Love that the flop shot to 3ft is in the outtakes portion at the end…”I can get over that quickly” is exactly how I feel when a club looks or feels odd but keeps showing me it’s here to play. Great video, guys
Just stumbled upon your channel earlier tonight; subscribed and officially hooked on the content. I probably should do the dishes, but can’t stop watching.
i was once told by a scratch golfer years ago that you get fitted for clubs the same way you test a ball...... from the green backwards and since then thats how i do it, 1.putter, 2.wedges, 3. irons and so on. great vid guys as allways, counting down till the new pod season #lglg
WHAT?! I've been listening to the podcast and was flabbergasted and almost teared up at the end of season 1 when it was revealed to me that there was a season 2! I am now on season 3 but JUST DISCOVERED TODAY that this RUclips channel exists. Gosh I feel like such a nerd. So excited to watch the videos you guys have posted thus far. And looks like a lot more activity in recent months which is incredibly exciting!
Honestly hour. I’ve been toying with the idea of a wedge fitting for a bit. Love my SM8s that I bought a year and a half ago and really didn’t feel the need to switch. Watched this video this morning, 4 hours later, booked in with my Titleist rep that fit my irons, driver and 3w. See you next Friday, C’Mon Phil!
Chasing Scratch has been awesome to follow over the last number of years. I identify so much with the golf struggles you have both shared on the podcast but, I feel like the wedge/shortgame area is where I have learned the most from listening. I have been making similar changes to you both on wedge play and noticed some gapping issues and bounce problems with my current wedges because of that. A fitting would be a god send. I would love to see some of that new groove sauce that was displayed in the video, making me jealous!
LGLG, it is indeed incredible what new grooves and correct bounce and grind can do to performance. Play SM8s after almost 8 years without new wedges, difference was immediate. Cant wait to see what SM9s can do....
Funny enough, I'm backwards on fit priority: I'm a Putter, Wedge, Irons / Hybrid, Woods person. Lots of strokes go down the drain around the green. Importance-wise, I truly believe putters & wedges should be super high priority, as that's where the majority of shots are taken from & putters are hugely undervalued on fit; I gamed a 2-ball putter for years & just got fit on Quintic & realized I aim way right with it + the swingweight was too light. Found a perfect putter & now I'm putting better than ever & that's the most strokes with a single club anyways. I can say the same for getting proper grinds & bounce for wedges, especially if you're in conditions that dictate more/less bounce OR swing tendancies work against the bounce you play.
I was definately on the side thinking new grooves were blown out of proportion. I've been turned, but I now need new wedges. Thanks fellas. #LGLG #saucy
Great video! I've never thought of getting a wedge fitting, but that would be awesome! I started listening to you guys when you were in your second season (I started with the 1st season) when I got recommended by a friend and have been following along since! Keep up the great work!
I got fit for new Vokey sm8's that felt great in September. Fast forward the release of the sm9's and i still hadn't received my wedges. I canceled my order and pre-ordered the sm9's instead. Now Titleist is telling me I'll have them May.... maybe I shoulda just settled for Callaway Jaws. Excellent product but the current backlog boggles my mind.
Been using the SM 6 for a while and recently got fitted with SM9, 48/52/58 degree wedges.Even though i had just had 2 rounds with these new wedges, they are absolutely fantastic. I am able to pitch/chip my shots much more accurately. It's only going to get better as i get use to the distance and feel of these wedges. These wedges are going to lower my score. Never thought that wedge fitting would benefit my game so much. Thanks Andrew Rogers from Titleist Singapore for the fantastic fitting session.
Great video. Really hits home as I’m in the process of setting up a wedge fitting. Tried to schedule one at Titleists Manchester Lane facility but they are booked out for the year. I think it’s time to replace my SM4 60. Degree circa 2012 😅. Maybe I’ll wait a couple weeks in case I get picked for the free fitting 😉. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I had the same view for wedge fittings - nice but maybe not necessary. New wedges were on my list for this year. Will definitely get fitted after seeing this video.
got fitted for wedges in the back yard of my old high school during COVID when everything was closed and worked well for a while (friend is incredible with fittings and a certified club fitter)...a year later i went to get fitted with use of a trackman and got fitted again (semi-properly lol) and got SM8s and they are incredible. I will refuse fittings if its not on a trackman, but after seeing this, I might have to book a fitting with Titleist so I can get fitted like this with different lies and around the green. Can't wait for season 5! #LGLG
Absolutely shocking that Eli was fit into a 58* 12 D grind as a "sweeper" of the golf ball, because Vokey says himself on the Titleist website that the D Grind is for steeper attack angles and the M is the equivalent, but for shallow sweepers. So this is an odd setup. Pretty crazy.
My mate and I have always created fictional battles and the mutual battlegrounds were always ‘a degree of mud/water’ that makes it the most fair for the competitors. For example: 8 spider monkeys vs 1 warthog in an 85% mud to water ratio pit. Who wins? Another example would be: Clive Owen and Steffi Graf vs a 5 piranhas in 97% water that’s 4 foot deep However, I would love to sincerely test out a new battle. One which would be a personal battle I could legitimately test: a used titleist AVX ball vs me with a vokey SM9 60 degree wedge in 98% mud to water ratio from 60 meters. Love your work.
Chris Adolph 1 second ago Great video I am Taylormade through and through but after watching this And listening to every episode I’m now looking into these wedges #LGLG
I’m the guy who got hosed last year on his SM8 order through a 3rd party vendor. You guys were nice enough to to try to help but ended up having to cancel. This would be epic ending!
This was great content. Looking forward to video where you guys get fit for new gloves. Been wondering if I've been playing the wrong Velcro pattern on the strap. 😁
So you're saying my 2nd hand wedges with relatively random lofts, bounces and grinds are negatively affecting my wedge game? Could use the free fitting.., looks fire
“Saucy” as always… if you didn’t think wedge fittings were a good thing before, this should do the trick. Kudos to Eli for keeping the hitting area pristine #Earthy
Always one of my favorites line of any fitting - “Oh gosh, that was awful.” Fitter - “It’s ok, it’s ok.” 😂 go get em this year boys. Cue the overly confident OFP music. LGLG

