This fitting process blew my mind. The idea of getting more forgiveness for his particular swing by going to a blade over a thicker sole in the 919 forged is amazing. Overly impressed!
Me to I've never had a custom fit club didn't think there would b that much to gain
Honestly does anyone ever get anything short of an excellent fit from TXG? I’ve seen dozens of these videos now and every time it seems Ian and Matt can get the best out of the customer. Gotta be one the top fitters in the world!
We are all so extremely jealous !! not only to win some of the best irons around but to get them fit at TXG.. for free !!!!! ahhhhhh
Awesome to see the blades performed so much better for Michael. Dispelling the myth that they're "only for tour pros". The turf interaction is something that's often widely ignored. Great job, once again. Best golf channel on youtube for educating us hacks, lol.
I’m so jealous of Michael at the moment of watching this. This is so what I want to have done with my set up.
Michael has a lovely swing for an older guy. I love this fitting. Such attention to detail. This is a service I would love to get. Well done again, love the channel
This fit smashed any ideas I had around strike/forgiveness and club head. Any other fitter I know would’ve gone “let’s have a look at the Hot Metal” so impressive!
You addressed a normally overlooked aspect in the fitting process. Namely the turf interaction of the club. Good catch! It certainly changed the direction of the iron selected in the fitting.
What a great day for Michael, Congrats on the new set from the best fitter around. What a prize! More Contests please.
Really enjoyed seeing you fit someone who is of similar ability to a lot of us out there. Makes me interested in trying a combo set. Looking forward to the rest of the fitting.
May I suggest this could be your best Fitting vid yet!
It would be so easy to hate Michael, but he seems such a nice guy I'm sure that we can forgive him just this once. Once he found his rhythm he has a really nice swing as well...................wishing that I hadn't had "Mizuno/TXG Competition Winner" tattooed on my willy though 😲🤦♂️
A new set of Mizunos, fit by TXG.Must feel like a kids Christmas morning 🎄⛳
Awesome and looks like Ian got some new gear. Nice to see an international customer who currently plays Mizuno fly to Toronto to be fitted by Ian. What a great prize in the Mizuno’s. We’re all envious.
Finally getting to watch this series. Just FANTASTIC! I know he was nervous, but you were so patient and you could see his swing and confidence improve. And of course, Mizzy for life!
Congratulations Michael! You appear to be a more than deserving winner! Love how Ian was not afraid to place blades in the hands of player not shooting par every day! Performance reigns supreme!
This is a great example for the average golfer; even guys like me, seniors who are higher handicap golfers. Can't wait to see the follow-up videos.
Also I think this was the best club-fitting ive seen from anyone. I actually learned a few things with this one. Impressive stuff.
His ball striking is excellent. Playing those MP60’s (I had a set of those back in the day) has really got him dialed in
Great video. Seeing Michael hitting the MP20's made me miss my MP32's. I'd like to learn more about how the narrower blade helped his turf interaction better than the wider sole. I would have guessed the opposite.
Ian on TXG this week.......ITS MORPHING TIME!!!!! Love the GG jacket. Always good fun to watch.
Congrats Michael... incredible content guys. As usual.... I tried getting in with Ian in a fitting and was told it's a 3+ month wait period. Time to clone the wee SCOTT!!!
The more I watch you guys the more a see how very limited most of our commonly available “custom fits” are. The depth of knowledge you have is amazing.
Bravo. What an experience that gentleman had. He had a solid swing as well. I’d be too nervous. Hats off to you two.
amazing fitting! I truly believe you have to be one of the top 10 club fitters in the world, Ian!!! I wish I was closer to you to get a fitting. Just recently got fitted into my Mizuno MP-20 SELs and I adore them!
*books flight to TXG*
Great video. The knowledge you guys have is insane
Soooooo Jelly.. hard to watch without shedding a few tears 😢
The txg experience is officially on the list of must do life experiences. Great job guys.
