High Handicap Driver Fitting | Rob

[@CarolinaGolfer2]

More Thanks to Ian for the fitting and swing changes. Everyone says it here in the comments, but his knowledge of equipment and the swing, and what will work for who, is truly unbelievable to see and in my case, be fortunate enough to witness. As mentioned by all three of us during this video, my swing speed was down a bit by the time i got to the last set of shots with both the SFT and my driver. But even with that, the difference in that Fujikura shaft, still allowed me to make some very solid contact. Thanks to everyone for the positive comments, I hope to see Ian and Matt again in 2019 and show them an even more improved "Rob swing"

[@neutrino61]

Great job Robert and thanks again. Have fun with the new swing and sticks👍🏻

[@hoopsfever82]

Dr. Helmut Queckenstedt Thanks Doc, that's the plan!

[@Struieboy]

Robert Canady. Kudos for taking part.

[@hoopsfever82]

Appreciate the kind words Mark.

[@prex345]

Your content is the new gold standard. Well done gentleman.

[@banditbaker1675]

Well said P Rex, PURE GOLD!

[@HarryLivestream]

Excellent video again guys! Also- your expertise and the kind way of giving feedback to Rob is just wonderful

[@timothydaniels504]

I had a driver fitting today with Chris at your Burlington location and, like Rob, had a very positive experience. As an older golfer who hasn’t played in about 10 years, fatigue and rustiness all played a role in my performance and Chris, bright fellow that he is, was extremely patient and helpful. To make a long story short, we’ve narrowed it down to Callaway Rogue, senior specs. ie. lots of loft and a flexible shaft. Best of all, Chris suggested I come back after a trip to the range and a bit of practice. He wants me relaxed and fresh before we commit to getting that Rogue built. No extra charge for that extra visit. It won’t take long but he wants to get it right. That’s a commitment to excellence! Thanks guys.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Thanks for the report Timothy! Glad you had a positive experience!!

[@garythompson9439]

Thoroughly enjoy seeing you guys invest the time and provide fact-based professional guidance to Rob,(and everyone including myself), throughout his fitting sessions. Format wise...kudos to whoever does the editing, chooses the music, etc., I find it sets a mood and helps tell the story....A++ gents !!

[@sehnaz1]

Definitely becoming one the best channels on KZbin. The plan to shoot outdoors should be interesting.

[@russelldaye4101]

You two are very professional, interested in helping golfers regardless of ability. Pro!

[@MrTkeddo]

Thanks guys your channel is my go to for golf viewing, I’m 53 28 handicap and was hitting my Cobra S3 driver with regular shaft 195 to 200 yrds and also leaked right or low left, I got fitted with a Ping g400max soft regular Alta cb shaft and it’s straight and sometimes a baby draw , also distance gain up to 230 to 245 yrds and I broke 90 for the first time (87 net 58)

[@clubchampionmedia]

👍👍

[@andreaechevarria6725]

Enjoyed these two videos with Rob. He seemed like a nice guy who can now enjoy his golf after a proper fitting and a few tweaks to his technique. Thank you and keep it up.

[@CarolinaGolfer2]

Thanks for the kind words Andrea. I think the changes, not just equipment but swing changes I took away from the sessions will definitely lead to more enjoyable golf.

[@ignorance123]

You guys seem to get better and better with these videos. Nice to see the comprehensive experience Rob was able to get.

[@samuelcollie2050]

What a great channel and service you provide to the average golfer! Wish I could come up and get a driver fitting. Great stuff!

[@scotty_teee4226]

Well done Rob!!! And great work guys. More confidence off the tee to go with the distance gain 👍

[@moojersey3]

Great video. I think this high handicap series will be very popular with a lot of golfers out here. Also love your theme music! Very epic sounding. Keep it up 👍

[@TenPester]

Helping the guy with his swing path was amazing here. Not just trying to set a club up to his swing, but making sure they were buying into improving too. Great work there.

[@nvr2old700]

Really so impressed with your philosophy re fitting AND instruction during fitting to overall affect his results. Kudos Ian and Matt. Far too many fitters only do fitting and attempt then club sales based on the swing when a little instruction really helps the overall experience and likely customer satisfaction in their choice should they then buy. Blown away by your detail in the process. Great vid.

[@adh1308]

Another great video. You never disappoint. Love watching you work your magic. I look forward to the next one. Thank you for the best golf channel on KZbin.

