Being fitted by Ian is now on my bucket list. Classy as ever gents.
Same here
Been in mine for years now!
Agreed
“I feel more automatic with it”.. says the swing robot
Ian, “You gave it a good tug.” Matt, “Who doesn’t love a good tug?” 😂😂😂
DIRTYDOG aka TUGBOAT
haha that was great
TWSS
For those that want to find this interaction, 6:40
Exactly what kind of “struggles” are occurring. I’d die for this kind of consistency.
Haven’t even watched yet....know it’s, as usual, the gold standard of YT golf content by a crew of just solid dudes. Thanks TXG for what you guys do!
So excited to see Matt take to the T20's👍 Played Vokeys as far back as I can remember and never felt "Great" with them. Decided to give the T20's a try and so glad I did. They are fantastic!
Another great video boys! My friend's getting married in Toronto (not sure when with Covid) and it turns out the hotel is only 7 minutes away... might have to find some time to throw in a fitting!
I got t20 wedges earlier this year and they are hands down the best wedges I’ve had
A rainy day, a cup of coffee and this... Feels pretty nice now :)
What an amazing advantage to drill down that much. That would give anyone supreme confidence in every club in their bag.
Awesome. Love all your videos. I just wish TXG was closer to where I live. I would get fit immediately.
Excellent video demonstrating the importance and fine nuances of wedge fitting. Always a treat to watch the professor in action. Mizuno T20's are lovely wedges in both looks and feel.
I feel like I get an education every time I watch you guys.
I have learned more about my swing and my irons watching your videos. If you guys ever take down your channel I may have to go into therapy.
Don’t think that’s going to happen!! 👍👍
This has quickly become my favorite place on RUclips.
I really liked the softer turf shots at the end, and the differences in the bounce values. Great content!
I use the T20 60/10 bent by you guys to 62/12 to hit my number - and I absolutely love it - the grind on that club is also very useful with the nice toe relief if you want to get down a dig at a ball in a hole.
Not sure I've ever seen such a thorough fitting. Ian is THE MAN!! The club whisperer!!! Great stuff guys.
Love these wedges, I have 52/08 and 58/09, just lovely 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Your knowledge is fantastic and the way you put it over is brilliant .👍
This was one of the best videos to explain bounce and turf interaction. Thanks.
Greatest thing about watching TXG is the knowledge you get. Worst thing is that wallet keeps getting lighter 🤣😂🤣. Great fitting video!
Another gem guys! Every video I watch makes me want to come pay you a visit more and more.
When I ordered my t20’s, I took both grinds in the 57 (my highest lofted ) just to make sure I got the bounce and grind that suited me, and to have some options if the course gets soggy and soft
I could watch that swing all day long fantastic swing
I'm in lockdown in Melbourne so after watching this video and the other wedge fitting video, I was bored and ordered them in 50/07, bent to 55/13, 60/06 same as my old wedge specs that I've been gaming the callaway x series jaws in slate finish for 10 yrs and had 3 new sets of them. Had to let go and move onto the Mizuno T20 wedges that outclass them. The satin finish looks so good that I'm going to hate to hit them out bunkers. The shiney forged finish is amazing and the extra 4 tape wraps finish it off. Cant wait for the JPX 921 forged or JPX 921 HMP fitting.
I love that tip on bunker practice you put there at the end. Makes a lot of sense. 👍👍
Great fitting. My T20’s arrived 3 weeks ago and I love them. 54-8 and 58-12 and I just step into the shot and let them fly. Now I’m looking forward to seeing the Mizuno JPX-921’s and getting them in my bag to replace my worn out JPX-850’s. Keep up the great work. 👍
Fantastic fitting. Great swings by Matty. Really enjoyed it and learned so much. You guys are the best.
Great video chaps
Lol. Matt ended up with my exact setup. You’re gonna love ‘em DirtyDog. I’m totally hooked on mine. Also using that technique from Gareth from the earlier video, which has been a revelation.
Can’t wait to see you two do some logs on the course. Would very much like to see y’all play some real golf.
Just a high quality video! Great dialogue.
