Golfing with Gen: What’s in the Bag for 2023

[@roberthorridge5006]

Just so you know, the ProV1x is a higher launch and HIGHER spin ball compared to the ProV1. The 23' models, both balls are a little closer in spin but the statement I previously said is true.

[@Drums-ve8on]

I could watch your swing for hours!

[@KevenSandoval]

According to titleist, the pro v1x spins a little more than the pro v1, especially in the irons.

[@robcostello9050]

Hi Gen, I had a custom fit with Titliest performance centre at Woburn Golf Club in the UK and its was 3 hours long and they gapped me for wedges irons and woods. They also recommended the ball to use. They recommended a pro-v1 ball for summer conditions and pro-v1x for colder conditions. You should fly over and try this service. There is a 2 month waiting list but its so worth it, and they go through the whole bag.

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Wow why is there a 2 month waiting list?! We have that here too but maybe not as detailed seeing as it is that high in demand where you are 🤔

[@rg20322]

I love the fact that you brought out the 5 iron - it's a great comfort club for me. However, wedges are something I struggle with, and this video is SO helpful! Good luck with your game and hope you get more chances on the Pro tour! Keep it going!

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Can be beneficial for many situations so definitely felt like I wanted it back in the bag at some point! Glad the video helped! 😊

[@anthonyrobinson2292]

I came home a little late. 14 minutes but I caught up. I liked this. My train of thought. My kind of video. 👍

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Hehe thanks Anthony! 😊

[@hkp9257]

The ball will make a huge difference for specific players. I would highly suggest to get a ball fitting (with the whole bag incl putter). Buut, pleease, take balls within your budget. If you have to think about how much that golfball is, you wont be able to hit it. The feel and the spin number should roughly be within a good window. Now that you only use t hat ball, you will have more constant ball flights. Annd, if you go to a fitting, bring your own ball! For the Range the ball doenst matter that much because You work on your delivery/speed/contact/... Everything what happens after the ball contact doesnt matter :) And btw, great video. I might have liked to know what shafts/lofts you are using, but that might be too nerdy :)

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Haha I’m using zelos 8 for the irons (just to tickle your nerdy brain) 😄

[@pilsberry]

This is super helpful for someone like me who doesn't have all of my gapping figured out yet. Thanks!! So much good detail, especially for the wedges which is confusing and daunting to figure out personally.

[@hkp9257]

If you have an somehow constant swing, get a gapping session with your local pro. Let them also check the loft/lie of all the clubs. If you have an gap or a club that always goes left/right, they might be able to adjust that with bending a club. But just to know how far you will hit your golf ball, is a huge benefit to your game. Its hard enough to take wind, the lie of the ball, type of gras and the slope of the underground in consideration :)

[@pilsberry]

@@hkp9257 That is so kind of you to provide this kind of high level insight to an internet stranger like me! 🙏🏼Much appreciated and I think that’s exactly what I need, on top of getting some proper lessons 🫣. Thank you!

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Yes, exactly right, thanks @hkp! 😊😊

[@bruceford9413]

Glad you got the launch monitor. My flightscope has a conversion for range to regular but really as you said in passing it depends on your level of play. I found that to gap properly i had to hit my regular balls on a grass range. Hahaha and then there is the wind and elevation and humidity..........i found tech is a very useful guide but at your level the human computer needs to be spot on

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Haha yes for sure. The tech is there to guide but definitely not something we want to rely or obsess upon I feel

[@fuzzygolf8497]

Really interesting to see your different shots and distances with each club, thanks for sharing

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

[@daveyfour99]

Hey Gen... nice sticks... I've never tried PXG but these look sweet... looks like they performed well this week in Sun City. Thanks for the video. 😎☠✌

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

I’ve never tried them either! Haha but these ones are pretty sick if I do say so myself 😉

[@paulrenahan6777]

I haven't seen a 4 wood before. I currently have 3, 5, and 7 woods. Food for thought. Thanks

[@erik2446]

Thanks for all the detail! Very interesting to see the shots and the yardages. Titleist woods are great

[@aitakahashi2229]

OMG, Gen! You and I are almost identical on carry distance, except that I don’t play a hybrid. I reverting back to my 3i, 4i and 5i after trying several hybrids/utilities through the years. Your 7w is a bit longer than my 5w, but my Driver is further on average. But of course your consistency is WAY better and thus my 10 hdcp doesn’t even come close to you. I hope to hear one day that you’ll be visiting Hawaii. If/when you do, the first round is on me! ❤

[@bruceford9413]

You are solid

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Would love to 🥰

[@jimkang6562]

I like the driver, 4 wood and 7 wood set up for coverage and versatility with the least amount of clubs at the top. Looking fabulous and that can't hurt. Wish you all the best for next season.

