I think some of your best content is fitting average players. I know that it's been difficult with covid-19 so I'm really happy to see Ron back testing stuff with you.
Guys, more of the average player stuff please. That 7w would be a nice option in my bag too. Struggle for distance
Exactly "more of the average player stuff please"
The 7 wood is meant for people who struggle with distance
I think the 7 wood is also good with green approaches, I just add loft to the 5 wood and choke down on it for those shots instead of putting another club in the bag. But my 5 wood and 5 iron are my most reliable clubs, and super accurate. So I don't see me giving them up for anything
Love the videos featuring actual customers. Seeing what a really good fitting looks like and one very happy customer. Win, win. Well done TXG.
I always love it when Ron comes on. I consider myself a slightly younger, homelier version of him. I have similar tendencies along with the G410 driver and MMC irons in the bag. One of these days I hope to cross off my bucket list item and make a trip to TXG. Also, nice work with Gabe Galucci. Been following his progress also. Take care guys.
Im a 55 yo who plays off 7 and have a Heaven Wood (Callaway) and a 9 wood. I only carry irons from 6 down. It suits my gapping and have more confidence in the woods and it allows me to hit longer high shots into the green that stop. My distance off the tee is only around 240 yards so often leaves a 160-180 shot into par 4 greens. My HW goes on ave about 185 and 9 175. But can adjust that by working it one way or the other. I cop flack from my mates as i have a 4 wood with my driver. i occaisionally have a 2hybrid in the bag for low shots in the wind usually second shots on our par 5's. So there can be 5 headcovers in the bag. But I realised 5 years ago when I was a steady 12 handicapper that wasnt about the ego any more. Its about getting the job done in as low amount of shots as possible. And have sat on a HC from 5.9 to 8.2 for those last 5 years. Many people will get better by knowing and using the tools that give them the most consistent distances and not trying to keep up with how far everyone else may be hitting it. Also using a club distance tracking app like Arccos, Game Golf or Shotscope to give a true indication of club distances not the 9 iron you hit once 180 yards down wind down hill
These SIM fairway woods are no joke. Got fitted for one to replace an old 13.5 degree Titleist 910. The 15 degree SIM increased my ball speed by about 5 mph combined with increased spin and launch angle. this gave me a couple yards on total distance but, more importantly, made it so much more playable on course and hitting into par 5s. Very impressive clubs.
Great to see someone else loves their 7 wood. They serve a great purpose when you approach greens from 220 out. High and soft.
Love it when you feature more average players. Please more of this type of content. Seeing how you can dial in their clubs always gives me hope!
Love watching Ron hit these clubs. It’s more relatable for an average golfer. Although I love Matt’s swing
Absolutely love this episode. The biggest smile on my face for the better part of that 13 minutes. The chemistry between Alan and Ronny is just class.! This is golf and RUclips at its best. Cheers from Sweden guys !
If I hadn't gone into this TXG Rabbit Hole a few yrs back, I can honestly say I wouldn't have this information about what are the key lofts where normal clubhead speed persons hit walls & need help improving launch. For irons it's 27-23 degrees where hybrids can help & for 23-18 degrees that is where hybrids meet 7&5 woods and where the next step down in clubhead speed makes the cross over - and it's this area where finding that BEST club is so important for scoring. I know everyone loves drivers but this is the most important part of the bag
I just got a 7 wood this year, it's awesome and really helping my game! It helps having extra forgiveness over a 5 wood, it let's me get decent distance off the deck. Epic flash 21⁰(cranked up to 23⁰).
Being a relatively average swing speed player I went to a Callaway fitting day at my local club today and came away very confused. I play an Epic 5w turned down a degree so really a 4w. Mavrik standard 5w at 18 degrees was at least 10-12 yards longer than my Epic despite a degree less loft, the Mavrik Max launched higher and was about the same as my current Epic, but the 7w (I think in the standard Mavrik) was almost exactly the same flight and distance as the Max 5w.
Very impressed with Mavrik, now need to try TM Sim and a couple of others
I am a dedicated 7-wood user, and like Ronnie I hit it off the tee on a couple of par-4 holes every round I play, plus occasionally when I encounter a 200-yard par-3 hole. If there is trouble (ravine, water, etc.) about 215-220 yards off the tee, I know that my 4-wood will almost surely carry that far, so the 7-wood is the logical choice for me. A friend of mine talked me into trying a 7-wood about two years ago, and I had an old "bargain basement" 7-wood in my garage that I put in my bag on a trial basis late in the 2018 season. I now carry a Callaway Epic Flash adjustable 7-wood that I have set at 20.5* loft and I installed an ACCRA Tour Z 85 (stiff) shaft in it. It carries a consistent 190 yards for me (124 MPH ball speed) and rolls-out to about 200 yards. My bag setup is driver, 16.5* 4-wood, 7-wood, then a 22* 4-hybrid before I get to my irons, and this works out perfectly for my game.
