@@NewNineGolf you probably could have reshafted the G 5 s and got the same results. I restarted mine from steel to mamiya graphite and what a difference.
Hi I am very dyslexic I restarted mine from steel to marijuana graphite and WHAT A DIFFERENCE thank you for the tip never enjoyed golf so much in the last 80 years ❤
Great video. I’m happy your dad said, “It comes down to price for me.” Exactly what manufacturers need to hear. Any full set over $600 is too much. The greed in this sport is infuriating.
He's right clubs are way too expensive and the only reason I'm still using the set I started with (Mp30s) which cost me £450 new in 3-pw. I would love a new set of mizuno 243s in 3-pw but I'd be looking at £1800 to buy them nowadays. Manufacturers are way too greedy imo and i can only see them getting more expensive unfortunately.
True, I’ve been playing for 20 years and finally got to buy a full set of fitted clubs this year. In the past I’d buy what was cheap and learn to hit them.
@@Alan-75MP 30s released in 2003. €450 in 2003 is equivalent to €1100 in today’s money. You still paid a good amount for your irons back in the day. You can get a brand new set of MP 241s for €1500 right now, or JPX923’s for less than that. Maybe slightly more expensive, but it’s not like golf equipment has gone up higher than anything else.
I'm sure glad I somehow landed here. My Dad was the one who got me into the game!! I lost Dad last May and in Sept while playing an event at Arcadia Bluffs I stepped onto the box on Dads favorite hole he always talked about. It's a stunner 171 carry over a deep gorge Lake Michigan looming and a beautiful evening I put Dads initials on the ball with a Sharpie and with roughly 20 guys standing around the green I hit a beautiful 7 iron big high baby draw the ball hit the green and I turned towards the cart to hear everyone erupt it went in!! My one and only ace and I hope i never get another!! I miss that guy and this video brought me pure joy. Enjoy your time my friend I hope you have a bunch!!!! Good stuff
@thomasbrady63 it was pretty special and I get the goosebumps thinking about it. I was sure glad it was witnessed by so many people until I got to the clubhouse and found out you have to buy a drink for everyone who saw it??? Arcadia Bluffs drinks are not cheap and I believe that hole in one cost me a couple hundred bucks but I would have paid 100k as it's my only Ace and it sounds weird but I hope I never get another!!! I want that to remain as special as it was
@NewNineGolf thanks man and it was bizarre as iam a 10hdcp and play a ton of golf and have come within inches many times but that's the first one that ever dropped !!Thank you PING for those I200's
This is my favorite video I’ve seen of an iron fitting and I’ve seen a lot of them! Great job! In reality your Dad is the perfect person to test equipment. His game resembles the lion’s share of players at the local courses.
I can see by the comments section many of us were moved by this video. Nice of you to treat your dad and I'm sure you feel it's a drop in the bucket for all he's done for you... as you mentioned. Great dad = great son = great video!
Your other fitting video with your friend was great. But this video with your Dad is by far one of my favorite videos of all time! Would love to see a video fitting him for a new driver and those hybrids. Now I'm thinking I should seriously get fitted. Your Dad, "See It wasn't my swing". 😆
Years ago I was on the ninth tee of a now housing development …I hit my driver ( par 4 ) , my ball turned out to be a worm killer, it stayed on the ground went about 20 yards and hit the women’s tee marker and came straight back at me and beyond.. Moral of this story is my buddies all yelled your still up…Soooo that is one time that I got to hit TWO IN A ROW.
I lost my dad a month before his 60th birthday ten years ago. I think about him every day. it was great to see this but it also reminded me of how much he did for me and how much I wish I could have repaid him. he was amazing I miss the shit out of him.
@@nancythompson3282 no he did not. but he taught me a lot. mostly just showed me how to be and what good looked like amongst many other things. he was just a really solid dude.
I miss my dad. I'm really happy that I was able to see him during my last PTO in January and play 3 rounds of golf with him. Thanks for uploading this.
Absolutely love this video! Some of my best life memories were playing golf with my dad. Keep building those memories and keep cranking out these great videos.. Bless you and your dad.
My dad is currently going through health issues and I just want to tell you I really enjoyed watching this video. Nice thing you did for your dad and it was fun watching you two work together. Thanks
Suggestion: senior flex graphite shaft in the 20 year old Pings + hands forward for comparison. Great interaction with your dad who is the guy you want in your regular retired Wednesday group.
