I’m 6’4” I’ve been playing for about a year and I’m having a hard time getting center contact with my driver. (Ping G425) how much can I shorten my shaft considering my hight?

Great info. I love this stuff making my adjustments myself.

Great video. Keep posting more videos

So if you are a senior in your 70s and you have a normal swing speed for your age how do you determine what weight is best? I will assume a soft senior flex is best to get ultimate height on your shots?

Would definitely enjoy seeing fitting process

both off the tee and the fairway, I love my Ai Smoke 7 Wood and my Ai Smoke 4H.

Would the Mizuno DNA swing analyser be a good place to start to look for a shaft that’s suitable?

Interesting video. You’ve earned a new subscriber. I am a little baffled by initial weight positions causing a small fade and final result was adding a touch more weight to the toe? I would have thought the result would have increased the fade. Glad you got it sorted out!

Ok, explain to me why a heavier shaft 80g S gives me the best results? Swing Speed is 98-101 Ball speed 142-147mph Carry varies on conditions generally 224-239 Age 65 Hdcp 2

I see quite a few discussions about blending iron heads but have never come across anyone talking about blending shafts in a single set of irons. My set is the TM RSi TP, a forged compact CB design from 2016 with traditional lofts PW 48°, 7i 34°. Over the years and aging (66yo now) I've replaced the shafts starting with lighter shafts on long irons moving to mid and short irons as I go along. Right now PW-7i are on KBS tour light stiff (steel 99g), 6 & 5 irons on UST Mamiya Recoil stiff (graphite 80g) and the longest iron 4 on Fujikura Vista Pro regular (graphite 70g). The 4i head has also been replaced with a TM RAC-OS from 2002 that matches 23° loft with the original head. Swingweight remains constant at D2 throughout. Of course it felt different at first but didn't take long to adjust and it works for me.

Not sure if I should be using shorter clubs. I was hitting good straight shots with my new standard lengths irons but I can’t tell if I should get shorter irons and that would help me hit balls further, not sure if I am extending early, I took a video but idk what a normal extension looks like

You should never be playing 6.5 shaft in the first place!

Do you think its best to get fit for driver at cruising speed rather than full speed ? I got fitted recently and they wanted to fit to my full speed swings. I get the feeling they wanted to sell me extra distance. I swing at 115mph on my GC3 but on course im no higher than 110 especially now its freezing in the UK. In the fitting if i hit at my cruising speed the spin dropped to low for what i like. Maybe just a bad fitting experience?

Any suggestion on a small stance mat?

Wrist to floor is bogus

Really great points

They all talk about the tape the grip the solvent...... nobody talks about how to square the club face..... your orange frame square is brilliant....well done and thank you

What about one length irons? Do you recommend them?

Im playing 9 ° driver qi10, with ventus black 6x ss 105+ mph. Still slice it, down or up in shaft weight ?

Hater keyboard warriors at its best, just laugh these hacks off and keep doing your thing brother! Keep up your great content brother!

I love the mention of that it’s not universal advice. Was in my courses fitting room on my lunch break and found I love how the 5-S Tour AD HD feels vs My hazrdus green 6.5 70 gram. Even at 118 swing speed the best way I can explain why I liked it more was the HD let me know how I needed to swing it and when to release. Where the green needed me to force it to work for me

Are you in Texas?

Just found your channel John. Very informative! I wish I found you a couple years ago when I bought a Cobra F9 with an Atmos ATMOS Tour Spec Black 7 shaft in a stiff flex. Unfortunately, As I approach 70 yrs old, my swing speed is between 85-90. My average drives are 210-220, But my contact has been migrating toward the heel which drops me another 10 yds or so. On the rare occasion I hit it on the button, I can go 230-240+ depending on conditions. So, I'm pretty sure I have a shaft (timing device) that is most likely not working for me. Could I ask you for a shaft suggestion? I live over an hour away from getting fitted and it's going to be one of those situations where they're going to try and put me in a $1000 club. My swing has good tempo with a smooth to average transition, applying the power as late as possible. My natural ball flight is a slight draw and my misses are a push or push fade. I can also hit a straight ball that draws too much if I'm not paying attention. My clubhead is a 9* but it's set at neutral 10.5* Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What part of the country is this accent

If you got melted a qi10 that is already close to the moi uses limit does that put it out of compliance?