[@milesjnixon]

I honestly think I’m addicted to this channel love the content

[@whiskerrub]

Thanks Rob and TXG very interesting. For me I agree having the trust and confidence in your equipment Ian/Matt mentioned is a huge key and to create that you need to find fitters you trust with your game, like TXG and I'll base that on every one of the videos I watched these guys and gals are impressive. The downside of having trusted equipment is there is nothing to blame the unfortunate shots on only yourself, so with that said stop this sorcery and witchcraft ;-). Keep up the great work! Thumbs Up!

[@jnjfleming]

Great stuff, love the work with higher handicappers. The combination of understanding what a player needs to improve their swing, and what club fitting can do to help is a potent combination.

[@scottwarner7728]

Hi guys, another really good fitting session. Congratulations, it didn't take long to go from 10K to 11K subscribers, well done.

[@rickcudmore8156]

This video was an eye-opener. I'm a 16-18 handicap and need the same fitting as Rob. I just had my new irons fitted but I have never had my driver, fairway woods or hybrids fitted. As a lefty I enjoy the videos as I can relate to the other side. I lived in Burlington for 12 years and didn't know this place existed.

[@neutrino61]

Great video. Very honestly done and informative explanations for everybody!

[@gordygolfc2039]

this is a value for money fitting / advisory session. wish this approach could be universally adopted by others.

[@tapiatitan92]

Love the diversity of people you show being fitted and how you are taking some time to address Robs swing issues instead of forcing a new set of clubs anyways. 100% going to work on my game for a full season before going out for new clubs and a fitting. Any idea when we can expect the ball fitting video and what lines you plan on reviewing? Currently playing Calloway SuperSofts and the occasional V1X sleeve I get from an event.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Next month or so likely for the ball fitting series

[@mikecook8059]

Great video!! Rob's handicap will definitely be headed down thanks to the clubs and the swing instruction!!

[@bobnokley]

Always interesting to go back a few years to see fittings compared to most recent

[@acemakerjay]

I tried the Ping G400 Max and they put me in the SFT. When you first started with him I thought the SFT would be where he would end up. Great stuff Matt and Ian. I tried the Draw Rogue yesterday and was surprised how my misses to the right stayed straight. Proper fitting is so important.

[@anthonymckenzie7951]

Awesome job once again guys! Great demonstration of how a proper fit with a the right approach (75% fitter/25% coach) leads to more optimal results and equipment decision making. In this case, Rob purchased a great driver with the G400Max, however, if he had the proper fit initially, he would have been put into the more appropriate Ping head from the get go. Have you guys had the chance to speak with Ping to better understand why the SFT is not offered in the G400Max? Seems to be a better product assortment, marketing and sales strategy to provide the SFT in the Max head (broader target market) and the LST in the standard head. (better player market). Also, is there any adjustment possible to make the Max more draw biased (thinking of weight addition methods)?

[@clubchampionmedia]

The MAX can be closed 2 degrees which is actually how Rob had it configured when he came in. Wouldn't be a bad idea for them to consider an SFT version of the Max - although the whole G400 series is pretty forgiving.

[@MARTIN-xt5zk]

Great to watch honest positive content, thanks.

[@chrisfranz]

So glad I happened upon your videos. It surprises me I can stay interested for 30min watching someone else's fitting! One question- what is your view on MOI fitting? Having been a science major, it makes more sense to me than swing weight.

[@johntemplin7100]

Another top notch video, one day boys I will be coming to see you all the way from Australia, keep up the great work

[@bohica52]

I'll come with you. I don't know of any fitters in SA that have the skill and knowledge the TXG guys can offer.

[@banditbaker1675]

If you don`t mind stopping over in the UK can I join the pilgrimage?

[@albertofernandez-sanguino3373]

Great job guys, as always! Just out of curiosity, given the number of shots which would be required and the subsequent tiredness, just how long realistically would it take to perform a full bag fitting, from driver to wedges and putter? Two days?? Would need a gapping session also, with any subsequent loft and lie adjustments. Thx

[@clubchampionmedia]

Yes full bag fittings are done over the course of two sessions, on separate days.

[@JuanGarcia-hr1wf]

Great video. Amazing change when recommending to incorporate irons swing thoughts when hitting the driver. The Ping G400 SFT which is a lower spin driver improved his results dramatically.

[@davidleigh2573]

Very interesting. My golf buddy was recently fitted for a Gmax but after testing was recommended to go for the G400sft which gave him better all round results even though he felt more comfortable with the Max.