Wedge fitting without being able to hit shots off of grass have always seemed a little odd to me. Would you recommend people try to hit some of grass before they come in for a fitting?
I think you can get pretty close with wedges indoors but few have the luxury or opportunity to do wedge fittings on real greens. Sucks but that's reality for 99% of players.
I feel like for wedge fitting you need to go out on a real green and get in real rough to see how it is. Doing this isn’t the same.
My bucket list #1 is to come get a fitting from Ian. I live in Kentucky, USA
You mentioned Arccos at the beginning of the video! NO ONE talks about it on RUclips. You guys should make a video on it and share some of your data and insights from it. I use it and think it's an awesome system for understanding your game.
I just bought the system myself and I can’t wait to see how it helps me focus on the areas of my game that need improvement and allow me to make better choices out on the course
Great video. Thanks guys!
Nice work guys, great choice! Chris Voshall will love your fitting! Love the insights on your short games and the importance of it. Always good the have the right tools for the technique!
Excellent video. 👍
Awesome!! If they had a Raw lefty option I would have gotten those over Raw SM8’s
I hope matt's gonna fix all those pitch marks
Personally I could have watched an hour of that. I had the same experience with the T20s...just felt so natural and easy compared to everything else I tried. The big question for me is which finish will you be choosing for each club?
... I’d love to see more videos next spring with you two on the course to really see your games....
Watch Matt swing the club just reminds me that I'm no where near his level of golfer. Love the content!!!
Great video. Will be interesting what Matt does when the Cleveland RTX Zipcore comes out as he nailed those wedges!!!
Glad to see the fit, loft/bounce presented so clearly. I play S18, go between 56.14 61.07 and 56.10 60.10 (never thought about 60.14!!!).
T20 ftw! Rocking 50, 54 and 58. Wish it looked like that when I hit them... 😬😂
Watched this on TV and forgot to comment, I game 50 54 58 t20s, unbelievable wedges!!
Something to note, which Ian probably corrected, but the Mizuno T-20 shaft length is considerably longer in the lob wedges and becomes similar in the gap wedges. (when compared to Callaway). This was immediately evident to me because Im taller and enjoy the Mizuno stock length in the lob. Callaway a bit short in the lob. The difference is 1/4" to 3/8".
Absolutely fascinating.
This was a really good one.
For all the love you gave the glide 3.0 I’m surprised that was not in the video. I just got 4 of the glide 3.0 45/50/56/60
Insane, every shot Matt made with the Mizuno felt like there was a chance to hole one!
"Who doesn't love a tug?"
-Matt Blois 2020
Had never used a Mizuno wedge until a fitting last year and end up with a set of S18’s, they’ve been amazing and seriously helped my short game. I feel like Mizuno don’t get enough credit compared to some of the bigger boys when it comes to wedges 👌 they seem to be killing it in all areas at the moment, ST200, MP-20, T-20
You guys should go on a fitting tour .. to Aust and UK at least .. a month in each country.. just setting the Gold Standard.. love your work, wish you were here
Hi guys your channel is so good and thanks for all the work you do. I play off 13 hcp and going to try Titleist t irons. Off 13 what would try first. I live in France.
T200
Many years ago...20?, I went to a golf school run by Paul Thomas aka PT, Justin Thomas’s grandpa. He’s pretty old school about short game shots, with everything from a 6 iron to lob wedge in play. He liked the way you developed creativity and touch using lower lofted irons. The funny thing though, the pros who worked for him were wedge only guys from the Phil Mickelson school. The number of wedges those guys hit during their own practice was astounding..they’d go through those giant range buckets hitting shots just like Matt. My back hurts when I think about it. PT is retired and happy, enjoying non stop Golf Channel and Justin’s success.
