That was absolutely the best! I don't think I've ever heard another elite pro discuss their equipment like that - I am sure that there are plenty of examples to counter that - but so many pros actually don't understand the physics and they just say "it feels good/right", but Mr. Furyk has a keen awareness of the "why". Great stuff!
Well there’s a number of things. Shape, size, face material, sole design, flight characteristics, std length. Personally never been a fan of Callaway’s hybrid shape but their woods are fantastic.
Jim’s a great player and an even better person. I was Marketing Manager at Spalding for the Top Flite Strata (first multilayer ball) and Jim was a great ambassador for us !
I was watching Jim on the range at The Travelers Championship the evening before he shot his 58. He was so frustrated with his game. He was on the phone with his dad, and kicking balls all over the place. Pretty funny watching that, and the score he shot on Sunday. Crazy game! ⛳️🏌🏽♂️
Best video I’ve seen in a long time!👍🏻 Seems like most of the younger guys on Tour know next to nothing about their equipment and simply count on their club reps to give them what is “best”.
Man I love you digging in depth into bags like this for us equipment geeks. I wish this was a monthly feature video with various pro's discussing their setup with you and the reasons behind it.
Definitely one of my favorite tour players. Great video. Really shows whatever works for you. Those old X forged irons are great, I had a set about 2018
Jim's awesome. Met him years ago at one of Johnny Miller's Tournaments. He's a whiz with his wedges. Love the thought he puts into all of his club choices.
Two comments: 1.) I play the same Callaway AI Smoke driver, Callaway 19* UW and Exotics 722 Ti Utility iron as Jim (softer flex, but same clubs and lofts); and 2.) Kim Braly is a shaft genius. I worked for and with him in the tour equipment trailers for several years and learned a lot from him (and a side benefit is that I got inside the ropes at some tour events and a few majors). I also got to test some prototype shafts from KBS and still have KBS Tour Graphite Iron shafts in many of my irons and wedges.
This dude is the tops , scored the best round in history , won a major and did it all with a home made / unconventional swing = inspiration for every golfer on the planet - you don't need a swing like Adam Scott to be great ballstriker and tour champion !
Wow so insightful from Jim, and i cant believe that after playing golf for nearly 30 years i have the exact and i mean exact same thoughts as him on shafts and heads etc that was so bizarre and brilliant from Jim i thought i was a looney and have been told that ......awesome thanks Jim !
I was lucky enough to find a mint set of 18 X Forged irons on eBay. Really couldn’t afford them when they came out and they even have the shaft I wanted. Standard number of grooves which is fine. Have only had a chance to hit them once on the range and once in a simulator. In my opinion they’re just as good as anything I’d buy today.
Love this detail coming from the pros! Question for you, Ian along the lines of CG forward: I have the Qi10 and have searched to try and find a heavier weight for the sliding track in the front but haven't been able to locate one, do you know where I might find that?! Thanks!
Ian leave CC and focus on your new channel! Your such a good guy and I think you really dont know the dirty tactics of CC in the states. You deserve to be a part of something much greater!
WHAT IS THE SHAFT IN THE DRIVER???!!! You NEVER said. My iron heads are the pre-cursor to the iron heads in this video. Jim shot a 59 with the ones in this video and a 58 with the model I have: RAZR X Forged (cavity back). I bought them from Callaway pre-owned. They had Project X shafts. I knew I was going to pull the shafts and install graphite so I bought the set with the shafts I knew I could re-sell for the most ($190). All the steel shafted ones were the same price from Callaway. I wonder if they were his. I doubt it. There were a number of sets for sale on the site at the time (early 2019). I didn't know Jim had used that model to shoot 58 until later. 🙂
I also hate these enormous head drivers, even though I currently have one (Callaway Epic Max). I grew up in the 80s Jr golf scene playing 150cc persimmon drivers, then 190cc stainless steel in the 90s. You couldn’t cheat distance. If you didn’t hit it "on the screws" it'd cost you 20-30 yards. Im all for more distance and forgiveness, but these head sizes at 460cc is too much.
@ it’s abnormal is all I’m trying to convey since I was actually holding those clubs a couple days weeks ago. If I could post pics I would. It’s shocking to look at , but if you that easily upset , that’s a Fuking you problem. 🫡