[@daveyboy8802]

Please do the HZURDUS family of shafts comparison video. Red, yellow, black and T1100!!! Would be great to see if they do what it says on the tin. I play two Blacks, one in my G400 LST and one in my Rogue SZ fairway. Both 6.5 Handcrafted and I’m in love!!!

[@stiehl8455]

Tiger Linez if this happens, please include the cheaper HZURDUS shafts in the factory Callaway clubs. Like the ones that came in the Epics

[@BillWeiss]

Awesome time lapses on this one Matt!

[@clubchampionmedia]

Thanks Bill!

[@8-bitThrottle]

These videos were great. I was just fitted for a rouge draw driver at a Callaway Performance Center. I feel like I got ripped off a bit compared to the fit that your guys show. Only tried 2 brands and a couple shafts. I probably should have spoken up a bit at the fitting. Wish you guys were closer to me here in Boston I’d be there in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work.

[@randymahony8157]

Joe Rooney I feel the same way Joe I'm in Bristol Ct.

[@k...5853]

Direct BOS -> YYZ is under 2 hours. Would make for a great Father's Day gift...

[@clubchampionmedia]

👍👍👍👍

[@acemakerjay]

I am in So. NH and went to Kustom Clubs in Manchester, NH and Ken Collins fitted me with Mizuno irons and I absolutely love them.

[@dividedbyzero9777]

Got fitted for a PING G400 Max with Aldila x-torsion Stiff two weeks ago, and it should arrive this weekend. I have a slight out-to-in swing, but ball flight at the fitting was dead-straight and way longer than my current driver.

[@jeffreygrove5057]

This was a great fitting , great to hear the process in great detail.

[@philip4941]

Great videos guys. Can't wait for the ball series. Just picked up a sleeve of tp5, tp5x and chrome soft x. Will be doing my own simulator testing soon. Try to knock off a little iron spin from my standard chrome softs.

[@davidclark5130]

Amazing fitters! Really wish I could find someone down here like that.

[@mikeyismyname]

Kudos to the one who worked on editing as well as the music.

[@clubchampionmedia]

👍👍👍

[@markgoddard1449]

Great videos, just a quick question. Shaft flex, when I bought my clubs "Cobra Amp Cell" in 2013 I did not know anything about golf. My driver has a regular flex shaft, 3 wood cant remember what it is, 3/4 Hybrid has a stiff flex and currently I hit it the straightest. the 3/4 hybrid I think is the heaviest and the Driver is the lightest.

[@slice2scratchgolf302]

You’re going to have people asking to come for instruction as well as fittings with these videos of Rob’s improvements 🏌🏼‍♂️💥👍🏼

[@CarolinaGolfer2]

No doubt, if Ian was closer, I'd be taking year round lessons from him!

[@blizzard281109]

I wish there was a fitting service like this in Georgia or somewhere close.

[@dondasher58]

New subscriber to your awesome channel, I really enjoyed that. Driver fittings are tough as we all have good and bad days, sore muscles or whatever. I’m curious...in the perfect setting would a driver fitting be best served over a period of fitting sessions?

[@clubchampionmedia]

If someone is having an off day we certainly invite them to come back and finish the fitting in another session to avoid get improperly fit based on a poor swing day.

[@nvr2old700]

A follow up comment as well. Recently did a fitting from a well known fitting company but the price to buy the clubs after this was very prohibitive (close to $5000) and did not purchase. Any advice on reasonable pricing for clubs after a fitting?

[@gerrymorcom5001]

Great fitting. What flex was on that Fujikura shaft?

[@emac417]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed it.

[@ss1597]

I just stumbled across this one and wanted to ask a question regarding the G400 sft fitting. I too have a path issue but not quite as significant as Rob’s. I prefer feeling the head behind me which I feel may help with a more inside to out swing path. I am considering replacing the 10 gram gold weight with a13 gram. Could this help with path delivery and better face contact? Thanks again for your great content.

[@michaelg6658]

Rob definitely was very close to being on the right track on his equipment. Poor guy got rid of the right irons and needed a slightly different ping driver. Great work guys!