Good to see Ronnie back on the channel. Congrats on a really nice fit. Ronnie is going to love this club.
ANOTHER great video. I love watching Ronny, he reminds of my Father-in-law. I love the range of skill levels represented this channel. The range of data points represented in your channel is fasinating and great for my analytical mind.
BEST CHANNEL FOR IMPERICAL GOLF DATA...PERIOD!
Just 42 days until I hit the fitting studio and after this video I couldn't be more excited to see what the outcome will be. I feel a kinship with Ron and his game. Seeing how what he has in the bag has evolved and the journey you and he have taken to get there is very cool. Keep it up and see you in six weeks. Fingers crossed the Atlantic Bubble expands to the rest of Canada.
I’m 36, roughly 96-99 driver club head speed, I don’t use a 3 wood as I can’t get any ball flight with it. I have a 5 wood lofted down to 17 degrees and a 7 wood lofted down to 20 degrees. I hit the 5 wood as far as, if not farther than, any 3 wood I’ve ever tried.
Whats also great, is lots of videos have shaft tech chat and fitting to max gains and this as purely loft and different clubs/length making a massive difference.
Love how excited these guys are to make every level player find their best equipment match ups. Good vibes.
Love seeing that along with the explanation of height and other bits. Great stuff.
I'm basically new to golf. Playing since covid. Started at a 40+ handicap. Currently got down to 16 handicap.
The more I understand about the game. The more I realise how great this channel.
I LOVE when you get average players in for a fitting.
I"m currently considering a 7 wood right now and love this content!
I love Matty, but hitting 300 yards off my 3 wood ain't really where I'm at :)
After watching it, I'm curious what clubs sit below and above this new 7-wood choice? It almost looks like the Sim 7w took Ronnie to near 3w length. We need a little WITB for Ronnie, even if it is just in your IG page.
Great comment. The extra 20 yards is hard to put in context. The xxio prime looked higher, more reliable and more likely usable off the deck
Those are some really nice gains with just an equipment change. Ron can’t wait to get back on the course wit his new toy.
I’m a scratch golfer, got pretty high swing speed at 121 mph with the driver on trackman and I’ve been using a ping g410 7 wood for the last two years, absolutely love it, even considering a 9 wood. Just easy to launch and I prefer the look over a hybrid. I think Dustin Johnson had a 7 Wood in the bag last week in the pga
How far do you hit the 7 wood?
@@fostersvideo 245 carry.
This is a great video! I'm about the same swing speed as Ronnie and have been considering replacing my TM Rocketballz 5 wood (21*) with the TM Sim 7 wood. These results are very convincing. Keep up the good work, guys.
TXG. Thanks for today Video. I too looking for a 3 iron or Hybrid but now I think it’s time to add 7wood and go get fitted! Thanks. Greg of Ohio
Such a joy to watch this one. Please bring Ronnie back for more fits! Continues to give hope to us "regular speed" guys!
Great stuff. Would love to see a follow up video on the roll camber plays in a fairway wood!
Love this. Many people think I am crazy for carrying a 7 wood but it is my go to on short par 4s and long par 3s. Sadly it’s an old Callaway Great Big Bertha Heavenwood with a regular shaft (means I have to swing slow and easy). Keeps these videos coming.
Wow. This video really accentuates the importance of the fitting process. Yeah, they all do, because that’s what you do, but seeing Ronnie picking up new club after new club and hammering them well beyond his old faithful: 👍🏻
Nice to see Ronnie back in the studio.
I love this channel. Crazy what a fitting and technology can do. 159 carry to 180 carry 2-3 club difference
Exactly so how does this now fit in his distance gaps? Looks like there will now be a huge gap 😟
This what is important, there are a whole lot of older men and women in this world who have money to spend on golf equipment, and are ready to give up the game of golf because of loss of distance. You guys are proving that there can still be life in us old dogs that want to compete with the right equipment in our hands, put in our hands by those who know what to put in our hands. What Father time has taken away, this is proof that you guys can give some of it back to us. Looks good on both of you, thanks.
I added a 7 wood to my bag this year and dropped my 4 iron. The 7 wood is my 210-220 yard club and has been a great addition off the tee and the fairway. In our men’s group the 7 wood has been the hot club of the year with at least 10 guys adding them in the last couple of years.
Love the mix of videos this week, new gear, ball testing, avg player video.. great content as always.
Gaming a Bridgestone J15F 7 wood as well. Oldest and most trusted club in my bag.