I've gone from a 10 handicap to near scratch in the last 18 months and 90% of the improvement has come from a decision to almost entirely refocus my practice time to pitching the ball from 10 to 50 yards. Before I was 90% range time and 10% pitching & chipping, now it is 70% pitching and 30% (Driver, 6 iron, Gap wedge for specific distances (120, 100, 80)). The focus on pitching starts to focus your awareness of all the different types of lies you can have, the amount of grass around the ball, the direction the grass is growing and then through trial and error of technique and club gives to goto shots and clubs for the 100s of different types of shots required that you would only in the past have guessed at without having practiced 100s of times each. Once you have 50 to 100,000 practice pitches under your belt do you only then appreciate that there is more complexity to pitching in and of itself than the rest of the golf game put together. Have a goto Drive off the tee (likely a fade), work on your 6 iron mechanics so you know what you do and how to fix it when it goes wrong, have very specific distances (120, 100, 80, 60) that you can hit consistently, and then focus all the rest of your time on learning how to pitch from every kind of lie imaginable with your 56 & 60 (or similar). I resisted doing this for years because it was fun to hit buckets of balls - now I realize I was an idiot and I missed learning what is required to break Par a long time ago.
Opinions about playing different wedges (i.e. Mizuno at gap/Callaway as sand wedge) in the bag or would you typically recommend consistency there if possible?
This is so good! You don’t get this kind of content anywhere but TXG!!
Just curious why Matt didn’t consider the T100 GW. That’s one of if not the best looking set gap wedge there is.
Generally I find to be a bit more consistent on distance control with a specialty wedge, and i like to chip with it at times also
Chris from mizuno will be stoked. 😇
I was set to replace my illegal spin miller Vokey wedges for SM8, but you sure give a fellow something to think about. Also, Matt is a bloody robot!
Love your videos. You turned me from a 25 handicap to a 15 handicap by teaching me the importance of golf equipment.Really bad for my wallet though😂😂
So ready for this
Chris Voshall will be a happy chappy!
These wedges are an underdog for me. Vokeys always give a meh feeling but performed well. 'Consistent' spin is more important than having the 'most' spin, at least for me. I can always count on these going the yardage I expect. Hopefully this video keeps people from ignoring the T20 wedges, especially considering they cost less with a top notch shaft to boot.
Just curious why the Cleveland RTX 4’s weren’t even in the mix? Matt really seemed to hit them well in testing.
My guess is that the new Cleveland wedges will be coming out soon and he doesn’t want an old model in the bag.
Timothy Buma ahh fair enough. Thinking back on it I also think I remember him saying the spin was a little inconsistent for him.
Man I love these videos, great stuff guys
good fitting - you also could've considered low bounce on LW and high bounce on SW to accommodate the different turfs
Mizuno wedges have been getting sneaky good over time, T20’s are definitely on my list for wedge replacements!
I have a set of T20's. I adore them, absolutely beautiful wedges.
Same here as me, I love the shaping of the lower lofted clubs, blends with my MP20's beautifully.
I just have to get them worked on becuase I didn't actually get fitted for them and they accidentally came with the same shaft in my irons which wasn't actually what was specced for me (just left it because I thought I'd give it a try).
No one ever seems to talk about Cobra wedges. I think they're as good as any others out there. I've tried Titleist, callaway, mizuno, clevelands, but always default back to the Cobra's for consistency for feel and spin.
Mizuno S18’s in my bag for last year or so... I need to try the T series next. Great job Gents!
Great stuff as usual. The T20's are really nice wedges...
My wife said “you should get fitted with those guys” - we’re in Scotland lol
T100 makes a gw
Its awesome too. Love mine. Built in forgiveness of the T100 but the top line is so thin like a regular wedge.
Yes have one coming but thinking of Mizuno 55 61
Good to see another lefty go with the T20. They blend with the MP20 so perfectly. They are such a great feeling and performance wedge. I have my second matching set of wedges based on your advice. T20 50,54,60 in C Grind with Modus 125 Wedge. Would you consider going with a higher bounce set for softer conditions as we're going into winter down here?
Another great video boys...Ian...bold shirt choice...draws your eyes to the nipple region..subliminal advertising for the Nippon shafts😂
Guys, distance is not a problem for you. Iron lofts have got stronger including wedges, have you thought about sacrificing a long club and altering your gapping to enable you to play more wedges ie PW at say 46 degrees, a 52, a 58 with plenty of bounce and a 64.....and then using the Dave Pelz system of 3 swing lengths to generate 12 reproducible wedge distances...?
