by testing it. Don't change shaft to try and reduce spin, that won't work. Shafts are just a timing device, they help find strike and deliver the face square on a more consistent basis. So change for better strike and more directional consistency. But trying to figure out which shaft gives you that can be tricky. I'm not going to say shaft flex is completely irrelevant, but most people I fit can't tell if I give them a regular or a stuff and it rarely makes a big difference to the outcome of the results (when it's the same shaft at the same weight) so don't get too caught up in what flex, just test out different shafts and play what works the best 👍

[@gregcarnall9097]

@@epgolfstudios Good advice, ive just watched another of your videos with the guy swinging at around 93-94 which is similar to me. I noticed he ended up with the Tensei 55 blue reg and the TSR 3 driver giving him the best numbers. I have the TSI2 driver 10 degree currently, so maybe i might be better off trying the TSR3 head with my shaft and see if that works for me? I struggle with strike a little so i might even try losing 1/2 inch off the shaft also, low heal is my bad miss!!! Great content, where are you based out of interest?

[@chrismccarthy1535]

Great video. Didn’t see any comments concerning the counter balanced shaft. How much did this play into the more centered strike? Was this shaft the only CB?

[@gbaxy]

Great fitting to see the process and almost going away from the Titleist to confirm how good it was! Would you not have considered the TSR1 to go with the lightweight theme…or would that have spun more? Also is there a ‘blank’ to cover the weight port having removed it on the 3?

[@epgolfstudios]

Yeah the 1 would have just spun a lot more. And we made the 3 into a 1 anyway by removing weight. 👌 No blank needed with the 3 as it's a weight track and not a specific hole 👍

[@77bovi]

Always learning lots from your videos. This video reminded me of a question that's been nagging at me. After adjusting a driver hosel away from the standard setting, how should one line the club up to keep the hosel adjustment "in use". Callaway and Titleist have a 2 cog system which I believe retains the grip's original orientation so we can grip as per normal and the head should be oriented as adjusted, but for single cog hosels, I dont know what to do. Have a cobra 9deg head and turned it up to 10.5 to get some height/spin and close the face, but the grip is now oriented clockwise close to 90deg (not sure how exact). For each hosel adjustment do we square the face and grip it? Or grip it based on the supposed new orientation of the grip - thus allowing the face to move? Thanks!

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks Bovi, glad we can help 👍 and it's only Callaway that always you to keep the grip in the same orientation. Which is why most manufacturers have a 360 grip on their woods as standard, so when you move it around it doesn't make any difference to grip orientation. But as for lining up the face square it depends on a lot of things really. Thinking about what you need at impact being one of the biggest things. So if your are adding loft to help close the face through impact and the club sits closed at address, just let it sit closed. For me I personally always just get the right head at the right loft to have the face sitting exactly how i want it to. That's always really the best idea. Just get fitted properly and then everything should align how you want it to and that should compliment the shot you are trying to hit 👌

[@77bovi]

@@epgolfstudios thanks Ross, would it be correct to say after hosel adjustment just grip with the shaft vertically straight and then set the head down (and let it sit as it lies)? Sadly where I am (Singapore) the only proper fitting is with Titleist and all brands are run by whoever is the distributor-slash retailer (which in my own and others experience is a self fit at best but really a sales fit). There is no independent fitter here who has access to the major brands. golftec here has titleist mizuno and 1 other brand iirc. Nothing like what you offer.

[@ChiliHotKey]

does trackman generally inflate smash factor because those numbers and strike look great, but she is still rarely over like 1.42-1.44. i havent done that much testing but after 5-6 sessions (all on trackman) im very rarely under 1.47 with an average of 1.49 so thinking they are abit different. Otherwise my numbers are close to identical to megs except im a little more in-to-out so really fun video to watch. Main difference is i look like i swing at 95%, while meg looks like she swings at like 50% with that buttery smooth swing

[@epgolfstudios]

Yeah she does swing it very smooth! And Trackman and GC Quad measure swing speed differently, GC Quad measures swing speed higher than on Trackman, hence why the efficiency or smash factor numbers are different

[@barriedavies333]

The two recent fittings I’ve seen end up with drivers without the weight added. Do you find this regularly? Another impressive fitting 👍

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks Barrie. Not that often with the weight completely out but I will very often put lighter weights in the head. 👌

[@andrewglover1739]

Great fitting. Very interesting to watch the process. How much in your experience do the gains depend on the head? If you copied everything about the set up as close as possible on another model would the performance drop off?

