Grant, for someone who has been playing golf for 10 years, you have an extraordinary gift for understanding the golf swing and the golf equipment fitting process. I enjoy watching your videos as I always find nuggets of information that help me understand the golf swing better each and every time. Keep up the great work. 👍
You gotta look though…. Grant has hit the equivalent of golf balls of someone who has played casually for 50 years. It’s his profession, his pass time, and basically his life. That’s A LOT of experience crammed into 10 years.
Not to mention , his dad is a golf pro ? I'm sure he's learned tons from his dad .
@@bartgarrett7710 Yes he gets lessons from his dad still.
Personally, I'm still making major changes with my swing and don't feel ready yet to get fitted. The goal for this season is to get consistent. I fortunately live in Toronto and TXG is close to me. Those guys are some of the best fitters on the planet.
Lucky man!
Yes I worked on my swing until I thought I was going crazy because every swing felt the same but results varied. I got fit for the jpx921 and it boosted my confidence to know my clubs were holding me back. Mizuno needs to send me my clubs now
I've been playying golf regularly for 8-10 years. I have a pretty straight putting stroke (and often stroke it quite well) but I had NO IDEA there are toe hang putters! Makes so much sense why I can't hole a putt to save my life with a rented set. Brilliant, thanks Grant!
I had a 3 hr fitting session. Tried every club under the sun and shafts. Nothing gave better numbers then blades for me. Off a 13 handicap I was a bit scared buying blades but I have always striked the ball well as I had a net at home. As long as you stick to it you will be fine.
Just got fitted for my driver. Great video!love them all. Just started almost a yr ago. I’m obsessed lol. I live in the kc area and I just missed y’all in Bonner springs. Would love to get a lesson sometime.
This is literally the best timing for a video ever. Thank you
How do you get a repeatable golf swing for fitting if you are a complete beginner?
This is what I want to know. I'm coming back to golf after 10+ years and my swing is a mess. What do I buy to start "finding my swing"?
Great video grant. I’m getting fitted Tuesday. Thinking the Taylormade p790s. I’ve been using super old Taylormade Rocketballz out of a box and a m2 driver that has the wrong shaft and grip. All of my clubs don’t feel like they fit me at all, especially the grips.
Ur not gonna get those for a good 6-9 months. Taylor made factories are running behind because of covid
Awesome info on the putter with toe hang…I never knew that’s an arc swing…totally makes sense. Thank you my dude!
A couple of things. As a beginner, I think going through the whole fitting, new club process would be excessive. I would suggest a trip to a store for sure. You can get an idea of what you need there. The store people will help you. For lie angle, they can give you a pretty fair idea based on the distance from your wrist to the floor. Then you can pick up cheaper used clubs with the correct specs. And a regular shaft should be sufficient to start with unless you are very athletic and have more muscles than I do. lol
Take the savings on the used clubs and get a few lessons right away. Get your grip right. Learn how to properly sequence your swing. And give it a little time. Once you're hooked, and you will be, then go get yourself a proper full fitting. And more lessons.
The other thing was a question for you Grant or maybe your dad. I didn't grow up playing golf. I played one game at 15 and never picked up a club again until I was 30. That was 3 decades ago and I've never put them down since. I never was smart enough to go take a lesson. I was beating my buddies, striping my driver and had no problem sending the ball about 140 with a pw and as much as 320 with a driver counting roll out on flat Florida terrain. And here's the thing, My swing is better today than it ever was as a kid. I've lost a bit of distance anyway, but it's not from age yet I don't think. One of those lessons I took changed my grip from super strong to neutral and now my 1 degree upright, regular shafted Calloway X Black irons fly too high. I have to give it my all to reach 120 with a pw and I also have to warn NORAD before hitting the thing. Way too high of flight. I can work on getting my hands farther forward. Go back to hitting a draw. I know how. But I wonder that since my ball striking is so much better based on my descriptions to you or your dad think I would benefit from reshafting from a regular flex to a stiff. I always before needed help getting the ball in the air. I really don't today and I'm wondering if my needs have changed just over better ball first contact. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I play midsize grips, with a small glove. Fingers touch my palm barely, but dont overlap. If i go any bigger in the grip, cant get club square. I did standard +4 and midsize +4. Midsize felt the best and slipped the least in my hand
I first started playing on my grandpa's jack nicklaus blades and loved hitting them from 9 to 3 iron. I switched to taylormade rsi 1s for a more modern feel but still love those clubs as a starter.