Looking at Ronnie this is a good fit how about a look at what’s in the bag & have a little gapping session to see where the 7wood fits👍
Great to see Ron back in the studio, also great to see some XXIO clubs!
Huge gains for Ronnie, great to see new tech delivering!
the newest club I have in my bag is a Callaway RAZR X black 3 wood, and I love it. I can totally forget about my driver with this 3 wood, it goes 260 yds. My iron set is callaway X18. I've had the same set up since I was 11 yo LOL, it's like a very old relationship, now that I think about it... it's the longest relationship I've kept in my life, just me and my golf clubs out on the course. Pure happiness
Yes you need a 7wood. I’m mad at myself for waiting this long to get me a 7wood. My favorite club in my bag.
Wanted to see him hit it off the deck as well!
He’s got a big swing flaw as he casts from the top. He needs to retain the angle in his right wrist otherwise he will only be able to hit this off the tee.
On behalf of all us 72 yo golfers BRAVO Ronnie is the man so great that you guys do this. Thanks for keeping us old geezers in the equation. Cheers from NorCal
👊🏻
Love seeing the varying types of videos coming out! My favourite channel by far 👍
Morning lads. thanks for keeping up the steady stream of content that keeps me entertained and informed during my work day. stay safe and keep up the good work.
Love watching Ron improving
7W is my magic club. I'm an average Joe who struggles for distance and loft. I hit my Cobra F8 7-8 Wood (cranked to 24 deg) at 80mph approx. 175 yds carry of the deck. It's great off the Tee, fairway and rough. So easy to hit ...why struggle.
I'm getting a fitting on the top end of my bag in a weeks time. Its great to see where equipment is today and the options you have. Whether it be driving/utility iron, hybrid or wood. A big area for growth in my game will be an ability to attack in the long game.
Love my 7 wood SIM max. The only fairway wood I carry. Then it goes to 4 hybrid for next gap
Just added a 5 and 7 wood to my bag. I went with Sim 2 max. I just turned 73 and needed to replace longer irons and hybrids.... my longest iron now is a 6 iron. I suggest trying fairway woods for more senior players. MH
I have a 7, 9 & 11 wood. Love them!!
Wow, what an improvement. Way to go Ronnie and Ian and Matt
I game a 7 wood, M4, its a killer, so versatile and easy to hit. I can carry it 200 just as easy as 220. Easy to shape both ways. Great from the rough. The "Loft is your friend"-statement is simply just true.
One of the best golf videos I've seen in awhile. Nice to see the process. Hope to see a video of course work with the new club used in an actual round.
Always fun to watch Ronnie. Great fit boys!!
Thank you. I found this very useful. I have recently put a seven wood in my bag (Ping G20) and the Same make 4 wood as I don't get on very well with a 3 wood. Nice numbers. I will consider the SIM for a future purchase but with a fitting. Keep up the great videos. PS I am 62yrs old and recently returned to golf.👍
I can relate to your comment. We're about the same age and I too recently returned to golf. I also play with older Ping technology, mix of G25 and G30. I love watching this channel while day dreaming of the day that I can really afford to invest in fitted equipment that complements my ability. Until then, I'll invest time in fitness, practice, and lessons.
Unreal - just put an Accra FX300H M4 into a shallow headed Ping G25 7 wood, and today changed it into an Accra XC75 M4 at 41” - thing is awesome - great off tight lies with just on 200 carry - great for the long par 3s - love Accra shafts - and seven wood doesn’t turn over like hybrids 👌4 & 7 wood combo 👍👍
Great fitting....
Tell Ronnie to look at his Right foot work......If he rolls the heel instead of pushing off his toe he'll find more consistency......
I know this because I recently had a session with my local pro at Branspeth Golf course and I had the exact same problem.....
Ronnie videos are my favorite! Love watching Matthew smash 'em but it is fun to see a swing and fitting that looks more relatable / applicable to my reality.
As always, great to see Ronnie in the house. Would love to see how he would go with an XXiO Prime 5 wood vs the SIM 7 wood.
Rufuss Thoo I had the same thought
LOVE seeing Ronnie, great example of how technology/ a good fit can really help your game
What's in Ronnie's bag? It'd be really interesting to hear not so much what the clubs are, but how he thinks about them (7 wood only for the tee, heard mention of a couple hybrids presumably for approach, etc.) A more unique set make-up, or at least non-traditional by most standards, and how he uses them on the course could be very interesting.
Another very interesting video 👍👍
Great video gentlemen. Still using my 2008 TM Burner 7W with regular flex shaft. It's very forgiving off the tee and great off the fairway. Hits it high, so not the best on very windy days.
what a fun video! ronnie is the man!
