Thought this was just going to be a fun video watching some drivers off the deck, then Ian dropped some delivery dynamic nuggets on longer clubs that blew my mind! Definitely opened my eyes on to why I struggle with low hooks at the top end of my bag.
What a start to 2020. Can’t wait to see what TXG brings this year. Love the video!!!
listening to Ian explain the golf swing and how it relates to club fitting is always impressive, educational, and entertaining. I wish I could have him do my fitting... and Matty making driver off the deck look easy ! Nice.
What a great video to start the year and the decade thanks for all you do
The info on swing dynamics is really interesting. Never could understand why I couldn’t hit my driver and at my fitting at TXG it was clear I was delivering almost no loft and Ian’s explanation just made the light go off in my head as to how I can fix that with swing dynamics
Thanks for the deep dive on an issue I’ve had questions about!
Happy new year you pair. Looking forward to more good stuff this year.
TXG continue the great videos in 2020. Happy New Year. I really enjoy your videos every time
Ronald Westra all the very best for 2020 Ronald!! 👍🏻
Happy New Year Gents, love the videos. Great information as always. Asked for a swing like Matt’s for Christmas but got a hand cart instead. Guess I am going to have to keep working on mine. Ian I was wondering if you and Matt have ever considered doing a review of launch monitors. I am sure many viewers have the ability to hit at home into a net and would love to see some side by side testing between your set up and more affordable units available to see if one may suit their needs more than another.
Thanks and keep the great videos coming
This could literally be my favorite non-fitting video on the channel EVER! I’ve been struggling with 3 wood for months when previously I was a great 3 wood player. The change was in most of my game I’ve been hitting mainly high draws. So tried the drill from the IG story and boom 💥 absolute rockets off the 3 wood again!! Thanks Ian! So much value in everything video you do. What a great start to 2020!
damn I missed the IG story 😩
What was the drill?
Great explanation of the dynamic differences in golf swings
Great stuff, gents. All the best for 2020.
Your knowledge of the physics of the golf is insane! Great video
Long time I was asking for it! Thanks
One final comment - Come to think of it, I did successfully hit a driver off the deck on a dry fairway while playing in Myrtle Beach last year. I managed to reach a 535+ yard par-5 in two when I did this. I don’t come into the ball on a severely inside-out swing path, which I think helps me to “pick” the ball cleanly with a strong (13.5*) 3-metal, or the rare occasions when I have attempted to hit a driver from the fairway.
Could never understand why so many people fear the driver off the deck. Hitting a driver off the deck was a done thing when I was playing as a junior. Found out through trial and error how to hit it. First few, I placed it in the normal spot and all that came out were worm burners. Played it back in my stance once and it felt like I blasted that sucker into the ground but it ended up a pearler. Lesson learnt.
Now I understand why (not back then), but you guys throw in your 2 bob which makes it even more clearer.
Love this channel.
I love this channel
Love the Foley/Tiger in-to-out low point explanation
As a man who was brought up in St.Andrews I’ve used the driver off the deck a lot over the years. Especially into a headwind or on an upslope. Great to see the numbers behind it all. Cheers
Robert Skelhon great to hear Robert. You are the exact golfer this video was made for.
I have not hit a driver “off the deck” more than once or twice in the last three years, but back when drivers only measured 300cc to 360cc in volume, I did so frequently. I think that I will need to practice this shot a bit before heading to play golf in the northwest corner of England (Royal Birkdale and Liverpool) plus several links courses in Scotland in 2021, prior to attending the Open Championship at St. Andrews.
A dear friend of mine used to show me how to hit a great big Bertha driver with 7° of loft off the deck (grass no tee) with amazing results, he would stop at the top of his backswing and I had to call a shot which in turn he would produce I just stood in absolute awe .😲😲😲
Happy New Year! 🍻’s to going low in 2020 💪🏼
Welcome to TXG 2020 where we scare the hell out fairways and greens! Great video to start the year off, really want to see ya the channel reach 100k this year that’s a good goal but ya know what it’s going take ,hard work, so stop celebrating and get to work! 😂 Now wee Noah your going to watch this someday and I won’t be able to explain why Daddy doesn’t have a white board or teleprompter either, I’m praying he gets something soon otherwise your birds and bees talk is going to be the greatest father son talk ever, when Dad starts grabbing shafts off the wall! 👍
A new year, a new vlog and played nine holes this morning. Its a great day
deuce3811 We’re super jealous!! Happy New Year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
PS I have only tried to hit a driver off the fairway once, it wasn't a success. I hit the deck a foot before the ball, took a divot the size of Salford and the divot travelled further than the ball. My playing partners were sworn to secrecy and we told the Groundsman that vandals had been attacking the 16th with shovels!
...and that's why you are the BEST!!!
You should test the Taylormade RBZ 3 wood against some of these modern drivers, the RBZ has a bigger head and longer shaft👍
Well done, maybe the best golf video I’ve ever seen. Have you thought about having someone like Sasho MacKenzie discuss golf biomechanics on your podcast? Happy New Year!
Absolutely, would be a great guest
Very cool technical look at it. Definitely depends where and what conditions you are playing in but taking driver off the deck would seem low percentage unless you practice it often.
Happy new year guys. I’d love to see low lofted 3 wood at 48”. Reckon Matt could send one 350 whoop whoop
very good video. Thanks for sharing.
👍👍
Driver off the deck is a OMP signature shot
GO OMP!
I remember seeing this 10 degree 2 wood, that would be the best of both worlds for this type of shot
Very informative video!... although I had to watch it twice to fully comprehend lol.
Came immediately after getting the upload notification 👀
Great video! Now you're just messing with us, so how about a video on Matt's swing thoughts and swing mechanics!!!