Thank you for the tips didn’t really think of it maybe that’s why some times teeing off my hands slip and I miss hit when hitting the ball? I don’t know… is it?
I had a fitting for the 223 last week. It’s a very nice feeling club. It’s tough dealing with the delays for custom clubs now days. About 4 months is the norm due to the lack of components.
I would say that if you're looking to just get out and have fun, thicker clubs are better for beginners, but the feedback of blades can really help ball-striking. I bought a set of MacGregor MCX blades (3-10 lol) from a thrift store for $2 a club for my first (and only so far) set. I've improved a ton and am starting to budget for a fitting and I'm excited to think of the improvement I'll see with more forgiving set having trained on blades. And of course, you don't usually get better by playing the course more.
great way to help people understand the benefits of being fit.
Hey Grant, I'm 13 and I started golf a little while ago and I was wondering if you could give me a lesson. I live in the dfw area and I have never gotten one before. I'm rapidly improving and I want to really do this seriously in the future. So if you see this let me know if you we do this, if not that if perfectly fine.
Blew my mind talking about toe hang on the putter 🤯great knowledge Grant!
I’m a 20 plus handicapper. My biggest weakness is short game. I’d say I’m closer to 10-12hdcp off the tee and with irons. Wedges and putter are gross. I have a cavity back wedge that’s good with full swings but when I need it for 20-50 yards it’s awful. Any suggestions on wedges aside from the obvious “practice more”?
🔥. Great Vid. As of today. We the golf community, Here by name you .. Grant “The Professor“ Horvat.
Grant : "Buying off the rack is the worst thing you can do "
Steve: "HMB"
Hey Grant, brand spanking new to golf, no clubs yet. My question is if I get fitted, can I THEN get clubs off the rack or do they need to be custom made? Thank you
Love learning and reflecting on golf. grant is great!
I started at 14 with a set of Walter Hagen Forged Blades from i have no idea what year my grandpa gave me them. Ive struggled for years. I recently just got myself a set of Titleist DCI a Titliest 983 E S flex and a Titleist fairway wood R flex. Spent just about $200 on a set that would have cost me 6X as much 25 years ago. I go out this Saturday to play them for the first time and I couldnt be more excited.
I think it's crazy to get fit as a beginner , play cheap clubs , as many as you can , play around with them and develop some confidence and your swing , notice your tendencies , get better at contact with every shot and when you become confident that your not gonna chunk it any given shot and can talk back to the fitter based on your actual time spent hitting golf balls confidently then get fit so they last for a while.
To costly to be getting fit with a jacked up golf game and no idea about your own game.
I had a fitting today at golf galaxy and they didn’t want to help me at all. I paid for it the day before when I was there, the said as someone who plays 114 as their average I need to get lessons and get my score lower to be worth the fitting. When reality is I paid for it because I wanted to learn more about my swing so that kinda pissed me off… they only let me swing with a 7 iron, even though I paid for a full fitting. So I still have no clue what my yardages are. But I learned I miss right because I play a cut, I should stay away from blades, and I need 1° upright to fix the cut… over all terrible experience but kinda happy I got a little help
Pretty standard to get fit with just a seven iron… unless you go to a specialty place that I don’t know about at this point. Also, shooting 114 average is a bit high for a fitting because it can be tough to replicate your shot and find repeatability for the fitting. I shot an 89 today and even we were throwing out “bad shots” in my fitting. Lessons would probably be great for you and you can get them on a sim to learn your yardages. Good luck
@@brendanschriber3242 thank you, I think I was pissed it was coming from a corporate guys mouth vs someone I play with lol. Later when I got home I let it sink in and let it go. Grants second video with Steven I think is what I really gotta do because I have a -1.3 swing path
I get where you're coming from, but a fitting is done in a limited time period so they usually take a mid-iron like a 6 or 7 to evaluate you. It's standard practice. I was fitted by a big RUclips outfit and there were so many brands to go through I only hit 6 irons and also zero advice on swing. I settled on the Srixon ZX7 but still had a ton of doubts so I had a second fitting a my local club by a Srixon fitter AND the club pro helped out. The advantages were the fitter was ablt to better evaluate me with more clubs and some small pointers from the pro. I ended up getting a combo set. Utility 4 iron (most forgiving), ZX5 (more forgiving) in a 5,6,7 and ZX7 in 8,9 and PW. They added 1/2 inch to my shaft length too which made a massive difference! Bonus was fitting was free because I bought clubs.