Always get the best feelings with my old 7w Callaway BB. Just for pleasure to hit. Like this fitting session. Love your channel.
i feel like what I'm about to say shows up in every one of these videos. But these guys are SO good. The content is always packed with pretty non-biased information and I love the way they use the data to tell stories. Keep it up!
I'm sold on fittings.Been carrying the same fairway woods including a 7 wood for 20 yrs +.
Love mine, set up wise, perhaps unconventional but effective
10.25° driver
16.5° fairway
20° U510
21° fairway
23° utility playing 24.5°
AP3 6-PW
50°F, 54°S, 60°L SM8
It still amazes me how the guy's only have 158k subscribers, the nicest guys and best channel on RUclips.
I needed a 240 club to bridge the 50 yard gap between my 4 iron (220yd) and 3 wood (270yd) and my 7 wood fit perfectly. The 2 iron I couldn’t find forgiving enough and a 3 hybrid i just don’t like the look of and tend to hook them severely. Put my TS2 7wood in my hands with my Accra shaft I feel like I can conquer the world. High and straight it has become one of my most beloved clubs this season. No matter how much grief my buddies give me about having a “old man club” in my bag, I just have to smile when they are chunking 2 iron out of the fairway trying to gat a par 5 in 2, and I just swing easy and drop darts from 240 out with my trusty 7 wood.
Ron is the man
I’m playing the Epic Flash Heavenwood and like Ronny I use it for 3 holes on the course sometimes 4 depending on the wind direction.
Hits the yardage I want, goes straight and interestingly I can easily either hit it hard or really swing easy on it and it still give me a result.
Love a 7 wood
I’m another member of Ronnie’s fan club. High shots are what golfers of a certain vintage lust after. When you can’t hit it high enough wet and/ or hilly courses can really eat up the strokes. I would say that a higher trajectory is the biggest gain for me post fitting. If Ronnie goes to Florida he should look up Adam Bazellgette he had me hitting fairway woods off the deck in 1 lesson; loft and a firm left side at impact does the trick.
I actually carry a Ping g 410 sft 7 Wood in the bag. I love it. Wouldn't leave home without it.
Can we see a final video with Ron reviewing the whole bag? We saw the 7 hybrid and 7 wood. Did Ron end up with 6, 5, 4 hybrids also?
Ive watched every video with Ron. He's such a Gentleman.
Have you guys ever considered doing a test to see if a 9 wood has any real benefits for us who have restricted movement, not everyone gets on with a hybrid? Perhaps Ronnie would help with this.
It’s always a treat when Ronnie is in the house!
Looking forward to this. I have a Cobra F9 driver and 4 hybrid then i go to a 5 iron which i never use so really to a 6 iron. A 5-7 wood is totally on the cards
Love 7 woods. Great vid. Well done Ronnie.
Videos like this make me a bit more optimistic that when I get fit for a new set, there are gains to be made even if I don't have the fastest, prettiest swing on the golf course! Great job Ronnie!
A fitting video with so many 7 and even 9 woods seeing play on the PGA Tour at Harding Park.
Thanks for doing average golfers. This makes a difference for all of us average or lower than average golfers out there.
I need to move to Canada. Our local Golf Galaxy doesn't even come close to you guys when it comes to fitting clubs. It may be worth a trip to see you guys to get new irons. only thing is I need to renew my passport. you guys are amazing.
Happy for Ronnie.
Gotta get Ronnie in regularly! Feels great to see an average (although very good version of 'average'!) golfer in testing out things.
Can we just all admit the SIM is the best line TM has ever released?
Yes we can!!
I love the fact that you guys rarely bash a specific club or type of club. You two may not need a 7 wood, but they will and do work for certain players or types of players and you always say that with some scenarios.
Play the Ping G410 7 Wood and love it, play it a degree strong (19.5), sits between a slightly weak 3 wood (15.5) and a 4 hybrid at 22 deg.
I have the sim max 4 hybrid and it is so long and straight love it 200yards fairway 220+ off tee.
Ronnie! What a guy!!!
Lovely little draw flight from Ronnie 👍and now with an extra 20-30 yards in the bag. just goes to show the benefits to getting a manufacturer agnostic fitting by someone that knows what they're doing
I missed ronnie, such a lovely chap
Watch it again, even so much to learn after three times of watching!
Ronnie's fits are the best
I just bought a Ping G410 9 wood and 5 wood to go with my 710 irons and g410 driver havent hit the 5 and 9 yet! Can't wait
Cracking video, I fit into Ronnie ‘s profile and perhaps my 20 year old 7 wood might be ready for a refresh!
You boys are great
