NEW GOLF CLUB FITTING for a HIGH HANDICAPPER… GAME CHANGER??

[@Reffitt2]

Matt is such an amazing fitter! I've seen him on several videos now across multiple channels and he actually treats a high handicap player exactly how he treats a tour pro! Amazing his dedication to his craft!

[@christianvachon2235]

Nice! Thanks for sharing the fitting! I find the shaft selection process super interesting. Makes me realize how much we undervalue the importance of shafts in irons.

[@kevinbordner3334]

Absolutely an amazingly informative video . I enjoyed it immensely and will likely return to view it again soon .

[@jonathanthatcher74]

Interesting to compare to Foxy’s original fitting 2 years ago. Swing has developed so much. Also interesting that he’s gone for a more forgiving head than what he was fitted into as a beginner.

[@anthonytyreman]

Love this. I play off 18 and have been holding off on a fitting until I was ‘better’ but I think I’ll get one organised.

[@schuette1996]

Love to see that someone has done this makes me feel better about going to get a club fitting in the future

[@leecraigie2040]

Absolute class video! Definitely helped me understand more on why you need certain weight & flex etc and not just cos you swing it fast!

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Soon to be fitted for clubs after many years and getting back into the game, thanks for sharing - new sub today. BTW thats one hell of a swing for a high handicapper very nice

[@markwalters7498]

Pretty good swing for a 25 handicap. I bet the problem (same as me) is more likely bunker play, chipping and putting!

[@stevenwalmsley3468]

Love this fitting. Foxy is the high handicap hero. I hope this helps lower his scores now. ⛳️⛳️👍🏻👍🏻. Massive thumbs up on this. ⛳️

[@marklambert7144]

Foxy should be definitely buying the beers. What a great friend you are to set this up. Cheers!

[@joemullins1752]

Awesome video!! Love living thru JR Golf KZbin channel!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Appreciate your time mate

[@garydavis8213]

Brilliant as always from Matt. He’s been the fitter on a few different channels here and there. Good fellow. (Would love to see Liam drag Mr Barlow in there! Lol)

[@leearmstrong7007]

Just found this video. Great to see a high handicap fitting. I got a ‘fitting’ when I began and the driver I got (Taylormade SLDR) has been a nightmare. I was going to buy off the rack but rethinking that now.

[@eddietrich6257]

Reminds me of fitting at a Pga store my results get better with stronger lofted clubs, amazing.

[@chrisgirling1097]

Great to see a fitting I can relate too, Foxy has come on so far since he started. I was worried about going for a fitting as a high handicapper (21.4) but this has eased my mind quite a bit

[@wallstreetoneil]

I love the comment that Hot Metal Pro is those coming back from blades (me) and Hot Metal is those beginning their journey - I think that should be included in Mizuno literature because it makes a lot of sense for consumers & fitters to know.

[@banditbaker1675]

Great opening sequence Guys. Mr Fox looked like a Kid opening his presents on Christmas morning, he looked so happy👍

[@blindsquirrel3123]

Love seeing Foxy improve. Well done Gents

[@jerrysmiley1084]

Really enjoyed watching Foxy get fitted as I am a high handicapper also. Align grips are great if the fitter puts them on properly....I had some put on at one of the big box stores and they were all over the place.

[@roberthudson3571]

What a great video. So pleased for Foxy! I’d love to have a proper fitting for irons with the pros!! You’ve no chance against him now, James!! Lol

[@starks1974]

Good stuff Foxy!!! To gain that much distance is amazing! Can't wait to see the next head-to-head match with the new irons.

[@seanclarke4125]

Good on foxy hope he plays well with the new clubs. Well done James on getting him fitted. The mizuno fitting team explain well how its done. Enjoyed the video.

[@Ambush_golf]

Really awesome aspects placed on fitting vs coaching, and where fitting will help the process based on the inherent attributes of the person’s swing. Thanks James, and also Foxy and the Mizuno team for these videos.