Matt uses the traditional lofted Titleist T100 irons - the PW is 46 degrees - it was the first club he hit to start the gapping session at 140 yards. Ian then fit for 50, 55 & 61 to hit Matt's yardage numbers - so he does have 4 wedges. Matt used 46/50/54/58 last year but wants more loft and flexibility for shorter distances - thus 46/50/55/61 this year.
That was sick! On autopilot from the first shot.
just got an ATV 64 from taylormade with a Hi-Rev 120. couldn't be happier. it feels like I'm cheating with how easy it is for me to hit every shot I want to and how much spin I can impart. I have a pretty clean TP MB 60 and I feel I spin the HiToe more. crazy.
“You dirty dawg”
Great video lads. Matty-boy, your wedge handicap will be low single digits very soon! Side note, fitting wedges solely indoors can’t be recommended. At least you mixed up the turf, but I want to try in bunkers, deep rough, open face, watch the trajectory, watch the spin. GCQuad is great for making RUclips content, but surely you would wanna get fit on course?
My issue is that day to day I'm a different golfer. I have a 3 tier chipping net, and with my current 61 degree, some days I can't miss a shot, and others I can't make a shot. I can change my swing on a whim to try and make a change rather than trying 100 wedges and going with the best one on that day.
Great video as always..... What finish option are you going with? I know it's not Blue Ion so Raw or Chrome ??
Chrome
@@clubchampionmedia I thought you would go Raw..... Any particular reason ?
Are you planning to publishing another course-vlog soon? That would be awesome!
this has got me thinking i need to get in for a wedge fitting. will get reaching out
Brilliant video, as always. Matt had the ball on a rope with those T20’s. Did you use particular grinds (S, M or C) or were they all standard? Looking forward to the WITB.
Wow nice striking
How do you get to that data table of spin for all shots and averages? Is it a separate program that I need to download? I have fsx2020 but can’t figure it out
Table - tab is at the top of the screen when in improve mode
great fitting video for Matty boy 😎
Great video...I also feel like I switch from low to high bounce wedges. I currently have a 60 with 10 degrees of bounce and hitting it great.
Would love to see at the end of these fitting videos an order sheet or fit sheet showing the final specs, grips, tape, length, loft, lie, bounce etc!
Follow @miketxg on Instagram he’ll do exactly that for the build once they’re in
@@clubchampionmedia lads question for you, im getting jpx919 fitting in a few weeks, proper fitting with real balls. My setup will be 6-pw plus the jpx919 gw 50*. I was thinking of getting the jpx919 sw 55* and lw 60*. Are you doing many of those wedges on your fittings ? My fitter is brand agnostic and its not a money thing, i was just hoping the optics will flow better from the main set, same look, grips and possibly graphite shafts if they suit. Question is are you seeing a lot of jpx players go.with them. Love the videos as always
great choice, I love my mizuno S5's, I tried the T7's at the time but was more consistent with them. Clearly a need an update
Great content as ever. Great to see the Mizuno’s featuring in the wedges as a lot of content makers don’t seem to deviate from Vokey’s. (Which are obv good clubs too)
I have S18s, fitted aboot 18 months ago so need to consider a new fit for the T20 or maybe the RTx4 which really suit my eye.
I just picked up an Cleveland RTX 4 50° and I'm considering getting the 54° and 58°. The black looks really nice and they're like $95.
Awesome stuff. Any reason in particular you didn’t test the 50/55 bounces between hard/soft turf?
Wedgucation. Thanks gents.
My next house is going to be a golf fitting centre with a kitchenette and bed sitter. Oh, shower and dunny as well. My perfect home.
TXG if we were to come up for a wedge fitting. could you combine an indoor and then and outdoor fitting?? Myself would love to get some out in the rough, sand, etc.. This is where i am having a horrendous time trusting a wedge "fitting" when we cant even take the wedges where they belong..
