FOLLOWER FITTINGS // 15 Handicap Driver Fit

[@theKOOP4773]

This one has been my favourite so far. Ian shows his stuff, doesn’t just look at a right miss and give someone a draw head, he understands it at such a deeper level.

[@djmico0713]

Agreed in full. Ian, Mike, and the whole TXG team go so much deeper than just the basics which sets them apart from other fitters. I am sure most fitters we consumers would encounter would see the TSR3 being lower flight and go left and say “we fixed it, let’s move on” A select “better” fitters may take it a step further and move to the Ping but after seeing a couple good ones say “well, you’re striping it with that so all good” Ian wants to confirm after a lot of swings what will still work. This is what they mean when they say the company name changes but they’re still the same 👏🏽

[@ikaZi84]

@@djmico0713 Too bad the rest of the company still sucks at fitting.

[@ZackKennedyy]

Thanks for the opportunity boys! Can't wait to come for another visit and have the rest of my bag looked at in 2024!

[@scottyeaman8377]

#thatshammered… great work Bigman!!!!

[@ryanwalters694]

After watching the fitting, it all comes down to which ball flight you prefer. Would you rather hit the fade or the draw?

[@ZackKennedyy]

@@ryanwalters694 now that I have better control over the club face, I'll be practicing to hopefully have a stock draw come spring

[@ryanwalters694]

@@ZackKennedyy I’ve been working on an inside takeaway to eliminate my 2 way miss. Consistently hitting baby draws now. I feel more free over the tee ball and can now swing a little harder. I bought a swing speed trainer recently. Will start working with it to increase swing speed for next year

[@NYR4Life29]

@ZackKennedyy what was the new grip that changed the swing weight?

[@DaveFogel]

This guy on my sim group says he can hear the turbulators… even on the backswing.. what say you?

[@matthewshepherd826]

I've got the G430max and if I get too quick on my backswing I can hear a noise but it's more likely to be the weight port that makes the noise... but tbh I like it as it tells me to slow it down 👍

[@marcuszettergren8885]

I'd say he needs to work on his focus.

[@ElvisPriscillaPresley]

Put Vaseline on the top, it keeps it quiet.

[@MichaelMYouTube]

Higher handicap fittings are awesome. So relatable so much fun to live vicariously.

[@Radioghost717]

It’s ridiculous that Ian doesn’t just charge a fortune to teach fitters. His fitting methods should be the standard in the industry. I’ve been fit before and they are nothing like this. It seems like they are just guessing and when you hit 2 or 3 good ones they say looks like we found the one.

[@danyfilion6024]

Went to Toronto 2 weeks ago for full bag fit with Alex at Club Champion, it was great, started with the irons then the driver (also ended up with the G430) then the fairways and wedges. Hit over 200 balls over 3+hours so I was pretty tired at the end but these guys know what there doing. BTW I'm also around a 15 but without Zacks muscles😉. Can't recommend these guys enough!!!!

[@taylorleopold9040]

one of my favorite fittings so far, well done boys

[@dustinparks9916]

Awesome video, great to see how the fitting can really change the shot shape. One thing we never see though is how much the setup you fit someone into costs. is that something you would be willing to share in future videos?

[@davidhires7403]

Unbelievable!!!!!!! Such improvement. I’ve been waiting to see you fit a mid handicapper. So good! Thank you for doing this.

[@thepiratedoc4247]

Love seeing you make a big difference for an average golfer more than making a small difference for an above average golfer. Thank you!

[@bsmith4u2]

Very Excellent video. I only wish we had someone in my area of the country with your skills and patience to work with the average golfer. I've been to three fittings just recently and not one of them went into any more depth than choosing a particular club that I felt comfortable with and a couple of standard shaft choices. No one mentioned any of the parameters you've delved into with Zach here other than Launch, Carry and Ball Speed. And no one went past just a few standard shafts.

