I hit my driver about 240-250. I play 10 clubs total. I feel like I use my 7iron, 5 hybrid and pitching wedge the most (aside from the putter of course). Great video!

[@garydavis8213]

This is the greatest all time infomercial for TXG. Problem is simply that you don’t have enough locations. If I go to the local golf shop, I KNOW I’m not getting a proper fitting. If I drive 40 miles to the only advertising “fitter” “in the local area”, I will never feel that I’ve gotten what I need to get out of a club fitting after watching these videos. 😪

[@samuelcollie2050]

I am a 70 year old senior. I just did a full bag fitting at a company here in the U.S. (Oregon). One of the recommendations, which I had thought of already, was for me to eliminate my 5 metal. I have a 5 and 7 metal in the bag and hit them both about the same distance. I also have wedges that don't match my Ping G400 7-U irons (56 and 60). I am replacing the wedges with a 54 and 58 that match my set. My driver head, after lots of testing with others, was best for me but will order a different shaft per the fitter's recommendation. My average drive is about 210 yards. The new shaft added around 10 yards. Last, ordering a new 4 and 6 hybrid per the fitter's recommendation. Fitting was well worth the money and fun!

[@clubchampionmedia]

That's great to hear Samuel!!

[@jtex1013]

the way this channel talks about specifics and finite details without being 1) overly complicated or 2) condescending is absolutely perfect. Love the content guys!

[@samlawson7428]

I have been watching you guys and gal's for ages now.. the best golf channel buy far. this is your best video to date.. well done. keeping it real... thank you.

[@2Bad.]

Another fantastic video that you guys just knocked out of the park. Great to see you guys talk more and more to "the average" or senior distance/level golfer. I'm always looking forward to seeing your next video.

[@doug4912]

Thanks Ian and Mike. I watched this video a year or so ago, but I’m going to get fitted in a couple weeks so I thought I would watch it again. Wow, it’s even better the second time around.

[@jcstreck74]

Just came to your channel recently. Videos like this just shows me how much I really don’t know. And worse, I don’t know what else I don’t know. Now that I live in AZ, golf and properly set clubs has become more important to me. Wish you guys were local!

[@chuckhill6299]

Love this type of information. I am a self taught 4 handicap and my set is pieced together with 6 different brands. I know I leave alot of shots on my scorecard by not being properly fit and this video just gets my wheels turning!!! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@geoffcohen613]

@chuck Look in bags of pros and you will find lots of different makes and models, as long as the lies and lofts OK what the problem. The face of a titliest is flat same as a Taiolr made.

[@InwonKim1982]

What a great video. I had to do this by myself. I went to several fitting studio and had conversations but no body satisfied me with their knowledge or how they do the job. Having someone like you near home is very important because fitting process is not one time thing I believe.

[@dylancoo5133]

Mike is the man! Fitted me for a driver in the winter and loving it!

[@emkayusa]

I just started this year, I’m too new to even do a gapping session, before I even bought clubs I learned that a beginner doesn’t need 14 clubs. I have 10, and I only really use 4 or 5 while playing. I bought a starter set of cheap clubs, and have replaced them with pretty much the same loft clubs. Just ones that are nicer to look at, lol. I bought most used, once in good enough to do a gapping session, shaft fitting I’ll drive up there and have it done. Let’s see what happens first, me getting better, or Canadians letting us back in their country (I live in Buffalo). Right now I have an M4 driver, Wilson D300 3 wood 15, D300 4h 22, Wilson D7 6-P, Wilson C200 SW, Cleveland putter.

[@GSHOCKOUTDOORS]

I keep coming back to the older videos and picking up something new. The links conditions Ian talked about at the end is something I play regularly here in NZ and have ended up doing almost as described (I have 4* bounce 54 for the low nipper and 12* bounce 58 for bunkers) through a LOT of trial and error.

[@charlesmelaisis4872]

You always seem to make stuff that should be boring really interesting Keep up the good work lads

[@chynz330]

Great point guys. I swing about 225 carry and I used to carry too many woods and hybrids. Since I stuck to a 4-5 wood and a forgiving ping utility and a 4 iron, skipped the five iron, I played so much better, simply because I didn't have the option on course to overthink the choice club. Now I have the luxury of carrying 4 wedges, two of which are same lofts just different bounce. My scrabbling is much better along with pace of play! Love the channel, keep up the great job!

