Ian's WITB 2020 // Detailed Look at All 14 Clubs

[@fritoboat13]

Almost 2k views and no dislikes. This community is one of the most positive on the KZbin

[@LeprechaunGinger]

You jinxed them!

[@meetmichaelprince]

Its pretty much always that way. It's nice!

[@natskis]

10 dislikes were people with fat fingers who thought they hit the like button.

[@mangelarsson7774]

thats the way it should be. And Ian is such a gentleman, like a true golfer should be. Only time he has been a little irritated was when Mygolfspy made some idiotic accusations. Matt also such a likeable bloke.

[@ianfrasergolf]

natskis 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻

[@wangbang2007]

i feel like when you're selecting your clubs its like that scene out of john wick where hes in the gun room and can pick whatever he can dream of.

[@SultanOfSlam69]

It's funny you talk about us guys being settled - my bag couldn't be any more up in the air! I'm going for a full fitting at Pureform here in Melbourne, Aus (provided my city doesn't go into full lockdown that is) on this coming Tuesday. Going to be my first ever fitting, and I couldn't be more excited! There's definitely a few clubs I want to try, like the Srixon Z785 and maybe some MP20s but to be honest I have no idea what my bag is going to look like a couple of weeks from now! Just to add to that, I gotta thank you guys for putting all of the info out there that you do - I'd always heard that fitting is the way to go, but didn't realise just how much you could be leaving on the table without being properly fitted. The amount that I've learned about golf gear from you guys is absolutely invaluable, and the way you present the information in a way that is in-depth and technical, but also easy to understand doesn't get enough praise. Keep doing what you do!

[@emmetoneill5862]

Without a doubt the most informative golf channel on KZbin. I've learned more by watching you guys in 2 months than I have in 3 years as a club fitter. Its helped me improve the quality of fits I can offer people. Definitely recommend all golfers and club fitters to watch you guys.

[@perrygill]

I love Ian's intensity explaining the 2i and hybrid. A mad scientist just missing the lab coat.

[@andrewkean1292]

As you guys are steamrolling ahead to 100k I just wanted to say thank you! As someone who was kinda falling out of love with the game last year you guys definitely helped revitalize my interest. From getting me to look at my bag to see what clubs could improve (although I can't necessarily afford all the changes I want to make right now lol), to the little details such as tee height and ball position, and definitely for exposing me to great instructors like Larry and Gareth. You guys are the best golf channel on KZbin and after 100k gets here 1 mil won't be far off. Congrats on the soon to be 100k and I hope to be able to come to the shop for a fit at some point!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thanks so much Andrew, I can’t tell how nice it is to read messages like this from someone who has found their love for the game again because of the channel. Hope you’re in the 100k giveaway Andrew!! Good luck if you are!! 👍🏻

[@jameskavney3892]

i have same driver in a 8 degree turned down to 6.5 degrees , same Sim Ti 3 wood in a 14 degree turned down to a 12 and the same hybrid but its the 16 degree, lol love them all and the 3 wood is a monster

[@scm021374]

Now that we have the bags pretty much done, we need some on course vlogs.

[@ianfrasergolf]

YES!!!

[@luffers7915]

agreed!

[@TheMuffs2004]

As someone who is extremely picky about his wedges, it’s hands down where I make my money on the course, I am more jealous of your wedges than any other golfer’s I’ve ever seen. Made by the man himself.

[@InsuranceSpecialist]

A function over form bag, soooooo good to see. Many of the guys fall in love with a brand and force thier matching desires to one manufacturer past putter. This bag is well thought out and more importantly functionally defendable lol!

[@anthonycsimmons7215]

If my left shoulder wasn’t so messed up, i would be there to get a fitting ASAP because what you guys have explained to the golf community over the last couple of months is just incredible. Thanks so much. Tony

[@allenwood5411]

I love these WITB vids! I feel like I get to live vicariously through your guys' upgrades/changes as I get excited for you to play the new gear! I seldom can change parts of my own bag at one time... However, I was fortunate enough to finally upgrade my 11 year old irons and add 2 hybrids this year (moving from Cobra FP 08, 4-PW, to new Mizuno JPX 919 HM, 6-PW (1* weak) with used Ping G410 22* and SIM 25* hybrids). Haven't been able to play them yet (dry swings only), but I'm giddy at the prospect of getting to play them soon! Keep up the great work, boys!