![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
I love his thoughts on the mini-driver being the max head size for Tour pros. That needs to happen before they roll back the ball
My thoughts too. Why aren’t they looking at the equipment companies that come out with something new every year vs changing the whole ball industry
That was absolutely the best! I don't think I've ever heard another elite pro discuss their equipment like that - I am sure that there are plenty of examples to counter that - but so many pros actually don't understand the physics and they just say "it feels good/right", but Mr. Furyk has a keen awareness of the "why". Great stuff!
Honestly that’s the most enjoyable equipment conversation I’ve had with a Tour Pro!! Jim’s knowledge really shines through in this video.
That uw wood is so good, one thing that goes underrated on it is that sole. It cuts through rough like butter.
Agreed. Mine is a rocket ship. Almost goes too far!! Sits perfectly behind the ball too
What's the difference between a UW and a hybrid? Is it just a oversized hybrid?
Well there’s a number of things. Shape, size, face material, sole design, flight characteristics, std length. Personally never been a fan of Callaway’s hybrid shape but their woods are fantastic.
You can tell Ian was in his absolute element. Fascinating insight into Jim's bag, one of the best I've seen 👏👏
I loved every minute!!
@ianfrasergolf so jealous 😄
Jim’s a great player and an even better person. I was Marketing Manager at Spalding for the Top Flite Strata (first multilayer ball) and Jim was a great ambassador for us !
A great conversation… We have a real appreciation for Jim Furyk’s contribution to the game!
I was watching Jim on the range at The Travelers Championship the evening before he shot his 58. He was so frustrated with his game. He was on the phone with his dad, and kicking balls all over the place. Pretty funny watching that, and the score he shot on Sunday. Crazy game! ⛳️🏌🏽♂️
Great video, best CC have done in a long while. Have always had massive respect for Mr. Furyk, this further enhances that.
Plz do more of this with different tour pros! But credit to Jim, he definitely thought through a lot with his equipments!
Best video I’ve seen in a long time!👍🏻 Seems like most of the younger guys on Tour know next to nothing about their equipment and simply count on their club reps to give them what is “best”.
Brilliant video. Really enjoyed that. Jim was very engaging and wanted to talk which makes a wonderful guest
One of my favorite tour players from the past
Man I love you digging in depth into bags like this for us equipment geeks. I wish this was a monthly feature video with various pro's discussing their setup with you and the reasons behind it.
most fascinating golf video I have ever seen on YT- great stuff, thank you!
Definitely one of my favorite tour players. Great video. Really shows whatever works for you. Those old X forged irons are great, I had a set about 2018
I love how thorough this was. So much detail and so many good nuggets of information. Jim is a legend!
Great content! Loved listening to Jim Furyk explain his setup and the whys.
Really interesting the amount of consideration made into each club - and ball.
His intel on CG in relation to blade length is 100000% of what we see on TOUR. It's definitely something to pay attention to.
I love that Jim really knows what he likes and it has a purpose for his individual game.
Best video in a while!!! just passion
Jim's awesome. Met him years ago at one of Johnny Miller's Tournaments. He's a whiz with his wedges. Love the thought he puts into all of his club choices.
Love my Callaway UW. Got kinda tired of hybrids, and not easy to hit a 5 wood 220 out of rough... But that thing is smooth!!
Absolute gem of a video!!

Furyk does the best job of all Pro's explaining his process.
Love the UW! I can’t wait to hit this thing on the course every time I play. Just feels super forgiving but also hot off the face.
I talked to him at congressional in 2000 during a practice round for the us open and he was so nice. great guy it seems
What Jim said I’ve been doing for years. New isn’t always better, play what works for your game.
This dude is the tops , scored the best round in history , won a major and did it all with a home made / unconventional swing = inspiration for every golfer on the planet - you don't need a swing like Adam Scott to be great ballstriker and tour champion !
That was very interesting. Could listen to Jim talk for hours.