Bucket List stuff but I'm out on the West Coast - Vancouver area unfortunately.
Great fitting session there gents. Really good. It would have been fun to see what the Mizuno Optimizer would have come out with, in regards to shaft options 👍🏻
I love seeing in depth fitting sessions
Great content...thanks... and full credit to Michael for agreeing to be filmed
What a shirt Ian! You got a part time gig as a Jockey? Lucky guy getting that free fit and clubs... Living the dream
Absolutely love this. When he says about how golf clubs cost a lot and how this is a dream for him is absolutely superb. Well done TXG. When I get back to Toronto I’m going to come up.
A bucket list fitting right, lol.
What a great video. Well done Michael, I think my nerves would have got the better of me knowing I was on film.
I hope other fitters watch the standard of your sessions. So good to watch. Had a fitting in Dubai a few months ago and not nearly to the standard you’re setting. 👍👍
A proper club fitting. It just demonstrates to me how short changed the vast majority of us get when going to get fit. Most fitters wouldn't dream of putting an 8 handicap in a set of MP-20s and never think about combo sets either. I got fit for the 919 forged in the modus 120's and I've lost distance consistency with interaction with the turf, might have to look at these myself.
Michael, great job!!! You did the fans proud, sir. What a great swing, too
Nippon Modus 3 is a beast of a shaft! I got fitted in the 105tour stiff and love it !!! best feeling ever!
This was great to watch even if Michael is not my favourite person in the world right now. Mizuno blue, more like green with envy.
What a video. Couldn't be happier for Michael, comes across as such a nice man. He now has a fantastic set of irons to go with his superb swing.
The fitting is incredible guys, I'm in the UK but would love to get custom built with you guys. I'm going for a proper full fitting in December over here and this video has me really excited as I'm sure my current Ap1s are complete wrong for me as I've improved alot. Great video as always boys. Keep um coming and congratulations again to Michael. Thoroughly deserved.
You need to turn the Mic’s up. Ian’s shirt is too loud. ;)
🤣
👏🏼
8 seconds into the video and I am suddenly blind.
Nice one. :)
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Way to go Michael! As the fitting went forward, you started to feel more "in the zone" resulting in a more consistent stroke. I have a feeling, as you move forward to your other clubs your results will be even better; on behalf of all the TXG fans: Best wishes. Moreover, I/we look forward to the other upcoming videos. Again, congratulations on the win!
Mr Fraser & Mr Blois, you both are gifted being able to see a ''golfers'' imperfections and then give them better days on the links. I would love the chance to get fitted by any of your staff. Thanks for the great videos.
I enjoyed that so much, it relieved the sting of not winning! Thanks for letting us experience the thrill vicariously! Congrats Michael!
Michael you have a very beautiful swing. Awesome experience man hope you aren't self-conscious about it you did great. Showed us exactly what most of us would have experienced. Some good and some bad. You had a lot of good...!
These 2 guys are unbelievable fitters and ball strikers. I wish I lived in Canada. I am a 3-5 hcp and have decided to get a proper club fitting. Never have had one in the past. Me and my wife are now proud owners of a golf course so will hopefully be playing more golf. Closest club fitter to me is club champion. I can only hope they are half as good as these gentlemen. Always a pleasure to watch !! 👍👍👊👊
Need to know it went considering they are Club Champion now?
@muntjunk-plk3171 I should have gone to Canada 🤣🤣.
@@russbrown9286 Hahaha
Hard to watch, so envious.... BUT grateful you guys are in town. Pumped to get a gapping session and a fairway wood fitting in the future.
This is kind of a dream come true. Ian you are a genius!. If you would have a franchise here down in Spain.....
This is so cool for Michael, I'm happy for him. Have had myself been fitted just recently here. But if you guys ever open a branch in Europe and are in the shop, I'll be your first customer :) Keep going, for me you are the most informative and enjoyable channel at the moment!