Don't buy until you're SURE you know you'll be happy with what you're getting. Get on the mailing list of a few local clubs and wait for a manufacturer fitting day and check it out, you'll be glad you did. Good luck.
@@martyfarrell9459 Ill keep that in mind maybe change up my swing like in the fix your slice video, see how that goes and get another fitting. I hit a consistent cut but i am a bit steep at impact
Also so we’re all clear I loose most of my stroke from putting I 3-4 putt a lot
Something that is SUPER IMPORTANT when it comes to driver shaft, is if you don't have the right flex, you sacrafice forgiveness. If the shaft is too stiff, it won't flex enough at impact to flex the head to square the face, and you will lose not only speed, but a ton of control. A softer shaft will cause the head to flex too much at impact, and may cause more spin. So many people have big egos and want an X-stiff, but go get fit and get the right shaft! Finding more fairways and scoring is better than hitting it far with no control and losing balls!
Big egos = big scores
Great explanations what a helpful video. I feel like if you were to get a new golfer into the lab and show em some tips along the way seeing some of these minor adjustments could be very beneficial in understanding the swing. If y’all mess with NELK you should get Salim on the lab that’ll be the biggest video yet no doubt
I think that anyone starting out, or not fully ready to get fit should and can get the numbers they would need (spin rate/swing speed/ delivery, etc.) to pick a good used set that is close enough to your spec to start practicing and dialing in your swing. As a fitter, it’s easier for someone to transition to a set “fit” for them if they have the fundamental abilities to gather enough data. The last thing you want to do, if you’re going to try to improve quickly, is get fit into a huge game improvement iron and a draw biased driver, which will hold you up as you progress and get better
Great message for every golfer. Not just beginners. I got fitted for my current set in early 2021 and my game improved significantly. I was no longer fighting my clubs.
I've recommended the fitting process to everyone that's gone in the market for new clubs. and you know how many listened to me? ZERO! LOL
But that's why my friends are 20 handicap and I'm 6
Hey Grant you touched on the fact that club speed plays a part in determining shaft......have you done a video on how to increase club speed......
As a casual golfer getting back into it. I was gifted blades about 4-5 years ago and I have just learned to work with them. I learned to not hit as fast due to the unforgiveness of the clubs. I keep them straight, but I have begun to notice the lack of distance.. What would the transition be like to go to more thick cavity backs?
I have been playing for just short of 1 year and I'm around a 30 HCP, i have been playing with an old set my dad had at home, do you think is worth getting fitted or just wait to improve my level before changing clubs? I feel like I won't notice any difference.
i would maybe hone in your swing more. i didn’t get fitted until i was a 10 HCP and my new clubs have helped me get to a 5 HCP but i would wait maybe just a bit. hope that helps!
Bought my first set of clubs and started golfing regularly 2 months ago.. before I bought these clubs I played maybe 20 times in my entire life.. I ended up buying a set of used Mizuno blades from the 2010 era. I wouldn't go back. Blades teach you how to be a better ball striker.. I would agree not all beginners would have success with blades, though.
Grant might hustle harder than anyone in Good Good right now.
Not a knock on the rest of the boys but Grant and G are setting a high bar.
Yea grant and garret grinders fr
Should I get fit even though I barely started the sport or should I take lesson first with standard clubs?