[@nocturnalmayhem0]

at first i thought this was just another youtube golf channel but man you really put the science in the game and ive seen my game be better from watching. thanks

[@FlyboyAF22]

This is why TXG is the best Ian!! Everybody sign up at Patreon and support these guys taking these analyses to the next level! I've been seeing reviews come out for the new Ping i500 irons.....can't wait to see you or Matt do a full-fledged review on those as they look like a breakthrough type of set : )

[@derekpolano3654]

Fantastic video as always. Really love your stuff, and the fact that you are only a few hours from where I live is really encouraging!

[@iainjamieson607]

So much of what the guys are saying perfectly describe the set up of my bag . Going to have to re think things .

[@sduke39]

Great video guys. This really hits home. I'm still playing fairway woods from 2002, irons from 2005, and my driver is from 2010. My wedges are a couple of seasons old and are due to be replaced. But my gaps are perfect for me and I know exactly how far each club goes. My irons are no longer USGA conforming which has put me in a predicament if I want to play in any state or national level tournaments. But I'm actually fearful of getting new equipment especially since I play heavy swing weights and flat lies. My fairway woods are 4 degrees flat and I can't find any current fairway woods that can go that flat. It took me several years of hard work to get my set to where I like it and having to start over is not my idea of fun. I'm really afraid of getting that "fitter" we have all had experience with that is dead set on selling me clubs that go the furthest because my numbers with those clubs are "optimized" fro my swing. Why is Canada so far from Texas?

[@charlesrohl7635]

Undescribable ! How awesome you guys are w)your subjects you come up with. Love to listen to you guys talk.

[@r.knight781]

Mike is a good add... nice to hear the builder perspective.

[@wallstreetoneil]

The other thing Ian didn't mention but can be very real is that new sets may not even be close to actual spec. I am very lucky living close to TXG that I was able to go in and do a gapping session for my Callaway CF16 irons. Only the 5 iron was actually at spec - the rest of the lofts and lies were out all over the place. The best money you will ever spend in golf is going to TXG and getting your Irons and wedges properly gapped for loft and lie. It is actually not expensive and would be my number one recommendation of how to spend ANY money in golf. Gapping your irons and wedges and then fitting in the right combo of clubs at the top of the bag, for your swing speed and handicap, to me is worth 10 lessons. My second recommendation for the more serious golfer is to then consider getting all your clubs re-grip with the same grip so that your wedges, your irons, you hybrids and woods all feel the same in your hands - the grip is so important so spend the money once everything is gapped correctly and have them gripped for YOU.

[@justinstephenson9360]

For me the ideal gapping is 12 yards apart and I can promise you I do not hit the driver 300 yards (at least not unless the fairway is rock hard downhill and big wind behind!). The more interesting question is whether gapping is consistent throughout the bag. I suspect that most mid HC golfers have sensible gapping at top end of the bag but may find that there is not a lot of difference between 4i & 5i or 5i & 6i. Current I carry driver, 3w, 5w, 19 hybrid, 5i-PW then 50,54 & 58 degree wedges. In the next few years I would not be surprised if 5i gets dropped for another hybrid.

[@AaronColton93]

Thank you for the level of clarity on your videos. This has really helped with realistic selection and use case of the top end of the bag.

[@zoflo728]

Jut found your channel. Great info, awesome delivery. A lot of good golf channels but yours is the best at getting at meaningful info about equipment without a lot of unnecessary fluff.

[@drywater_]

Took me way too long to subscribe to this channel. Stellar content.

[@robertcourt8593]

Great little video, touched upon something that's not mentioned enough and that's the difference in gaps for shorter hitters rather than long hitters.

