    As others have said, love this type of video where a golfer we can relate to is testing the clubs. The biggest mistake I made several years ago was selling my set of Big Berthas because I wanted something "more stylish". Have finally returned to a set of "game improvement" irons and starting to enjoy golf again as the number of rank mishits is coming down.

    Great to see a real golfer testing clubs instead of a pro constantly hitting high penetrating iron shots where I could barely beat their carry with my driver 😅 great stuff 👌🏻

    PETER - This is the sort of testing video that I like. A person with a similar handicap testing indoors and outdoors over a couple of weeks. That enabled E-bay to make his choice after taking into account multiple tests.

      Couldn’t agree more, it’s ok watching pros hit clubs, but I’d rather see guys like Pete hit them cos he has a similar handicap to mine.

    Peter....... great to see a player taking his ego out of the game and giving an honest assessment.... honest to say his preferred shiny good looking clubs which he liked at first were not his final choice. Well done.

    "Peter" Great to see a video of a mid handicap golfer testing clubs instead of a pro who would strike the ball consistently. Keep up the great work guys

  • @MrJnholmes1
    @MrJnholmes1 3 года назад +2

    "Peter" belated happy birthday! I like this sort of testing, much more realistic than a pro giving you advice on clubs when we are never going to swing the same as them!

  • @stewbail1
    @stewbail1 3 года назад

    “Peter”, I’m in the market for new clubs now after promising myself a new set after getting my handicap below 20 and this was a sobering demonstration of how everything that shines isn’t always gold. No matter what the marketing sales pitch says and the price tag might suggest it’s how the clubs perform in your own hands that matter more than the looks or the name on the clubs. Great informative video and as others have said, from an honest mid handicapper, not a pro who could hit a toy set further than most of us ordinary armatures. Thank you golf mates👍🏻

  • @markkeating3609
    @markkeating3609 2 года назад

    At 0:46 of the video we see Pete in a 3 split screen shot testing clubs in a practice bay. So would that make it 3bay Pete? I love the nickname Ebay Pete. I also like testing clubs here and there off ebay. It's a good way to get a good club to fit a gap in your bag, without spending a fortune. And this video could be more helpful than others on RUclips done by club pros, because although Pete is a great player, he's closer to the average guy's skill level. And most of us have seen him play a lot in various scenarios on multiple golf courses. That speaks to me better than watching the pros test clubs on a simulator only. Great video idea, keep them coming.

  • @sijones501
    @sijones501 3 года назад

    Don’t think I’ve ever seen a golf club review that is more relevant to me than this!
    Please do more of These Liam! I have never understood why I have to listen to Pro’s who hit the ball so well and so long for their opinions on golf clubs - that means NOTHING to me! I need info off fellow mid-high handicappers!

  • @1pierrr
    @1pierrr 3 года назад

    I got fitted for irons. Once the pro worked out what suited me he came up with three different makes, three different prices and I had no way to make a decision. 🤦‍♂️ So I asked him if he had a choice, which ones would he have… that’s how I got my Taylormade irons. Very pleased. I was a mid handicapper… well into single figures now with still the same clubs. 😀

  • @100torresm
    @100torresm 2 года назад +1

    “Peter”. Enjoyed seeing you mates trying the 4 sets. I think its much better to try a set out on grass rather than on just a mat to get a better sense and proper fit. Cheers.

  • @peterwithers9276
    @peterwithers9276 3 года назад

    Well I'm another PETER and thought the video was one of the best and most honest club comparison's I've seen. Belated happy birthday Peter. Let's hope your handicap starts to fall now you've shelled out for some new old clubs!!

  • @guyr7351
    @guyr7351 3 года назад +1

    Peter, good to see a player of the average handicap level testing clubs. Even though his handicap is going out he hits it like most of us, two good one bad, two bad one 😊

  • @timosullivan3537
    @timosullivan3537 3 года назад

    "Peter". A great topic, used golf clubs. SAS, Simon, a fellow golf RUclipsr suggests buying used clubs because there is no appreciable difference between clubs from 5 years ago & today - especially for average golfers.

  • @davegrindey7823
    @davegrindey7823 3 года назад

    Peter. I’m a big fan of testing across multiple days as the swing is not always the same… and the key thing is how bad your bad shots are. What a fantastic bloke to admit that he prefers the least favourite looking clubs. I worked off data only when I bought my last set and I also didn’t want them to ‘win’ but you can’t argue with the data.

  • @kenhenderson4601

    "Peter", love watching this and the realization that forgiving clubs are really good for us mid-handicapers. I've got a set of Adams with full on hybrids for 3,4,and 5 while 6-9 are "kind of" hybrids and pw,sw are cavityback. I love them I'm not good enough to warrant a full on blade... but I am getting better :)

  • @tonysilver7195
    @tonysilver7195 3 года назад

    Happy Birthday Pete ( Peter) I use Callaway XRs and I went to upgrade, went for a fitting and tried different shafts and the full Callaway range, after 3hrs I walked away with my Old XRs in the bag... Some of the option went a couple of yard further but I was far more accurate with my old clubs, so keet my money in my wallet. Fitting cost £80 but I saved £800 on clubs.

  • @Bravestarr137

    So good to see that is doesn't matter how the club looks, it's all about how they perform. I am 38 and have still got my Left handed Ping Eye 2's blue dot. Working wonders as a mid handicapper still to this day.
    They are like Triggers Broom.

    Peter
    Great review for the mid-hdcp guy (that's me these days) and supports what I try to tell friends all the time. Play what suits your game, period. My irons are 26 yrs old and I still hit them better than any of the 6 sets I've had since I got these. BTW, a lot of club performance is in the shafts. Get yourself properly fitted by a clubmaker. It's worth the $$.

  • @johnwelford1355
    @johnwelford1355 3 года назад

    "Peter" Yep agree good to see an irons test where it's not about looks or distance and all the tech it's about the feel and consistency and that just what we are all looking for.

    PETA!! I bought the Mizuno Hot Metal Pro's. They're too dern pretty, I'm afraid of scuffing them. I hit every green then retired and put them on my mantle as a centerpiece. I went back to hitting Rawlings Big Sticks to give myself a challenge, and can sleep at night knowing I won't gash the Mizunos with a rock.

  • @whatsupdoc6819
    @whatsupdoc6819 2 года назад

    Peter.
    Great video lads. To answer your question mate, no I would not buy them based on looks only or else would have ponied up for the Cobra RF Proto 33. I buy the best looking clubs that I can hit... too bad I think I am better than I really am.