LGLG would be amazing to rock some SM9s! Kudos to craigers, can’t wait to hit some peppered 💀 wedges into the backyards at my local muni course. LGLG
Thanks for keeping me awake while driving through North Carolina and South Carolina this weekend guys. Keep up the amazing work.
Jayson would have words about the angles on these videos. Great job boys!
Just wish these wedge fittings were more widely available... Still a case of the best guess for most amateurs - Still cant usually test wedges at all
i was once told by a scratch golfer years ago that you get fitted for clubs the same way you test a ball...... from the green backwards and since then thats how i do it, 1.putter, 2.wedges, 3. irons and so on. great vid guys as allways, counting down till the new pod season #lglg
I just started listening to the podcast a couple days ago and I love it

I loved listening to your special on bounce (last season?) . Taught me so much and just shows how little the average golfer knows!!! LGLG!
Great content fellas. It’s so true, the grooves are so important. Never been for a wedge fitting, but I can’t wait to go now!
Mmmmmmmm! Nice wedge play boys. Excited to catch more videos this year!
Honestly hour.

Watched this video this morning, 4 hours later, booked in with my Titleist rep that fit my irons, driver and 3w. See you next Friday, C’Mon Phil!
I'm glad to see you got a fitting where there wasn't a monsoon. Great video guys and thanks for sharing!
As always amazing what you can learn from a quality fitting/fitter

Just got a wedge fitting at Club Champion. Truly eye opening. Went with the SM-9’s and just waiting on delivery this week.
Just watched the first Adam Scott episode, went out and break 90 for the first time right after hearing it!
LGLG, it is indeed incredible what new grooves and correct bounce and grind can do to performance. Play SM8s after almost 8 years without new wedges, difference was immediate. Cant wait to see what SM9s can do....
SM9 has a Higher Center of Gravity than SM8, this is to LOWER the Launch Angle and INCREASE the Spin of the Same Wedge in SM8 compared to the SM9.
What a great episode guys. I would love a fitting with wedges with that much attention to detail in all aspects of the wedge game, awesome👏👌 LGLG

Brilliant! Great insights throughout. Rethinking my wedge purchase last year and considering that I might need to go the fitting/Vokey route. Dammit!
Glad the fitting went well! I’m rocking some old SM4s and going to upgrade this year
I need some wedge bad. Glad the fitting changed your thinking.
This is such a good video! Great work guys!
Awesome video. Kudos to you John, and kudos to you Craigers
This makes me want to go get fit for some wedges
Great video! I've never thought of getting a wedge fitting, but that would be awesome!

Freakin' lost it at "he has an upward attack angle with his glove", quality stuff gents
its the positiin of his velcro remember 😅
It’s 11:30pm and all I can think about is how I’m going to integrate some new wedges in my bag soon 😂 kudos to y’all for that
My driver attack angle is very jealous of Eli’s wedge attack angle #steep

Very informative! I actually have a wedge fitting scheduled in a couple months, really looking forward to it
I need a new set of wedges! Never had a proper fitting and sounds incredible.
BRB gonna schedule a wedge fitting. Realizing now that I never understood the effects of bounce.
That’s awesome I’m getting fitted for wedges from titleist tomorrow this just reaffirms it
Great video. Really hits home as I’m in the process of setting up a wedge fitting. Tried to schedule one at Titleists Manchester Lane facility but they are booked out for the year.