[@CarolinaGolfer2]

Exactly Michael...As it turns out a big mistake to get rid of the Srixons, it certainly wasn't due to the clubs, just the nature of "equipment junkie" life cycle. As I told Ian off camera, I strongly considered the SFT but felt the increased MOI of the Max would help my accuracy. He then mentioned while it is near 5900, the SFT is right at 5000 which is certainly more than most on the market and should be enough for me...and it was as evidenced by the dispersion circles in the fitting.

[@robertsalazar5874]

Awesome Robert! Im curious if the better you hit the SFT and your clubbed speed increase if you would go to the regular G400

[@hoopsfever82]

Thanks Robert...Actually what I have done, is ordered the Shaft that Ian fit me in (fujikura pro 2.0) for my current 400Max driver. I wanted to see the performance in that before looking investing into the whole club. Only one round in since the custom shaft arrived, but early returns are promising. Not so much a draw, but definitely a straight flight, and a few more yards. I'll report back after more rounds get in the books

[@robertsalazar5874]

good to know thank you... by the way is it a regular or stiff shaft and what degrees do you have on your G400MAX?

[@hoopsfever82]

Sorry for the delayed reply. It is a regular flex 10.5

[@richardc6932]

Rob appears to have a closed stance at address. Is it the angle of the camera or is his right foot back in order to encourage a more in to out swing path?

[@Colestamper1]

Hey guys. You two are really making high quality vids that are extremely informative. I'm curious if you had plans on making a vid on driving irons I'm currently a round about 10-12 handicapper who hits the ball around 260 with the driver but I tend to play on a shorter coarse. Just wondering if a driving iron would be a good alternative for me or if I should stick with a 5 wood. ( Not into hybrids) Thanks keep the vids comming!!!

[@clubchampionmedia]

It is on our to-do list for sure!

[@johnstonsteward4494]

I've also watched another high handicap (Sam) fitting by you guys. I think he too had a out to in path. So is the main difference here that Sam was able to deliver a more closed face than Rob? I am trying to figure out why Sam was able to improve more dramatically than Rob after the fitting. Thank you.

[@lnick9428]

Just curious. What flex was Rob hitting with the Fuji Pro 2.0? Which weight 5R, 6R etc., and if it was R5 (57 gram) was it the R2 (senior flex) or the Regular flex?

[@stephenmowforth3055]

I also play the g400 max and find it great unfortunately I too have lost a few yards through age but still manage to hit the ball straight. Could you please tell me how i can get my spin rate down as I used to hit a draw but now seem to hit a slight fade for some reason. My pro told me to go into a regular shaft from a stiff about the same time as I lost my draw

[@phiily7golf]

Fantastic video, very thoughtful information

[@richardgatehouse1520]

Another great video guys. From your experience would there be much of a change in a g30 sft compared to the 400 version. Or would a change around in shafts to dial in the numbers a bit be a better option. Keep up the great content can't wait until the next episode

[@clubchampionmedia]

Worth a demo, the G400 line is extremely good when it comes to forgiveness and ball speed. But you'd need to do a side by side to see how it works for you.

[@hoopsfever82]

Richard, I had the G30 previous to the 400 Max, for me the 400 is better all the way around, distance by few yards, not tons, but a few however consistency is so much better. I rarely miss a fairway with it.

[@richardgatehouse1520]

Rob C Thanks for the feedback, out of interest did you try any others drivers before going into the 400

[@hoopsfever82]

Yes, in addition to my 400Max we tried the Rouge, the M3 and M4 and finally the G400 SFT. The results were all fairly close in distance, the Rogue gave me the best distance when hit well, but also some of my worst misses. The M3 and M4 were just OK didn't stand out either way good or bad. The SFT proved the tightest dispersion of all them when it was all said and done. It should also be noted as mentioned in the video it was the very last driver I swung, so I was pretty much running on empty after 5 hours. We all believe my distance and club-head speed on it will be much better when I get on a LM fully rested, which I haven't had a chance to do since the fitting.

[@RODERICKBASGOLF]

Great video guys love the editing. Top job.

[@thebeej1231]

Interested to see a comparison between a 2 iron long iron, a driving iron with a steel shaft the same as the iron and a graphic shafted driving iron, and their dispersion, launches spins etc

[@chrisobrien6192]

Very nice video. Wish we had a similar service and fitting experience locally . Certainly not the chain sporting goods ( DICKS or Golf Galaxy ) we are subject to. Often quite clueless. FYI... I like the format when they are shorter length videos. Often did not click on them , even if interested in topic due to length . Thank you 😊

[@clubchampionmedia]

Chris O'Brien we’ll be offering a mixture of various length video’s in the coming weeks.