[@kevinstanley5945]

I absolutely love just listening to your thoughts/insights on equipment and components. You and Matt together bring the information to your audience in terms we can understand. Keep up the oustanding work and thank you for sharing. Can't wait for Matt's bag next week!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thanks Kevin!! 👍🏻

[@tamagalvin]

I just got mine done today. If it wasn't for you fellas I probably wouldn't have done it so soon. I mightve put it off however, you make me want to spend lots of money doing it. It's such a fun experience

[@benmain5642]

Super cool rewatching some vids again. I'm re organizing my bag with a weaker loft combo set b/c I ran into a similar problem with never using my 4 or 5. Went with 5-PW, leaving room for a 20-22 hybrid, already have a 15' 3 wood and 18' UDI. Hoping I'll start to see the same gapping as Ian with his new set up.

[@jamiebuyers]

Literally just finished my bag today with a fitting for my wedges. Mavrick Sub Zero, Aldila Rogue White. Cobra Speedzone Fairway, Tensei AV Blue Ping G410 Hybrid 3, 4, Alta CB Red MIzuno MP 20 HMB 5-PW, Nippon NS Pro 950GH T20 50/07(S) Nippon NS Pro 950GH T20 54/12(M) Nippon NS Pro 950GH T20 58/08(M) KBS HI Rev 2.0 Old Faithful, that shall never be changed- Wilson Staff 8802 Putter. Love those Vokeys, i envy you being able to talk to bob and get such a custom set, those are literal heirlooms now!!

[@johntemplin7100]

Everything in the world is perfect when your bag is humming along nicely 👌

[@ianfrasergolf]

So true

[@JPMoon]

A highly detailed witb, just literally taking every video to the next level, no matter what the subject is, what a player!!

[@chrisbart3261]

My name is Chris and I live in Buffalo,NY. I watch your KZbin channel all the time. I was wondering if you guys have ever played at Peninsula Lakes golf course in Fenwick,ON? I played at the course about 15 years ago and just loved the course. If neither of you have played the course I highly recommend doing so! I would love to see an on course blog from Peninsula Lakes golf course.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Haven’t heard of that one Chris.

[@frogginbullfish8777]

"Well, it's blue and white, that's just about a done deal." A true Scotsman that Ian Fraser.

[@wesboothe6507]

Such a nice set! I would literally do anything for Ian to fit my entire bag, literally wish I had access to someone so knowledgeable to help improve my game from an equipment standpoint.

[@jordanevans6685]

Ian, Great looking club mix for 2020! I’ve been going through the same type of bag review. It is amazing how much the Arccos sensors have impacted my game in the last year and influenced my club selection. I too added the Stability Tour shaft to my putter with immediate good results. +3.6 Arccos Putting handicap. Changed my driver shaft and shortened the shaft length in order to find more accuracy and improve my driving statistics. Dropped my Titleist 818 H1 21 deg hybrid and TMB 4 iron, replaced with a Tour Edge XCG7 21 deg 7 wood and a 25 deg Titleist 818 H1 hybrid. Improved my launch, height, carry and overall distance. Changed to a heavier and stiffer shaft on my Tour Edge EX10 16.5 fairway wood and it is like night and day! More height, more carry, better distance too. Next change is to drop the 5 iron. Strengthen the 6 & 7 both by 1 degree and add another wedge. Will go from Vokey SM7 54 & 60 10S to Corey Paul 52, 56 & 60. Really tightening up my yardage gaps. For the first time in a long time I feel like there are 14 clubs in my bag that I have confidence in and not a single club is just taking up space. My handicap is also the lowest it has ever been. Keep up the good work guys. Your channel has really encouraged me to tinker with my bag and get things right. Yes, I was fitted for all the clubs in the bag but the Arccos data still pointed out areas for improvement.

[@wallstreetoneil]

I'm glad to hear that someone else has dropped an iron and spread out the lofts to add another useful gaming club - our bags, by concept, are now almost identical. Fadey open faced 8 degree driver and 13.5-14.5 neutral 3wood that I can draw if required. A low flighted 18 degree 90gram hybrid playing open at 17 degrees that I can carry 235 for tight Par 4s but can roll to 250. A high flighted 21-22 hybrid for a 3/4 iron replacement. Strong lofted 24 degree 5 iron, then 6,7,8,9,PW at (28,32,37,42,47) with 52,57,62 Mizuno wedges with similar grinds & bounces.

[@Mitch3515]

I am 100% jealous of Ian's bag, the time that he takes and the thought that goes into every single club is remarkable! That is the reason I won't go anywhere else to get fit for clubs! That putter has to be one of the best looking ones I have seen in a long time! Guess next time I upgrade my wedges I need to get some custom stamping done because the wedges are 🔥🔥🔥!