Where are you located?

I always choked down on my putter. When I bought a new putter, I ordered a 33” putter. So much better for me. 👍

I’m 71, 9.4 hc, still hitting 8 iron 145+. However, ever since I started playing graphit some years ago my baby draw has turned into a flip hook, now using esx 460 f3. I’ve recently been fit into new zx7 with 95 gram steel ns pro 950gh. They’re a little heavy and I’ve lost some distance but also lost the getaway hook. Maybe 75 gram graphite would get some distance back? Your thoughts appreciated. Thx!

Is this better than Carl’s divot insert?

As senior scratch,both hips replaced posture is more upright,using a 1 plane smooth swing added .5 inch to irons cured the thin shot out to in standup on downswing . posture is important with hip limit and balance post replacement

Is he using regular or stiff shaft?

Thanks for this video. With full shots, my 48* Cleveland CBX (steel shaft 115g) goes consistently 5-10 yards longer than my 48* Callaway Ai200 (graphite shaft 75 g regular). Is this due to shaft or club head? Employing the same swing. What do you think?

titleist 775CB from 2008....

Great job

Are all golf fitters fairly comparable? I’d like to get a fitting and would present the information you addressed if I find someone in my area. Where are you located?

Love this video and love the insight. Looking into a possible career and own venture into something like this. Through previous comments I see that trackman university and just diving in feet first are the biggest tips. However, are there any classes (I.e. certificates and such) that can maybe aid your entry into that kind of career? If there are any, what would be the first certifications that you would go after just starting out?

I am wondering, can't you just choke up?

Great video! I did not have the best fitting experience

Great video. Going for a wedge fitting this week and will definitely ask about this!

Great video, what do you suggest for standing on?

you stand pretty far away from the ball, is that why you're hooking? clubs too long for ya? you don't look to be too tall.

Excellent presentation!!!

Where can I get a fitter like you in my area? Los Angeles California

My oldest club is my putter a half mallet putter over 35yrs old with a new face insert. 12 handicap here and would not upgrade my putter to a newer one.

Great video. I have a quick transition and a lot of hand speed but with an xstiff shaft I don’t get enough spin. I tried a Venus red today and it felt easier to time and the ball flight was better even giving me a slight fade that I’m eager to see.

Did not mention lie angle which can be adjusted without changing length of shaft.

I’m 6”3 and weigh 342 pounds and I swing the driver around 100-105mph and I have the kbs tour lite 100S shafts in my 2021 P790 irons and as I’ve got facet joint arthrosis(arthritis in the spine) plus 2 bludging discs(L4&L5) plus arthritis in my right knee,when I can get the money together I would like to make the switch to graphite shafts in my irons and wedges and have been looking at the Mitsubishi MMT taper 95 & 105 plus the TENSEI AV White AM(2) Iron shafts in 100 gram stiff flex and was wondering what ones you would recommend for me to try,I tend to hit the ball too high at times and both shafts would be a good fit I think as I want to stay around the 100gram mark for proper gapping with the weights of my other clubs

Which club are you using to begin your fitting ( 7 iron)

I play all of my woods 0.5” short. With irons currently I struggle with toe misses and overdrawing the ball. I have wanted to cut my irons down -.05” to see if I can get more over the ball.

What about shaft stiffness, when most people shorten the shaft they cut away at the handle, but to me that means taking away the stiffness, and if you cut away the tip , that would make the shaft stiffer ... wrong or right. my Club Pro says the opposite. Who is right?