[@DydLike]

At the time the video was made, how long have Rob been playing for? Just curious.

[@fatchops13]

What is the rule of thumb on driver loft adjustments and how it affects the face opening or closing? Adjust Loft up = closed; adjust loft down = open?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Depends on the manufacturer's loft sleeve, it's a bit different for each of them

[@9tube135]

You guys really have an amazing channel. Rob and I are fairly similar in many respects - age has decreased my average drives from the 250-260 average down to 217. I seldom lose balls to the right, as my shot path at the moment is very straight with most misses being a low hook. Playing a Ping G25, set at 10-degrees with a regular flex stock shaft, I do feel very lucky that I hit it straight and find the fairway on most shots. But like Rob, I’m often hitting 5W, or 4H into greens on my second shots. So of course, I’m looking at new drivers, especially the Ping G400 Max. Would moving to a SR or senior flex instead of Regular flex provide any distance benefit, or should I remain satisfied with keeping the ball in the fairway on a consistent basis?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Depends on a lot of factors, if the senior flex shaft influenced your club path to be better, club face to be more square (just as an example) then perhaps you could gain some distance that way. Depending on your swing the senior flex could in fact cause you to lose distance, a proper fitting would really be necessary to find out what's best for you.

[@monotts5218]

Great video, but it does prompt me to ask a question that has been bothering me for some time and in particular with my game. Modern Drivers are designed with a light head and shaft - "saving weight so we can generate more clubhead speed". Problem I have is that I have little "feel" with modern Drivers, the result of which is that the longer the shaft - Drivers are usually around 45" - the less I sense where the clubhead is on the backswing + I lose rhythm and tempo. How do you as a Fitter deal with this? Do you reduce the length of the shaft, or put in a heavier shaft but that would lose the "feel" of the head even more or use a heavier head?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Sounds like you're someone that benefits from a higher swingweight configuration in the driver. This can be done by using heavier weights in clubs that allow swappable weights, also can be affected by the shaft choice.

[@monotts5218]

TXG Tour Experience Golf Thanks for taking time to reply & apologies for putting same question in Ron's iron fitting. Was sure I posted question but couldn't find it. Snr moment.😁 Follow up With, if you don't mind. I've been told & read that modern lightweight heads require lightweight shafts otherwise you don't "feel" head. I play JPX EZ 16 with standard 55g R Orochi shaft. Would heavier Snr shaf

[@monotts5218]

Cont'd Would heavier Snr shaft give me the weight to promote in/out - I'm like Rob, out/in - & Snr promote flex for slower swing speed?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Wouldn't go to a lighter shaft just for the swingweight (unless there's other performance factors you want to influence with a lighter shaft as well), look at adding weight to the heads first if you can.

[@ilovemybeard]

Another great video guys. Best golf channel on youtube atm. I love Ping stuff. Most of my bag is Ping. I have the M4 D-type driver. Would you say the SFT G400 is the better head out if the 2? Or is it player specific? Cheers.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Just depends on the player and which suits their swing and launch conditions best. Both are great drivers.

[@1b0o0]

ilovemybeard if you are ever tempted to change, I’d go for the GMax. Most stable driver out there (says the USGA, not me)

[@trentbutler6959]

Your guys make great and informational videos keep it up!

[@iambenvaughan]

how is it set 2 degrees closed?

[@jadamane]

What stiffness of the new shaft did you give him ?

[@MrJosho56]

What is your thoughts on club shaft extensions? I’m kind of young and never had clubs fitted for me before and I’m 6’4” with about 38” wrist to floor. I’m pretty confident with my irons and how straight i hit them but fell like my yardage is really low. Are extensions something I should look in too?

[@clubchampionmedia]

You'd be best to go to a fitting studio where you can properly demo and test over length clubs, then assess the performance and see if it's worth looking into over length.

[@Your_Mailman_Grows_7121]

Pretty cool, a fitting and chance to have 2 sets of qualified eyes help make some small swing changes/thoughts to help fix some swing issues. When you guys do another "driver vid" and if possible maybe help explain how changing the lie upright/flat will affect a drivers playability (if at all). Thanks and keep at guys your killing it right now in the KZbin golf channels.