These guys and gals who are posting here have a great deal to be thankful about their dads or moms that got them started in the great game of golf and mentored them to the point of building good confidence. My mom was a 2 handicapper, and a member in a sweet low profile country club in Southern Idaho. She started me and my 2 sisters in the great game of golf. From my mom, many people got into golf starting from her daughters and fanning out from there.
Very interesting. Im 61 and getting back into golf after 28 years of not playing. Im going for an iron fitting in 11 days to replace my 31 year old Pings.
I subscribed right away only because you fitted your dad and give them as gift in thank to his care of you. It's much more than just buy and give. What a great son!
I posted pretty much the same exact thing! There are so many great aspects of the game of golf. I vote for premium graphite for a man that age and handicap. Dad indicated he favored lighter clubs.
Wow, I missed the beginning, so I didn't see it coming... That was a sweet show of love & appreciation for your dad. You're a good son. He raised you right❤
I started golf at age 75 (3 years ago) and play at about the same level as your Dad. My clubs are old Mizuno blades from some 20 years ago. They are all I know as I have never been fitted. Your video makes me want to get to a fitting soon as I love the game. I loved the commentary and relationship between you and Dad. You both are clearly analytical and very nice to each other. That's refreshing. Your Dad has a great and consistent back swing. Hope my game gets as consistent as he is. Thanks for a great video.😊
Great video, I can actually relate to this fitting. Your dad is a great guy, I was lucky enough to work with him for a bit, he talked with great pride about you and golfing!
Lol. This is funny. I used to play Ping G5 irons as well. I upgraded to Sim 2 Max irons July of 2023. Big difference. I always described hitting my G5 was like I was hitting the ball with a piece of concrete. Even when I squared one up well the ball just felt "heavy" off the face of the iron.
What a heartwarming and insightful video! Watching the careful and detailed fitting process for your dad was not only educational but also incredibly touching. It’s amazing to see the technology advancements in golf clubs over the last 18 years and how they can make such a significant difference in performance. The decision to gift the set to your dad in the end was the perfect touch. It really shows the love and appreciation you have for him. This video goes beyond golf, touching on family, generosity, and the joy of sharing a passion. Can't wait to see more content like this!
Great reviewer. Refreshing to see these clubs hit my someone who is not a scratch golfer like most club reviews. I hope going forward you show more of these fittings with average golfers
I’m 60 yrs old. I went to buy a set of G430 this week he guy in the shop said I need to do a club fitting I was very sceptical but I did it. After 2 hours and having my heart set on the G430 I walked out with the Taylormade QI10 amazing clubs.
I was fitted this past week (first ever fitting) for driver. I was all set on the Ping G-430 Max......after the fitting, I wound up with the Callaway Ai Smoke with senior shaft. Incredible club.....
Just came across your channel as this video popped up in my suggested videos, and I gotta say that this was awesome. I just subscribed and look forward to watching more of your content. We need a video of you and your dad playing a round with his new clubs!
I really liked it when his dad “meowed” like a cat at 25:19 😂 I’d always laugh at my dad when he’d make silly noises like that. Yeah probably weird but that reminded me of my dad for some reason lol
this was very interesting for me as a 72 tear old higher hadicap just coming back to golf after some years out due to major op. Thanks for the excellent info. What a wonderful gesture at the end you just love your dad!x
Great video. I went through a fitting 2 years ago and was pretty exhausted at the end. Your dad did his best at the end of the fitting which to me proved you go it right!
Just stumbled across your channel. I'm five years younger than your dad, but he has a much better swing! More dad and son videos please - this was brilliant.
I really enjoyed the video. Good job getting the family involved…Also as someone who’s playing very old clubs I enjoyed seeing how the fitting process really helped get him more dialed in. Looking forward to the follow up for his driver fitting!
Not kidding when I say, this is the best fitting video I've seen. I wish I could get fit by you. To be fair, I've never been fitted before and if this is what is like, I would do it in a heartbeat. I can't imagine someone taking this much time to find what's right for each person. Awesome job and look forward to more.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. A fitting is definitely worth it. Find a good fitter in your area and they'll take the time to help you play better golf. Thanks for watching. 🍻
I got so invested in this video. Very enjoyable coffee session for me. Love the father-son relationship and the evolution of numbers over the fitting. Well done!
