I would have liked to have seen some shaft discussion for the wedges, whether they go modus wedge/S400/stock since the rest of the series has been so educational and good at highlighting those differences!
Was their a reason you did not consider any of the Full-Toe wedges from Taylormade or Callaway?
Would love to see Marques out on the course in a vlog, or showing it from his editing viewpoint.
And the inevitable geeking out on arccos on his channel… 🤞
MKBHD needs tour striker plane mate for his chipping a pitching. All hands!
Imagine being rich enough to get a full bag fitting and then buy the clubs after 🤣
Wedges should be fit outside with real turf interaction
This was actually watchable without the Matt wanna be’s.
Anyone know what marques’ handicap is?
Marques has a pretty unconventional short game swing when chipping at start of vid but looks like it works for him. No real chest turn and looks like he flips at impact and hands too close to left thigh on follow through
You guys seem to have lost some resolution in your thumbnails since Matty and you parted ways. Could be worth investigating.
Enjoyed this. Seeing the process was cool, especially adding in extra bounce.
Marques all your full strokes looked beautiful but your wedges look like the club is way too heavy for you. What is that little floppy motion happening bro idek I can't stand it it's hard to watch I'm sorry for being so mean it's so just sksnbdjw
I’m glad to see he is human! So consistent everywhere.
Awesome series 🔥
I’m curious if you tried other wedge brands other than Vokey off camera? If not, why?
Interesting on going with the set gap wedge. I actually dropped my set pw on my mizuno 225s and put in a 46deg sm9. I've been really enjoying both the 225s and sm9.
Wow this explains why I hit my 56 further than my 52 it has 14 degrees of bounce vs 8 on the 52, I absolutely love my 56. Looks like I will never buy a wedge with less than 12 bounce now
interesting to learn his wedge degrees. My driver and iron distance is very similar to his, but I carry a 48 degree pitch(145yds), 52 gap(125yds), and 58 sand/lob(100yds). been wanting to take that 48 to a 46 but cant find a local shop to bend it for me and cant afford a new wedge.
I don't know how this guy doesn't play a lot and he seems like a stick!
Why go over 60 degrees? I feel like tightening up the spacing from 50-60 with 3 wedges would make more sense. Can always open up a 60 to achieve 62 degree results.
With how great he does everything else, I was surprised by his lack of accuracy with his wedges. I was also surprised you didn't make his clubs more then 1/2" longer. I hoped to hear some commentary on why only 1/2".
Ian, I get the whole idea of similar gaps but did you go right to 62 instead of 60 and narrower gaps? For a shorter hitter than MKBHD, would you start with the PW distance and then 50, etc? I’m trying to decide this now and decide between a 58 and 60 with 120 yard 50, and 105 yard 54.
Such a weird chipping motion.
As much as i adore all these vids by TXG i thought this one was very underwhelming. I personally think getting into wedge fittings for amatuers is going a bit overboard. IMO 80% or more of amatuers would never notice these little tweaks here or there on a 5-75 yrd club. Of course you need proper bounce for your swing but why bend a 54 to a 56 creating more bounce instead of just using a 56 vokey with more bounce? They make 6 diff grinds for this reason.
Case in point. Marques says he doesnt really hit to many full shots with wedges. Before tweaks he was inconsistent at 75-100 yrds. After tweaks he was inconsistent at 75-100 yrds. What changed?
I also understand we are seeing 20 mins of maybe a 2 hr fitting so face value is maybe not final vision.
I think clubs fittings are an extremely valuable aspect of playing your best golf and have been fit in last 8 months for driver, 5 wood, 4 hybrid and irons, but i draw the line there. A 1-2 degree tweak on a wedge isnt fixxing a poor wedge swing. A tweak to putters isnt fixxing poor putting mechanics, practice is. If you cant hit a green at 75 yrds with a 56 wedge you need to fix your swing, not tweak the club.
If someone can explain what im missing in wedge and putter fittings that im just not seeing im all ears.
Ian you mentioned to address the less miss to change the shaft length and grip. How does the grip influence the miss?
Now I’m waiting for a txg and f1 cross over. Maybe Lando or Carlos coming in for a fit!
Dude has a lovely swing until you put a wedge in his hands, at which time he completely stops rotating his body and is all hands.
Any reason why you bent a 54 D grind to get 14 bounce but didn’t try a K grind?
Wedge fitting off a mat 🥺😕
I've had fits all over, golf pros, golf town, pga superstore etc. This channel makes me feel like every single one was a rip off lol. You know so much more about golf clubs than anywhere I've been and even anything I've seen on YouTube. Its not even fair.
I was waiting for Marques to shill some Apple products
