great video..... i just got the Stealths last year and i love them... went ventus red graphite shaft regular flex and boy they feel awesome....1 degree upright 37 inch 7 iron....midesize grip....I just came across your channel and i do find it very helpful...thx.....cheers from Canada
I have 3 OLD sets of Irons, a set of 1993 Custom Fit Kenneth Smith Stainless Steel forged blades, 1996 Callaway Big Bertha irons, and PING ISI Nickel fitted clubs, I now am playing a set of 2011 Adams V3 Forged irons and I can take any set-out and shoot 72 -82, so it's NOT the clubs, its how well your swing can swing a club. Back IN 1992 I played with a kid that played the South African golf tour ( the stepping stone to the PGA back in the day ) He came home because of Aparthide and he worked at my buddies 9 hole course, and when he was off work he would play along with me and he would take out the CRAPPY rental clubs, all miss matched blades, and this guy would shoot under par ( par 72) all the time. It's the Indian, not the clubs !!! I asked him why he didn't keep his good Clubs in his car, and he said it didn't matter what he used as long as he could get out and play golf, it didn't matter what clubs were in his hands !!! Buying a set of clubs isn't going to make you shoot a lower score, but a well-developed swing will make any club work, as I watched firsthand. I spend my money on lessons! I am 62 and do not play as much as I did 30 years ago when I carried a 6 handicap, but I still get the ball around the course in 75-89 shots only playing 4 times a month with no practice.
Just saw this vid. Very informative. Gaming SIM2 OS and considering a shaft change from KBS R85 STEEL to graphite. Swung my brothers Callaway ROGUE X 7 iron with a Aldila 60 IR-R SYNERGY shaft a couple of times and really enjoyed it. What do you recommend for my SIM2's ???
Again not a good fit. Without knowing the loft of Tom's gamer irons compared to the stealth it is impossible to tell whether the distance gains are real or simply a function of loft. Then there is the spin rate or lack of discussion about spin rate. Just over t200 rpm is not bad for a 30.5 degree 7 iron off a mat, but personally I would like too see the spin rate a touch higher. Not a word about choice of shafts, should Tom play graphite or not? In the world of RUclips you need to be much better than this
Yeah. I found a great club that beats my 7 iron by 10 yards! My 6 iron. I found another club that is more consistent than my 7 iron. My 7 iron after hitting 5 shots.
problem is his club path, not his irons. I have less clubhead speed but hit it 20 yards farther because of a much better club path. 5 to 10 degrees out to in, that's a dead end. edit. I hate those G425 type clubs. He has a decent swing and with a good coach he could turn his path much better. Rather he should go for i230, ZX5/ 7 type of clubs where he would feel more....
I mean it should ring a bell when every iron he hits performs better than the last, if he had hit one of the earlier ones in the end they would of been alot better
Great point which I see fitters conveniently ignore. The Stealth, along with most game-improvement irons like the ones he is testing here, have significantly stronger lofts. I had a fitting as well where I hit it 30 yards further, but the loft of the club was 8 degrees less than my gamer.

He should hit 20 to 30 yards farther with that club speed. 5 to 10 degrees out to in is what hurts here.
Have to factor in that these are range balls too

Hi given the fact you are such a professional club fitter how about we meet at a driving range and you can tell me exactly what clubs I should use
Yeah.
I found a great club that beats my 7 iron by 10 yards! My 6 iron.
I found another club that is more consistent than my 7 iron. My 7 iron after hitting 5 shots.