[@theblackrabbit2626]

I've often deliberately practiced and carried only 7 clubs (including putter). And often score better with this reduced bag. Strong 3 wood. 7 wood or equiv. loft hybrid. 6 iron. 8 iron. PW. LW. Putter. I use the same 7 clubs and build a fair amount of confidence with those clubs...so at address feel confident over the ball with "one of my favoured clubs", feel I can knock down the 6 iron or 8 iron etc to get the distance required etc. I carry my 3 wood 210. Play off 12. Swing easy. (I'm pushing 50yo!) Practice my short game a lot and I do OK. I really don't think mid handicappers like me or high handicappers need anything like 14 clubs in the bag.

[@lawrencebogar6136]

I am upgrading my bag to fitted Hogan irons and I will play fewer than 14 clubs. My range is 6,500 yards from the whites. The 3I and the hybrid are gone. I will only carry the 3W when I have tight driving holes. Fewer clubs, fewer errors.

[@leohelfrich1926]

Great discussion and advice. Rethinking my bag as the seasons change to accommodate the conditions. That will be a few shots saved due to ‘if I had my......

[@ChristopherMangels]

It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect and it's a good thing!

[@PaulSmith-uj6qv]

and the more I learn that I have not been going to a good fitter

[@ericmartinez4753]

Great video and explanation on how to approach setting up the bag. Definitely something I see around the forums are guys asking what club they should buy or do they need a specific club and don't even consider the gap that needs to be filled. I've seen setups with a 4 iron and 4 hybrid because they met a gap need

[@leecorleone]

yup i play a 26 hybrid and a blade 5 iron so i have a 11 yard carry gap between the two despite 1 degree of loft difference.

[@storieswithaly1247]

Bery much support from my experience the different things you refer to. Indeed over my last recent 50 rounds (walking) I decided to just take 7 clubs (and my scores on my difficult home course) were not much different to when I use the full set putter included (or excluded as the case may be). Given the downward angle of attack and relatively slower swing speed (being in my 60s) exactly my driver carry (when hit well) is in the range of 200-210. I use two hybrids then a 3 19 degree hybrid (180-185 yds) a 4 hybrid 22 degree (160-165 yds), then my 7 iron (140-150) and if I need to jump go to my 9 iron next (125-130) - have an 8 if I need it for a particular course. Use the 9 for chipping. Then jump to a gap wedge (60 degrees - 90-100 yards). Carry a pw if I need. Then sand wedge (56 degrees). Also as you talked about after frustrations with fairway woods I no longer use a 3 or 5 wood (indeed dont even posses them). My challenge now is to marry the driver and driver length with the gap between my 3 hybrid but can live with it if I have to as I chip very well with either my 9 or pw. And my putter is generally always hot or can even put just as well with my hybrid. So if I can make the drover my friend with more reliability and think about how to fix that long gap between the 3 hybrid and driver length (maybe a forgiving driving iron or one of the new things coming soon like the TM gapr might be the answer).

[@mariojarmuske7196]

Stories with Aly n

[@hi2meb]

Recently cleaned out my bag. Had driver, three fairway woods 3, 5, 7 a 2 iron, two hybrids 4 & 5. Now I’m carrying a driver, 3 wood and a hybrid 4. I no longer stand over the ball wondering if I have the right club. Very interesting point about shaft weight progression, hadn’t really thought much about it.

[@kevink6513]

I also just took my hybrid out of the bag based on this. It has a 90 gram shaft that did not work with the build. But I did love the feel of the weight.

[@trxe420]

So i go with driver, 3w, 2h, 5i-9i, 46-50-54-58-62 and i love it. People say i have a huge gap at the low end and too many wedges, but each of my wedges has a specific purpose in my bag. All my wedges have different grinds and bounces, the 62 is the high-toe and very versatile. As for the low end, i have 3 different driving tools. Irons just cover a distance. If i need to hit a 3i-4i length i choke up on my hybrid, would rather have the extra wedges for shots. I think the main benefit to my game is now i have different tools for different jobs. Gaps are just one part of it, but for me lie has a bigger impact. I can hit my 50 same distance as my 62, but they have two different bounces and grinds. I think the driving iron trend is sort of the same thing, its another way of playing a drive with different characteristics. I wish yall were closer to me, i need a good driver fitting :)

[@williambocht6285]

Tommy Eden I like it a lot but replace 58 with a 4h

[@oldgold5848]

For me 10 degree driver, 16 degree fairway, 22 degree hybrid, 5 iron to pitching wedge, 52 58 and 64 degree wedge and putter.....13 clubs.....I sometimes add in another hybrid if I think I may need a higher flight than the five iron..... I really don't see much need for 3 and five wood.....unless you drive a lot with the 3....depends on the course I guess, but I love the '4' wood. A lot of the wedge gapping depends upon the strength of loft of the irons. I prefer more traditional lofts. Great info as usual guys

[@leecorleone]

yeah it depends on the course and how long you are w the other clubs. I dont play 3 or 5 wood either.

