I live in Japan and have changed clubs 5 times in 2 years. Am now with Paradigm but miss my TSR3. This video made me want to fly to this guy and have him work with me. Translation could be causing problems. Thanks for this and your teaching changes my iron game completely. Thank you.
I can only vouch for myself that properly fitted clubs make ALL the difference in your game, especially when you're trying to craft a good, proper swing. If your clubs are not fitted to the way your body moves as you swing, meaning how your hands/arms hang, your loft/lie angle etc. you are wasting your time, and your money. Great vid Chris.
I’d strongly suggest it! I will admit, I have for many years, told my students to wait till the swing changes were closer to completion BUT I admittedly know better now and would suggest people get fit. Golf clubs can change the way you try and swing very quickly and can make changes very difficult to get locked down if the club isn’t responding to the inputs. Thanks for watching.
I want to get new irons (I got Wilson D7’s off the rack four years ago) but the last couple months I’ve completely fallen apart. My swing is totally messed up. There has to be SOME baseline of a consistent swing for a fitting to work, right?
I wanted to like it. I really did. The numbers were actually pretty good. The feel out of the center of the face didn’t feel like it was going to produce the numbers that it did. I think the feel that it produces is more of an “acquired taste” sort of thing and it wasn’t lining up with what I wanted to feel over the long term.
Awesome stuff! Shows me I definitely need to get fit again. I’m swinging it 118-121 and only flying it around 260 and it’s backing up on the fairway. My swing is a big reason for that, but I’m sure a good fitting would help too! Thanks for the video.
Straight moving it. I am doing some speed training right now to see if I can get back up to 118ish and beyond. I clocked 115 last week consistently, but it felt like I popped a vein out of my head doing so. We shall see!!!
@@MyGolfDNA hahaha, I actually did the same on Saturday. I popped a 131 with no weights in the Rypstick (which has been fantastic for me by the way - my baseline is up from 101 July 6th to 122 Saturday), and my left trap and neck went into convulsions lol. With your metrics you’ll be really putting it out there at 118. My steep angle will take a lot longer to fix 🤣
@@lucky7s-mi3sh that is straight moving it and grooving it!!! I’m going to get out the icy hot just thinking about it. I’ve never heard anything bad about Ryp. I haven’t tested it at this point but I’d love to mess around with it and see how it stacks up against the other big 2 in the game.
@@MyGolfDNA hahaha, i had to go to a pool party with my girlfriend that afternoon and rolled it out with the lacrosse ball the whole way up 🤣. Do you have Instagram? I’ll add you and I can get you in touch with Luke and maybe y’all can work something out.
@@lucky7s-mi3sh ummm whoa! 131 is naughty and a territory that I’ll probably not get to dabble in at 41 years of age. I haven’t rolled out Instagram yet. We are rolling out the last 2 phases of the website before I roll out the other socials. Email is in the description. Would love to talk to him. Thank you!!!
My last club fitting was in 2012, and didn’t seem to get the bank for the buck. I don’t expect your kind of results. ( 31 yds) but you would like to stand on the tee with the knowledge that your equipment isn’t costing you yds. Enjoy driving past your old mile markers , to your new approach distance, Chris. ( good stuff)
Ball speed is king! It was nice to see that the club data stayed consistent across the board and the only thing that really changed was the trajectory, ball speed, spin and distance as result.
I had a blast watching this. Just one thing. Next time can you try to get Clay to keep the club fitting to about 5 minutes? That’s about all people’s attention spans will allow. 😁
🤣noted. Everything I do these days is done in 5 minute increments. I said that kind of like Vin Diesel when he says he lives his life a quarter mile at a time. Same sort seriousness in the tone.
I teach out of Hawks Landing at the World Marriott Center and I don’t play in anything at the moment. I am starting to get the itch to maybe play some competitive golf again. Need a lot of work to get sharp around the greens again though.
Great fitting. I must say I don’t agree with the SST puring pitch. This has been tested many times and has been shown to have negligible if any difference in performance. Especially true with the quality of today’s shafts. This process can cost $40-80/shaft. That’s an expensive placebo.
What I would love to do is have 2 identical drivers built one with and one without the SST Pure and put it to the test on GC Quad. In fact, I might actually do that. Sounds like you and I are one in the same, I prefer to see the data on things before I give it the full thumbs up.
I don’t like how you test with an unpured shaft that you like and then order a pured shaft that will definitely not spec the same as the one tested! That’s where this whole fitting process goes a little bogus for me. Don’t get me wrong the video content is epic as always: I even like it!🙏🙏🙏
Well I’m only half way through the video but it looks to me that the Ping is the right club. Yeah you get more distance with the TM but your fitter is right, the farther your miss the harder it will be to find your ball. I’m thinking the Ping is your club. Better miss but still long.
Bingo. Miss dispersion was just as tight as the Cleveland that was spinning off the map (in play), but a lot faster off the face which is I really needed. Thanks for checking out the video.

I Definitely need new clubs but the cost is astronomical . I guess I will have my existing clubs checked to see if they need to be re fitted.

@@MyGolfDNA You really love you some F&F. Are you a car guy? Got anything in the garage that you swear you'll get started one of these days?
@@jasonkelley6185 I just lack originality so I use movie quotes. So says the wife:)
@@MyGolfDNA Ha! Shared experiences are the best experiences! Speaking of wives... I've got some chores if I'm going to get a golf pass anytime soon...
What is your home course ? Do you play state events "?

@@MyGolfDNA May I suggest some Chris Ryan RUclips vids? He seems to have a handle on how to improve in those areas.