[@AB-wy7dr]

*Immediately Upon the Camera Turning Off* “Alright there Zach so that’ll be $2,899 + tax for the driver. We really recommend you PURE it, however, otherwise it won’t work, so that’ll bring you to a nice round $3,000 + tax. Shall we take cash or card?” 😃

[@golfpug]

ha!!

[@josephpavlik4026]

That was great. I've been watching for over a year. I live in Michigan. What does an average driver fitting cost? I'm about 15 handicap. 68 years old. Need more distance on driver. driver

[@superfly1187]

His pants are really restrictive for a driver fitting session right? Seems uncomfortable

[@TSOSGERBY]

Thank you for fitting a higher handicap golfer. I (being 75) would appreciate seeing a driver fitting for seniors as they are most commonly the ones with the money to be able to afford the clubs from a professional fitting.

[@darrelle.thompson540]

There's a series on that

[@journeyman291]

Not with today's inflation 😕😅

[@NewDr3w]

Ian, how can I get my dad a fitting with you specifically?? I’ve had bad luck getting him fitted so far. I don’t know a single person more deserving of the compliment “world class” than you. Case in point is this video, you did everything in your power to make sure this man was set up.

[@martyboysation]

looks like he swings very much with his weight over his toes. for me this is auto-right miss all day.

[@discr1709]

A fitter’s dream. His gamer driver was such a bad fit and build.

[@spacebound11]

Shot 80 this year. First 3 speed sessions I’m up to 129mph (not swinging at a ball). If I can somehow harness this speed with driver it could be a true weapon. This gives me some thoughts on going to get refit. Great vid gents.

[@mikebarker9910]

How do you balance the benefits of fitting a club to the swing as opposed to improving the swing …… I noticed that you said you normally ask about a client’s coaching programme so does that affect the advice you give?

[@MXJEFF94]

The G430 is not the highest ball speed beast (LS and MAX), but they are STRAIGHT and damn close on ball speed...... The TSR3 and Stealth 2 have better ball speed, but the dispersion opens up a little bit (IMO).

[@mikec.2314]

Walkin' out with 30 yards - well done lads.

[@Danny4Aarch]

Another good FF video. Would absolutely LOVE to come in and get fitted by Ian. I’ve actually never gotten a proper fitting before after golfing for 6 years.

[@kc_golf]

This video is absolutely awesome. Truly shows how important a good fitting is, even for mid / high handicaps. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kevinspradlin6288]

This was great to watch. I had a fitting at Club Champion in Las Vegas months ago. I just fitted a new shaft on my driver. My fitter, Chase Bernero really helped me maximize my currently limited speed. He fitted me into an Accra shaft and I gained 30 yards. My mishits are a slight fade. At 66 I am averaging 265 on my drives, enough to keep me playing longer courses. Now, with some training I am finding that even at my age I can gain a mile or two....I may get to 275 yet. Yes people, a well done fitting can help, if nothing else it can help you get the most out of what you have.

[@jaychu3850]

If this doesn’t prove you should ALWAYS get fit then you deserve to suffer on the course.

[@Onlyfoolsandcourses.]

Wish you gents were in UK. I still play a Titleist 909D.. would love to see if a TSR 3 would gain me some distance. 🤔

[@tko9624]

You guys are so much details in driver fitting. When I went to the club champion at Del Mar for my driver fitting, the fitter was a disappointment, to say the least. Club Champion needs to do an undercover with the Del Mar fitter.

[@rockerdude]

Is every club champion fitting like this? Love going back and forth and making small changes and going back. I had a golftec full bag fitting and it was pretty bad. Didn’t really try too many things and just seemed like they wanted me out asap

[@Putts2309]

As a golfer in just about the same category shows me how important a fitting is!! Thank you!

[@billbeil2395]

Wonderful for all of us who sincerely want to learn. Could you measure seniors with less speed? Please!!!

[@mdstrobe]

This guy is no beginner.

[@CarlosSaintPatrick]

Excellent fitting video! Fellas....I need help getting rid of the left side of the course!

