Yo. Great vid. Nice quality! I've had the p790s for a bit now. They are working out nicely. Hope they work out for you!
I've always wondered why I ended up with XS steel shafts despite my slower swing speed (am 70, not 40). Now at least some of it makes sense. Anyways, I hit my irons a LOT better with the heavier shafts, which leads to more confidence, that in turn leads to more distance where I am aimed.
Practice, play, repeat.
Enjoy your new clubs! Happy birthday and I hope you are still swinging and enjoying golf in 30 years.
(I have yet to find a hybrid I like – every one of them just looks like an Ugly Stick to me. I carry a 9 wood instead.)
First time watching your channel – enjoyed the fitting. You basically got fit into perfect clubs in my opinion – those Callaway Max Woods were huge sellers this year, P790s are Taylormade's best selling irons by miles, those Ping Glide 4.0 wedges, with the very slightly wider soles and the hydro finish are a perfect choice. The only surprise for me watching was how much better you liked the timing of the TT 105gram shaft over the 120gram – I predicted watching you'd go 120 given your speed but everyone has a weight they like to swing. Great choices – and that Hybrid is money.
Nice bag…Ping make great wedges. I just got fitted and for my irons Mizuno 225’s vs TM p790’s both were excellent. It was a tough choice but went with Mizuno’s. I just subbed..Greetings from Santa Cruz, Ca…
This was awesome! Thank you for sharing. 🤙🏾
I got fitted. Was between the p790s or the cobra forge Tec. P790s were great, but the feel of the cobras won out for me. Also the consistency of distance. The p790s had some fliers that went 10 yards or more beyond where I was expecting them. Cobra had less of that for me. I got heavy shafts too, 125s.
I get high spin often, so I was fit for all low speed woods. Cobra 3 wood LS and a callaway triple diamond LS. The triple diamond surprised me, but I do decent with it. See shall see if I can keep it
Just so you know when you said they’re using Srixon 4’s the number on the ball means nothing
I went through the same thing with folks saying, “Have you tried the Vokey wedges? They feel so nice!!” Yes they do, no doubt about that. But I took a 56° and 60° TaylorMade MG TW out for a spin on the real turf practice area and I was blown away by the turf interaction and the feedback sensation from those two clubs. Even though I had always had a strong wedge game, It was incredible how actually dull the Vokey felt in comparison as almost TOO soft. With the consistent control and confidence in directing ball flight/landing attributes I had with these two Tiger Woods designed clubs, they went RIGHT into the bag immediately, lol. Using these along with the 54° TM MG I added to the wedge trio, it’s like throwing darts at the green. It really is amazing how much technology has been thrown into golf clubs to be such that you can go through a fitting and ended up with a combo of manufacturers that’s perfectly tailored to your swing profile. This elevated level of tech has definitely raised the enjoyment experience of the game to a whole new level. Great video my friend!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Somewhat of a click-bait title of the video 😂 good nonetheless though.
Getting fit for a whole bag is awesome. My only concern is my swing deteriorating over the course of the fitting due to fatigue. I feel like a whole bag fitting should be over the course of a couple days. Thanks for sharing.
Jamie fitted me into p770s a couple of years back. Great guy and a non pushy approach.
Was knackered after the irons, no way I could have done a whole bag fitting!
Some great golf there. Which wedge grinds and bounce options did you choose?
Really interesting. Been thinking about a fitting so thanks Michael.
Am absolutely loving my P7MB recently just hitting the best I have in decades.
I got fitted recently, chose the same irons, wedges and utility as you! Just with a different shafts. I chose Ping woods though.
Nice bag!! Bring them down to Balckmoor for a knock
Great video man, really enjoyed it!
If you have a fairly consistent swing club fittings are soooo essential. The right shaft is so important. I just had to reshaft all my irons and it’s night and day. It’s incredible but much the fitting helps the game. The technology is definitely different but I don’t think I’m makes that much different. Every persons swing is different and some clubs are just designed better for that type of swing.
I’m 61yrs old, no way I could through that. I’ll maintain with my ragtag clubs.
Apex irons are awesome!!
Great video , Just wondering what was the budget you intended
to spend at the start and how much did thefull bag fitting come to , I have my fitting this weekend ?
To me vokey wedges seem hard of the face but that was some years ago
First video I’ve seen of his. After about 15 seconds and his “they’re using srixon 4 balls”, I’ve seen enough.
Great video and insight into getting fitted. 👍
I tried the stealth hybrid today and it feels unreal 🤌
Great video, I been thinking about trying out P790 nice looking set💪🏾
I like how you have moved around brands, I have done the same with Callaway Woods, Ping Hybrids, Mizuno Irons, Ping SW and TM big foot LW and Bridgestone RXS ball. You have picked the best in each class and can only help your game going forward; just a shame it coming to new model time of year.
Great video. I got a full bag fitting at Silvermere 2years ago ( was in the same fitting bay you were in but with David (Scottish guy). Had a similar experience to yourself. Didn’t feel pressurised into buying and certain brand or clubs. I was even told that the driver I was using at the time (2018 Callaway Rogue) didn’t need replacing as nothing was out performing it. They even said I could pop back another time at no extra charge when the Titleist TSi3 was going to be released so I could try that out.
Ended up with Titleist TSi3 driver, 3w, 3h.
Mizuno MP20 HMB 4-PW
Vokey Sm8 50,54,58
Oh and how good is the shop!! I was like a kid at Christmas in Toys R Us in there!!
Just stumbled across this – great vid mate! You’ve got a great swing, what do you play off?
There were a few moments where it looked like he was just trying to sell you the more expensive club. Your first shot with the T200 seemed poor and you said “can I just blame the club” in a joking way and he said you can because you’re swing doesn’t change between swings. If that were that case, you’d never hit a bad shot! That made me a bit frustrated with sort of confirming the stereotype I have for golf club fitters…
Sorry for this comment but IMO should have saved £2500 and used it towards lessons. Looks like a case of expensive clubs, cheap swing. No fiiting is going to help the lack of backswing rotation or half swing – all arms and no legs or hips, more a "senior" swing. When your swing improves, the fitted clubs might not even suit your game. What did Jamie do regards loft, lie shaft length etc.? Prove me wrong, what's your current handicap Michael?
Absolutely 0 hip turn
A good fitter wouldn’t let you do a full bag fit in one day
I enjoyed watching this video. I'd love to get a full fitting like this… Maybe on my 50th birthday in a couple years… New Subscriber. 🙂
The Ping Glide 4.0 are excellent. , I,m playing 60-w 56 w and 50 S . Super smooth with UST Smacwrap graphite shafts..
What shaft flex did you get?
Nice bag set up Michael 👌
Great video. Again full of great info.