You guys really are dedicated to growing the game
I use the blade 3 iron but mostly just to hit bullets off the tee and from the woods. It's super easy to hit that thing low and curve the ball with it. My 4 and 5 are thicker. I'm scratch
I’ve been playing golf this year only and get out about once every week to play a round, or on range atleast. I’m naturally athletic though, played high level ball. After 4 months, I am more than sure I should get fitted. My clubs are all hand me downs. I’m about +15 handicap … my clubs were my buddies that’s 6’5 lol
Just an FYI, you're likely a -15 handicap or 15 handicap. A +15 handicap means you're ~15 strokes better than par, which is better than many of the guys on the PGA Tour who are generally between a +4 and +9 handicap.
@@microchip470 maybe I said that wrong … I average about 15-19 strokes over par lol
I want to get fit really bad. However, I do not currently have the budget to buy a new set of clubs. I plan on saving most of my summer job money and buying a new set of irons at the end of summer. My current irons are Titleist AP1 718 standard gold shaft standard grip size.
Good stuff Grant!... i guess im going to get fitted soon!!! Cheers!!
Amazing video Grant, getting fit was such a gamechanger for me, always thaught i should use standard lie and length clubs but now i got 2 degrees flat and 1/4 inch shorter irons. 👌👌
Hi grant, im 12 years old and just getting into golf should i get fit for golf clubs or wait till i stop growing so they will fit me for longer. We live on a farm and dont have the most money to get fit
I am look at the Callaway XR returning back to golf after 20 years my ex-wife stole mine when she left lol what your thoughts
I bought used clubs from years back. Taylormade SLDR Driver, 5wood 4-AW and I haven't changed em. My shafts been like noodles and they are stiff. Might just do a shaft fitting
I didn’t go to blades till me distant dispersion for center strike to off center was a club and half difference I just couldn’t play constantly.
I started golf during covid using my dad's set and they are all blades all the way to 3 iron and they have been so difficult to hit just broke my record the other day though but it's been hard to use them because they aren't forgiving at all
Really good stuff for beginners!
Get blades for the range, forgiving irons for play.
Bro I’m early, but this is awesome. I’m actually getting fitted in a month!
If you’re someone that’s playing on a hand me down set, is it a good idea to regrip your clubs if you know you aren’t going to get a new set for a while? Me for example: I’m playing on a very old set, old big Bertha metalwoods - you get the picture, but I actually like the clubs and don’t plan on getting a new set until I really have the money saved and can get everything. But do you guys think I’ll see a big difference regripping the clubs with fresh grips and the correct grip size or am I better off just waiting for the new clubs?
+1 for an iron fitting. I was an off the rack iron set guy for years and blamed my poor swing for most of my miss hits. I never felt like I was good enough to get fit, but it would’ve made the game a little easier if I did it all those years ago. As my game has gotten better, I treated myself to fitting and a new set of Mizuno Pro 223’s this year and found out I needed a 1/2” longer shaft and 2 degree upright lie. 🤦🏽♂️
I got fitted for my entire bag. Like you, had a number of poor swings and miss hits. Went to get fitted, turns out my clubs are way too heavy, long, and wrong lie angle. I tested the clubs they gave me, and I hit them straighter and further and more consistent. It felt like I was originally swinging around baseball bats they were so heavy. They are lightening up all my clubs, adjusting the length to standard and dropping my lie angle 1 degree. Cant wait for them to come in.
How do you feel about stix club set
The 225s are sweet for newer players. Still look amazing but super forgiving and they launch high
For some vid idea: post some GG compilation videos
Are the good good putters going to be available in lefty?
what are some stretches for people with lower back problems
Yes Yes aaaaannnnnd…YES Grant. Nuff said
when should i get fit though? like i wanna get into golf and get good clubs but im not the best at all so should i get fit now
For those who don’t want to get fit until our game improves, which beginner club sets do you recommend?
This may be a dumb question but can you get the clubs you already own fitted?
When are the Good Good putters gonna be released for sale?
Grant what is your opinion of one lenght sets?
I swear to god these kids know more than I ever will about the game of golf.
