watching this makes me want to get fitted with no one else but txg.

This makes me want to be fitted by Ian some day even more. Ive told my wife if we ever win the lottery, the first thing I'm going to do is get a full bag fitting by Ian

"Don't let your fitter tell you that you don't know what you are talking about." Sound advice. After all, that is your wife's job.

I have watched every single video on TXG but this is the best video ever....love it!

The timing on this couldn’t be better. I have a long game fitting next month and can’t thank you guys enough for everything you do. Best golf channel on KZfaq hands down!

Made a list to add to your notes if you want to copy paste so you can remember which ones you want to ask about: 1. Learn something about your swing (why you hit well/not well) 2. Ask about the build (Specs of the club i.e. length) 3. Distance Matters 4. Tee Height Matters (Hitting high on clubface vs low) 5. Control Spin loft (by changing loft on club) 6. Know your strike tendencies (Kind of like #4, know where you hit the ball on the clubface) 7. Don't overlook the grip 8. Re-test driver given vs. your driver 9. Bring your own golf ball if you use 1 specific brand 10. Get all of your data 11. Differences between demo and actual club fitted 12. Know your own game

BryanGolf changed my life. I understand club path and club face at impact and the effect it has on the ball for the first time in my life during my fitting. Just Took me 4 years 😂

13. Ask your fitter, 'Do you watch TXG?'

I watched this video the day it posted then again tonight. In fact, I watched it twice tonight. The first time watched I didn't LISTEN to what was being said. The second time through I did listen (albeit, while practicing my Larry half-swings) and not just hear you guys talk. The third time was uninterrupted. This has to be one of the best videos you made for your audience. Previously, you educated viewers on equipment and ball reaction but not the motor for the gear. True, there are lessons to tune up that motor but nothing to work on the software. Being mentally prepared for the fitting is as important as it is physically. I believe you addressed that issue here.

Was midway through re-watching a TXG video when I got the notification of this one. Clicked it instinctually.

Ian youre on another level of club fitting. I feel your teachings make me a better club fitter than most that have been doing it for years. Cheers bud

My biggest key to distance and accuracy has been the knowledge that I hit it much better when I hit down on the ball. As soon as I moved to a 7.5 degree loft on my taylormade driver. Everything changed. Now, it is hard for me to miss a fairway. Spin is 2100 to 2300 and loving it! You guys helped me figure that out.

Been waiting for this since Ian hyped the hell out of this on the live. Very relevant and timely for me! ✌️

Guys, this is 100% gold. We're so lucky to have you as a resource. Thank you!!

It is hard to find a fitter that doesn't have a hidden agenda such as trying to sell you a certain brand driver or shaft. I had a fitter that I really trusted but he took ill a few years ago. He is doing better now but not working as many hours and still recovering. I don't mind paying for a fitting but sometimes you may discover you should use what you have with some minor adjustments. I think this is your best video to date! Thank you for all your help.

Agree 100% bought a PXG driver recently, great on the range, but after 2 rounds- it's standing in the corner. Back to usual club builder who knows me & my swing and TSi3 now in the bag.

Went to Club Champions and had a totally different experience than what you’re describing. I’m never going back to them!

Could you guys do a “12 tips to get the most out of your iron and wedge fitting”?

When Ian says this is going to be the best value video, he’s not kidding. This is a must watch. I’ve experienced both bad for and great fit and it really is up to us to communicate the right info to the fitter. Thanks for the great content!!!

TXG is by far the most in-depth golf channel on KZfaq, always bringing relevant, helpful information that every golfer can connect with and learn from. Keep up with the great video ideas! 🇨🇦

TXG reading my mind again. I have a long game fitting next month and was going to rewatch all the pertinent videos. One stop video.

I was booked for a putter fitting with John for the 15th of December , then the lockdown. My plan now is to book the putter fitting and driver fitting for April . Love listening to you guys !! and watching Matt hit absolute bombs ...could watch that all day!!!

The custom grip part is really underrated, and something virtually no one other than TXG is doing in their fitting sessions. EVERYONE needs to be doing that!

Excellent informative stuff. You guys are doing a genuine service to the golfing community. These videos have given me the confidence to get fitted in the new year. Thanks guys

Gentlemen, excellent. If I owned Club Champion or any fitting shops, I would require my fitters to put this video to memory. If the customer is satisfied or happy with the service, word of mouth is the best advertisement. Why is it that the best in most professions are always willing to share? Thank you.

