    Love this. I love that you guys are even showing his bad strikes and then explain it. Hits home for 99% of us. Sometimes we get sick of Matty hitting straight 320 yard bombs 10 times in a row (or edited to 10 times in a row :) )

    I don't know about everybody else but when I see a golf video from anywhere else that's 15 minutes I'm thinking they need to shorten it. When I see 1 from TXG I'm wishing it was 30 minutes.

    Very interesting and informative. If I was Michael, I would have considered a revisit to the driver fitting after a bit of a "cooling down period." Perhaps, him hitting that many drives, in addition, to all the shaft combination many have put his swing to be "off" ideal performance capability. Especially given that he just got done with his iron fitting (which was fantastic). In short, once the wedge and fairway woods fitting are concluded, re-hit the final product...driver head & shaft combo, to insure all is as it should be. When I got my full bag fitting done, I took about 5-10 minutes between each club fitting to insure my body, swing and physical capability were on par. If you know what I mean. Looking forward to the coming videos and outcome.

      I can’t blame him for talking to himself the way he did, I prob would’ve done the same thing, it gets in your head know your swing is about to be on display for the whole world to see, plus it’s on a channel with freaking Matt pounding 330 down the middle

    I bought a GD AD-DI 6 S Shaft a few years ago and it was like a Noodle . My club fitter checked the frequency and it was basically in the Regular to borderline Senior flex range. I have been playing a Aldila Rogue MSI 110 Silver 65 stiff ever since and never looked back. I was told the GD AD-DI shafts play soft and I can say I agree.

      @YikesBikes every golfer has swing flaws. Using a fitting as a baseline is a really postive starting point for progression. If you're sure the equipment is right, seeking out help with those flaws becomes intrinsic and the progression continues.

    Now we see the value of an agnostic fit. The Mizuno head may have not been the best choice for Michael but in this case, you were handcuffed. It would of been nice to see how Michael hit other heads like the the EPIC and M5, etc. When I bought my new driver, I tried everything under the sun and the EPIC SZ was longer and straighter than anything on the market, for me. If I had been tied to one brand the results would have been less than stellar.

I hit the ST190 18 degree wood and carried it about 255 yards but I simply can’t afford a brand new club as I’m still in school. I was thinking about either a cobra F8 or Titleist 917 F2, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In fitting this guy you only talked about flex, you never talked about kick point or the point that the shaft releases the stored up energy in the swing, you should have had him try a high, mid & low kick point in the r,s,xs shafts because you can stiff the tip of the shaft to prevent torque loss and thats why mostly the stiffer flex shafts are used to prevent side spin, I bet a low kick point in a regular shaft would have gained this guy more yards with no loss of control.

  • @JUMBOpin
    @JUMBOpin 4 года назад

    So, a 9.5* driver is turned into a 20.9* at impact... since moving your ball so far towards your target on a drive results in such a LARGE amount of non-repeatability, wouldn't you just keep the ball more centered and give him a driver-sized 3-wood? In theory, that should solve a lot of issues, no?