[@Redskies453]

That is exactly what I play. Essentially 1, 4, 7 wood. I added an identical hybrid tuned to 25°, this can sometimes hit green from 175m. My irons are all 4° apart starting from 8i, so 40, 44, 48pw, then 52, 56, 60. Better to have larger gaps at the top of the bag and good distance control in the short irons and wedges.

[@MrAhuraMazda]

I got a Ping Glide 2.0 54 and im in love. The Glides feel a little more substantial than other wedges and the 54, 52 can really close that gap on full swings.

[@robpottergolf]

Absolutely FANTASTIC vlog and a piece that's been needed on KZbin for quite sometime. Also you're timing is impeccable as I'm going to get refit again for a set of irons next month. I don't think amature golfers necessarily think about half of these things and just get the retailer to fit them, which naturally will only be a quick fit. The key to me is find an independent like yourself and others around the world where the consumer may be and get an unbiased approach to fitting. I'm saving my cash as we speak to come see you in Toronto from the UK and try and get a Jays or Leaf's game in whilst I'm there lol

[@clubchampionmedia]

👍👍👍

[@JamesThompson-zl2sk]

Hi Ian Nice to see another member of your staff and see he is very knowledgeable to Like to see a video on a combo set and see how you would gap them and your thoughts on doing combo sets.

[@ayonsanchez1170]

Great video, this strategic and holistic understanding of the set composition can be more helpful than just A vs B comparisons.

[@storieswithaly1247]

Just to add about the gap wedge and iron set marrying, if you are a lefty like me and I have srixons and they dont make a gap wedge for lefties then the way I overcome this (and yes only use for full shots as I chip with the 9 or pw) is to keep within the broad family hence went with the rtx 3 and the same shafts as my irons- also for the sand wedge. Closest thing to matching up. But the point of gapping/yardage and closer marrying depending on what ones swing characteristics, length etc is necessary and spot on.

[@JuanGarcia-hr1wf]

Great video Ian and Mike. Looking forward to my fitting at True Spec in Doral and picking Andy's head with my questions

[@JuanGarcia-hr1wf]

Hey Ian. Just finished my driver fitting at True Spec in Doral. Hunter was great, determined right away that Ping GMax driver lofted up at 11.5 gave me the best results. In addition, suggested getting rid of fairways woods and recommended Cobra F max 3,4,5 hybrids instead. Do you have any feedback on the Cobra F max hybrids for slower swing players like myself? Thanks

[@mikebest634]

Great insight in to clubbing guys ,I carry a 4 wood and have a 3 wood but I'm just putting together a 7 wood so I will switch the 4 and 3 out on particular days ,I don't mind people saying a 7 wood is a ladies club I can't hit a decent shot with a hybrid for love nor money .The 7 wood is a wilson deep red 2 21 degrees and it will have an Aldila voodoo x 75 in it , playing around 41 inch I think ,hopefully be ready for the weekend ,I like tinkering with stuff.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

mike best, I very recently replaced my older set of Titleist 990 B irons (4-PW) with 718 AP2 5-9. Had already gone with a 46 Vokey as my replacement for PW. I chose a 917 21* Fairway, as my 4 Iron replacement, because I have never found a "hybrid" I liked the Look Of or the Shot Shape Produced. (I had replaced my Driver, 3 & 5 Woods with 917 D2 and F2.

[@Raswingjones]

what's the proper gapping for someone that carries driver 235 in the air 3-wood goes about 210 and then 5 wood goes about 190 and then 7 wood goes about 180 and I will goes about 170 Carry.... then we transition tour 6iron which is the longest iron in the bag all the way down to a 58-degree wedge.... course distance plays 6500 to 6700.....