Great video. Thanks. One thing I think you should add is alignment. The majority of golfers align inconsistently on the course, I'd hazard a guess that this is even truer hitting into a screen. Case in point, I've been to 2 fittings recently and was just hitting draw after draw after draw. My on course shape is a straight ball with maybe a hint of fade. Now both fitters then try and straighten out my draw when in reality I was just aiming way right of the correct starting line in relation to the launch monitor. I don't play a draw on the course, I just can't align properly in a hitting bay. Junk in = junk out. It should be standard practice to setup alignment rods so that the variable of alignment is completely eliminated from the dataset.

A quality video from a quality company. My one and only driver fitting had none of these points. I took the new club on the course and it launched into the clouds. I think I tried to change my swing to compensate and I am still trying to recover from that .

This video is invaluable. I work at a local golf shop as a builder and our fitter is pretty much everything you described in tip #12 but in the wrong way and as a result, we usually end up having to rebuild or completely return their driver. As a builder it is my Job to build exactly what the customer wants and needs. I’ll be showing this to our fitting team. Thanks guys. Just excellent information.

I think another tip, although maybe assumed. Pay for your fit. I've been into big box stores over in Scotland with no intention of buying the club, I just wanted to use their gc quad and hit a few drivers. But that experience was an eye opener, I was hitting the ball pretty rubbish that day but according to the fitter / sales person after watching me hit 10 shots he was convinced this £450 driver was 100% the one for me and I could have it in 3 working days delivered. I think it's one of the most tricky things about club fitting is knowing who is good and who is not. Who is a knowledgable club fitter, who is local club pro that sells clubs and who is a sales person. Great video with really useful advice. It's helped me. Thanks.

Ooooh obviously smoked it out of the park with this one, take a bow once again. Every video you learn something new! #txgreferencevideo #golfhitlist The Best of TXG Hit List! The Early Years 👍

«Be the right number!». This video is. Planning new Dr and FW. Spot on laddies.

I am so glad being part of your community, even here in Germany. The depth that you deliver is so enlightening. My instincts are getting sharper with each video.

Great nuggets in here! You guys could have a master class series on fittings with all the knowledge there.

The problem is that most fitters don't have the same knowledge about the process. Dream to get fit by you guys!

Every fitter should watch this video!! Amazing information!

Best video I have seen on KZfaq for concise information about fitting. Your the best boys

Brilliant lads and the timing is spot on knowing the festive period has just happened. So many people would have been given money or gift vouchers for fittings, or they’re looking to go for one as the traditional off season ends and new brands release clubs. Pin this to the top of your KZfaq page if you can, as this is a vlog that will stand the test of time in its relevancy 👍

You mention that we should ask and know the finer details about the fitting and how the final built club will will be built but how can we be certain that the actual club that we receive is in fact the club that was promised? Could we or should we take any club back to the fitter and get them measured to confirm the details? Great content guys as usual. Stay Safe. 🌈

Superb advice and expert knowledge and education from Ian and TXG. I hit like before it even started. I would add the following practical suggestions based on my interaction, experience and discussion with the experts at TXG over the years. Analyze your game prior to coming in, where are your misses, strengths. What are your goals and expectations. Pre select favourites. Don’t expect to hit every club and try every shaft. E.g. for drivers, what are your top 2-3 based on practice/trying. You’re not coming to a demo day. Practice before you come in. You don’t want to be coming in and hitting after a 2-3 month layoff. Invest in lessons. If you are part way through swing changes, better to wait 2-3 months and then get fitting. Communicate with your fitter on your likes, dislikes and ask lots of questions. Be open to recommendations, data is your friend. Anxiety. Don’t feel you have to hit perfect shots. You will be anxious, everyone is. Relax as if you were on the range and have fun. Budget - give some thought to this prior to coming in, start with what the manufacturer’s retail price as a starting point. Communicate this to the fitter and if there’s flexibility and finally and most importantly, let TXG build your clubs. Enjoy yourself and have fun. Fitting can tell you so much about your game and help you find the optimal clubs suited for you and your swing.

Great video gents..!!! Driver fit now at the top of my list..!!!!! Although Cam gave me a fit/retro fit 20 months ago and was awesome information... !!!! But so many changes since my Mizuno JPX 900 maybe another go around is called for!!!!!!!!! #letitbeautoflex!!! 🙏

This is a well thought out. If only you guys were here in Oz. Just coming back to the game. Have had some trouble getting sorted with clubs. My irons are my irons. So good. Driver is coming around. Max LS. 4 wood is still a shaft struggle. Could tip it and not be waiting for it as much. Big foot lobby to replace my is taking some patience. Having watched this now would have helped in my new choices. But lack of choice and patience to wait for the right gear is the hinderance. I see a problem and want it fixed now. Admittedly gone from 19 to 10 in the last month. This is due to a lesson and lots of practice. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.