It was very interesting to see how you guy’s explained everything! I’m playing Bridgestone J33 combos for over 10 yrs and love them but have never been to a fitting! Awesome to see the breakdown, great job!
Man this guy is extremely lucky!! I really need to start entering these types of contests and such! Maybe the golf gods will shine down on me for a club fitting like this!! Congrats Michael!!
Matt and Ian: why did you not explore keeping him with the MMC for his full set as he was very consistent with them? Is it because the MP-20 has a thinner sole to help with long-term turf interaction? Michael mentioned the feel of the blades was better, but perhaps consistency is more valuable than feel? I guess this varies from player to player.
Thanks for the video and congratulations to Michael for the clubs and exceptional fitting!
He hit the blades more flush, better turf interaction and consistency of strike
I was 100%same- i strike blades better despite being an average player. thinner sole helped me massively. also having a "blade" made me really focus and concentrate on strike which i guess helped a lot too.
incidentally i play in florida too- so i wonder if thats partly why i like the narrow sole too, since you mentioned florida turf.
Really enjoyed that. Loved seeing the way Ian molds the club to fit his game. Very well done. Nothing feels like a Mizuno. Love my JPX 900 Forged with graphite shafts,
I am unbelievably jealous of Michael, and that has only happened a few moments in my life. You two are amazing and do great things for the sport of golf.
Like to see how he gained confidence when the club started performing. He gets on his lead side well! Matty, does Ian give you homework after the videos? You are becoming an expert man! Good stuff guys 👍
Incredibly jealous of Michael, but this only makes me more excited to get up there one day in the future! Also love seeing a peak at the combo set fitting process, it's something I am incredibly interested in for myself
Thanks, TXG. We all love what you do for Golf. Dreaming of visiting yall in Toronto.
This guy was so lucky. I work 50 hrs a week take care of my three kids alone have so many bills I can’t even afford any clubs. One day hopefully I can get a nice set of irons man. I want to hit the course so so bad. My dream is to own one nice set in my life time. Great videos and congrats man on winning.
Wish you guys were in the UK. Would live to go through a thorough fitting process with you both. Love all the content you put on RUclips. Keep up the good work.
This was great. Loved to see how you approach fitting for a combo set. What a great opportunity for Michael. Can't beat it.
What a treat to get a full bag fitting by the legend himself! Great vid and great contest guys. Hope to see more of this as the channel grows.
It is great to someone that is a ‘normal’ golfer getting fit to see the process for someone much closer to my skill level.
My favorite video yet! A Toronto fitting trip will be in my future!
A++++! Such a great video... can't wait for the rest of his fitting and all the pearls of wisdom from Ian and Matt!
Not only a good golfer but an LSU fan? A man after my own heart. Congrats man!!!
Thanks, it was a blast! Geaux Tigers!
Amazing contest and amazing conclusion to have him come and get fit. Really great for the viewers to get to see you fit a random golfer that's not going to pure everything and work your magic. Great job by Michael too for performing so well under the microscope on the big stage. It's not easy. Just can't say enough about this channel. I won a free full bag fitting this year as well and it completely unlocked my game.
Interesting fitting. This and Mark Crossfields recent video on "Improvement Irons vs Blades" taking D-Loft into the equation is making me seriously question what type of irons I should go for next, even as a high handicapper. My iron strike is pretty good in terms of location. The "turf interaction" comment from Ian is an eye-opener.
Interested to see through the rest of the fit if you investigate whether it would be worth Michael looking at Hybrids in the 4 and 5 instead of the irons.
Great video guys!! 👍 Michael is a lucky chap and also came over very well 👏
Looking forward to seeing the next vid 👍
That Galvin Green woke me up ie after driving 3 hrs to home!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🎀🎀🎀
Great video! So cool watching Ian chase forgiveness in ways people rarely think about!