[@hectorcirilo1825]

Loved this. I bought a used ping 425 max to try it out after using taylormade from Sims down to taylor made burner pus with flex twist shaft. I'm a ~8 handicap. And I love it. Using an even flow riptide 6.0 at 70 grams . I might try it a little lighter,

[@shaneelliott1263]

If this video doesn’t show importance no matter your handicap then I don’t know what does!! Good job fellas!

[@ajjamieson514]

Great video guys. As much as I love seeing elite golfers stripe the ball repeatedly, I also geek out over the numbers when an average golfer like myself ( 10 to 11 handicap ) has club tweeks made by professionals that improve ball flight especially limiting the damage on those mis hits. Top stuff.

[@bismanwn]

Watching this cost me £600😂😂

[@bob5365]

If I could get off the tee that far instead of a 14 I'd be single digits for sure. I've been struggling so bad the last few rounds I've only been using irons.

[@ronlangfus4946]

Great video with mid-handicapper. Would love to see same thing with iron fitting.

[@crisantechris]

Anyone else think this was a Shane Gillis fitting from the thumbnail? 😂

[@tristanbam3951]

Really do love to see this! Coming from a 13 Handicap... Theres hope.

[@laxduck]

Love this one - relate heavily as a fast swinger with a high handicap.

[@NoCapPinnochio]

Excellent video as always. It's amazing to see someone come in and hit the ball off the heel, toe, slice, and hook, and then actually be able to fit them into something. If this was me, I wouldn't even bother getting fitted until I got my club path and club face both to where I want it to be. Great job getting Zack into something that looks like it should help him.

[@skeeteronthewater1568]

That's something I see in comments all the time. They fit like a 5 to 8hcp and then people want to see a 18 to 20hcp and it's almost like they want to see it thinking the club will make this huge difference and make them play so much better and ultimately.....it's the swing not the club for the most part.

[@BlacknightOscar]

Very cool. His short game must be shite.😊

[@Omnis2]

What in God's name is that guy doing with a shorter than standard driver?

[@ryand4940]

Mini driver. I use one as well.

[@severfieldtv1224]

Can't lie, I thought Shane Gillis was in the thumbnail for a split second, and I got SO confused! 😂

[@severfieldtv1224]

kinda like a mix of Shane Gillis and Xander Schauffele

[@kevinconnolly754]

As a 13 hcp who played 3 wood for 3 years to stay in play more often this video is awesome for thought. Driver makes or breaks a round for me if it comes out of the bag. I pretty much know what score i'm posting with 3 wood. which is stressful knowing I could have many more birdie putts with a cooperative Driver

[@scotthansen4692]

great stuff guys. love these type of videos. Shows alot and really helps.

[@CallMeSlavik]

Incredible fitting. So thorough. Well done guys

[@Aaronfps2]

He hits it 40 yards further than me and my handicap is 7.2

[@danyfilion6024]

There is that part of the game where you don't calculate dynamic loft😉, you know when the ball never leaves the ground oh ya its called putting, I have a feeling you can roll the ball better than Zack. Short game is soooooo important!!

[@markgraham7899]

great got my Driver fit on Friday.

[@richhall4085]

Great fitting I need one like that!

[@ChasinAcesGolf-rt8do]

It was eye opening to see how you were able to reduce the amount of backspin compared to the gamer. Would love to see a fitting for a junior golfer in the future.

[@hiddenbunny7205]

The problem now is people would expect this much care and depth in their local Club Champion fitting, lol... Ian is sort of doing a false advertisement for CC

[@charitycase-jg5kh]

This was amazing to see how a great fitting can impact your game. My problem is I have a physical disability so hitting this many balls in quick time would tire me out. This year I have went from 14 to 10.9

[@Citizensofthecountry]

One of the very best on the TXG channel.