[@clintsanderson6019]

Love the friendly banter about an annual WITB. My WITBs only refresh every 8-10yrs with the occasional update to driver and putter from used deals online. 😂. You gents have so many toys in the toy box though 👍🏼

[@Robert_J528]

I actually clapped at the end of this and seriously meant it. Bravo, boys.

[@jacobelx5841]

Loved to hear what Ian had to say about the tour heads! My ‘17 M1 10.5 tour head came in with 11.9 of measured loft. Luckily the face was little closed so I could open/square with the loft back down to approx 10.5.

[@mooremike44]

I have had Arccos for the past 3 seasons and it has really helped me make better decisions on what to put in the bag. The most important place was gapping in the long clubs.

[@BaBaBooeyWRLD]

Fun Fact...Devil's Pulpit was created by "Trivial Pursuit" board game inventors Chris Haney and Scott Abbott in 1990 and the name of the course comes from a rock formation seen from the 7th tee. Carry on.

[@rufussthoo4083]

I really feel for you guys having a golf 'season', especially this year with it being shortened. We are so blessed here down under to be able to play all year-round. So blessed we get a bit 'greedy' and whinge when we have to cancel the occasional game because of rain. I can't imagine having to hang up the spikes for several months every year. BTW, thanks for the detailed 'why'. That made the WITB far more educational. Cheers.

[@TheVirusOfHumanity]

I’m almost done with my set. Went back to Taylormade SIM woods and a hybrid 3. Spider putter. Milled grind 2 52/56 and a hi toe 60. Irons are New Level Golf blades P-7 and cavity back 6-4. I highly recommend those irons. They’re so well made and they’re forgiving too.

[@chrisblackburn6731]

Changed to the same mizuno putter simply brilliant

[@IMon503]

Guys, can you please do a video on the Arcos system and how you use it on course and the stats it gives and how you use them. Many thanks from the blue side of Scotland

[@robbertolozzi393]

I love the detailing on the wedges. Very sweet to have the kid’s names on it.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thx Rob.

[@geraudcrowder3228]

Great bag Ian. Can’t wait to see Matt’s bag and compare both.

[@Ryan-fx7jx]

Love it Ian. As a tech head it's so easy to listen to you rant about what you feel about your clubs and what works for you. Awesome bag 👌👌👌

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thanks Ryan!! 👊🏻

[@grantharkness8937]

It's winter here in New Zealand it's been pretty wet the last few weeks hope to get back on the course soon

[@andrewwolf4963]

it’s good to hear that you didn’t have to get use to the +4 MC because i really want them but don’t have the ability to try them. I love the idea of being able to choke up and not have the taper

[@canyonaro]

They're awesome. Dropped two shots off my handicap within a few months going to them. Biggest benefit on wedges for me. Almost all my golf buddies play them now but a few have fine back to regular MCC on the driver. You will tend to hang the driver right a little more with the +4.

[@joeplichter4009]

45" driver? After watching your mavrik vs mavrik 45 vs 43.5, I built an F9 driver with custom weights on a fairway shaft and the results have been incredible. No distance loss and I middle it on just about every strike. I've never had more fun hitting driver in my life! Thanks!

[@peepr123]

Can you post the spec list for the full bag somewhere?

[@blakeg.1093]

Love the choices Ian but that putter is the winner imo. If it performs half as good as it looks it's a killer! 👍

[@jarrodcolburne2409]

I just want to hang out with these guys. They seem so cool and relaxed. Next time I head back to Toronto I’m popping in to say hi to talk shop.

[@user-mv1nz3hs8p]

Making it really hard for me not to pull the trigger on a SIM Max driver (currently a SZ Cobra with a tendency to slice because I'm a degenerate)...was eyeing a Ping 3 wood... thoughts?

[@rjpdx]

Did I catch a "Big Dunc" in there? A great transfer window if you come out with that striker.

[@hollywood1513]

This is awesome. My bag goes 19 degree UI, 4 hybrid, 5 iron, etc and I always felt weird doing that. The UI is primarily a tee club.

[@ArmyGolfBC]

Love these, and those 201s are pure. The irons I want: TC201 The irons I can afford: Hogan Combo set What I'll buy: Nothing...pockets empty

[@Clint328]

Curtis Polysou haha, what irons do you have right now?

[@ArmyGolfBC]

@@Clint328 Apex Pro 19s. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, but these TXG vids make me want new shiny stuff lol.

[@whogg0521]

I was just excited watching your excitement for these clubs. The wedges are gorgeous!! And nice touch with yiur children's names. AWESOME!!