[@davepoling3156]

Really enjoy these videos. I had my first fitting recently. Being a mid to high handicap I was concerned with consistent ball striking to get the best experience/value however the whole fitting process is very eye opening and enjoyable. I learned so much about my swing & how much the correct shaft can help performance. I highly recommend a fitting if you have access to a fitter and means to get one. I was fitted at Club Champion which allowed me to try different brands and ended up with the Nippon 950GH stiff shafts with the Mizuno 921 Forged heads.

[@gavinporter8035]

Great to see a high handicap fitting! Nice point Matt made about the right setup of a club to a golfers personal physical attributes, what ever their handicap. Like he said it automatically cuts out a negative in the learning arc. Oh, Foxy did you proud with his performance at the fitting James!👍

[@chadatkinson1174]

I have basically the same set up. But with the black KBS $ taper shafts. Loving them so far!

[@Slass07]

Foxy got the exact same fitting as myself even down to the shaft length and grip with 3 tapes, only difference is I’ve got the JPX forged head. Go well Foxy lad.

[@robertchilton7334]

I can't wait to see the end result in action. Good luck Foxy!!

[@a.m.d.6679]

Interesting video. My concern with being fitted as a high-handicapper (returning to golf after about a 15 yr layoff - used to be a bogie golfer) is that if I'm fitted for clubs based on my current swing (stance, plane, swing speed, etc), what happens after a series of lessons where the pro improves my swing so that most everything changes? I may end up needing a different lie angle, shaft flex, etc. (Not to mention that I'm 15 yrs older, so my current set likely has specs that aren't optimal for my 64 y.o. body, anyway.) Which comes first, lessons or the fitting? Kinda like the chicken vs the egg conundrum, no?

[@kevinscott2780]

So happy for foxy to find something to help with consistency! Really enjoyed the video James!

[@Simplycomfortfood]

Much different approach fitting Foxy compared to fitting James. Really glad you brought this fitting for us to watch.

[@Random_r_footy_stuff]

Great video. Well done foxy. Any time I have been fit, I have felt a little of pressure and you seemed to smash. 90mph 7 iron speed is tour speed!! Wow

[@briantwining86]

Great Video 🔥 I’ve been playing for about 2 years now and using hand me down Dunlop Surpass Irons 😳 I’m usually in the high 90’s so I think it’s time for upgraded clubs and it’s very informative seeing how important the shaft is.

[@halberd0109]

Good posting! I’m looking forward to the club swap video.

[@mugz_1437]

Very shortly I want to be fitted for irons but done with someone I trust the likes of American golf and stuff so not actually fit you to your spec they are more bothered about selling you certain clubs at that time. What fitting centre is this James? Would love to go there and get myself a set of mizuno?

[@davidrobbins1936]

Can't wait to see you guys playing with the new bats! Mine are on the way soon too. (I hope)

[@GenXGolf24]

I came from mizuno mp-54 I needed something more forgiving so I went to callaway apex but I want to get back to mizuno I love the feel

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Cracking video again James and really good to see foxy get fitted again, looking forward to seeing his progress with his new weapons

[@waynecalvert206]

Love my mizuno got mi e back end of last mp20 hmb 1st ever mizuno clubs owned love em

[@lindsaynewell6319]

Every time I see Matt doing a fitting, I know it's going to be good. Foxy with the TOUR shaft💪 That last shot that Matt showed is a single digit hcap 7 iron. Foxy just needs to work on being able to consistently hit it.

[@chriswray983]

Great video - well done guys

[@777thlee]

Go Foxy!!!!! great video, can't wait to see you 2 battling it out! Get ready to be beaten, James!

[@dcooper701]

Did foxy even get to try the 225's. I waffled between the hotmetal and 225's and the 225's performed just a smidge less in distance but in control and feel oh what a feeling.

[@kiplingvisintini5783]

225 FEEL GREAT=HOT METAL NO FEEL

[@clydewoods7373]

Thanks great video

[@xupthree60]

I play 921 hot metal and love them. I also have a set of sim max os, and with the Mizuno's I can feel where I struck the ball on the face. On the sims I have no clue.

[@DH-sm7sw]

Your slick Aston I was following at Archerfield LOL?

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Yes buddy 😂😂😂

[@DH-sm7sw]

@@JamesRobinsonGolf and looked like you enjoyed the chicken burger. Which course did you play? If you came across any orange balls they were mine 😕A great club with two very different courses.

