Let’s not lose sight that the 101’s are lofted stronger than the 301’s, so that coupled with a lighter weight shaft will contribute to more distance. The 101’s really suited Pete’s slower swing speed helping him optimize each shot.
Always glad to see Pete... Sorry someone took your clubs... Let's get Pete fitted for some clubs... Speaking of club fittings, I'd love to see Mr. Barlow fitted with a set... Enjoyed the video... Cheers guys...
Level par with irons only! Sensational play Pete, Takomo 101’s with those OMP shafts are the clubs for you eBay and Wesley Bryan just shot a 10 under round on the PGA tour with Takomo 301’s……great clubs!
Informative vid. Nice to see Pete back on the channel seems a while since we have seen him. Hoping to see some competitive golf including eBay and Mr B and the rest of the gang. Looking forward to see the conclusion of the hidden gems!
Well done Pete, you are striking the ball really well and putting like a champ. That English weather looks atrocious, it makes me appreciate the beautiful conditions we have here all year round in sunny Queensland Australia.
I've had blades , muscle back and cavity back clubs . Blades I used last year when I was playing off 11 my thoughts are you need to middle it every time to get the full affect and also have a higher ball speed to get the correct distance. Pete being a senior could play with a bladed club but on a lighter shaft. My preference would be muscle back irons more forgiving and at the end of the day you want to compete and make the game easier 💪🏻💚
That was a great video ... im sure that has offered some good information to some of the golf mates subscribers, sorry to hear Pete had his clubs stolen, some really sad people out there... 😠 However, a great demonstration from a versatile golfer, nice one guys 👍 keep up the great work Team Golf Mates ⛳️
Game improvement feel better on miss hits, but actually drop more distance from off centre strikes due to their hotness from the middle only. Forgivness is just feel and good marketing.
It's largely the shafts, with a little assist from the loft differences. Quite possible Pete would benefit from a mixed set with the 301s at 9-PW-gap, and the 101s for his 5-6-7-8s with same shafts in all.
Well done Pete, some great golf.....it seems to me blades work if you are a consistently good ball striker, therefore it’s likely that a mid handicap player would be better served with more forgiving clubs...( that’s also me by the way)
I love Northern....oops sorry, wrong vid.. Interesting vid. I would have thought Simon would have had longer shafts as well? I always fancied a combo set. Forgiving longer irons and blades shorter. Maybe another vid?
I'm not sure the putts should count as for or against either club. Reaching the same place (green) in the same number of strokes , aiming for the pin from a set distance, etc. These might be a more appropriate test. Having said that, well done,Pete for connecting with them. Not easy if you're used to cavity backs.. 👍
I think it shows to not keep longer clubs in the bag as he struggles with 6+ but under that he has control with the blades. He should try the Eleven hybrid set.
Did you say Simon is coming back next year? (I hope so and will Evie be coming too to give Mr B another hiding?) Well played Pete good to see you back.
with Petes slow swing speed and inconsistency in his strikes, he was always going to hit the lighter forgiving clubs better. I know it's not possible but a better test would have been the same shafts in both sets and only the club heads being different.
Sorry to hear of your clubs being stolen Pete,but I am absolutely certain that there is going to be a club fitting video for your forgiving graphite shaft clubs due soon.All the best young man.
Someone with Pete's swing speed is never going to get value out of a stiff shafted club, whether they're blades or not. It's like playing with a broom handle unless you swing the club like Simon.
Well done eBay. So sorry some piece of work 💔 stole your clubs as you were playing really nicely with them after getting used to them. Looks like some Takomo's senior flex will cheer him up 🏌🏼🏌🏼
Liam, speak to your sponsors and get Ebay a new set, fitted, clubs. Tell Ebay to donate the insurance to a local charity. To play to that standard with strange clubs is the mark of a good golfer.Nice to see you again Pete.
Ben Hogan forged blades with senior flex graphite shafts for me, never liked cavity backed clubs, dead, dull, lifeless feel. Nothing beats the feel of forged blades, I'm almost 70 playing of single digits.
So sad Pete had his clubs stolen. He does not deserve such bad luck as such a true gentleman. However, that guy could play well with a hammer head on a broom handle. Bravo sir.
Yes a mid handicap player can get away with blades however they are not likely to ever reduce their handicap with them as smaller sweet spot, smaller face and harder to hit. If you want ti improve your game go cavity back with steel shafts.
Liam, my wife is concerned Ebay Pete is not dressing warmly enough for the weather conditions you are playing in now given his age. Could you please take control of the situation and make him wear some warmer clothes so she will let me continue watching the videos? Thanks!
I think the question that needs to be asked is, WHY WOULDN'T ALL PLAYERS USE THE MOST FORGIVING CLUBS? Ego is the only answer, frankly. I don't want to hear any crap about "workability" from amateurs, even scratch amateurs.
Pete has it sussed himself. He is generating more clubhead speed with the lighter shaft. Shame his clubs were stolen by some bad ba***rd, if memory serves me right he was fitted for a complete set of callaways at the beginning of the year worth maybe £3k.
Great to see Pete out whatever the format , always entertaining
Let’s not lose sight that the 101’s are lofted stronger than the 301’s, so that coupled with a lighter weight shaft will contribute to more distance. The 101’s really suited Pete’s slower swing speed helping him optimize each shot.
Ya there’s like 3 to 4 degree difference in each club…that’s a lot..
Look at Pete go….great playing Pete 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great to see Pete playing well. Strike is everything with any iron👍
Always glad to see Pete... Sorry someone took your clubs... Let's get Pete fitted for some clubs... Speaking of club fittings, I'd love to see Mr. Barlow fitted with a set... Enjoyed the video... Cheers guys...
Looking forward to seeing and playing with you and Pete at El Rompido! Cannot wait! BLUE TEAM RULES!
Cracking video. I always thought that Pete’s garage would be filled with bags of golf clubs 😀
I’m loving a Saturday vid, cracking 👍🏼⛳️☄️🏌️♂️
Well done Pete, brilliant video 😊
One more time “they are not fitted” 😂. Love the video 👍🏻
Sorry to hear that Petes clubs were stolen..
Welcome back Ebay. Great video lads.
Great viewing again I have 101Ts and love them pete would play great golf with 201 all day
Pete getting close to legend status on the channel.
Great video great insight into which clubs to use👍
Thank you
Well played Pete 👍.