Happy new year guys ! Ive hit driver off the deck, ball flight is basically a low power fade, so I open my stance and let it rip
Stephen DiBari Atta Boy Stephen!! Nappy New Year to you, thanks for all your support we really appreciate it!!
Ian Fraser still blows my mind how Rick Sheils has nearly 750k subscribers and you guys only have 55k !! I think his channel has been around for at least 5 years maybe as much as 10 years and i give him credit, he is an excellent product reviewer, but you & Matty take to it another level ! You have so much knowledge with shafts, golf fitting and your reviews/head to heads are amazing! Looking forward to another great year!
PS. I had rotator cuff surgery on 18 Dec, I’m home resting ,cant start rehab/PT untold at least 2 more weeks so looking forward to your product reviews. Come spring time , ill be swapping out my F9’s to the G410+’s. I need a more forgiving head. Also I’ll be moving out of the Callaway Apex Pro Forged 19’s into Ping i210’s for better distance consistency and tighter dispersion. And out of Vokey SM7’s into Ping Glide 3.0’s. (54 & 58 deg). Sticking with U wedge (50 deg) in the i210’s
All the best,
Stephen
Happy New Year fellas!!
Chris Champion HNY Chris!!
Great little test... for me though it's more about confidence in the shot. It'd be great to rip a low one off the deck into a headwind, but going with a stock 3-wd/ 5 wd has a higher percentage of staying in play/ going more than 10 yards. Based on Matt's numbers, it didn't look like it would be beneficial at all to even attempt that shot, regardless of course conditions. The possible number of outcomes is just higher
I would like to see this comparison with the Taylormade 300 Mini Driver 13.5 vs 3 wood.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 vlog
Ian - i play driver off the deck fairly regulary ie links / windy conditions and have always practiced it at the range when driving.
People build it up to the "mission impossible" shot - why it is just another shot you can learn. The kids when i am on the range are like wow have seen this I remember even Rory on a vlog infront of a crowd building it up . I have always been able to play this because it was just another shot!!!
I do not think it is a holy grail shot just that coaches do not teach it! Soap box moment over 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Craig Edga4r totally agree and I would even say if you know how to play it, it can be a safer shot because it’s easier to control any curvature on it
@@samfowler9018 the problem is Sam when instead of trying skirt the ball from the turf they think they have to dig it out come over the top and slice it. Then they say its rubbish and will never go back to it again!
Happy New Year lads, good to see you back 👍🏻
Talking a little bit about Aus, Marc Leishman hits a great driver off the deck. Good example in the link below:
twitter.com/EuropeanTour/status/845027910377340928
It’s probably more of an option now due to the condition of the courses as it is so dry and hard over here at the moment due to the drought and now fires... I’m not directly effected by the fires as I live in Sydney but my heart goes out to those who are... south of Sydney is a mess.
When you need a big low slice that runs. Softer shafts make it harder to repeat.
Great golf nerd, club fitting porn guys. I almost feel guilty for enjoying it so much. Thanks for the great insights at the end, Ian! - Dave
Back in the days of the Titleist 975 JVS and 983k I didn’t carry a 3 wood because of how easy those drivers were to hit off the ground. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to replicate that success with later models due to their size.
Put one of them back in ur bag as 3w
@@lifesaver3499 no shaft in the head anymore lol
First.......bringing that back for 2020
Conventional wisdom says launch angle is always less than dynamic loft, but I occasionally get a launch angle of about 50 degrees with my driver with the good old 'pop-up'.
Strangely I've always been a bit flippy with not much shaft lean if at all, but have always been ok with the driver off the deck.
dan good timing is great equalizer!!
@@ianfrasergolf Yeah, that makes sense, If my timing is off I rapidly go from a 10hc to a 20hc, It's painful.
Hi Guy's,Could you make a video with a Steel KBS shaft Vs the KBS TGI graphite shaft? if possible with a cobra one length club :)Thanks for 2019 , and looking forward to watching you in 20 :)
I hit driver off the deck often enough. For me it’s a big kick cuz most of my playing partners licking their chops thinking I’m an idiot and they will won the hole and then BAM! I pull off the shot.
Seriously, not a tough shot. I usually only use it when I’ve got a wide open fairway, aim left and just stay super smooth on the shot. Even a terrible shot off the deck goes relatively straight.
When are you guys king more gear reviews ?
Caleb Ross ?
Ian Fraser I meant making. When are you guys making more club reviews ?
Lots coming soon 👍
280 carry driver off the deck, ok Matty I've seen it all now.
Matt is hitting driver off the deck further and straighter than 90% of amateurs teeing it up 😳
I’ve never hit a modern driver off the deck, I would hit an original King Cobra or Big Bertha all the time.
Guarantee that driver would run out way more on course. Please test in the real world. You’d be surprised the difference in results I’m willing to bet.
I certainly would not advocate attempting to hit the driver off of a fairway on wet, mushy turf.
dougmael agree
Letterkenny. Pitter Patter.
Don’t think you will get same results off fairway.
David Lewis depends on the deliver of the player.
Ian Fraser referring to the perfect lie from the mat (not the Matt).
David Lewis that’s where low point comes into play David. If you’re slightly negative with your Angle of Attack and not too much from the inside then the club will strike the ball before it comes into contact with the ground. As we mentioned in the video this isn’t something everyone should try but as you can see by the other comments, many people use driver off the ground to good effect.
Thanks Ian. Going to start working on it off the mat in the winter.
David Lewis great David, let us know how it’s going!! 👍🏻
A guy who hits his 3w so far prob never needs to hit dr off the deck..get more of a reg golfer.
300 yards with a 3-wood? Why even carry a driver? Add another wedge.
Todd Ders MATT Is a beast, carrying 330 yards with driver. Amazing