I’ve just browsed your channel for the last hour.. Really great videos!! It’s awesome to see a fellow Canadian in the RUclips golf space. Keep it up man!
That was really great!! I’m around the same age as your dad and am considering updating my irons that are also about 18 years old. I’d be going from TM TPs and am looking at the TM QI and will definitely want to look at the Srixon as well! Thanks again, really useful info! Also, good on you for taking care of the man that took care of you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a bit older than your dad, but in about the same circumstance, handicap, ball speed, trajectory, distance. Going for a fitting in Houston next Sunday, and hope to come out of it with similar results. Well done, and great present for your father.
OMG, your Dad is hilarious, best fitting video I've seen yet. I don't remember the quote but you blamed and issue he was having on his clubs and he said something like, I knew it had to be the clubs and not me (LOL)... Good to see in the comments that there are some great fathers out there I was also blessed with a great Dad and upbringing. Moms are the best but Dads come through when you need them most. Love this video.. ❤
Wow i watched this a few months back and loved it, but i wasn't looking at the TM Qi and i forgot the end result. Just got a professional fitting yesterday and i got very similar results - the Taylor Made fitted my swing best (I also have anatural draw). With the Qi i added 20 yards from my old 1980 Rams i play, and the consistency and accuracy was stunning. I'm 66 (your Dad is 65). So my wife bought me the Qi set as my retirement gift. I haven't been this excited to get on the course in 30 years! What a great concept video! Thank you.
I loved this fitting with your father. I learned a lot about the fitting process and how it takes a bit of data gathering to see what works. This makes me want to get fitted to find clubs that fit me. You two have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the great content, I enjoyed the real world testing and outcome of the fitting! Excellent! Great selection of clubs showing the differences.
The G5 where a great iron , I bought a set on a trip to the USA in 2005, only replaced them a few years ago with g410 irons , because the steel shafts went rusty. They should be making new irons with the degrees number on them , like wedges , the club number is no longer relevant
Such a nice thing to do for dear old Dad. It was fun to see what the various clubs did for his results. I’m 73. I don’t recall how old your Dad is, probably younger than me, but facing many of the same challenges as I. I also have clubs older than your Dad’s so the technology would most likely do me some good. I am coming back to golf after a 25 year layoff (for a variety of reasons) and trying to see if I can still play. Injuries on every round 😢 so far but the rounds have been a couple of years apart so who knows? Certainly some conditioning is in order. Anyway, it was interesting for me because I can relate to your Dad. Keep up the great content.
Welcome back to the game! My dad is 65 and these new clubs should be easier on his body, especially the graphite shafts. You should notice some big improvements when you hit some near gear. Thanks for the support!
I can completely relate to this video. I just turned 65 a couple days ago, am retired and I play approximately 20 year old Callaway X18 irons. This has got me thinking I need to look into getting fitted for some new irons as well. Thanks so much. New subscriber as well.
I was in the same boat as your dad. I had some old Palmer Peerless blades. I went to a retail and fitting shop, picked up a new Mizuno iron and was blasting it. Come to find out, today's irons are upright by 2 clubs of loft now. Also, in my day, we were swinging as flat as we could and sweeping the ball off of the grass. Now, the focus is on de-lofting the club and punching it. So, now you are talking about 3 clubs of difference in distance. In my young days, my 7 iron was 160 and now 185-190. It's kinda crazy.....
Great video. Showcases how everyone should get fit trying all the brands as results vary person to person, iron head to iron head, and shaft to shaft. I am definitely going to have to do that next time I get irons. Based on your Dad’s dispersion circles the qi distance gain and dispersion were awesome but I would have went with that amazing cobra dispersion circle all day. As a passionate every other weekend warrior I would love to end up with results like that.
Thank you! Ya totally. I always recommend getting fitted. Everyone makes good clubs these days. Just a matter of they work for you. Thanks for watching and the message. 🍻
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! Your dad is a lovely gentleman, & you were very good at explaining all the new technology to him. Well done & best wishes from Scotland.