[@Sawan2611]

Hi, I enjoy watching your golf swing and I am thinking to myself that I am lucky enough to have opportunity to learn how to play golf about 3 years ago. I really enjoy the game but it is quite a challenge to hit all variety shots and using all the clubs.. The past month I visited Kuala lumpur I stayed on apartments with the pool on top I noticed that I can see the huge golf courses I just wonder this must be one of them that you played and made the video here ! I took the whole month to visit 3 countries Singapore, Malaysia, and Bali Indonesia. At the moment I am writing this I still feel the jet lag and the time zone. I like how you explained along while playing the game. You have very consistent putting.

[@perrywannamaker1969]

Gen have you considered a full bag of PXG gen5 or 6.I play the gen6 and absolutely love them, the sugar daddy wedges are sweet, best of luck from 🇨🇦👍💯⛳️

[@lkae4]

Fascinating wood selections. I play a 9w and a 6 1/2w. Might put the 4w back in the bag but it was pretty disastrous last year.

[@jeffcella9019]

Hi Gen! Kk so last video you hit your 7 wood & 4 wood.. I really wanted to ask about but I was hyper focused on your socks😂😂 I like your new set up 👍 I game 9,7 & 5 wood. 😊

[@GenevieveLingGolf]

Hahahaha those socks can do that 😂😂

[@albertwang8922]

wow, the club distance infomation are so useful! I just found I am hitting about 10 yards shorter for every club.

[@midlifebiker7424]

Hitting those sweet...... Went through my clubs this morning and had to drop the 3W for 3H, just cant get any consistency with the 3W....

[@rayfreeman2305]

I had been playing a Driver, 3W and 5W but the consistency was not that great. The pro at the shop I deal with said I should drop the 3W and get a 7W so now I have Driver, 5W and 7W and my game has improved dramatically. I am 83 so his comment to me was "if you are not reaching the longer par 4's with the 3W second shot why do you have it in your bag" because in his opinion the 3W is the hardest club in the bag to be consistent with for most people unless their handicap is less than 10. He was so right, and now because of the higher confidence level I am hitting my 5W about the same distance as I used to hit my 3W. For example on the par 3's that I used to use my 3W on I now use the 5W and am doing just as well.

[@midlifebiker7424]

@@rayfreeman2305 7Ws are becoming popular Ray. Have you tried rescue/Hybrids? Not that you need to change as sounds like you have what you need. The 2 courses I play are very different, one is links and the other parklands. The rescue goes better on the links surface and flight stays lower into more windy conditions. The woods are ok on the parklands course as the ball sits up more on the fairways, however I only use it twice in a round and can get away with the rescue. Find what fits and practice. I did drop the driver for the 3W for a few rounds as an experiment but it was less accurate so back to driver. Cheers from Oz..

[@tootalazaaz]

You hit each shot so straight.

[@TheWarthogInstitute]

Best of luck this year Gen 🙏

[@petermurphy7627]

Thanks for sharing Gen, good luck for the 2023 season I will be cheering you all the way 👏👏👏

[@Philar72]

I have Cobra single length irons 5-Gap with senior flex shafts. I need to replace my 4 hybrid with a 7-wood. I need to get my 5-wood with a flex shaft consistent with my Taylormade driver and 3wood. I also need a longer shafted sand wedge consistent with the rest of my irons. I have two Dunlap putters which I switch out. Hopefully I will get back out as my vision has improved to 20--40 corrected with lenses. My depth of field is really bad, so I need to stay out of bunkers since I'm not allowed to ground the club. I love your blogs seeing you manage your game and wish I could play with you not because of my struggling game, but because I think on a good day you are capable of shooting 10 under par on some of my favorite courses. Thanks for your videos.