I wouldn’t recommend a new player going to 223’s. If you are absolutely sold on Mizuno, go JPX 921 Hot Metal’s, you could even do like the hybrid combo set where your 4/5/6 irons are hybrids. Grant is just such a pure striker of the golf ball he probably sees the 223 as a forgiving club, but if you’re just starting you want game improvement style irons, very forgiving, chunky, cavity back designs. Learn to hit the ball repeatably and with some consistency before you ever start worrying about working the ball. A set of Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal irons is on sale for $847 at most golf super stores right now, that’s a great starting club that still looks great, you may even want to go more game improvement style than that if you’re brand new. Titelist T300’s would be pretty good, Ping g425’s. Go hit some and figure out what you like, I don’t recommend 223’s to anybody that’s not a great ball striker especially not someone brand new to the game.
How do you get a repeatable swing if you don't have clubs to practice with?
Thanks Grant ♠️
Repeatable golf swing is key
Why'd you have to call me out like that, Grant? I am the hack who plays with all blades. Totally spot on with the reason too... just love looking down at those butter knives.
When do the good good putters drop cuz I need to buy a new putter but I’m willing to wait to buy a good good putter depending on the wait
It sounds nice to get fitted. But I'm still quite new so my swing feels like it changes from day to day haha.
The best way to start is to do the physical measurements by Ping. Then you can buy some old clubs based on the color code and length
Im lost, so im told to get a consistent swing before i even get my fitting for beginner clubs. Ok, well, what do i use until i get fitted, and im consistent then lol
Grant, a great Good Good Labs video would be seeing if a true new golfer would do better with one length irons. Every other video on RUclips has a golfer whose already used to variable length to try and switch. As a very new golfer, having the se swing for all irons is really appealing. Hopefully since some of the guys are sponsored Cobra it won't be an issue with sponsors.
grant do ya wanna fit me with my snake eyes tc-01 blades 😂 im a beginner been golfing for not even 6 months about once a week. i golfed 55 on 9 holes today which is good considering i barely have been golfing lol. but id love to dial in my old clubs or even get new ones but i obviously can't considering im using clubs that are older than me i think💀 learning on blades is hard but im not bad with them tbh
Great information thank you
Great advice. Maybe chill out a bit on the zoom/pan action Mr. Cameraman!
Just one question: should I buy blades? 😉😅
Steel vs graphite shaft irons for beginners?
I would advise strongly about getting fitted when just starting out. With all due respect Grant
Grant, got a subject for you to maybe help me with, I’m the exact opposite of a good golfer, but looks are everything to me when getting clubs, currently rocking all mizuno mp20 blades stz220 woods yatta
70% of the time I really strike the ball well, then other times I hit it just completely out of left field terribly
When I look down at a blade or something smaller in general I get more confident than anything thicker
I feel my strike is better and turf interaction is better with blades vs the thicker clubs I’ve had before
That being said as I started I’m not great but I’m not bad if that makes sense I’m right in the slot few tweaks off from being better
Do I stick with my confidence in my blades at address or do I just fight through it with a little easier to hit club that just doesn’t fill me with confidence at address
try something with a thicker sole, a lot of times what we “feel” is actually the opposite of what is actually happening. A thick sole with have great turf interaction. Go hit like Ping G425’s and see how those feel, also mats can be a little deceiving so it’s pretty difficult to get a gauge on what works best for you. Your game sounds a lot like my own, I too wanted blades, and then I swapped over to the 921 Hot Metal pros and my greens in regulation skyrocketed by probably 50%. Don’t let your ego get in the way of you playing better golf, the woods are fine, Mizuno has a ton of great different irons for all types of different golfers, if you live the thin top line look at the Hot metal pros or the forged hot metals. Every single one of them is going to be more forgiving than your current MP 20’s. Even the thickest chunkiest Hot Metal still looks really good in the bag and at address. I guarantee your golf game will improve. Blades require 90%+ positive strikes otherwise you’re going to be in the trees and OB a TON. Cheers.
PXG’s 0211 irons are amazing..
Love Your videos
Where is all the good good content. Haven't seen a video posted in over a week. Need my daily does of good good therapy. 😊
I would love to get fitted just a huge expense until you realize if the sport is for you or not. Does it really effect your game that much running with used or box clubs?