That was awesome. Usually, I don't watch a whole video of hitting different clubs but since you had your Dad there it was interesting for me to see what the outcome was going to be. You killed it by gifting the set to your Dad. It says a lot about your relationship with your Dad. Great Video!!!
awesome awesome video and fitting your dad is great your great I'm 59 so close to his age with a 8 handicap I LOVE GOLF it was a nice improvement with the new sticks keep up the good work and I am very much looking forward to seeing a session with your dad and his new clubs cheers from Vulcan Alberta
So very cool 😎! You and you're father have such a great rapport ! Iam a little older than you're father , but this session really helped me understand how the club heads and shaft changes can make such a difference ! Thanks for this and I hope you show more posts with you're father , he's got a great sense of humor ! 😊
Just went with my dad to his fitting last week. He went from ping G2s to the ping G730s. Crazy how the tech has advanced. A shaft swap and he was drilling them all down the center. Makes me want to go get fitted myself to see if a change would help my game.
My son bought me a trolley, and I can feel how happy his dad would've been on getting the new clubs. By the way I liked the g5 irons, once I thought of buying these beautiful looking irons.
Just wanted to thank you very much for this video for two reasons one I enjoyed seeing you and your dad interacting in such a way and you doing those things with him and providing him with those irons as they get was just a wonderful gesture the other reason is that I am very similar to your dad however, a little bit younger, but have these similar swings and the similar issues that you were discussing with him I will definitely be checking these irons outand see how they perform compared to what I have now. Thank you very much.
Thank you! There nothing natural about wearing a microphone in front of lights and a camera but he was a really good sport about it. Appreciate you saying he looked comfortable!
Love this video, your Dad is a fun guy! I am also in Calgary and will be getting fitted at Modern Golf when I need new clubs again. So many people say they aren’t good enough to get fitted, such a counter intuitive approach to golf. This video proves that fitting can increase your success and enjoyment of the game. Been following your profiles for a while. Keep up the great work 😊
Play with my dad’s 1984 Ping Eye 2 black dots. Have had many other sets, always go back to the Pings. 12 handicap, can probably shave that to 9 with modern clubs. Lol
Love it! Same age as your father! What a effective swing he has! Hockey allso mentioned! We done same sports with my son! Takomo 101T head gives some extra meters and forgivines for fathers also and its cheaper. Just pick right shaft! All Best!

I agree, useful to me watching someone with a similar swing speed@@NewNineGolf
Brandon genuinely laughing at his Dad’s jokes is the wholesome content we needed lol
they are good dad jokes to be fair. I genuinely laughed as well... also a dad. Young one but still laughed.
Wonderful video. My dad has been passed now for 22 year, but this has brought a lot of memories back for me. Very touching.
Sorry to hear. I’m glad I was able to capture this to look back on.

Haha glad you enjoyed it! We can get him back for sure.
“The problem with golf is you don’t get to shoot 2 in a row” I’ve never heard anything more true! Awesome video

I can't imagine someone taking this much time to find what's right for each person. Awesome job and look forward to more.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. A fitting is definitely worth it. Find a good fitter in your area and they'll take the time to help you play better golf. Thanks for watching. 🍻
Congratulations to you both. Probably the sweetest you tube video ever. Absolutely wonderful. 👍
Thank you. Appreciate it. 🙏
I got so invested in this video. Very enjoyable coffee session for me. Love the father-son relationship and the evolution of numbers over the fitting. Well done!
Thank you!🙏 Glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve just browsed your channel for the last hour.. Really great videos!! It’s awesome to see a fellow Canadian in the RUclips golf space. Keep it up man!
Thank you so much 👊🏻
That was really great!! I’m around the same age as your dad and am considering updating my irons that are also about 18 years old. I’d be going from TM TPs and am looking at the TM QI and will definitely want to look at the Srixon as well! Thanks again, really useful info! Also, good on you for taking care of the man that took care of you!!
Thanks you! 🙏Glad you enjoyed it. Let me know what you end up getting.
Your dad is a pretty mellow fellow 😂. Love to see a hybrid fitting for him and driver. Very relatable to most swing speeds👍
Thanks! Will definitely get him back on for a hybrid and driver fitting.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a bit older than your dad, but in about the same circumstance, handicap, ball speed, trajectory, distance. Going for a fitting in Houston next Sunday, and hope to come out of it with similar results. Well done, and great present for your father.