[@richardcarling4480]

Best fitter around, would love to have an experience like that

[@brianmcpeake2509]

You can't go wrong with the JPX line. I have the 900's in the KBS tour with golf pride tour wrap grips. They are great clubs. The 921's will probably be my upgrade soon.

[@barriedavies333]

An excellent instruction video. You are obviously a good player James but anybody who has seen many good golfers play would observe your swing as being way too flat. Hope that lesson works wonders for you.

[@martinwedge4696]

Love the way the fitter explains everything. Would love a fitting from him

[@spotcatsteve3752]

My wife said that.

[@keithmalpass563]

As a member of the public, you are allowed to book a fitting with Mizuno. They charge £500.00 for the fitting process and before Covid, they would make up a set for you to take away. I think that now you have to wait for the clubs to be made as Mizuno, along with all Manufacturers' custom fitting, have a backlog. Mine took just over 3 months to arrive.

[@patrickmccabe3241]

thank you.

[@richardsdiaz1]

Way to go Foxy! Your definitely improving if thats what your being fit into!

[@royclose946]

Well done James 👏

[@stephencarlisle3743]

Very interesting video. Big question though , What does it all cost ?

[@tonyjennings4317]

Foxys swing looking good 👍

[@matthewwildsmith9786]

Interesting to see process- I’ve been through myself recently. I’d love to see some videos highlighting Foxy’s scoring and how his handicap changes. I sometimes can’t believe he’s off 25

[@lyallorange9024]

Now that’s a fitting! 👍

[@S6Kev]

I see a lot of fitters affiliated to just one brand/make. I understand shafts etc can all be made similar no matter the head but how much difference can a different head brand make and are there going to be restrictions in getting the perfect club for you if you don’t have the option of heads?

[@davidpierce2423]

1st committing before I watch.....best part of my day

[@kevinwood1722]

I like how Foxy wants to take a realistic approach to all this like not using his driver until he gets on with it better and seems patient towards his equipment.

[@stevenharris5662]

Brilliant lads 👍

[@52t99]

James, so much for being a fly on the wall. Huge fly that knocked down clubs huh. 🤣🤣

[@bigboy9842]

Happy for him good stuff

[@paulwinsor4599]

Foxy has a very competent almost text book swing credit where credits due he has bundles of potential, single figure not far down the road

[@2130Redskins]

We've got identical sets, only mine are lefty!

[@leedsumitedkennethbrown3456]

Loved the video nothing feels like a Mizuno well PXG 2011 (2019) take some beating foxy going to smash it this season

[@hudsonrilke]

Have to admit to being a little cynical. Not that I don’t agree with this process but hell this is an expensive business doing this every 2 years as your handicap reduces. How would his current clubs have performed with the new shafts? He was fitted to quite expensive clubs when he started out. I appreciate his swing has changed since starting out. That’s a bloody long 7 iron by the way. I’m under 150 yards.

[@danfields3341]

How did the fitting translate to the course....

[@creesey77]

Go on Foxy your be smashing James up once you get them and see that handicap coming down soon

[@GarFieldSnakes]

It would be fun to do a 9 holes course, and than a few days later with the new clubs and see if it makes a difference.

[@modernjewelry5303]

Great video. Not sure if it means anything but it seems like all the scuff marks are behind or at the ball. Should the scuff marks be in front of the ball meaning ball first contact? Thank you

[@kiplingvisintini5783]

BINGO!AXE MURDERER SWING.LMAO NOW THAT JAMES WENT AND SAW PETER COWAN AND REALIZED WHAT A SHIT SWING HE REALLY HAS HE CAN NOW SHOW HIM PETERS WAY.

[@quadrapayunir]

great to see the ins and outs of a fitting...

[@ozzie_golf1157]

Go on foxy! 🤙🏻

[@markmorrison8600]

Matt is a great ambassador for mizuno,comes across really well Also foxy…..he’s gonna be a machine when you’re finished with him

[@lexxwhite747]

Can't wait to see the on course content with Foxys new twigs!