I possibly know more about my swing than most 'average' pros would know about theirs - thanks to TXG. I collect data on Trackman and Arccos and now know how to better interpret it - thanks to TXG. I can't travel to Canada - no thanks to Covid. I'm now unlikely to get a satisfactory fit anywhere else - thanks to TXG. Thanks TXG 😆

I am going for a driver fitting Saturday so i am glad i came across this. My "fitting" for my current driver was nothing like this. That session started with my wanting to reshaft my gamer. The fitter out right told me i needed a low spin head and a XS shaft. I didn't test any heads, he basically told me what head to get. I get that head in, he has me test one shaft. Asks if I like it and that is what i left with. At the time i thought it was ok, but then i started noticing inconsistencies that i was at a loss. For those wondering, i was fit into a Epic Flash SZ with a Fujikura pro 63 x-stiff and I am a 30 hdcp.

One of the best videos I have seen. Kicking off 2021 to be the best golf year ever

You guys are the best. I’m relatively née to the game, been playing for about a year and a half now, my game is coming along but I have developed a pattern of consistently hitting the ball low and missing with heavy shots. The low ball flight doesn’t bother me so much but hitting shots heavy does. I’m right in the middle in terms of swing speed my 34* 7 IRN goes about 155 etc.. I tend to be right near the center of the club face the majority of the time but catching shots heavy kills me. The real problem comes into play with my long irons and especially my driver. For whatever reason I cannot stop hitting down with my driver and sky TONS of drives that destroy my round. I’ve been playing long enough now to understand that I am doing something wrong, I’m not sure if I’m compressing to much or I’m leaning back but I have hit a wall. I really want to go get fit but I don’t see the point if I’m going to go and miss hit 1/2 of my drives. Do you have any suggestions for me to try and get away from hitting down so much?! I can hit 250 yard drives but because of the way my swing is I only get a proper shot 1/5 time. I can get away with my mid and shorter irons but I’m still losing distance and height due to my angle of attack. Basically what would be a good idea to try and stop hitting down so much with all of my clubs especially my driver and long irons. It would make a BIG difference to my game and I would actually be able to get fit properly. I would love to come get fit with you guys but I live in FL :/

Ian , this is by far the most important video you’ve ever done. Thank you both Ian and Matt 🙏 ... HNY to all at TXG 😉🏌️‍♂️⛳️🍻

I so wish you guys were in South Florida. Just think, you could play golf year round on hundreds of course down here. And I could come and get the best fitting on earth. You two are just incredible.

That was brilliant, i wish we had pragmatic, but sensitive to the customer fitters he in Australia. You guys have respect for your customer. I enjoyed and respected every word you said, sadly youll never be able to sell me anything. I come from a swim coaching background, and really understand the personality differencees from me to the parent and to the swimmer. Somewhere in all thos we have to provide result to customers, difficult or pleasant. You presentations are professional, enjoyable and real, good job guys

I wish this video existed 4 weeks ago. I did an M5 3 wood retro fit. Even though you guys loaded me with the knowledge to know what to ask, I couldn't help but feel like I knew more than the fitter about the process thanks to you guys. I'm happy with the final fit, but he didn't want to adjust the hosel, or the sole weight. He wanted the shaft to square the face with I get. I don't feel I got the attention to detail you provide. Another info loaded video guys.

You guys have been the best KZfaq find in 2020. Over the years I’ve had horrible fitting experiences where I’ve just walked out, to wonderful experiences where I would have bought a whole new bag of clubs if the wife did not set strict spending limits. This is by far the most comprehensive and practical list to work from. Happy New Year fellas! Look forward to even better stuff in 2021.

Back before I got lessons, I went in for a fitting for a driver. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. The fitter turned to me and said, "Hey, you look like you are getting frustrated. You mentioned you will be getting lessons soon. Do you want to pause this fitting, and come back after? No cost nothing. I want you to walk out of here feeling good, not just buying a club." Honestly, I was bummed, but I valued that they wanted to do the right thing for me, not to sell me a club. I've gone back to them for a full bag fitting and everything and trust them. I'll go back to them again because of it. They addressed everything you all put out on this video, with the exception of me asking about the build mirroring the fit. Love the stuff you guys put out! Can't wait to see the next Matt vs. Al competition!