[@myleshancock9164]

Thanks for the in close look at your bag Ian. Very cool to see the decisions you have made. I recently retired my 20 year old Callaway X-14 Pro Series irons I got in my teens and am playing the Mizuno MP-18 SCs. New clubs can really feel special 😊

[@joejoethetireman]

I'll be flying to see you guys next summer for an iron fitting. Need some new Muzinos or Miura irons. Love your process. Love the hybrid addition for a 4 iron. Never thought to add in the middle of the bag.

[@mikniks19]

I actually managed to get my hands on a JPX 900 19 degree hybrid (in love with the blue finish) and WOW does that thing go straight. I am so in love with the flatter lie angle - I finally feel like I got rid of the laser hook! Great choice in my humble opinion Ian :)

[@jesseruiz9257]

Love the mad scientist at work. The best bag yet.

[@robcoates8091]

Really enjoyed that... Seeing Ian's thought process around configuration was helpful for me. Driving Iron stronger than hybrid, for instance. Hadn't even considered that, but makes total sense.

[@jcahlers3217]

Awesome looking bag Ian! Thanks for all the Ideas and the way you interpret the head, shaft and dynamics of them all!! Great video as always!

[@MarkB-te3sj]

That Putter combo looks amazing!

[@ericsmith9023]

Hey guys, thanks for all the incredible content you have put out. I cannot believe how much I have learned about golf clubs, tech, and the fitting process. Love what you guys are doing, so keep the content coming!

[@yoder9339]

great video as always - nice to hear Ian's thought processes on the top end of his bag.

[@lucashibbs9164]

I was fit for the exact same wedge lofts, bounce and grinds. Kiiler combo, I'm sure you'll love it Ian! 56 is definitely my specialty wedge for certain lies and the 50 is just Mr jack of all trades super club.

[@yakkyuu12]

Your Miura irons are so well made the forging is second to none!! What is the OFFSET -- compared to the Titleist t100 irons

[@ianfrasergolf]

Very minimal offset, similar to T100

[@Aussieshed]

Wow that putter is just gorgeous!

[@ericpietrondi9186]

Just Curious why you went with those instead of mc 501 ? You were hitting them good.

[@MrGoGetIt50]

Just love listening to Ian’s knowledge about golf clubs. It’s crazy. Dream of mine to be fit by him. Love this channel

[@jbspullins1725]

I’ve been using the sim driver and sim ti 3 wood and have never been better in that area of my game. Put a Titleist 2 mb in the bag for a couple tight tee shots. My short game is killing me, looking at wedges. Love the vokey’s. Thinking that’s where I’ll head.

[@timothygorrell4714]

Love your sticks,it’s great you have your boys names stamped in your wedges..thanks for the knowledge you guys bring 👍

[@Jameeli]

TXG fitting has to be a bucket list for most... I know it is for me, my previous experiences w pros doesn't even compare! Can't wait to have the dudes look at my bag someday! Glad to be an early subscriber, one of my better golfing decisions, lol

[@ryang1910]

Your bag is a work of art! Excited that you guys are ready for indoor season

[@Richsgbox]

Ian's bag is filthy! I'd play that into 2021. PXLZ will get into the bag before the year ends. Smoke black option with those Muiras would be absolute fire. CLK hybrids are very underrated. Thanks for the vid gents. Watched every second.

[@ericmaher2316]

Hope to see ye boys out for a course vlog.

[@marcoraponi9855]

That putter looks amazing - nice bag Ian

[@weetbix1000]

Any chance you guys can have a look at 7, 9 & 11 woods? These have been making a comeback recently, and it definitely seems more acceptable to have these back in the bag again. It would be interesting to see how a mid swing speed could use them, shape them.

[@barrymills8597]

Now that’s a proper WITB. If they work half as good as they look you on a winner. Enjoy.

[@implicitzen1262]

good looking bag. i was seriously debating pulling the trigger on some garmin sensors and a watch. but you lads have convinced me to buy Arccos instead. new sensors should be here in a day or 2. looking forward to getting out on the course with them.

[@ianlinfoot2563]

Does everyone you play with take your clubs out of your bag to look at and do they put them back in the right place? ....

[@ianfrasergolf]

Honestly no one really touches my clubs, they get the death stare!!! 😂

[@ulrichprince9668]

Stunning bag Ian and great explanations on the choices made

[@Dakotah7272]

Do you recommend getting the Arccos discs the screw on/off or to get the grips with Arccos in them?

[@ianfrasergolf]

I’d probably go with the screw in sensors. More versatile.

[@robertbogdan7058]

Of all the Miura models, why did you choose the TC-201?

[@ianfrasergolf]

Perfect blend of enough forgiveness, sole design that I really like, less offset and that classic Miura feel.