[@danbartlett6153]

I recently got access to a GCQUAD and had to go to the driving range. Granted range balls are not like course balls but the question is, I could get 80mph( 155 carry) with my 6 iron (2013 ap2's) but I could not get more than 84-85 (117 ball speed) with my driver.(2016 TM M1, Matrix white tie 5x3 R shaft). Is it because of range balls or possibly head/shaft combo (launch 13.3, spin 3132) 173 yards. I know on course I can get 205 carry ( sometimes ). Don't know if its range balls, shaft or just me. Do you always trust the GCQUAD numbers to real course numbers. Also is it possible to get 1.55 smash factor. Thanx I know I am picking on your knowledge. There are no real club fitters in Portland Oregon that I know of. Wish I had your knowledge. Thanx again Dan B

[@clubchampionmedia]

Depends on the range balls Dan, they may not be performing as well as proper golf balls. With GC Quad the highest efficiency rating you'll see is usually around 1.45

[@cwugrad396]

You guys can be my fitters any day of the week

[@JuanGarcia-hr1wf]

I have a Great Big Bertha 10.5 set up neutral. My natural shot is a fade/cut shot as well as my misses. Want to incorporate more of a draw without a dead hook which happens from time to time for increased yardage. Thoughts on driver setup?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Try the draw or closed face angle setting, that will help you limit your fade miss but not extreme enough to cause hooks.

[@JuanGarcia-hr1wf]

Thanks for the quick reply. Would you recommend keep at 10.5 loft with a closed face or reduce loft?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Depends on your launch conditions, you'd need to get on a launch monitor to see your launch angle and spin rate

[@richardgatehouse1520]

Hi Rob How's the 400 going and what shaft did you settle on

[@hoopsfever82]

Richard sorry it's been a busy few weeks. The 400 is still doing great, I did get the Fujikura Pro 2.0 I was fit for. it's been phenomenal. I can really tell a difference in the swing and feel like the ball has more energy coming off the face.

[@richardgatehouse1520]

@@hoopsfever82 Hi Rob thank you for the reply, what flex weight did you go for in the shaft and did you feel like you could turn it over easily Cheers Richard

[@gretel1015]

Excellent fitting!

[@logankelch4869]

I have no idea what my club swing weight is or if my shaft is correct for me. I have a stiff flex shaft that’s 60g which plays 1/2” shorter then a standard Callaway XR16 pro (45”)... I just can’t seem to find the middle of the club face... I’m unsure if it’s my club head/shaft combo but I’m playing it at 9 degree and hit it incredibly high and always hit a push fade out of the heel... I don’t know if it’s my swing (out to in) or my club... Also do you ever fit people for the standard Epic? It seems that with the sliding weight it may work for some people and it’s pretty similar to the rogue?

[@clubchampionmedia]

A lot of variables involved there Logan, difficult to give you a recommendation on why you're struggling with the driver via the comments. Best thing to do would be to demo some different configurations and see what tends to improve your strike pattern and dispersion.

[@richardlovelady8784]

Can you explain driver lie,I notice the toe on drivers is always upright I know it doesn’t Hit the ground but does it affect where on the face you hit the ball and direction. Can a driver lie be too upright or too flat.Thanks

[@clubchampionmedia]

Modern drivers tend to be more upright, as most golfers miss with a slice or push. The dynamic lie angle can affect the direction, more upright the ball will tend to start more left, more flat the ball will tend to start more right. (for a right handed player)

[@tjkatsoulas9859]

Great stuff! Well done!

[@trentbutler6959]

So I have a problem which I consider to be pretty big, I don’t hit my driver very far only about 180 yards I have a slow swing speed and I’m using a senior flex shaft with 13.5 degrees of loft. What should/could I do to gain some distance? I had considered getting fitted but sense I’m still growing I have decided to not get fitted because I would soon grow out of what I got fitted for. Any help would be greatly appreciate and thank you for your time

[@clubchampionmedia]

If your driver is giving you good launch conditions (which you would need to schedule a fitting to find out), then look into something like the SuperSpeed golf system for a realistic way of increasing clubhead speed.

[@trentbutler6959]

TXG Tour Experience Golf thank you for help I will definitely look in to it

[@paulchristie9170]

Awesome !! Very informative !

[@johnstone5377]

Great stuff guys!!