[@epgolfstudios]

The actual launch and spin numbers pretty much all come from the head. So really optimising distance it mostly in the head. However getting a shaft / weight / swingweight combo that allows you to strike the ball as consistently as possibly helps fully utilise the performance that the head offers 👌

[@martinwilliams4759]

Was a great fitting and the Titleist just simed to work

[@epgolfstudios]

It certainly did! And that's not to say it's necessarily a better drive than all the others. I just find in fittings certain clubs gel better with players. And the Titleist sure did for Meg 🙌

[@canuck_gamer3359]

I wonder if I might get an answer to a question here that I've been pondering for a while now. I didn't know what a fitting was and last year I ended up with 3 drivers. Now that I've seen a number of examples of what can be accomplished through a good fitting, I am interested but there is no way in the world I am going to buy another driver. So, would it be possible to get a fitting where all I am looking at is the best possible combination of the 3 adjustable drivers I have and with the option of buying a shaft for one of them? Or is that not something a fitter would do? Not that it matters but my numbers are similar to this person's and I would also be thrilled if I could drive the ball 230-240.

[@epgolfstudios]

Yes that is absolutely something that can be done 👍👍

[@michaelrayrodriguez4526]

Great fitting, I am finding the TR Red is causing more spin with the driver..why didn't you try the hzrdus red with other heads?

[@epgolfstudios]

Go try get some proper data on quad before buying a new shaft, shafts really don't change spin much, I did do a comparison of the Black Vs the Red on my channel. And the HZRDUS Red is a stock Titleist shaft and is not stock in for anyone else.

Strange how much better the results were with that Titleist. Some of the other brands with the similar shaft specs should have been a little closer. I would like to know how she got into the original set up. Wasnt hard to see how wrong it was for her even after a couple swings. But looks like she got what worked best in the end. A good fit.

It's funny because she had same original setup I had because I just bought the stealth and not fitted.

[@pgowan357]

@@rayyou7032 In my opinion you don't have to be a fitter to know the original shaft was to much for her swing speed. The fitter says that the shaft has little to do with it but I have seen the opposite. Would have like to have seen that off the shelf shaft in that Titleist.

[@rayyou7032]

@pgowan357 I know the fitter knows his stuff but I definitely think the shaft matters alot more than he said but yes the driver heads are probably most important especially when they are $600.That TSR 2 is an awesome head and I had similar results with the hazardous smoke shaft but when I tried the CB it gave me a Lil more.

[@ianhenderson2668]

Great watch👍 Do you find in your fitting experience that normally a stock shaft will do the job or do you think there’s much to be gained from aftermarket upgrades such as Ventus Velacore?

[@epgolfstudios]

Thanks Ian. It really does depend on the standard and speed of the player. But I probably sell 85 to 90% stock shafts I would say. For the vast majority you will see no gain in an aftermarket shaft.

[@jameslynch4042]

I have a feeling this might become the most watched video.

My question is this, the Hzrdus Red CB produced the best numbers for Meg so why didn't she test it in all the heads she tried. Was it a head/shaft matchup?

[@mauricegauld7116]

Did you try the TSR1 driver on this test and how do you think the TSR1 would compare across different swing speeds

[@epgolfstudios]

TSR1 just spins a lot more than the 3 so it would go a lot higher and nowhere near as far. Clubs need to be fitted for the delivery, not the swing speed👌

[@ianpierre7020]

Is there any way you can film someone between 100-105 club head speed🙏🏾… would love to see the different combo you have that golf swing with

[@epgolfstudios]

I'm sure we will have someone at that speed soon! But always remember speed is far less important than how you deliver the club, so if I fitted someone at 100 - 105 club speed for a combo you could end up with something completely different. All depends on how you swing it 👍

[@tedbland403]

It would be interesting to know how she did when she played on a course after the fitting.

I don't think Meg ever got the Titleist driver in question because she ended up getting a TaylorMade contract not long after this

What about TSR1? It’s meant for slower swingers. I’m a 90 mph swinger and was considering that club. Have you fitted anybody with it?