Eli looking slim! Love your content guys, the best podcast in the world. Some on random course video through the year would be awesome!
"Anyone can spin." So, you're saying there's a chance?! Great video guys
How have I never noticed the guitar behind Eli before? What’s his go-to song to play? Besides ‘Hallelujah’ when he’s thinking about Adam.
Hi guys been listening to your pod cast I’m on episode three at the minute Christmas special love the podcast
Excellent video, shows how you can’t just go on the online fitting selector either as there’s no way you’d have ended up with all the wedges you did
Really need this fitting, guys. I’m hoping the SM9s have grooves on the hosel.
Great video! I had the same view for wedge fittings - nice but maybe not necessary. New wedges were on my list for this year. Will definitely get fitted after seeing this video.
The guys are looking primed for a run at scratch. Can’t wait to see what this season has in store. Best of luck fellas! #LGLG #Believe

The angle of your glove velcro at the backswing to downswing transition looked in tip top shape.. for most of these shots..
Kudos to you guys, and kudos to Titleist the number one brand in golf.
Great Video! LGLG! Looks like I gotta start figuring out the integration on this one…
My mate and I have always created fictional battles and the mutual battlegrounds were always ‘a degree of mud/water’ that makes it the most fair for the competitors. For example: 8 spider monkeys vs 1 warthog in an 85% mud to water ratio pit. Who wins?

Love your work.
Eli looking in great shape! Kudos to you Eli... and Kudos to Craigers
I've played Cleveland wedges for 25 years. A free fitting might convert me! 😁
Good stuff fellas!! Been rocking same wedges since high school - may be time for an upgrade! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
LGLG. Love you guys. Philipshead.
Seeing y’all’s videos makes my day every time! Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to win some wedges. Either way, keep up the good work, y’all are hilarious!
Let the blood flow through the fingers 😂 I need to see John the Fitterman for some fresh weapons!!! Great video!

Great video
I am Taylormade through and through but after watching this And listening to every episode I’m now looking into these wedges #LGLG
Great work as always gents. Always appreciate the content. LGLG
Need to do this fitting yesterday! Amazing content.
MMMMMM wedge fitting sounds like so much fun...
I’m the guy who got hosed last year on his SM8 order through a 3rd party vendor. You guys were nice enough to to try to help but ended up having to cancel. This would be epic ending!
Arguably quite impressive to get a ball on the green with my starter set sandwedge and craigerslist 50* with special $H!T grind
Great video! Need new wedges!
This is the year. I predict both of you shoot under par before the LSR. LGLG
Gents I’m catching up still in season 3 and have to say the Yo Yo guy.. genius. Top 5 funniest things I’ve ever seen
Kudos to You, kudos to John and kudos to Craigers
Fingers crossed I can get a set of these vokeys and be just like Tiger.
#forehandlob and #bigearthguy are my favorite takeaways…another great video gents
Already sent to all my buds. LGLG!!!!
Love the videos. Hope to see more video stuff throughout the season!
Good start! Love the white hats...
This was great content. Looking forward to video where you guys get fit for new gloves. Been wondering if I've been playing the wrong Velcro pattern on the strap. 😁
It’s like a whole different golf science. Had no idea this much went into wedges
Congratulations for your amazing work!!
Can’t wait for new season of the pod!
This is the year boys. Eli looks like he’s been running 9 miles a day. I just feel sorry for Broman. I know he misses you. Let’s go let’s go.
Awesome stuff. Might need to go get fitted myself. LGLG
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Trying to recall the feeling of that perfect bounce angle
I'm glad to hear you don't have to take a divot to be a proficient wedge player. Maybe I just need 3 new magic wands. #harry potter
Great way to describe wedge fitting in the beginning... doesn't seem that big of a deal. How much did the grind help with spin?
Dream day for me: wedges and good golf advices.
Do they do custom stampings of superior animals? AKA the shark
Great video! Is the fitting competition US / North America only? Say it isn't so!
So you're saying my 2nd hand wedges with relatively random lofts, bounces and grinds are negatively affecting my wedge game? Could use the free fitting.., looks fire
Awesome content as usual. Looking forward to the upcoming season
“Saucy” as always… if you didn’t think wedge fittings were a good thing before, this should do the trick. Kudos to Eli for keeping the hitting area pristine #Earthy
Congrats on all the success. Are you guys going to change the name of the podcast to "Maintaining Scratch" next year? LGLG
Awesome episode guys. Kudos to you both. This motivates me to get fitted. #LGLG
Would love to know the final fitting specs! Keep up the good work, #lglg
For a more satisfying fitting experience, they should let you take the plastic off the wedges before hitting them.
The new Stallion Mountain 9s look legit!
Definitely will need a new wedge set after learning how important bounce is lol.
Can you buy these with Urethreum?
Fortune favors the brave
Always one of my favorites line of any fitting - “Oh gosh, that was awful.” Fitter - “It’s ok, it’s ok.” 😂 go get em this year boys. Cue the overly confident OFP music. LGLG
See you in Austin! #LGLG
Your boy could really use this!!
"With a wedge, tempo is everything. It's a Ryan shot." Ryan is life. Yeah I said it.