[@andrewmccullough9334]

This was a great introduction into elements of custom fit that we simply aren't offered in Northern Ireland. Our options are very limited. I'd love to learn more about this kind of thing 👍

[@brendanfinlay6750]

[@logankelch4869]

Great explanation on how gapping effects your game and fitting! I play PW 52 58... my home course is only about 6300 yards from the whites so driver and wedge for most par 4’s during the season. par 3’s are relatively short. I am just this year hitting my driver and woods well which is helping a lot but but now I think my 4 iron is the same distance as my hybrid.... totally different flights though which is the only reason I haven’t changed the bag. Great work guys keep it up!

[@what_the_fred337]

I have not hit a single shot this year and already feel more confident in my game thanks to you guys! Keep it up 🏌️

[@jeffmac62]

13 index here, playing with rack clubs, and this was a great video to help me see the possibility of what a quality fitter could do for me. The knowledge you both have of the process came across very well.

[@tapiatitan92]

Another great video! Loving the content still. As for what I'm playing - 10.5 driver, 3W I can't seem to hit, 5i-Sw, 60 deg and a putter. My biggest gaps are between driver and 5i and PW to 60 deg. I really want to get a gap session done but I feel my shots aren't consistent enough yet to get good value out of it. I started the summer with a 115 and just shot a 98 Sunday morning, so I'm close to the goals I've set for myself. Course management has helped the most, but really dialing in my distances I think would be a good next step. Right now par 3's and the long par 4s are my biggest enemies and it's mostly due to not being confident in what distances will get me where I need to be.

[@laneevans7360]

Love this info as I’m trying to put together my first real quality bag of clubs for myself. That being said, I would love to hear more from Ian or Mike about what constitutes a “bad build.” How can you tell? Are there just certain types of shafts that don’t work well with certain heads/brand clubs? Thanks again for everything you guys are doing.

[@clubchampionmedia]

More videos from the build shop will be coming this winter!

[@Master...deBater]

Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way...but my set composition changes for each of the courses and conditions in which I play. Up here in western Montana our local courses were built in extremely varying environments...from lush river valleys to exposed mountainsides and links style sand dunes. I set my bag up for the course I will be playing...and proper gapping is less of a priority. For instance...one of the courses is heavily timbered with narrow fairways. I absolutely must have my 3-iron to extract my ball from the trees. And guys who can't hood a 3-iron...might as well leave their driver in the car. Another local course...although fairly wide open...has narrow fairways and incredibly gnarly rough. Not necessarily high...but extremely thick and dense. It's nice in that the ball tends to stay up...but my short faced fairway woods want to go right underneath it...resulting in high short shots. So...I go with one fairway wood and two hybrids...I'd much rather have to hit a hybrid from the fairway, than a fairway wood from the rough. I tend to think in terms of different shots that I might have to play...rather than the exact spacing of each of my clubs. Of course...I try to keep them as close together as possible. But to me...playing around a gap in yardage is easier than trying to play around course conditions that require certain clubs, and certain shots...in order to avoid the dreaded blowup hole.

[@rayseek5211]

[@keithfinley2939]

Wilson PMP wedges

[@krusher74]

I drive about 180/220, so I am glad my next club is my 5 hybrid that goes about 170 and have not wasted money of woods etc that dont have much use/gap to be in.

[@ZebDee92]

I’ve just spent a lot of money buying new clubs and I have found that my old set my father gave me to the new set has roughly a difference of 6° from the old loft to new loft (7iron was 36° and is now 29°) So I have picked up more wedges now having 5 just in 4° spacing from pitching (43°)-Aw(48°)-Gw(52°)-Sw(56°)-Lw(60°). But now I have lost space for my woods and hybrid. Trouble is that my 4i and 5i are close is distance so I can take out the 4i and put my hybrid back in but leaves me with a large gap between it and my driver with no club room left in bag for a 3 wood. Wish the people I got fitted by understood this more before I spent so much money and now it seems I’ll have to spend more on spacing the wedges out further so I can fit a 3 wood back in the bag. If it wasn’t so expensive to fly to Canada from Australia I’d drop in to see you guys. Thanks TXG for all the information it’s been so helpful as a newcomer to golf.

