So great to see him back and love that you feature the average player too
Always love the Ronnie series!
Cool video! Ronnie is a nightmare draw for me lol…probably doesn't give an inch out there.
The best shots he hit were the ones that were closest to the center of the club face. All those numbers are secondary in importance to that, the question is what causes him to get closer to the sweet spot? It's so refreshing to see someone swing the club similarly to the way I do! I wish there were more videos like this on YouTube.
Gosh I wish I could get a fitting like this. I'm pulling for Ronnie!!! Can't wait to see him when the new parts come in.
What about trying the ping stock shafts for the HL heads? Are those things you have in your matrix to give clients options of being fitted for stock clubs? Seems like would be nice to try what ping engineers have determined to be a good combo as they do a really good job with stock shafts.
Funny, I just finished watching Ian with Vosh on the new Mizuno product video today. I have to wonder what Ronnie could do with the new ST-X 230 Platinum 12* turned up to 13* or 14* with either Mizuno’s own MFusion shaft, or a Autoflex. Being only a few years younger than Ronnie and maybe a couple of mph faster swing speed, this content has been that final bit of “push” I needed. Always have been professionally fitted for my irons, but a self “tinkerer” when it came to driver; after watching this no more tinkering. Thank you guys for the great content as always with the added benefit of someone with similar and more relatable skill to me.
Thanks Ronnie! Love seeing Ronnie in the bay guys. Love the channel. Still the best channel out there in my opinion.
How about the Ping G430 HL.
This guy needs like a 15 degree driver everything is a line drive
This guy is awesome, whoever gets to play with him are lucky gents.
We all have to make concessions to age, some of us perhaps earlier than others. There is the fitting of a 25-year-old who goes from 280 to now 290 yards of carry, and it is a great thing. For fitters such as yourselves, I hope it's just as satisfying, if not more so, to eke out an extra ten extra yards of carry for a near super-senior's driver. For him (me), it can save several shots per round. Awesome content here. Thanks.
“Mid-handicap” meaning… 10-15?
If Ronnie is in for a check up, I’m due for a check up! The aspect of fitting that isn’t talked about that much is the amount of knowledge that the player walks away with. It’s a gold mine.
I would have expected to see the GBB, was there a reason it wasn’t pulled?
Fun results, but ouch, $2000 CAD driver?
Any alternatives? Are slightly longer factory shafts available?
I was kind of interested in him hitting the xxio more, see if he could adjust to the lighter weight more
Got home after a long day of work, booted up the computer to play some PGA 2K23 and get my youtube digested…saw Ronnies smiling face and got excited
Ronnie!!!!! Now we need Sam back! Love this!!
That's 2 fittings we've seen where autoflex comes into play and dominates on the slower swing speeds
WooHoo !!!
Hey Ronnie, wanna spend $1500 to pick up 10 yards?
If Ronnie can start putting the center of the face behind the ball…watch out!
I way am I dropping all that money for less than 10 yards on the driver. Auto flex is still $800 no? If you’re just obscenely wealthy I guess whatever.
Great stuff guys and nice to see average strikes represented. Further proof that strike is key and something we should all be practicing. More gains to be found there than with a carbon AI flash spinsistency turbo booster face
Great job Ronnie !
This is one of your better series. Love it!
Love seeing Ronnie back
I just couldn’t imagine not playing the xxio. Picked up 20 yards carry and loads of ball speed and hit it 240, and that is without trying it in auto flex shaft. Could potentially be hitting it 230 carry 245 total. Game changer
I love this series. Great Job hitting bombs Ronnie!
It was cool to see how much the G410 still stood his ground and I would like to see how it will perform with the Autoflex shaft.
But a higher lofted G430 with more clubheadspeed thanks to the autoflex might be an absolute beast. Iam really excited to see how the dispersion with the lighter autoflex shaft will be.
I really hope we gonna see p2 driver fitting and the rest of the bag.
Why do you never go back to the original club at the end? This is a must for me at every fitting
It's nice that Ronnie gets a better setup, but in the interests of full disclosure he's dropping about a grand on this setup, isn't he? Goodness knows I have nothing against spending $ on cool golf stuff but it would be good to know if the client ends up paying Ferrari prices for the gear or something closer to Hyundai.
Seems like the first shots are big-toe hits…I guess he would get a lot more carry distance, with better contact?
can someone tell me how you can get 1.44 smash factor on a toe hit like that on his first swing? Something is way off, either ball speed or swing speed. I have been using strike spray, and with a strike like that on my g410, that would of netted me 1.3 to 1.35 on a toe strike like the first swing.
I'd always like to see a person him there gamer again at the end just to see if they got back to the same distance as they started with it.
These are the video’s I Love from you guys. Looking forward to the update for Ronnie (absolute star). Please try an offered shaft with the digitally adjusted head as well as the Autoflex, some of us can’t justify the cost of that upgrade though the comparison will be fascinating! Ronnie’s swing sped = my swing speed!
I'm getting a fitting for irons in a great place local to me in Bournemouth UK. If it doesn't stack up to the quality that I see from your videos, then I am seriously thinking of flying out to see you guys. I have never seen a more comprehensive and caring service like what you offer, and would be amazing to be fitted by you guys. Currently this should be a good option for me to stay local as borrowing a friends irons but he is 5'9" and I am 6'3" and I know the irons are too short so need them replacing.
I started playing in June 2022 and fallen in love with golf, my handicap is now 12.4 and need to fine tune everything now. I am second guessing everything and playing with clubs that definitely aren't right but I have made them work up to now and keen to see where I can take this
Interesting that you guys were really pushing the Ping when Ronnie clearly hit much better with the XXIO.
Expensive driver for not a lot of gains. I would stick with 410 for another year. But that's me.
Autoflex 405 & custom head, custom build. What does that driver cost? $1500?
Why not get to 13.5/14 with 430 max 3 wood w a longer shaft . It would be lighter – than existing 410 driver-from a swing weight and total weight perspective wouldn’t it ? That would enable a little more speed. And it would be much cheaper than special ordering a 14 driver or one of the pink shafts. Should get more carry . Also could a higher spin ball help. I’m still trying to figure out how Ronnie spins it at 2200 with such a high loft driver. Wouldn’t 300 more spin help keep it in the air longer? Just looking for solutions that don’t require a second mortgage😂. Thought provoking video. Great job to you and to Ron!
love the fitting video´s… what does a counterbalanced shaft do. I have asked a lot recently but have not received an answer, so I hope you will answer me
A $1200 club? He really gotta love those 10 extra yards…
The answer is pay more for the shaft 😛
This a great video. I'm right around the same speed as Ronnie and would love to gain a little carry with my driver. You guys are a perfect example of what a good fitting from a professional can do. Can't wait to see Ronnie get fit for some fairway woods!
He could probably gain about 50 yards in distance at least if somebody would help him defeat that cast
Rather than fitting for clubs, he needs swing lessons….
That autoflex is expensive….but sure seems to help many people
