LOFT & LIE SESSION WITH PAIGE SPIRANAC // Getting Paige Dialed

[@PaigeSpiranac]

Thanks for fixing my gapping issues, Ian! I always learn so much in these sessions.

[@mmceldu2]

+6 handicap! Great work @paigespirinac

[@markL1010]

Ian, it was great meeting you the day of filming this and bringing me in to say hi after seeing m through the window. Can't thank you enough for the conversation and the picture with you and Paige. Keeping killing it 🤟

[@ianfrasergolf]

Great to meet you too Mark!! Thanks for coming in to say hi!! 👍🏼

[@JoshStephens24]

Man……I would’ve been sooooo disappointed to just want to meet Ian and to go in and @paigespiranac just happens to be there and taking up Ian’s time, what terrible timing… 😏 😂 😉

[@miklevey3429]

Her swing looks really good. Talk about having it all! Gorgeous and +6. Damn!

[@cowboysurfer777]

Ian is an absolute G with a plethora of swing and equipment knowledge. Insane how quickly he dialed Paige in

[@ultimatejay]

Ian is above and beyond most Club champion fitters. I have been fitted and they didn’t do any of this. I had two really bad experiences with the club champion by my house

[@kswas2784]

Same; I went to one in central Ohio and they were terrible. Some kid right out of college who just came from their internal school and he didn't know anything. He tried to upsell me a Driver & 3W for $1,300! They also didn't have the Trackman set up properly as it was reading an inside to out path of 22deg...

[@kevinspradlin6288]

@@kswas2784 I am fortunate, I had very good experiences with Club Champion in Las Vegas. I went in for a driver fitting, my fitter, Chase, helped me find my best results with just a shaft change.

[@ipotato95]

Damn crazy how a little loft and lie and a ball change changes so much, Ian is a club guru

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻👍🏼

[@christopherlee7675]

Ian, I think you and your team have created a special bond with all your viewers and we’d all love to have a fitters like you. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@hiddenbunny7205]

The problem with fitting a video like this is that there is only 1 Ian. I don't think whoever Paige worked with at CC to get that set of ZX5 would be able to do this like Ian.

[@LegacyAirTech]

To add onto this, its been well documented that a lot of people leave a CC fitting being fit into the most expensive niche custom shafts with markups on each item of the build (grips with an MSRP of $12 being charged $18, shafts with an MSRP of $45 going for $75ea, etc.) As absolutely amazing as Ian is, hes not the norm

[@555fourthstreet8]

Just realized what CC meant. Thought were talking about a size.

[@kswas2784]

@@LegacyAirTechDon't forget with woods they will also push shafts that will add $200-300 per club. They "fitted" me with a Driver and 3 wood for a mere $1300...

[@WILSON-tc4bb]

Pro tip: check out the actual specs on your clubs. Paige said she was used to Mizuno which usually build "standard" irons 1-2 degrees flatter than other manufacturers. No surprise that the Srixons are going more left for her. Also, Srixons have bigger loft gaps than Mizuno especially in the shorter clubs.

[@jonbuikema7399]

Definitely one of the best fitters. Knows his stuff. Many manufacturers tend to be more upright as "standard" to help with slices and reducing shots right. Always good to know from what you currently have to new sets. Keep up the awesome reviews and shows.

[@MichaelSmittySmithScottsdaleAz]

This video was showing what a fitting is all about. It's great seeing videos of people who have the same swing speeds as most players. 300 yard drives are not the average golfer. Great video

[@12port34]

Just when I thought your videos couldn't get any better, you drop this one! Awesome work!

[@steveott7150]

It was awesome seeing you work Ian. It’s easy to just see the entertainer who makes videos. Working with Paige though, we got to see the expert club fitter working to dial in a golfer. It made me want to go to a Club Champion and do a loft and lie with my new MP 245’s. Thoroughly enjoyed this session. You more than Paige, if you can believe it!

[@laronda10]

Brilliant eye work by our man here!

[@ianfrasergolf]

[@rufussthoo4083]

[@statmagic]

Dispersion looks really good. Gapping is challenging for everyone.

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻!!