Spins loads so for Meg all it would do is lose loads of distance with no accuracy or forgiveness gain

[@batman48195]

@@epgolfstudios thanks! I didn't know it was a spinny head.

[@epgolfstudios]

@batman48195 yeah generally anything marketed as 'more forgiving' or for 'slower' speeds of generally very spinny. Which for some is good but if you are trying to maximize carry you want to work on hitting up on the ball quite a bit and if you do hit up on the ball quite a bit it's unlikely you will want one of those heads. The 1 model is lighter but then all Titleist have adjustable head weights anyway so you can make them as light or heavy as you want 👌

[@adamvlassis4090]

So from what I’ve seen in the last two videos I should be getting a tsr of some kind.

[@epgolfstudios]

The C6 Onyx is the Stealth 2 is slightly CB. But the HZRDUS Red is a stock option in Titlesit but not in anyone else, so if it works in the Titlesit then that's by far the best option, and it stood out head and shoulders above the rest 🙌 plus there's not actually many CB shafts out there tbf. Not proper ones anyway

[@patrickbeach3070]

@epgolfstudios not proper ones is the key word hahaha

[@danielfrancoeur8345]

Being a fitter, I feel he should have put the Hrdz red in the other heads, especialy the Stealth 2 because the customer prefered the look and feel of the head.

[@epgolfstudios]

Taylormade dont offer that shaft unfortunately. And with it being a stock shaft I don't have the universal tip on it. Plus the amount extra it would cost to have that shaft in the Taylormade head it would be a pretty easy win for the Titleist anyway as we were getting everything we wanted out of that head. Plus I just think it's a better head anyway 😂

When you found a good start with the Titleist TSR2 & HZRDUS Red CB shaft, why did you try totally different head/shaft combinations? Instead, why didn't you try different heads on the same shaft and/or different shafts on the same head? Or try different length/SW combos? Basically narrow down an already good combo to make it great? Instead, you spent all your time trying very different combos and only tried the TSR3 at the very end when she was likely tired and she wound up with a good, but not a great fitting.

[@epgolfstudios]

50 👍

[@razor7241]

With her clubhead speed, why didn’t you try the TSR1 head with like an Autoflex shaft?

[@krusher74]

He is working with the shafts that are options with the various heads, putting autoflex in any of those heads would probbaly up the final price by £500.

[@epgolfstudios]

And the rest 😂

[@epgolfstudios]

But the set up you refer to would have been very close to the Aerojet with Brava shaft. That shaft was brought out to rival autoflex. Probably could have taken even more head weight out and tested that but honestly the numbers we were getting from the TSR with a stock shaft never would have been bettered with the autoflex. Plus the only reason for TSR1 is low headweight but I adjusted the head weight anyway. So the TSR1 just spins a lot more than the 3 so would have lost distance

[@razor7241]

@@epgolfstudios Makes sense. I know not everyone is going to want to or can pay the price of an Autoflex shaft. I was more interested in the TSR1 head as it is light and really good for slower swing speed players. I am 76 years old, still play at a scratch hndcp and got a TSi head with an Autoflex shaft about 2-3 years ago or so and picked up 15 yds carry and have NEVER hit the ball straighter in my life. Since then, 4 of my friends have tried my club with similar results and got the same club. You did a great job with Meg (man she’s cute). I’m sure she is over the moon picking up that kind of distance. That’s really hard to do when you are already a really good player! Well done!

[@epgolfstudios]

@@razor7241 the TSR1 is lightweight yes but again when you can take weight out of the 2 or 3 head then that just matches the same weight as the one. Then it's all about the best spin profile for you. If you are someone who hits up on it a lot then the lower spinning 3 head will help increase distance a lot. If you need more spin then the 1 head will be better for you 👍

[@bruceseaman6592]

My swing speed is the same yet avg 202 carry....im of for a fitting

[@awalsh8011]

Not sure why you don’t find a shaft that works first and then swap out heads?

[@epgolfstudios]

This is just how I like to fit. Test more variables this way. Plus head is really more important than shaft so you'd prob do it the other way around if anything.

[@krusher74]

Becuase if that shaft isnt a stock option with the head its going to be a high upcharge.

[@gm_ahmed]

How is she reaching these distances with her slow swing speed? I should be able to get 300yards on my 100mph swing speed on my tsr2 but i don't 😅

[@epgolfstudios]

Meg hits up on it quite a bit and normally hits a bit of a draw too so that's a very good delivery to optimise distance. With 100mph normally around the 270 mark is optimal. But again there are lots of variables in there.