[@StephaneDroletGolf]

Thank you. It does show that club fitting is important. Thank you for the information about your clubs, it gives us a better idea about fitting and options. Great performance in Sun City. I don't know how was the course, but it does seem to be challenging. My wife and I never played the Gary Player Golf Course, but we played with the legend. Such a nice person. Anyway, let us know when and where is the next tournament. It is great to follow you and see your progress. You are amazing.

[@jameslovering9158]

For many of us the range balls are all we get to practice with and they are variable, at one range we had an option of new range balls vs old, I tried the new to see and they were 10% longer lol. Just from being beaten up to new. Let alone being a decent balanced ball.

[@huddwah]

Such a pure swing 🔥 What a cool idea to break a WITB video down into different types of shots

[@scottankers6690]

Great video and very timely for me. I just went to the range 2 days ago and captured my carry distances. I learned a lot. I hit my wedges about as expected. I was hitting everything between 7 iron and 4 iron somewhat longer than I anticipated; i.e. the gap from 8 iron to 7 iron was more than I thought. It was a goal of mine this winter to understand my carry distances more. Good luck with your new iron configuration!

[@markk.5734]

Thanks Gen. Very helpful 👌

[@MoeLykit]

I carried a Pitching wedge like 200yds once, but I was just lost looking for my ball

[@matthewmurphy3286]

For the information about range balls they fly 10-15% less compression to make the balls fly shorter and spin less, the reason is for people who hit the ball long and and make them more forgiving to work with but mostly so that the range doesn't lose that many balls, and they take less of a beating from being hit all the time.

[@moonlanding-69]

The prov spin decreases ball distance off the driver. You'd benefit by playing Srixon Q-Star Titleist Tour-Soft.

[@bennybelcher5940]

They switched the balls. The prov1 used to be the higher spinning ball, but now the prov1x is the higher spinning ball with higher flight and prov1 lower spinning with more penetrating flight.

[@bwillfly1]

You are correct. I was about to post the same thing. Spot on there Benny!

All makes perfect sense. What shafts did Eric fit you with? Many LPGA pros have graphite but yours look like steel in your irons. Flex, weight, brand?

[@mylarookard9476]

Hi Gen, I love your videos, do you think you could do a range session of your swing (front and side view)

[@jgcanseco]

How about your putter, Gen? In your latest videos I believe you've been using a center-shafted Odyssey Stroke Lab Double Wide, but, if memory serves me right, that model wasn't in your previous WITBs. Am I correct? What putter length, lie and weight do you play? Keep up the good work and best of luck this year!

Great video Gen, interesting to get a look into your thoughts in creating your set. Out of pure interest, which lofts are your pw and 9iron? Interested in how they link up with your wedge set :) I'm playing proV1s for like 12 years or more and i love em. Tried the proV1x once for a while cause my mate played them but personally i never felt quite at home with them, it felt so different around the greens and on par3s haha. Very interesting though considering it is just a different model haha. So i'm sticking with my beloved proV1 hahahaha

My bag is top loaded from the 4 iron up as I know I need more options for long par 3's, long par 4's and short par 5's. I feel better having plenty of clubs at the top above 180 yards. At the bottom I just have the 46, 50 and 55. I know I could probably play some stronger lofted irons and put 4 wedges in but I feel I need the help at the top more than the bottom. Pro V1 here too.

Gen, your fans really value your opinion about golf equipment. It's a thing! WITB can lead to free equipment, all kinds of swag, name recognition, more followers, more clicks, increased financial support... Besides that, learning how to sell golf related stuff is a integral part of being a Professional Golfer in my opinion. Mr. Tiger Woods, Billionaire Golfer (The G.O.AT. ) still sees the value in doing a yearly WITB maybe you should to. Please consider redoing this video or just stop doing a yearly WITB.

Girl, you do not need to "work on your swing" or "distances." That isn't how you win golf tournaments. By the time you GET to a tournament, you should already be dialed in and not "working" on your golf swing, or distances. Your mind is wrong at tournaments if you are thinking those thoughts. At tournaments you need to be thinking about the STRATEGY of your golf, not these fundamentals of hitting and distance.