Love jim !! What a legend. I remmever when he got his first major !!
Great to hear his thoughts on his equipment.
When he turned up at tour school everyone was laughing at his swing saying he had no chance. Legend.
Feels so good to be able to have my club setup
Pure gold
This was amazing
Probably the best all time WITB. Incredible

Great video. Ian looked to be in heaven talking equipment with Jim!
It’s so rare to speak with a tour player about the intricacies of equipment design.
Made my one and only (so far) Hole-in-one with a Pro V1*. That was almost 20 years ago. Surprised they've still got a stock of them.
That was fantastic.
That was good stuff!
I’m with you Jim let’s stop making heads bigger
💯
Brilliant video 👍 excellent Jim Furyk😎
Excellent !
Great guy real club expert.
Always seemed like a top bloke Jim Furyk 👍🏻
I never comment on videos. this was awesome
Great interview
What a good video, thanks!
For the PGA Tour pros it should be only 2 Woods with smaller heads, No hybrids, No utility irons. Then we would see who hits it the best.
Love this detail coming from the pros! Question for you, Ian along the lines of CG forward: I have the Qi10 and have searched to try and find a heavier weight for the sliding track in the front but haven't been able to locate one, do you know where I might find that?! Thanks!
great stuff
What determines when to use a hybrid shaft or an iron shaft? Hybrid shaft just for wood type hybrid heads, what’s the difference in the two shafts ?
Love these WITB videos. What is the driver shaft, motore speeder 6.2x?
Correct
Best part of the video is Matt Every grinding in the background.
very intelligent golfer and one incredibly nice guy
Great video, what is the driver shaft he"s using?
An old Fujikura Motore 6.2 X-Flex
Love the video but it’s hard to see what the driver and mini driver is.
Matt Every in the back?
What was the “old faithful” driver shaft?
Please can someone who knows about video deal with the crazy blown highlights?? The irons are nearly impossible to see.
One more Ian WITB for 2024 🤔
He just posted one on his new channel.
Anyone know what club we are at here?
Ian Poulter in the background?! 😅
Ian leave CC and focus on your new channel! Your such a good guy and I think you really dont know the dirty tactics of CC in the states. You deserve to be a part of something much greater!
Did he say Pro V ⭐?! Like from the early 2000s?? Does Titleist customize golf balls for pros? I would LOVE to play the ⭐!
Did Jim mention what ball he's currently playing?
He did..ProV1 star…it’s one of Titliest Tour only models.
ProV1 Star
@@dzaino1986 Thanks
My best finish was 19th in the Gittlen
Any one catch what model motore he uses?
Motors Speeder VC 6.2 X-Flex

It's a Fujikura Motore Speeder VC "X.2" probably a 6.2X, since that's what he used to play.
Thanks I wondered the same
Fuji Motore Speeder VC 6.2 X-Flex
@@ianfrasergolf very good video with Jim. Both the scramble and the WITB
@@GolfNut10 it was a fun day!!
“That (Driving accuracy) was always a strength of my game”
I’d say so, isn’t he the most accurate driver of the golf ball in PGA Tour history?
I doubt it. Funk and Peete are two names that come to mind ahead of him
What camera guy sets up a shoot with the sun directly behind his subject? Yeah.
So what shaft is in the driver? You never said......
Fujikura Motore Speeder VC 6.2 X-Flex
I hated Fuji for getting rid of the Motore VC line… best shafts in history
I also hate these enormous head drivers, even though I currently have one (Callaway Epic Max).

I wish you guys could see how gross 🤮 the offset is on those spoons Furyk has for wedges . They look insane.
When you can beat him then talk, why would you even care lol
@ it’s abnormal is all I’m trying to convey since I was actually holding those clubs a couple days weeks ago. If I could post pics I would. It’s shocking to look at , but if you that easily upset , that’s a Fuking you problem. 🫡
At one time he had the butt of the grip in his lower hand
Golf is repetitive, can you do it over and over and know where it's going, that's it...today's tech is crap other than hitting it longer (possibly?).
Random but is that Matt Every hitting balls in the background?
Looking at the action of his right (back) foot, I’d bet a nickel it is.
I believe it was Spencer Levine
First!
Definitely one of my favorite tour players. Great video. Really shows whatever works for you. Those old X forged irons are great, I had a set in about 2018
