    Gaz, great video again. I've upgraded everything in the bag and have had the most success with the wedges. My short game went from a hope and a prayer to being very strong. Thank you for the entertainment and value. And the audio quality was excellent today.

    I've gone from free hand me downs, to spending maybe 200, to spending about 500, to having probably about what James spent in the bag right now. My best score came from the $500 set and just playing a lot.
    The biggest change hasn't been the score, it's been the enjoyment like you said Gary. I've found my custom fit clubs more enjoyable, and I have been able to make some shots I couldn't before.

    Watching how the shaft bent/loaded on the Golden Bear driver it's a surprise that either of you made contact with the ball at all. James will be far better served with his new set. Enjoy them and once you're fully used to how they play you'll be golden 👍👍👍

      It’s not whether he wasted his money, it’s about enjoyment. If he likes the new clubs, and they give him the chest puffed out feeling, what’s to worry about. Mind you, if he’s spent £2k, spend a few £ on lessons and maximise on his investment.

  • @stevenray8022

    liked the comparison Gaz. It might be cool to shoot a comparison with the approach shots and putts from the same spot and see which of James new clubs makes the most difference on the same shot. Though it is all about scoring.
    Thanks for the work guys!!

    @robintompkins8745 3 месяца назад

    Great video, I think the real gains come mentally, the new quality clubs give you that air of I can do this shot, whereas the starter set tells you maybe you can do this shot but if it doesn't work then it's oh well it was the clubs.