[@jasonwagner5255]

Static fitting is great! Fitting for a full swing (unless you are scratch or better is chasing something that makes no sense. Studies show that high handicap players who get “custom fitted” don’t improve. Save your money. Do a cheap static fitting. Take lessons. That’s the fastest way to improve.

[@freddyfaster4444]

So whats the exact club shaft ?

[@nickyslicky]

u guys are tying to tune someone without a consistent swing. that stuff is for fine tuning this dude needs flexibility training

[@aimeagle]

He needs consistency on striking the ball in the center of the club. The guy can clearly smash a ball but cannot hit it on the face in the same spot twice. If this guy gets that down his handi is going to drop huge unless he's a three putt specialist.

[@matthewstiglmayer2156]

I'm very undecided my g410 lst 75 stiff is still my weapon although I did just put the g430 3 hybrid in the bag and love it so looking to upgrade the 3 wood and driver

[@Daniel_a34]

Fantastic window into what you do!

[@mick19421]

Could you tell me what are the first steps you would take for a push/slicer using a standard adjustable 12 degree Driver. ?.

[@Carcich_Golf]

Would be honored to be fit by you guys. 120+ club speeds. 175+ ball speeds. 9 handicap.

[@gurjrai]

I’m calling bullshit, with that swing and at that swing speed he’s driving it almost 300. I’d wanna check those trackman setting.

[@petekenny3774]

Legends

[@jayenuu]

I’m disappointed. From the thumbnail, I thought Shane Gillis was being fitted.

[@seminolekilla]

I love this! I’m about a 15 and just got fit at club champion in Orlando. Ended up g430 max with diamana PD 60 s. Helped me not miss as far right. I had similar speed numbers as this guy. I love to see the gains.

[@alexgarcia7104]

What flex was being used for testing? I couldn’t tell if it was S or XS flex. My swing speed is around 110 and have swung both S and XS so this would be a nice reference point so I can try out some different options.

[@mattymarbs9]

What I would do to have these guys fit me I feel like my experience at club champion is like ok that’s good enough that’s $850 and let’s pure that shaft for you now it’s 1,000 I feel like these guys genuinely want this guy to be a better driver if the ball and want to really help him

[@KA-dm9lm]

This is great. I’m 44. Started playing golf 1 year ago. Pretty much same as this guy, a tad worse prob. Shoot usually mid to low 90s. Broke 90 4 times in first year. Best round 87. My driver is terrible. I just don’t have the technique yet. I’m 6-4 and fit, should be able to pump it. But typically hit like this, 205 carry, 225 total. When I catch it I may carry 240-250 and roll to 270. I have to get fit for driver. Have an off the rack thing from Dicks. Great video and I’m inspired. Great work everyone!

[@treyperry9722]

My question here is.. why not Ventus Blue 6X? With 110 club head he can definitely use X. Is it to fight the slice?

[@raventalks2776]

The blood restriction in his legs is taking 25 yards away. 😂 it’s a joke people calm down.

[@quinnmoat-moskaluke6534]

Wondering what torque spec you are using when you put a shaft into driver head? Want to make sure I’m not under/over tightening if I’m adjusting loft

[@salocke57]

Would love to see driver fitting for a 90 mph swing speed. As a 66 year old I just don’t have to faster swing speed.

[@nojoke5245]

without watching the video yet, I predict either Titleist or Ping since that's what they always fit and crap on TaylorMade and Callaway, Let's see if I'm right...

[@krusher74]

People need to know grip colour can affect weight, white grips are heavy, in the midsize he has the white is 8g heavier that the black. Its one point of swing weight for every 5g of grip weight. As Ian said this club is only C8, i would say it would be bck in "normal" driver swing weight of D2/D4 if A: he had the same grip in black and B: the shaft was not shorter than normal. Dont buy random items off the internet if you dont know how to check your choices arnt making big changes.

[@elcortinez8238]

At his club head speed around 110, I’m curious to know as to why you guy’s chose S flex shafts over X flex?