[@MrGray42]

Hi, are you just based in Canada I’m in UK would love proper fitting

[@clubchampionmedia]

MrGray42 just in Toronto, Canada currently

[@_.Dave._]

He stands straight up prior to contact. If he can't stay down through impact, he'll never have a neutral swing path, never mind an in to out path. If this is due to some psychical limitation, he should change his setup to a more vertical stance at start. This way his distance to the ball doesn't change, demanding a delivery adjustment (out to in). Look at some long ball guys to set up standing straight up to to lack of mobility still creating an in to out delivery.

[@saltydegs5494]

This man hits further than me with his old clubs

[@adolfozayas3359]

Love these videos keep them coming. And as you mentioned Ping has come through again with SFT. Hope Rob Plays well. Btw how is big Sam??? Has he beaten Matt yet lol

[@clubchampionmedia]

Just played with Sam yesterday! His swing and game are definitely improving, he's gone down a couple strokes on his handicap already.

[@neutrino61]

@TXG/ Matt: Nice to hear good news about Sam!!👍🏻 Got a question: how do you improve your HCP in Canada? Do you have to participate in an official tournament and change the HCP in a special HCP-depending system or can you just are allowed to go to the pro and tell him afterwards you played a good round of golf and he gives you the the HCP?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Yes any attested round (where a playing partner signs the card) is entered into your handicap and factors in to the number. There are different softwares/apps that do it, but most here use the Golf Canada system where you just enter you scores after each round and it calculates a handicap for you.

Thanks Matt. Here in europe it`s kind of different. Only in an official tournament you can change your HCP. But since a few years we have "extra day score" rounds of golf where your playing partner signs the card. It must be announced to the pro in advance and you can change your HCP in both directions😉

Your choice of music has found a few friends😉👍🏻

[@Houghtonlaker11]

How about a high to medium handicap Driver fitting for someone who fights hooks and has a low spin problem where the drives at times can com off like a knuckle ball!! Thats my issue and I know someone else with the same issue

[@adriantwiss600]

Can I be rude and ask how old this gentleman is?

[@clubchampionmedia]

We didn't ask actually, maybe Rob can chime in!

[@hoopsfever82]

Sorry, not rude at all. But missed this until now. I turned 59 two weeks before the fitting. It was a birthday present to myself :)

[@adriantwiss600]

Belated Birthday wishes and keep swinging. I'm 60 and am having to work very hard to maintain what modest distance I have.

[@hoopsfever82]

I hear ya...The struggle is real :)

[@banditbaker1675]

Yep, definitely think that Rob is a long lost relative....... this is getting spooky! When I come over for my fitting I am willing to bet already that it will be a close call between the Max and the SFTecand that Fuji Pro shaft looks Awesome. I also agree with moorjersey3 that the incidental music that you use for the Vids adds to the overall quality. So many Vloggers use music that is irritating and intrusive.

[@CarolinaGolfer2]

LOL..Well Bandit, they say everyone has a clone somewhere. Glad you found it helpful, and I'm sure you will enjoy your time at TXG just as much as i did. And I'll echo your comments on Matt's editing, just a masterful job makes it some of the best viewing on the net.

[@banditbaker1675]

Yes indeed, I am really looking forward to my adventure over to TXG.

[@wally6193]

Does anyone make a sub 400CC driver?

[@Foregrlz]

Can you fit me please? Same boat as Rob with distance loss but accurate guy!

[@trentbutler6959]

I love how u guys post videos every few days because the KZbinrs that post everyday run out of ideas very quickly and the channel is no longer interesting

[@davidcole2337]

His number drop is similar to mine. I figured it was all about Age..

[@keneagle7684]

If you like to pay for a return flight over there for a fitting, I would be willing to do the travel :D

[@Jeremy_Walker]

No disrespect, but lessons, exercise, and stretching would be much more practical than a fitting, no?

[@clubchampionmedia]

The video showed the value of identifying a player's weakness during a fitting, helping them with that swing change and recommending equipment that helped influence that swing change.

[@sehnaz1]

He got a lesson and fitting in the same session.

[@WillyMoth]

What's wrong with lessons, exercise, stretching, and a fitting? Well done guys.

[@Jeremy_Walker]

There is little point in fitting until a person has a fundamentally solid swing. People will argue with anything, but that seems pretty logical.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Jeremy Walker Hi Jeremy, Ian here. I say this with no intention to offend, but you are completely wrong. I can categorically say that club fitting helps people of all skill levels. We work with both consistent golfers and inconsistent golfers and all receive improved performance as a result of optimizing equipment. Appreciate you watching the channel though and sharing your opinion, we love how interactive the channel has become. 👍🏻