[@iandickson8494]

I wish you could get this type of fitting to use for 2nd hand clubs. I'm thinking of changing my clubs back to regular after playing last three years with Lite flex (old man) but more golf means i feel like i need to go back to regular to get rid of high shots losing distance.

[@GolfQuestChannel]

This is a good idea. You may have a winning idea here.

[@scottwitman7285]

Foxxy needs to up his wardrobe game.... I thinking every video this year, he has worn the same shirt, James, give him some CASTOR wear !!

[@cjherriman7226]

Same shafts I was fitted for and so far love them. Haven’t had them on grass yet just in the simulator but feel great. Interesting explanation on head choice with a perfect explanation. Good luck foxy and looking forward to seeing that handicap fall.

[@jerryneff6018]

That you for saying 'it's a myth high Handicapers need a soft flex shaft '. Amen.

[@2010LeeG]

Same shaft, grip and heads as me, knocked 10 off my handicap. (I am 18 month in to the game).

[@GolfQuestChannel]

Wow nicely done. Keep up the excellent progress!

[@P4ddyC4ke]

How did this affect his game? As a high handicapper, I've never been able to justify the expense of a fitting and new clubs like this. I'm very curious as to what kind of difference this has made to his scoring.

[@bobwehner7881]

Would you describe the role that smash factor plays?

[@keithmalpass563]

As I understand it, the smash factor is the ratio between clubhead speed and ball speed. I believe the current regulations allow up to 1.5. Golf ball manufacturers get as close to that as possible.

[@stevenwilson6531]

How much would all that normally cost, including the clubs?

[@keithmalpass563]

When I last looked it was £500.00 for the fitting and recommended retail for the clubs. You used to get the clubs made on the day but since Covid, there is a backlog. Mine took 3 months.

[@nunchuckasmccool6768]

Loving watching Foxy’s progress and no offence Robbie but the majority of us want to see more of this and getting Foxy lower. Great content.

[@Athon08]

Couldn’t right or left leaking shots be attributed with lie angle? I had a slightly right leaking shot and I hit a strike plate with paper on the sole and I was hitting more towards the toe. Fitter went toe up a little and shots were instantly straight

[@georgepyle4244]

Can't wait to see foxy play with his new clubs

[@ianburton9223]

So the lad is a cricketer. Now that explains a lot about his swing - looks like a strong drive over long-off.

[@garyartingstall7]

You could make a career of introducing average golfers to a proper fitting. I enjoy very much.

[@gmuzz]

Who fitted foxy the first time? Although he's improved a lot the OG spec seems odd.

[@tomb9658]

Golf is not about hitting a low lofted 7 iron 170 yards and assuming everything is great. There is 30 yards to 170 yards that need to be covered consistently. Golf is a tough game. Golf is not about distance only. Hard and fast greens need spin and accuracy. Slow and soft greens, everything sticks. Better players irons are less offset and thinner soles with better turf interaction. Less distance but more spin and accurate. Choose your poison.

[@jayrose9463]

I’m close to his handicap He’s hitting so much more pure than me I’m lost.

[@ChildoftheMostHigh1]

If I'm 68.5 inches tall almost 69 should I have standard length or half inch shorter?

[@alexgoulding8459]

Is the fitter Jamie Oliver in disguise. Brilliant fitting video again. Hope he cooked you up some great grub

[@robinwhite144]

Did they say how long it would be as KBS Tour shafts are non-existent as far as I know.

[@thechaa3176]

Foxy needs to watch Danny Maude and fix his swing. Yr welcome😎

[@micheldubeau5076]

What does a fitting cost?

[@DLTJR1959]

Folk are posting 500#. Here in the states that is equivalent to $665. Most shop here in the US will fit you if you purchase the clubs from them at retail. Guess it's built into the price. Don't know if the fitting process is as good as what this was though.

[@michaellittle9412]

How long has he been playing and what’s his handicap

[@mathewbrennan4896]

Did they adjust lie angle at all?

[@kevinmaggard5635]

How is a club fitting with only 1 brand a fitting at all? I was fitted recently and trying only one brand seems a waste, at that point you might as well just buy what you want, who cares what works best