Let me know how your fitting goes! Thanks for watching. 🍻
Well done dude awesome video to bring lots of joy to your dad. ❤❤
OMG, your Dad is hilarious, best fitting video I've seen yet. I don't remember the quote but you blamed and issue he was having on his clubs and he said something like, I knew it had to be the clubs and not me (LOL)... Good to see in the comments that there are some great fathers out there I was also blessed with a great Dad and upbringing. Moms are the best but Dads come through when you need them most. Love this video.. ❤
Great video 👍 hopefully it goes viral and your dads gets a new driver next 🎉
Fantastic! What a lovely dad you have. And awesome work with the fit and explanations, I think this will help tons of people.
Well done Coach Bill!
Wow i watched this a few months back and loved it, but i wasn't looking at the TM Qi and i forgot the end result. Just got a professional fitting yesterday and i got very similar results - the Taylor Made fitted my swing best (I also have anatural draw). With the Qi i added 20 yards from my old 1980 Rams i play, and the consistency and accuracy was stunning. I'm 66 (your Dad is 65). So my wife bought me the Qi set as my retirement gift. I haven't been this excited to get on the course in 30 years!
What a great concept video! Thank you.
Awesome. Good to hear!
Enjoy retirement and your new sticks! 🍻
@@NewNineGolf thank you. They have been terrific. Had my best round of the season yesterday. It helps that I'm not trying to hit it as hard.
Most enjoyable and informative..
I loved this fitting with your father. I learned a lot about the fitting process and how it takes a bit of data gathering to see what works. This makes me want to get fitted to find clubs that fit me. You two have a wonderful day.
Thank you! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it and definitely go for a fitting. You as well. 🍻
More Bill please! He is fantastic!
Thanks for the great content, I enjoyed the real world testing and outcome of the fitting! Excellent! Great selection of clubs showing the differences.
Thank you! Appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it. 🍻
The G5 where a great iron , I bought a set on a trip to the USA in 2005, only replaced them a few years ago with g410 irons , because the steel shafts went rusty. They should be making new irons with the degrees number on them , like wedges , the club number is no longer relevant
I tried the g25 and they were some of the best
I still game G5s. There is no new iron technology in the past 20 years. Just strong lofted.
Such a nice thing to do for dear old Dad. It was fun to see what the various clubs did for his results. I’m 73. I don’t recall how old your Dad is, probably younger than me, but facing many of the same challenges as I. I also have clubs older than your Dad’s so the technology would most likely do me some good. I am coming back to golf after a 25 year layoff (for a variety of reasons) and trying to see if I can still play. Injuries on every round 😢 so far but the rounds have been a couple of years apart so who knows? Certainly some conditioning is in order. Anyway, it was interesting for me because I can relate to your Dad. Keep up the great content.
Welcome back to the game! My dad is 65 and these new clubs should be easier on his body, especially the graphite shafts. You should notice some big improvements when you hit some near gear. Thanks for the support!
Those G5’s were a great iron!
I can completely relate to this video. I just turned 65 a couple days ago, am retired and I play approximately 20 year old Callaway X18 irons. This has got me thinking I need to look into getting fitted for some new irons as well. Thanks so much. New subscriber as well.
Thanks for watching and the sub. Definitely doesnt hurt to test out some new stuff. 🍻
I was in the same boat as your dad. I had some old Palmer Peerless blades. I went to a retail and fitting shop, picked up a new Mizuno iron and was blasting it. Come to find out, today's irons are upright by 2 clubs of loft now. Also, in my day, we were swinging as flat as we could and sweeping the ball off of the grass. Now, the focus is on de-lofting the club and punching it. So, now you are talking about 3 clubs of difference in distance. In my young days, my 7 iron was 160 and now 185-190. It's kinda crazy.....
Great Video.. I wish your dad good health and many many rounds with those beautiful irons. You are a good son….
Thank you 🙏🏻
All hail King of the dad jokes/humor…
His dad made me laugh without even telling a joke at 25:19
“Meow” 😸
Very nice gesture for you to do that for your Dad.I can tell his game will definitely improve. 😊
Great video. Showcases how everyone should get fit trying all the brands as results vary person to person, iron head to iron head, and shaft to shaft. I am definitely going to have to do that next time I get irons. Based on your Dad’s dispersion circles the qi distance gain and dispersion were awesome but I would have went with that amazing cobra dispersion circle all day. As a passionate every other weekend warrior I would love to end up with results like that.
Thank you! Ya totally. I always recommend getting fitted. Everyone makes good clubs these days. Just a matter of they work for you. Thanks for watching and the message. 🍻
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! Your dad is a lovely gentleman, & you were very good at explaining all the new technology to him. Well done & best wishes from Scotland.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. 🍻
Great video. Now take him to the course. I want to see him play with his new clubs.