It really depends on what you want to get out of the clubs/your game. If you enjoy going to play once in a while and aren’t really worried about improving to the best of your ability fitting isn’t super important. Grab clubs off the rack if they feel good in your hands and you like them go for it. If you’re trying to honestly practice and improve and score to your best then fitting is a great step in having confidence in your equipment. If the clubs are fitted to you can play knowing that the clubs are dialed and it’s up to you to make good shots.
@@jeffstrine9012 that makes a lot of sense. At this point I’m trying to develop my game with the equipment I have then if I hit a certain point upgrade. I just didn’t know how much of an impact we are talking here for the cost. All of my equipment is preowned.
Yeah I would say if you are overall happy with what you have right now then do your best to improve with what equipment you have and when you decide to buy new clubs then get yourself fitted. Especially if you’re buying new. If you’re spending that much for clubs you might as well get them fitted to you. Most places will charge $60 to $100 to fit or free with purchase. When you’re spending 800+ for irons why not spend the little extra to get them made for you
custom built irons from Golf Works, and go from there, can't go wrong...
Quick question: with a club head speed of 108 with driver, what flex shaft should I be using.
I believe your at the top end of stiff but you are probably eligible for extra stiff.
At 108 depending on your launch, spin, and attack angle, you would more than likely fit into a stiffer stiff shaft, so something like a hzrdus RDX black or blue 6.0, Tensei white, and a few others.
If you’re fully warmed up and at 108, probably stiff. But if you can swing that from a quick range sesh straight to hole 1, extra stiff
@@nickrawlings8436 I spin it about 2800 with my ideal launch
@@kw_outdoors9055 what's the current shaft?
grant good tips but not everyone has the money for getting fit and correct adjustments i feel that u can by a pre set off the shelf first and then if u really are perusing it then get fit all in all good tips all around
Yeah I could have hopped off of of this video when you said I need to have a repeatable swing and just get fitted. Guess I’ll be swinging the 1992 macgregors for a while longer until I can get fitted
Bro I think watching the goodwill videos proves a fitting isn’t needed you can play fine golf with anything
@@andrewtorgerson6143 yeah no I get that I was saying I’m not gonna spend $700-$1000 on new irons that aren’t fit to me I’ll just wait till I’m better to get some actually fit
@@andrewcorbin316 yea I feel you
919/921 Mizuno Hot Metals. The best GI irons you can get.
Whoever filmed this video was doing waaaaay too much. Too many unnecessary zooms and camera was all over the place
I would have to disagree on the not starting out on blades, don't think I would have ever committed golf if I didn't hit a blade. That first pure contact after the many miss hits....... man was I hooked from then and there
That’s not a good reason to give someone that advice just cuz it was your experience.
@@caidenf.3229 yeah, not really fact based just my opinion
As a new golfer who has a set of blade irons I can attest it is not a good idea. why do I have them you might ask, well they fit priority #1 they were an incredibly cheap full set of 20 year old Mizuno Tzoid pro II's (3-PW) for $80 at golf galaxy.
I love lamp
Nobody who is just starting out, is going to go and get fit....find a set of clubs at a garage sale and get started
I want to get fitted by Grant lol. Went to my local golf shop and all they told me is everything standard. Haha
gotta love local golf shops huh lol and lemme guess thatll be 1000$
had the same issue, looking in to golftec now. they offer a swing eval prior to the fitting to ensure you are getting the right clubs.
Grant won't have real fitting knowledge but I understand your point.
Look for a Club Champion or maybe a PGA Superstore.
Also.. Join a local Facebook golf page and ask there. 👌
Andrew $1000? You buying used clubs? More like 3-4 grand for a full bag
@@addisonking3202 no I meant just for the fitting lol but yea I spent 2K on my full bag used irons new wedges new 3W new driver because come on if I can hit farther than my buddies who cares
Thank you.
Is that what causes my puts to stay on the high side???
Advice when starting out, no need for new fitted clubs, sometimes hand me downs or clubs you get from friends will be just as good