Great video. Every time I watch one of your vids makes me want to book a fitting over the winter. I don't think I can get this kind of detailed experience near me.
always look forward to your vids. bit of a geek when it comes to golf and how things work, so always find these vids so informative.
So sad I didn’t win this contest. Mizunos are my favorite clubs and to get fitted by the best in the game would have been amazing.
Please get good players to try graphite shafted irons more tho... I truly believe they are now better for most decent/average players than heavy steel poles they think they should have!
Soon up to 55k subscribers especially getting back to showing what txg is all about great fitting
Congrats to Michael! What a great experience and thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely a brilliant video, well done too all concerned 👍👍👍.
The mass of the heads will be the same (or pretty similar), but the CG location of the blade will be much closer to the shaft, creating less moment (Mass * Distance). A larger moment due to CG being further of the shaft will create more toe droop, just like we see in the video (or the shorter CG distance drooping less, in the case of the MP20). A very interesting observation of physics in action!
This CG dimension also has some interesting effects on the clubheads resistance to rotation about the shaft axis (rotational MOI).
Wish I could get fitted, What a lucky man!
Appreciate the work you guys do
I've been playing ap1s for 5 seasons now and I've improved a decent amount. 9 handicap now. I've been struggling with turf interaction more than anything with my irons. I'm excited to try the hmbs or mmcs and see if it helps!
Another giveaway would be nice for Christmas with all this going on!! Keep it up guys..
Very satisfying to watch you get to where you got to. Like precision engineering 👏
Wow - absolute fitting wizardry.
I’m glad the winner could make it up to get fitted. I had no idea the mmc were stronger lofted. Will you weaken those?
Yes, we'll weaken the 4/5 iron to blend the set
such a fun video to watch! Congrats Michael!
After seeing this and reading comments I realize the fitting I had in 1978 will have no bearing on anything I do today because the heads and shafts are all so different. I thought my lie, length, and kick point would remain fairly constant over the years, despite the components.
Fitting has come a long way for sure Doug!
What a lucky guy. Looked like an incredible experience!
if you want to ever fit a lefty, than I am in...Quick flight from Edmonton :)
I’m a firm believer that anyone can play blades! I’m a 11 handicap that started at 20+. I felt like my old Adams super game improvement clubs held be back because of the bounce into the turf. I love my Mizuno MP 4
Congratulations again Michael and good for Mizuno and TXG for an amazing giveaway! Probably a good thing I didn’t win cause if I was in the TXG house I would have been into everything like a 3 year old! Well done boys and Micheal do us a favour and tell us how your year progresses on Your Tour sponsorship! 👍
Could you post a fitting with a young mid or low handicap ( 18-25yo ) ? because most of your fittings videos are awesome but features either Mat who can play heavy shafts and is a very good ball striker, or players with a lot slower swing speed. I don't know if you have a lot of clients in this category but that would be super cool to have a bit of a mix.
Keep up with the great content you guys are killing it, your videos are so interesting for golf geeks like us 🤓
When i saw that Mike from Florida won your contest I thought it was me being a Mike from Florida as well lol. What a great video I just wish it was me in it!
Go gators
I'm surprised that the HMB didn't enter the conversation. From all of the testing I've seen, the HMB appears to be the most beloved of the entire MP20 lineup. Visually, I'd drop the MMC from the lineup. It really doesn't look like it's a part of the family. It may be a long lost cousin. But, awesome for Michael to win the contest and to come up to TO for a fitting with the best in the business.
sole width is the reason HMB wasn't a good fit for Michael
I wish ....brilliant video.
Best fitting video yet boys!
Top top stuff as per usual
awesome he won the set as this was his brand and he seemed ready for good fitting and update/upgrade! :-)
This man has a really nice swing.
Great video guys, explained so well and one lucky guy.
Great video, glad he managed to get a fitting in the studio with you guys. Let’s us see what we’re missing.😔😔😂😂😂
So Jelly!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!! 👍⛳️🏌️
