Golf Nerds Only - WITB 2024

Welcome back to the channel! Over the last few weeks a lot of you have been asking me for a follow up from my video at the Kingdom to see what I ended up with in my bag for 2024. So here it is. I go through the specifics of what I’m using and why and hopefully gives you more insight into what I look for when getting fit for clubs.
We’ll have a video soon on the yardages I hit each club where we’ll go into that a bit more as well!
If you like any of the looks that I’m wearing here, or just like Malbon Golf in general. Use my link below! It’s big in helping support the channel 🙌🏼

Only extra thing I'd have like to see is your yardage/spin numbers as you hit each of the clubs. Great video, as a golf nerd this is exactly the kind of thing I enjoy

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Going to do a whole separate video on how far I hit each club and what numbers I’m looking for out of each one 💪🏼

[@doggoronnie3387]

@@RyanRuffelsGolf ah amazing, look forward to it! Your channel is one I'm most excited to follow this year

Love the blades, absolutely agree with the philosophy that using blades makes you focus to hit better shots, also an aussie bloke likes a hardware store aka Bunnings

very good video production mate, well done.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Much appreciated!

[@LagaudeLagaude]

congrats mate for new sponsor!! awesome! great vid, just missing what you did with your 3 wood with your irons meaning why project x instead of other shafts your feel feedback from the 3 wood is also interesting with iron shaft ;) hope you gonnaget great and quick results on next pro mini tours and pga events!! fingers crossed buddy! and we miss you in the YT vid collabs !

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Confused at exactly what you’re asking here! Clarify for me a little and I’ll answer

[@LagaudeLagaude]

@@RyanRuffelsGolf THX BUDDY. sorry I meant what was your process if any to choose project x shafts for your irons and your feelings re these shafts over other shafts. cheers

[@mythosarts]

Malbon has such cool stuff. Congrats mate

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Thanks mate!

[@paulgriffiths1566]

Thanks, mate. Wish you all the best. Also hope you find time for another series with Sean and Kwon.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

That's the plan!

Kwon and Sean.

[@davidmumma4084]

I would be interested in seeing how you use the PVC putting rail for practice. (FYI...saw you for first time on RS. Enjoying your content so far.)

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

I’ll make a short on that soon!

[@rufussthoo4083]

Hi from sunny Queensland, Ryan. Just curious about the process you went through to determine the lie adjustments you've made to the irons and wedges.

[@wks4511]

I like the clothing from Malbon. I first noticed it on Jason Day. Good move.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

It’s baller! I love it too. Appreciate it bro

[@travisolson2286]

I've thought the same way about mbs. They make you more committed so you hit higher quality shots even though off center hits are awful. I've never heard anyone else say that before.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Smart minds think alike !!

[@hjms7977]

I assume the accra driver shaft is a TZ5 proto not the TZ6?

[@michaelhudson4080]

Congratulations on new sponsor

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Thank you!

[@van_der_bo]

Hey Ryan, I really enjoy your videos. Shottracers would have made it even better, because we would have seen you’re different trajectories with the 2 iron or the woods.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

I’ll work on it 🤝

[@nickbertrando9307]

Do you play standard length irons and wedges?

[@jimpyke680]

Thanks for the run down Ruffy, when can we expect you to be playing again mate ?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Just recovering from a few things then I should be back in May mate!

Welcome to the club

[@eriksvideos6022]

Nice bag, but ditch that 2-iron for a hybrid or 5-wood.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

I hit 5 woods and hybrids way too high! Never liked them for me personally!

[@user-ii3or5rn5k]

What’s the sweater you’re wearing in this video?

[@jefferywatts5212]

Can you show us how you practice with the putting rail?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

I can make a short on that for sure!

[@weeceman2006]

Nice setup! What is the green ball arm training aid (name; got it where?)? Good luck this year!

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Watson golf Structure ball! I just got it online!

[@weeceman2006]

@@RyanRuffelsGolf The pro I recently had a lesson with suggested getting an aid like that! Thank you!

[@dirkpeeters3678]

Nice video, could you tell us a bit more about your lofts?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Iron lofts ? Driver? What you looking for ?

[@dirkpeeters3678]

Curious about the irons and how a pro sets these up.

[@lexitivi3682]

hey mate why did u choose the tour issue for the wedges instead of the project x in 6.0 if you prefer a softer option for your wedges? like why not staying with one shaft for everyrthing ?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Just a feel I like mate! Always have run that setup as the S400 feels softer to me therefore easier to hit all my off speed shots with! The 6.0 has a more continuous stiffness through the entire club, while the s400 feels like it has a fraction more “kick” at the bottom! Hope that makes sense!

[@mistrchris]

So, you have a training aid that you couldn't find, so you made it yourself -- the putting rail. I can't be the only one that has no idea what that is. Mind explaining it (and the associated mirror)?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

My next video I’m going to show how I made it, and what I use it for !!

[@freddym6643]

Any specific reason for practicing with a putter rail? According to Sasho Mackenzie's studies, putter arc is not an important metric. Speed control is by far most important, then face angle, then impact location since it affects speed (although it's uncommon to misshit enough to matter), and lastly arc (again uncommon to have a bad enough arc to significantly alter startline). And if you're practicing by dragging the putter shaft against the rail then you're teaching yourself to pull the putter towards you when the rail is gone. Or are you using the rail for some other purpose?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

I work on all of those things mate. But the metric that gives me the best feel on course is my arc. I work against the rail and then move off it and try and mimic that about 1 inch away the from the rail. Speed control is something myself and every tour pro would work on a daily basis too. This for me has just given me a very good feel that I can trust on course for a very long time

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

I’ll do a video on my whole putting practice routine at some point

[@deanh891]

What’s the name of that training aid between the elbows?

Is the fitting video up?

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Yes. Check out my page. Called Training for the Tour

[@BigDawgCAM]

No 5 wood?

[@BigDawgCAM]

Seems like a 5 or 7 wood with help with the problems you have with your 2/3 iron

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Nope I really don’t like 5 woods at all personally. Long irons have always been my strength so not something I’ve ever felt like I needed

@@RyanRuffelsGolf I’ll be entering that for sure. Keep your Aussie golfers kitted out ! 🤌🏽

[@Si-Harris]

Hi mate, how would you know when a shaft is too soft for your swing speeds? I have regular flex pretty much throughout my bag, and if I try swing hard I seem to get inconsistent spin and even low point. I know most of it will be down to my swing technique, but just wondering what the signs are to look for so I don't go making unnecessary swing changes when it's actually the equipment that needs changing. Great video as always mate!

[@K4rN1v00L]

absolute beauty of a vid 🔥👍 i assume you're hitting tp5x on range? who picks them all up and did your have to pay for that GC Quad 🫡🤙🏻

[@sebbi58]

Im guessing there is some kind of marking on the balls that end up getting sorted by the course staff and then back into those shag bags. The quad has the tour strap which leads me to believe he got it free or super discounted.

[@RyanRuffelsGolf]

Yes I use TP5x on the range. Spoiled for sure but lets me get numbers that are identical to what I want to see on course. We’re lucky at where I play there are many pros so they sort our specific ball for us. I paid the tour rate for GC Quad which is a couple thousand under retail

[@K4rN1v00L]

@@RyanRuffelsGolf thanks for the quality response that would be awesome to see some ball data from the quad👀