[@justyouraveragegolfer9792]

Yesssssss. This information has been required for ages. Golf clubs are tools. It's all about using the right tools for you. We are aloud to carry 14 clubs, but we don't have to!

[@duffinjp]

Really enjoyed this video. I feel I disproportionately hit my wedges short and hadn't really considered it anything other than my issue. But I've never felt strong on full shots with my 50 and mainly use my 50/56 for the feel shots. The set gap makes a lot of sense and the transition with something like the glide also makes sense. I always thought the glides looked bulky and felt I'd miss the forged feel.the new ones though... I feel like had I been in your shop I'd of lost a lot of money today!

[@leecorleone]

[@exitar1]

Finally some sensible talk about golf clubs and the average player...The person who hits the ball 200 yards wishes they had 9 or 10 yard gap between clubs LOL...

[@moodswingcafe]

Great video, yes I would also love to know more on set composition to gapping. I am have trouble playing long irons, and opt for 5wood and 7wood instead of hybrids.

[@neutrino61]

Nice video as always. Mike has really become eloquently. Appreciate a lot. Fitting process well explained. Thanks a lot. Dr. Q

[@xRelyT1]

Driver goes around 280-300, 3 wood (15*) 250-270, 3 hybrid (19) 225-250, and my 3 iron is around a 210 carry. As you can tell with my yardages, I struggle very much with consistency with 3 wood and hybrid. Have considered going with 4 wood (or p790 UDI) and strengthening my 3 and 4 irons 2 degrees to cover the gap. Wedges are vokey 50 54 and Hi-toe 60. Have thought of PW bending from 46-48 also. Long comment just curious to some thoughts. Tend to strike irons better than fairway wood and hybrid

[@chipcranford48]

Another great video! Thank you!

[@rino3713]

Love your videos and I appreciate the testing using a good player with high swing speed. I’d like to get your take on the effect of adding counter weighting to the butt end of the grip using tour lock pro. I’ve put 30g plugs through my whole set and love the feel but can’t quite explain why. This is also a trend with products like secret grip and something you talked about a little bit with your videos on the tensi orange shaft as well as the weight of increasing grip size.

[@clemfisher5727]

Gapping sessions are good, but it depends on how you are swinging on the day - if it's a bad day, you might well get some odd distances.

[@fproszek]

I use 7-8-pw-sw-putter. My 7 iron is 160 including roll. 3 of those will get me on or chipping. Then i take my usual 4 putts and move along. It's great to end with the same ball . Sorry to annoy the foresome when they all hit 240 center, but hey, that's only twice a year. I just can't hit a long club anymore .

[@Aaronfps2]

Hi Guys. I need confirmation that I've worked out my fit right please? D - 260, 270. 3W- 230,240. 3H- 220, 225. My irons are 4 to PW, 200 to 130. GW-110,120, SW-100,110. LW-70,95. GW is a 50 but worried Ive to much gap to PW? Love all your posts by the way.

[@alexanderyu565]

Please make a video on how adjusting the driver loft sleeve affects lie/loft/face for different brands!!!!!

[@Michael_303]

You guys bring up shaft weight progression and a 50g driver shaft and an 83g 3W shaft as a potential negative. With that in mind, I don't think iron shaft weight progression gets enough attention. Most taper tip shafts are the same weight in the 3 as they are the 9 and parallel tip shafts actually get heavier as they get longer. It surprises me that the ascending mass shafts aren't more popular.

Great video. Primary reason for me looking at new irons is the gapping. Longer, lower spin sets cause issues on both ends of the bag. 5i is near 4 hybrid/crossover spot and big gap from PW to Vokey 50. I that a common issue now with the plethora of distance oriented irons? Would like to have more traditional lofts but still game improvement type forgiveness. Any recommendations would be very welcome! Thx for the great channel

[@SunRider69]

I wish you guys could fit me. Unfortunately I live in Seattle.