[@kswas2784]

Good stuff but I'm really surprised that the first step wasn't putting a "proper" shaft on his Epix driver head. Can you explain why not?

[@hypent500]

my game is about 89 with 11 missed 10 foot putts every round. should be a single handicap player. need to improve on my driver missed fairways also my missed green approach. make about 4 OB shots per round. really need to sharpen my game. there is alot of errors keeping me from being a scratch golfer

[@aarononeill9733]

I'm a 15hc, living in Sydney, this video was so good to watch & learn to understand how many factors are taken into account. Liked & Subscribed.

[@middle-agedmountainbiker5447]

I'd have been really interested to see if a similar end result could have been achieved with the original driver head, just changing the shaft and head settings. Did he go back and re-hit the Epic after he'd warmed up as well?

[@princevillekauainorthshore736]

Attn marketing team, next up right here 😂Would love to bring my 8HDCP to the studio. Great video.

[@jorgedelreal2929]

How did I know that your first choice was going to be a Titleist driver! 😒 I have the same type of seeing and I found that Titleist was the hardest to hit and least forgiving.

[@jtflem11]

Really enjoyed this video. How tall is Zack? That is incredible clubhead speed.

[@scottstewart3954]

I can’t believe how much u can change the shot shape just by changing shafts/heads. Not 1 single change to the swing! Mayb a fitting is what I nd to sort my driver 🤔

[@rickcudmore8156]

When I saw Zack's arms, I thought he's going to hit the ball 320 yards. That was a great sequence. I especially enjoyed how you dialed in the mishits.

[@krismarch3718]

So I went for a driver fitting at the Sarasota location while I was visiting family for Christmas and unfortunately I did not get this level of attention or detail. I was so bummed out. My fitter even said he has to leave early and that was even after they had to reschedule me due to a car problem with the other fitter. I get it. It happens but man an email would have been fantastic.

[@paulprimac]

Question for you guys. It seemed to me that he started out hitting shots for data analysis cold, without a proper warm up. Is that how you prefer to start with a client to baseline their data to get the most realistic shot data, like he just got to his round a little late for the tee time and off we go? Thanks. Oh, forgot to mention, seems a little odd to me when fitting someone for driver that is hitting a few so far right then hitting a few so far left immediately after not to address the movement off the ball that he has first to try and get more usable data no? Is that something that you might do in a fitting to get more accurate baseline data?

[@badbilly429]

Great work guys there are club fitters out there and then there is you guys, most places he went would have seen those first 2 shots with ping and ventus red and been like ok we’re don’t here that will be $1000 and have a nice day

[@andreasball4845]

Fantastic video! Very impressive. Wish I could come to Canada for a Fitting. Merry Christmas wishes from Germany!

[@shaneflynn4464]

Love this - matches me almost perfectly except for me being a lefty. Really trying to improve AoA and avoid the hooky miss which has come in since I upped swing speed(used to be a slice). More of this type of content please Ian and Mikey!!!

[@NYR4Life29]

What was the new grip that changed the swing weight? I looked and couldn't find it, sorry if it was mentioned. I also use the tour wrap 2g. Thanks great video

[@tonyfrese6903]

This guy literally has the same characteristics as me with heel strikes, swing speed, and spin. Guess I have to try this Ping G430 lol.

[@timbuma3693]

How does that Diamana GT compare to Ventus Black? GT just a little softer overall?

[@RobertFlynn-i4h]

Just need to slow this big dude up. He's be hanging onto that grip like a vice , he's an easy fix, as long as he doesn't want to be Tarzan

[@pacypacman]

why just give him stiff shafts? is it because he needs help closing the face? just curious!

[@roidAholic]

to be featured on the channel are you paying the 1200 fitting fee for Ian? genuinely curious as I'd like to book a fitting

[@stevenkur6267]

Hi what would the ideal dynamic loft be for driver with a 95mph swing speed? Love a video around this type of topic please 🙏🏻