He did
pete played very well very interesting experiment
My first clubs were Ben Hogan blades, found them great off the tee but hard work from 7iron onwards. Pete played so well, no pressure on him.
I've had blades , muscle back and cavity back clubs . Blades I used last year when I was playing off 11 my thoughts are you need to middle it every time to get the full affect and also have a higher ball speed to get the correct distance.

To be fare they was.
Yea I just finished the vid and seen the model 301 MB , get them in a lighter shaft Pete will be on fire 🔥
Wouldnt say it was a fair test considering the mb’s had a shaft in that pete would never get on with
That was a great video ... im sure that has offered some good information to some of the golf mates subscribers, sorry to hear Pete had his clubs stolen, some really sad people out there... 😠
However, a great demonstration from a versatile golfer, nice one guys 👍 keep up the great work Team Golf Mates ⛳️
Pete is the type of golf who will buy 4 out of 4 clubs on ebay
he loves new things
love him
sorry to hear about your club lost
Yes that’s him
I was a high handicap player and I loved my Ben Hogan blades...A blade teaches to you how to strike the ball properly.!
Game improvement feel better on miss hits, but actually drop more distance from off centre strikes due to their hotness from the middle only. Forgivness is just feel and good marketing.
Maybe you & Mr. B should do it and try to better Ebay using the same clubs and putter.
Cracking video as usual Liam
Cheers
What ever new clubs you ordered I hope they are Tacomo because that's the best i've seen you hit your irons.
MB Blade
But just guess to show, years of eBay means Pete can play anything - probably the best golfer on the channel 😉👍
The housewives choice looking dapper as always!😂

Whoever nicked Pete's clubs might have done him a favour, cracking shots in there. Top man

EBay, where have ya been pal. Missed you and the channel mate. ⛳️👍🏻
Sorta like Liam playing with the pro's pitching wedge. Good test though, the way Pete has been swinging. Nice vid