[@danielb.1384]

Great content guys! A video about gapping & set composition while simultaneously TM drops their GAPR line, what a timing 😄 noticed that their 2 iron (790 Udi& GAPR lo) are fairly light with D2 and fairly long with around 40.25”. currently game a 716 T-MB 2i with a x100. Any chance the get those driving irons to a decent swing weight with a graphite shaft that’s around standard 2i length (~39.5”) if those heads are that light?

I’m going to the open on Sunday txg

[@clubchampionmedia]

Awesome, enjoy!!

[@geoffperez9917]

Guys I wish I could make it up for a gapping because the top end of my bad needs help .. driver 260-270 then hybrid is knocking on 250s door and a 230 4 iron .. idk what club is off .. my guess would be the driver because sometimes I can get it out there

[@whogg0521]

Such good info. I wish I still lived in Toronto to come check you guys out.

[@rayfarrell9482]

You talk about weight progression, I have a 55g driver and increase +/- 10g up to hybrid, but my irons are heavier 120, because it helps my tempo. Thoughts?

[@nrs_207]

I’m a little more advanced than most I’d imagine. I’m currently gaming an M4 19* hybrid. I like the look of irons more so the GAPR LO sounds great. I hit the new UDI with a HZRDUS Black 6.5 hybrid and it was too low for me to stop into a green. Great for driving about 250+. Such a dilemma. Wish I could have both. Since into greens where I can’t roll it up it’d go from trying a high cut with what’s normally a 260-270 3 wood down to a blasted 4 iron that’s normally 220-230 if I took out the hybrid. Quite a gap unless I could learn to hit a high cut with a 17* iron lol

[@clubchampionmedia]

Check out the Callaway Forged UT Nick, also a really great driving iron and in the right loft and shaft configuration might get you dialed in nicely.

Great job lads 👍

[@peteryango7866]

Hey guys, great video as always. So my question is around my wedge gapping. My Nike covert 2.0 irons are pretty strong lofted with the set Gap wedge being around 48*. I hit that club between 125-130yds. Does it make sense for me to have another gap wedge around 52* to cover the gap between my SW and the set gap. Since they are cast iron clubs, not too many fitters around here want to mess with the lofts and lies. Ideally I realize I need a weaker lofted set given my distances, but I’m not quite financially ready for that. Would love to here your thoughts if you could find the time. By the way, in case you were wondering, I play Driver, 16* 3 wood and 20* hybrid then irons from 5-AW. Thanks for such informative videos.

[@andytaylor9665]

This channel is so informative I love it thanks guys love it Andy T UK

[@aliasErEf]

I guys ….are you real peoples? Because I never met a fitting room dressed as ‘´experts’´ like yours in the real world. Hope you moved an office in Montreal area . Excellent & good advices. Keep up your job we need you.

[@evenichols3517]

it's mind-boggling what you guys know. Wish I lived nearer!

[@mikecook8059]

Super video, love the subject. Is there a way to tell when you should use a 5 iron as compared to a 5 hybrid??

[@ccmorgan53]

I’m now confused what to do lol . I o driver , 3 wood , 3 hyb, 4 hyb , 5 iron but play fairly windy courses as coastal . Looking at 5 wood . Does it get affected to much in wind

[@eleson00]

It would be interesting to hear your view on 'flowed' sets vs MP-18 style where you build it up by yourself, and what pros and cons it gives, but for you and the customer.

[@evinkc05]

When you say too steep with driver, are you referring to attack angle or is that a plane issue. Looking for a bit of clarity there.

[@ontariodrifter6751]

Driver 240 , 4 wood 220, 7 wood 205, 9 wood 190 , 5 iron 175, 6 iron 160, 7-150, 8-140, 9-130, pw-120, 51-110, 56- 100, 60-80 I feel good about my gaps but at the same time feel the need to modify. In a fitting scenario would my currant set up at these yardages be considered good or am I missing something?

[@kennethlin]

Thanks for the vid team TXG! Looking to replace the set gap wedge with a cavity back wedge to transition easier to the SM7 54 and 58! Thanks

[@BillWeiss]

Well - I think I understand why the guy suggested the 7w instead of sticking with a 3w at a demo day...

[@enfynet]

What shaft adapters do you use for fitting? I was gonna get some club conex stuff but can’t find them anywhere.