[@rufussthoo4083]

This was a timely video for me as I'm going through the 'tweaking loft and lie' process myself. So thx CC. And it was good seeing a bit less of Paige than usual. I found I could focus more on her (more relatable) swing, and what was being said. I recently changed from the TP5 to a Srixon Z-star Diamond ball and immediately got better, more consistent spin numbers and tighter carry dispersion. It really is amazing what a big difference the right ball can make.

[@PbD187]

Love the back-and-forth, great nuggets!

[@ianbarr5110]

That was great. Especially the ball tip. Thanks.

[@CoryLancasterYT]

Awww, poor Mizzys, believe me, you'll be back! Great vid!

[@blakeg.1093]

Great video, I was surprised a +6 player like Paige was using the ZX5 model. I play Srixon irons and think they are great, just surprised she is in the 5's.

[@mikecoughlin4128]

This video outlines why I was surprised when I heard that fitters only fit you with a 7i for a new set.

[@CoryLancasterYT]

Absolutely completely impossible for fitters to carry multiple irons in the same models absolutely ridiculous

[@mikecoughlin4128]

@@CoryLancasterYT I never said they should or could but not being a pro or a fitter or a person who has been to a fitter multiple times I was surprised when I heard it. This video explains why doing so, however practical, is prone to error. I had my only fitting a few years ago and was just told to come by and pick up the clubs when they came in. It seems there should be a part two now that I know more. I’ve never been completely satisfied with mine and don’t think they are very similar from one club to the next.

[@uwrossl]

Great video! Speaking of golf balls....would love to see Mikey test through the new Bridgestone Tour B lineup.

[@jarrettmcgregor1001]

Really enjoyed this because of the technical advice from Ian. And Paige was such a great sport and she is swinging it soooo gooood👌🏾

[@stevet.7927]

This video is relatable on a number of fronts as it could apply to me or any of the players I play with. 1. Importance of loft/lie adjustments (when done properly) and 2. Importance of Fitting to the player's goals/objectives. e.g. in the case of Paige, knowing that she can't always work on her game she has gone with the more forgiving clubs when it is clear that she could easily be playing the ZX7 in her short irons (if not the entire bag). Great video.

[@TaroZak]

Got fit for a Cobra CB and Tour flow set in Oregon, then I moved across the country to Florida… they finally get here and I realized the lie angles were a degree flat. Went to the local shop near me (NOT A CC STORE) to get them adjusted to my old specs… And they mess up the entire set and I had to get them warrantied after just one round ☹️. Waiting for the warranty set to get here… sucks Awesome video per usual !!♥️

[@mikec.2314]

I loved this fit session. My absolute iron miss is the pull hook and aim for the push draw..... time to go see Tim in Calgary to get he new irons dialed. They are not far off but as you can see, tweaks can really impact the delivery. Ian is the jedi.

[@mikehoffman7131]

Ian, always such informative videos. Paige is amazing as well. Such an awesome person and player. Nice collaboration. Can all of us golf nerds please get a fireside/club fitting discussion with you and Trottie together?

[@theDavesIknow]

Great vid. So relatable. I've got the Mizuno JPX HM Pros which are very comparable to the Srixon ZX5 and noticed the exact same things. I was looking at backing off the lofts, this helped me confirm it.

[@chrischampion727]

Ian at his best! Curious if you went back to the pitching wedge for any tweaks after the ball change…

[@Pagemarks]

I noticed her dynamic lie angle was quite a few degrees toe down. Is there ever a concern flattening someone’s clubs when they already deliver the club toe down?

[@jakebreathes2387]

Ian and Paige are such a great combination. Every video they do together is fun and informative.

[@stephan5278]

How long are you in NY? I need to come see you. I have a trip to FL planned in 2 weeks and need to get dialed in.

[@miah3087]

Wow wish I booked an appointment when you were here in NYC!!

[@tufph]

Ian, I have the same tendencies as paige where my shorter irons are +4°-5° on path and my driver is 0°. And everything is crossing over 10-15 yards. Do you just keep the same lie angle progression, through the set? And when should you stop adjusting lie angle for flight? Woods lie angle video???

[@kylesinclair203]

I hope he answers this. I have the same question….