Reaching the same place (green) in the same number of strokes , aiming for the pin from a set distance, etc. These might be a more appropriate test. Having said that, well done,Pete for connecting with them. Not easy if you're used to cavity backs.. 👍
Well done ebay 👏 hope you get out playing soon 👍 😊
I’d bet there’s 3 degrees of extra loft on the 301 7 irons, you getting him a set of the 101’s? He deserves them!!! Good lad Pete
I think it shows to not keep longer clubs in the bag as he struggles with 6+ but under that he has control with the blades.
He should try the Eleven hybrid set.
Did you say Simon is coming back next year? (I hope so and will Evie be coming too to give Mr B another hiding?) Well played Pete good to see you back.
I hope to
with Petes slow swing speed and inconsistency in his strikes, he was always going to hit the lighter forgiving clubs better.
I know it's not possible but a better test would have been the same shafts in both sets and only the club heads being different.
Pete is a better golfer than me. If I had to play a different set every other month I'd be off 28...but he is a secret club tester 😂
That was different, well played Pete, sorry to hear you had your clubs stolen, will OMP get his back 🤣🤣🤣🏌️
It was
Sorry to hear of your clubs being stolen Pete,but I am absolutely certain that there is going to be a club fitting video for your forgiving graphite shaft clubs due soon.All the best young man.
That was a fun video and it was good to see eBay striking the ball well.
As for the scroat who nicked his clubs 😡 👊
I know the 101’s have hollow sections in them what about the 301’s ?
Someone with Pete's swing speed is never going to get value out of a stiff shafted club, whether they're blades or not.
It's like playing with a broom handle unless you swing the club like Simon.
True
Well done eBay. So sorry some piece of work 💔 stole your clubs as you were playing really nicely with them after getting used to them. Looks like some Takomo's senior flex will cheer him up 🏌🏼🏌🏼
Liam, speak to your sponsors and get Ebay a new set, fitted, clubs. Tell Ebay to donate the insurance to a local charity.
To play to that standard with strange clubs is the mark of a good golfer.Nice to see you again Pete.
To Kate he’s bought some
Forget the irons, look how well Pete went with that putter... The face kept straight through impact, get that putter..
Should have used the forgiving clubs first. Second shot has the advantage
Different lofts?
So sorry you had your clubs Stolen Pete, you played pretty well in the video :)
He get some more brand new ones
Great video can't believe ebay has had his clubs nicked horrible bloody thieves.
Well done Pete. You played very well considering they were not fitted to you. Sorry to hear that your clubs have been stolen 😡
Ebay you are a class act my friend. Absolutely scummy that someone stole your clubs. I know the feeling and it's horrible.
Ben Hogan forged blades with senior flex graphite shafts for me, never liked cavity backed clubs, dead, dull, lifeless feel. Nothing beats the feel of forged blades, I'm almost 70 playing of single digits.
Still got to be a player
How could someone still someone else's clubs i feel sorry for ebay pete but good to see him on the chanel
Well played Ebay Pete
Thank you
So sad Pete had his clubs stolen. He does not deserve such bad luck as such a true gentleman. However, that guy could play well with a hammer head on a broom handle. Bravo sir.
Pete don’t swing fast enough to use stiff shafts, he could probably use regular shafts but he should start thinking about using senior shafts..👍🏼👍🏼
Sad to hear you got your clubs stolen Pete - played really well in the video though.
Yes a mid handicap player can get away with blades however they are not likely to ever reduce their handicap with them as smaller sweet spot, smaller face and harder to hit. If you want ti improve your game go cavity back with steel shafts.
Sorry to hear about your clubs being stolen Pete...Did they leave your best shirt behind again? 😂
Liam, my wife is concerned Ebay Pete is not dressing warmly enough for the weather conditions you are playing in now given his age. Could you please take control of the situation and make him wear some warmer clothes so she will let me continue watching the videos? Thanks!
Think you’re correct a good player can swing any club. His shot shape is great. C’mon Liam get him a Scotty Cameron (look a like).
lol 😂
Bloody brilliant eBay so sorry to hear about your clubs there are some twats about.
Nice to see eBay Pete back. Can't believe someone stole his clubs that's terrible. The robbing gets
Come on then manufacturers, which one if you is going to come forward to save the day?
Oh no, Pete's new Callaway's were stolen? Too bad, I thought they had really helped his game.
I think the question that needs to be asked is, WHY WOULDN'T ALL PLAYERS USE THE MOST FORGIVING CLUBS? Ego is the only answer, frankly. I don't want to hear any crap about "workability" from amateurs, even scratch amateurs.
Variables are too much Liam I'm a 50/50 player I think mate all decent golf but everyone has a bad strike 23 handicap me but have been 12
Poor Pete there is some horrible people pinching his clubs .
Great video Liam well done Pete hope your clubs are returned 🤞if not hope the little shit house has no luck keep the videos coming mate
He got some news ones
Takomo’s ?
Pete needs to buy his mates putter first
Also to get ebay pete his clubs again if the channel do a donation page i would happily contribute £20 towards them
He should club up as theres 10yd difference
It was a head to head same clubs
Loov me blids.
Well played pete shame about your clubs
Pete has it sussed himself. He is generating more clubhead speed with the lighter shaft. Shame his clubs were stolen by some bad ba***rd, if memory serves me right he was fitted for a complete set of callaways at the beginning of the year worth maybe £3k.
Yes he was. And had a great season
I love Ireland am not to late am I🫢