[@robertbogdan7058]

@@ianfrasergolf Thanks for taking the time to reply Ian.

[@muffin0079]

Sad to see the Mizuno blue t20 s aren’t in the bag anymore. Unusual set up 2 iron then a 4 iron hybrid. Something I might try as always windy at my course so need to keep it low but also some holes where you have to get it over trees. Could be on to something there

[@donniewhopper6974]

Best thing on the putter is that grip! Nice choice. 🤣🤣

[@seizethecarp_]

I'm a die hard Mizuno guy (currently gaming MP-20) but the Miura TC-201's might be the best looking club I've ever seen.

[@ww-oo7ic]

I have the original stability in one putter and the tour in my newest. I completely agree when you look at the original it does put you off a bit.

[@robmercado4715]

Does Miura make a game improvement iron?

[@mitchlowbridge3979]

What you've done with your 22 degree to allow the p790 UDI is fantastic, absolutely needed to get rid of the 4 iron in that case.. Id love to have a full bag fit with you guys i just know it would help me a bunch!!! Great content as usual!

[@gregoryh4601]

Ian. Those are a pretty set of Wedges.👍 there a keeper. Have to try the Sim driver vs my Epic Flash Sub Zero someday. Thanks guys. Greg of Ohio

[@keithingle2119]

Thought MMAAYYBBEEEE the Bettinardi wedges would make the bag - but a proper tour fitting and customization of those SM8's would do the trick

[@the1mexicant]

The sm8s are night a day difference from the 6,7. The feel is ridiculous. Never thought a wedge would be worth over $150 new and then I got mine

[@haydenm.3912]

Here's a question: Does someone like Ian ,who is an amazing fitter, fit himself for clubs or does he still like to have someone fit him? Awesome videos!

[@leolow2057]

Probably fit himself. Just like car technician most likely fix their own cars. Plumbers, interior designers etc.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Yes fit myself.

[@jacobm4012]

Those wedges are sweet! What did you request in order to get the zero offset? Wondering if I can get the same through the Vokey custom shop 🤔

[@ianfrasergolf]

You can, go to section on hand ground options.

[@jacobmccain8082]

I tried the ping in flat and had similar issues. I have a TS2 23* hybrid that I’ve been messing with trying to make literally unhookable. I have a 19 at A1 with a 75S that I can draw if I need to but I have the 23 at C1 (as open and flat as I can) with a 90g T1100 6.5 which is FAR too stiff for my swing speed (around 95 top end) and LOVE it. Can swing as hard as I want and hit it dead straight with a tiny fall right if anything. Hit it anywhere from a 180-205. Is deadly for Par 5s/long 4’s.

[@mattwilliams3104]

I love the SIM driver. Thing looks like an exotic sports car

[@cpcanales76]

Very nice bag Ian! And great video, i love how you guys explain the reasoning and data for each club.

[@ricedaddy88]

Just got fitted into a SIM Max with Accra FX 2.0 w/ the MCC +4 grey and blue grips and I can't wait to try it out.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

I have a whole new bag being delivered this week so this is perfectly timed, love comparing bags and clubs. Thanks lads 💪🐐

[@brendanhobbart]

Those wedges look gorgeous. Love my T20s but the SM8s would definitely be on the menu if I needed to change.

[@tristanfield5264]

I have a question guys. I have Driver, 3 wood, 7 wood, then 6 iron to 9 iron. Pw, Aw, 54 and 58 and of course putter. I have room for one more club in my bag. Not sure on what to go with?!? Considering my irons are taylormade m6’s and are lofted pretty strongly from the get go! Would appreciate the input. Thanks for the great content and keep it up fellas! 👍🏻

[@craigedga4r]

Are you going to test the New Cleveland Zipcore outside as you said you were going to ie would be great to compare them to Matts T20s💪💪💪🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍

[@jacobmccain8082]

Also funny as I had a set of raw SM8s show up yesterday too. Got 54D and 58M. Not quite as cool as yours but I love mine all the same. Considering a 48 bent to 50 but love my T100 50 for full shots.

[@Golfadddict]

Interesting. I just had my z785 & z585s regripped to increase the swingweight to D3/D2 as my custom build with Crossline Midsize grips made it difficult to feel the heads at D0. Never realised the grip weight had such an affect.

[@leandrogutierres]

omg. Dream bag! Super nice bag, man!

[@craigedga4r]

Love the wedges Ian - as well as with your boys names - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@alexmurray3767]

Great discussion. Keep us up to date on scoring this year. Will be fascinating to see what changes you see.