[@garymutch601]

Great video Ian and you’re one of if not the best in the business along with young Mikey and Joe in Glasgow 😜 keep the great content coming. 🤙

[@SpiethDak]

Hey Mikey, take the rest of the day off. I'll shoot the video myself. No need for your assistance today. Taking one for the team. You owe me one Mikey! Ha ha 😂😂

[@James_solar]

Does the lie angle also affect your shot if let’s say you more push the ball right a little or would that be more of an opened face swing adjustment?

[@danielwinterbottom5531]

I had a gapping session recently I found 2up was pull/fade now 1 up feels I don't have to open the face as mucg

[@RobertFlynn-i4h]

Each swing she made, looks like a slight deceleration at impact, instead of fully rotating through. Deceleration equals club face closer with her pull if slightly is the answer to this

[@shawnwitek9613]

Where is the location of the Club Champion where Ian fits?

[@yanistsiopani2120]

Ian, when are you coming back to this side of the pond?? 🇬🇧

[@J2K2A]

My Club Champion fitter was about nothing but trying to upsell stuff. He refused to even let me try to hit any stock shafts. Only his premium shafts. Condescendingly asked me why I have a blade and not a more forgiving mallet. The SAM showed I was perfectly fit for my putter and he was still trying to sell me another one, but then he couldn't find the 60 toe hang blade he said I needed, even though I made every single putt with my putter and he gave up on my full bag fitting, only did iron and putter before he basically ignored me and started doing other things. I'm glad TXG is making tons of money now as part of CC, but CC tarnishes the name of TXG.

[@erik2446]

Paige wants a forgiving, yet more consistent iron that will give her more spin = Ping i230. Added bonus: the i230 are lighter than most heads, leading to somewhat increased clubhead speed.The i230 heads are probably at least 8 grams lighter than the Srixons.

[@carterhounslow]

Hang on, so am I right in understanding that the suggestion with the 9 iron was that it was too upright and this is why paige was closing the face more on those shots. I have a similar path to hers and my 9 iron always pushes, don't think I've ever turned it over, and my 6 iron and 7 iron I'm always sending left. 5 iron, 8 iron and everything else baby draws. Could it be my lie angle for some of my clubs is actually out and it *might* not be me? I've been mainly practicing off mats for two years with my irons so I wouldn't be surprised if they're out.

[@Andrew-ds9ms]

Superb content, so simple to follow

[@alexanderharrason]

I'm really interested on tips how I can check my Dynamic Lie in a non fitting Trackman studio. So that I could self asess if I need to see a fitter?

[@bruceneerhof]

Ive played the Srixon MK5s now for two years. My numbers are identical to Paige. I had to have the AW & PW made stronger to get proper gapping. I draw the ball too much. I think I need my lie angle more flat that than the standard, especaily since my clubs are +.5 inches. I dont carry the 5 iron because I hit it too low like her, so my 9 wood gives me a higher shot and propper gapping. My spin is slightly less then Paige, I too should try the Callaway ball. But will I lose some distance off the tee with the higher spinning ball?

[@iamfr00tl00ps]

Ian is such a class act.

[@_Will919]

Paige said it was Club Champion that suggested she test the Srixon irons, but now Ian is having to adjust them so they work for her. If anything that diminishes my confidence in the quality of fit I might receive at Club Champion. Am I understanding the situation correctly?

[@Seelarke]

Whole part of the reason to play with clubs and get Back in for a loft lie session after a few rounds and range sessions.

[@GP-tt2te]

Wish we could see Paige at least try the ZX7's just to see the results. I'd also recommend she try the Srixon balls.

[@stephenwaskiewicz5012]

Does ProV1x really spin that much more than TP5? I know TP5x and ProV1x have always been compared, but it seems like a lot more spin in ProV1x than just TP5, and TP5x spins even less

[@edmundbyrne6709]

When are u coming to Ireland?

[@insuranceinnovationsinc2475]

You adjusted the lofts weaker to balance the gaps...what adjustment was made to lie? thanks

She is getting jumper from zx5.. definitely needs 1 piece forging like zx7 combo 7-pw 5,6 in zx5

[@jeffbender2764]

Correct me if I’m wrong but a golf ball helped to fix a pull? I would think more spinning ball would make it worse.

[@rayjd1650]

No, the lie adjustment was for the pull draws

[@blakeroeder8518]

Assuming she got her irons from CC, how could they have been so off that Ian had to basically add almost 3 degrees of loft.