[@johngibson2639]

I saw a video recently by Matt Blois (now called Golf Liberty on YT but used to be at TXG) who suggested roughly 2.4 yards carry per mph clubhead speed. On that basis, I don’t think 300 yards is realistic at 100mph - 250 carry, 270 total perhaps.

[@epgolfstudios]

@@johngibson2639 absolutely correct John 👍 really for 300 outside I would say you'd need to be close to 110 on quad in all honesty. Depending on where you are in the world of course! Here in the UK in winter time with zero roll out you probably need closer to 115 😂

[@gm_ahmed]

Oh wow you guys sre spot on! I think that's my exact carry.. Then how fast should my speed be too reach 300yds? What about 300meters?

[@kennysingletary4490]

With her swing speed, why not the TSR1?

[@epgolfstudios]

Because it's a much higher spin head than the 3. Plus we reduced the head weight anyway and thats only positive of the 1, unless you need more spin

[@jeffsharp104]

Why would you go with 9° instead of 10.5° head, slower speeds usually need more launch angle?

[@epgolfstudios]

You would lose distance because 10.5 would spin too much

[@glenburr6755]

Lots of LPGA pros use lower lofted drivers because they hit up on the ball more than the PGA tour guys.

[@jjeffrey6945]

Too bad these types of fittings are not what you get at 99% of golf shops. Generally it’s find the club you like the most and the salesman sells it to you. Even fittings you pay for are limited to what the shop sells and that what its all about. 😢 if it was local I’d sign up today !

[@alarmservicepros]

Moral of the story. She went from a heavy 10.5-degree driver to a stock lighter 9-degree driver and picked up distance. She needs a shorter shaft as well.

[@epgolfstudios]

Whys that

[@alarmservicepros]

Because she's pushing and pulling drives. A shorter driver will straighten her out.@@epgolfstudios

Hard to judge when she keeps hitting it too high on the face with some setups. Seems like distance is all about less backspin

Would love to see the tsr1 with the same shaft. Nelly Korda set up before moving to taylormade

It would just spin more. Prob be a little more left biased too. So neither great for Meg 👍

Ridiculous results!

[@ericjencson9489]

You told her 45.5 inches is probably too long for a lot of people, yet the first shaft is 45.5 inches.

[@epgolfstudios]

True and true

[@mattmoore9790]

For her club head speed, 90ish, below 2500rpm spin is trouble. She needs spin to keep the ball in the air. My daughter is 12, swings her driver 90-92, it seems optimal for her is around 3000 spin at around 12-13 degree launch angle

[@alexshearer3227]

According to trackman carry optimizer, 90mph clubhead speed at +5 angle of attack, ~2,600 spin is optimal. If trying to max out total distance, it’s closer to 2,000

[@mattmoore9790]

@@alexshearer3227 I agree, but at 2000 spin the misses would be punishing

[@alexshearer3227]

@@mattmoore9790 agreed. Very consistent striker might be okay tho.

[@epgolfstudios]

When Meg middled the TSR3 it was 15 launch and 2500 spin. Perfect. Again it's not about speed or the loft of the head, it's all about delivery. Everyone will have differently optimised numbers because of different delivery. And yes correct if a very straight player wants to play a bit closer to the edge to get more distance then they can play a little lower spin. Yes miss will be a bit worse but if you're hitting it around 220/230 and you're a good player it's far less likely you will be in trouble that often

If she is consistently out the heal, her club ball setup should be adjusted, centre club with ball should be reset 15mm to the inside of the ball, would create a centre strike, Move back from the target slightly, the club would be closer to the horizontal centre rather than high face,

That’s how far I hit my 5 iron. I don’t understand why she doesn’t swing faster? Most women should get at least 230 yards. She looks young and fit. Or is this normal?

[@glenburr6755]

Average drive for women is around 150 - 175 yards.

[@davidfletcher6836]

Lpga players only hit it around 260-270 with a few exceptions. Most average male golfers will only hit it about as far as Meg did. So many players have never been on a launch monitor so couldn’t really say how far accurately they hit it.

[@peterhammer6915]

230y with a 5-iron is PGA Tour level. It has absolutely nothing to do with this video.