Oh, and darn it, now I'm salivating for those srixon. Those are 🔥
Thank you! I'll definitely do that when the snow melts here. Haha
Ya those Srixons do look very nice.
That was awesome. Usually, I don't watch a whole video of hitting different clubs but since you had your Dad there it was interesting for me to see what the outcome was going to be. You killed it by gifting the set to your Dad. It says a lot about your relationship with your Dad. Great Video!!!
Thanks for watching the whole video. Appreciate you.🍻 Glad I was able to find him something he liked.
"Problem with golf is, you don't get to shoot two in a row." I feel that in my bones 🤣
Second golfer is best golfer.
You two made my day. Awesome thing to do for your Dad.
awesome awesome video and fitting your dad is great your great I'm 59 so close to his age with a 8 handicap I LOVE GOLF it was a nice improvement with the new sticks keep up the good work and I am very much looking forward to seeing a session with your dad and his new clubs cheers from Vulcan Alberta
Glad you enjoyed this one! 🍻
So very cool 😎! You and you're father have such a great rapport ! Iam a little older than you're father , but this session really helped me understand how the club heads and shaft changes can make such a difference ! Thanks for this and I hope you show more posts with you're father , he's got a great sense of humor ! 😊
First video I’ve seen. Subbed, so good. Love to see the appreciation for the good father. This is truly good stuff man
Thank You 🙏🏻
Just went with my dad to his fitting last week. He went from ping G2s to the ping G730s. Crazy how the tech has advanced. A shaft swap and he was drilling them all down the center. Makes me want to go get fitted myself to see if a change would help my game.
My son bought me a trolley, and I can feel how happy his dad would've been on getting the new clubs. By the way I liked the g5 irons, once I thought of buying these beautiful looking irons.
Just wanted to thank you very much for this video for two reasons one I enjoyed seeing you and your dad interacting in such a way and you doing those things with him and providing him with those irons as they get was just a wonderful gesture the other reason is that I am very similar to your dad however, a little bit younger, but have these similar swings and the similar issues that you were discussing with him I will definitely be checking these irons outand see how they perform compared to what I have now. Thank you very much.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and the message. 🍻
Great video and helped me decide between Cobra & Taylor Made QI.
Your dad is cool as hell too!!
Really enjoy the fitting videos, and your dad was awesome. Seemed like he felt super comfortable which made for a great video!
Thank you! There nothing natural about wearing a microphone in front of lights and a camera but he was a really good sport about it. Appreciate you saying he looked comfortable!
Heartwarming video. I know it was supposed to be about golf, but it was about much more than that. Thanks.
This was the best having your dad. It also was great as I could relate to his changes over time. Fantastic review and what shaft changes can do
Thank you. 🙏
Love this video, your Dad is a fun guy! I am also in Calgary and will be getting fitted at Modern Golf when I need new clubs again. So many people say they aren’t good enough to get fitted, such a counter intuitive approach to golf. This video proves that fitting can increase your success and enjoyment of the game. Been following your profiles for a while. Keep up the great work 😊
I really enjoyed this. Thank you. So good to see a great father son interaction. I’ve subscribed
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the sub! 🙏
What a great session! A lot of patience and technical knowledge! Great fitting!!
Thank you! 🙏
Eye2+ and zing2s for me. Shoot in the 80s consistently and still beat my golf buddies with their new modern irons. I do play a modern driver though.
The fact he hit his HIO ball on the next tee is dope. Just laid back live in the moment. Beautiful
Great session! So fun to watch you and your dad. I hope you don’t change that shaft. He hit nice gentle cuts. They will land softer as you know.
Thank you! 🙏
Play with my dad’s 1984 Ping Eye 2 black dots. Have had many other sets, always go back to the Pings. 12 handicap, can probably shave that to 9 with modern clubs. Lol
Incredible video! I love seeing all the details of you explaining why you’re thinking what you’re thinking. Do more of these!
Thank you! Shooting a follow up video with dad tomorrow!
Love it! Same age as your father! What a effective swing he has! Hockey allso mentioned! We done same sports with my son! Takomo 101T head gives some extra meters and forgivines for fathers also and its cheaper. Just pick right shaft! All Best!
