Congrats on the Primo sponsorship, the Paradym’s are interesting to see how they’ll innovate the club game, if at all. I’m going to my first lesson in a few weeks, looking forward to be back playing golf this year. Excited to see your progress!
Not sponsored. I wish I was. Not at that Grant and Micah level. Just affiliated. For me the paradym felt good. But didn't blow me away or anything. Felt consistent but not super long. I think the stealth was more innovative IMO. My courses are just starting to open up so I'll be getting out there filming soon. I'm excited to start making some content again. I changed my swing up a lot over the winter through lessons. So no idea how I'll do in the beginning lol. Enjoy your lesson, and have fun out there! ✌️
Good video! I went for a driving fitting and was good for the stats, then been having lessons from pga pro that made a difference, I think you would benefit from a lesson you look real stiff, trying to play the ball so far forward, feet way to far apart! Use your knees and hips more! It will come my friend
Looks like you keep a lot of weight forward during your swing. Without a good turn and weight transfer, you’re basically just hitting with your arms. Might be something to look into.
Oya. Absolutely. That's a swing fault I've been working on for over a year now. If your interested, check out my last fitting video and compare my swings 1 year apart. Big difference I feel. Still a work in progress. ✌️
@@MGGolf I remember watching a video a few months ago from Athletic Motion Golf called “How to shift weight and pressure like a pro”. I thought they did a really good job breaking down the mechanics.
Totally agree with Johnathan. And open your hips in your back swing. Basically, if I was standing beside you on your down range side I should see your right shoulder blade in your back swing. The only way for you to do that correctly is to open your hips
@@MichealBacon I have a pretty messed up lower back so turning correctly in the golf swing is pretty difficult. I have been working with a chiropractor to attempt to fix things up. Im hoping by the spring time I'll be in better physical shape to get some real rotation going. and then also getting some lessons over the winter to try and get the correct movements down. ✌
What's your angle of attack? It looks a bit down to me where it should be up. That will reduce spin considerably. With 150-55 ball speeds and a 5 degree up angle of attack you will be carrying 250+.
I'm honestly not sure Jim. I think I needed the little face stickers for a gc quad to pick that up. Not entirely sure tho. I think we were just basing things around the ball launch angle. I would assume I'm slightly downward based on spin numbers tho. I do need a driver specific lesson to work on attack angle, path angle, and dropping spin. You can swing as hard as you want, but if you don't hit it right it's not going anywhere. ✌️
@@MGGolf absolutely. Dynamics with the driver are all important. Over 4000 spin doesn't sound right to me. With your speed you should be close to if not over 300yds total. My swing is slower than yours and my ball speeds in the 140s mainly but I hit up on it and my spin is between 2200-2500 mainly. Get the maximum from what you have got.
@@MGGolf launch is important. The guy doing the fitting was quite vague when he said launch should be between 10-14 degrees. That's a pretty wide window. Launch, ball speed and angle of attack all combine to make optimum conditions to maximize your swing dynamics. A good fitter would get those three elements in line in order to improve performance. I have been to fittings where it becomes more like a lesson than a fitting. It's interesting to get on quad and find out what optimal stats look like for your individual delivery.
@@MGGolf Wouldn't get caught up at all in aoa unless you are extreme one way or the other. I know we aren't tour pros, but avg driver aoa on PGA tour is -1.5.
hey bro I was watching your taylormade club fitting and I was gonna ask how you feel about the driver? Was looking at getting myself one, but I see you are switching to Callaway
I didn't really have intention on switching. Just heard all the hype around the Paradym and wanted to give it a try. Felt pretty consistent. The stealth felt good when I hit it last year. I've got a sim 2 max in the bag now and it feels similar to the stealth. For me, as long as the right shaft is in the club, it feels pretty good. Im sure you could find a stealth 1 used/demo that you could try out somewhere. Personally, I prefer the TaylorMade. Good luck homie. Thanks for checking out the videos. ✌️
U need to shift ur weight from right foot to left foot to make create more power. All the power comes from ur swing. There is no weight transfer in ur swing bro. Im sure ul drive it farther once u figure it out.
Ur absolutely right. That's the main thing I'm working on with my coach. If you look at one of my first videos last year, it was really bad. Thanks for the tip tho. You got good eyes. ✌️
This fitter has no idea what he’s talking about. Find a true pro or someone that knows what shafts actually do…or just watch some videos on fitting from TXG
Always interesting, but will drop the fitter. Your shoulders are so wide open to target line no wonder you slice or hook it out of the park. Sort out your setup, and you will be utterly surprised. Then go back and refit.
Ya definitely need a driver specific lesson. I actually really enjoyed working with this fitter. For being a Callaway rep (basically a salesman) he didn't push the product on me in an uncomfortable way, and did his best to fit me. We did hybrids after this and spent much more time dialing and tinkering around as that's what I need more than a driver right now. Hopefully I can sort out my driver as alignment has always been an issue for me. Maybe by next season there will be a noticeable improvement. Thanks for the comment and checking out my vid. Appreciate it so much. ✌️
From my experience you cannot do a proper fit with face tape on the driver. I think the wiser choice as you said is to have lessons rather than buy a new driver as buying a new driver will only mask the problems in your swing.
The face tape was only because I mentioned strike location as my major concern. And I agree with you 100% that it could affect spin numbers and make for an improper fit. But at my level of playing, my striking is so inconsistent that the tape would have minimal effect. I'm hoping to have a driver specific lesson in the next few weeks to work on strike location and attack angle. Thanks for the input and checking out my video. Really appreciate it. ✌️
I think you would benefit more from one or two good swing lessons from a reputable coach. Lots going on here; closed hips, too much weight forward, stance too wide, shoulders closed, swinging arms only. Find a decent coach and the majority of your swing issues will be in the rear view. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Oli! Gotta book a lesson soon and get some things moving for sure. ✌️
Great stuff my dude. If you ever come to the west coast in SD, would love to play a round with you.
Absolutely! Thanks for the encouragement. Means a lot. ✌️
Audio sounds good! You can tell the non-narrated video is farther away but that is expected. Good wireless microphone might help.
Awkward filming as it is. Be even worse to mic up someone I just met lol
@@MGGolf I was talking about you can wear it & then turn down the noise reduction. It might do better. May be worth a try.

@@MGGolf try the ASICS. Great comfort but with support. Gel Kayano Ace, I have three pair myself. Hit ‘em straight! 😉