I love your videos. I've been fitted for clubs. The problem is almost no other fitters are as good and thorough as you. I love watching your expertise and wish I could experience it. Usual fittings are too limited on time and are so one-dimensional. It's fascinating to watch the level and intricacies of your knowledge. With 90% of fittings out there, you have one hour, simply conparing heads, good luck, next customer. Oh to spend some quality time with you and walk out with truly the right tools for my golf game! Thank you for the joy of watching

I went to a "full bag" four hour fitting (including putter) at a local (SF Bay Area) fitter last year. I was told we were done after about an hour and a half and felt as though I had been rushed through the process. Doubt I will ever go back! Wish I was close enough to have you guys fit me!

How anyone can give a thumbs down 👎 to this ! Best golf related YT channel hands down ! So much info on this video

"You're losing 2 or 3 golf balls a round" you mean every 9 holes 😆

Absolute best content ever by you guys 👍 I had three one hour fitting sessions before I parted with my money. That took out all the variables by swinging on different days and boy did it pay off. My first ever Titleist driver I purchased was the ts3 last year and I honestly didn't see me changing that ever until the tsi3 landed. It was only around 5/6 yds longer for me than my old ts3 but what swung it for me with the tsi3 was the much better looks, sound and dispersion. The tsi3 is quiet simply the best driver ever that I have gamed. The results are better than I could have ever expected out on the course and I honestly will not be looking for another driver that fits my game.

This video should be required viewing by EVERY subscriber!

The last time i was custom fitted was 10 years ago at ping gainsborough for G15 driver, am due again but this time I shall try a independent fitter with more choices. In 2021 theses tips given will be written in my note book great video again Gentlemen very informative .

Best golf channel on KZfaq Period... Wish you guys were in my region

Seeing how much Matt has grown in knowledge over the past two years and hearing him talk about how he gives players advice makes me wonder when he is going to become a fitter too? Come on Matt you already inspire a lot of people and you could impact a lot of people’s game!

I'm a big fan of your channel since the beginning. I always like your videos but this one is really special. It was so informative. We were at the golf fitting university. Great job guys.

I am so glad you mentioned the golf ball !! Especially after you have proven the spin impact. How many times I have been in a retailer's bay with a hodge-podge of balls laying on the floor. Yes -- bring your own sleeves! If they need to mark them with a marker for the launch monitor so be it !! Wear the shoes you play with. Don't do it in your business shoes on a lunch break ! The other factor is there are sessions when you feel like you have players hitting up behind you and with an audience pissing you off in the back of your head! Try and get a private fitting with a fitter you are comfortable with.

Another awesome addition to your youtube library. One of the most important influences on a fitting is the attitude of the fitter, some people just clock in and out day by day. I trust your team have the same passion for the industry that you obviously have. Well done boys !!

I have a fitting next month and I will be watching this a couple more times to keep in mind for the fitting.

Perfect timing since I’m looking at trying a new fitter this January after I was told “grab a grip you like off the shelf” from my last fitting 6 months ago, that still rubs me wrong to this day. Integrity & going through the whole process is vital because every bit of info matters

Fantastic tips guys. Thx for another great video.

One of the best ever. As seminal to me as the Gareth chipping lesson. Great work. Thank you.

"Prescription" of the build. Love that analogy

Great video as always. What I've learned from being fit at multiple places, very few combine the knowledge of the swing that TXG demonstrates, with knowledge of the the tech and the build process, to ensure the components buttress the weaknesses of the swing. As a neurotic person, the grip choice is so important for all the reasons you described. I've been to two Top 100 fitters and I've learned more from TXG videos than I did in those fittings. I've also only been fit with Trackman and now I will go to a place that has GC Quad to actually see the face conditions. Keep up the good work.

My expirience with a terrible fitting. I was fitted for new irons at a big box golf store, by the store manager who I knew, at the end of the golf season after lowering my handicap from a 13 to a 7 and was hitting the ball really well. Fitting went fine and was fitted for a regular flex shaft, 1/2" shorter and 2° flat. By the time I got my clubs, I had fractured my wrist and never hit them for about 6 months after the snow melted . I lost distance and had this weak fade. I struggled the entire season and thought it was because of my wrist. I worked really hard on my swing to get better but my handicap fell back to a 14, mainly cause I couldn't consistently hit any greens, which was always the strength of my game. It was not until last year (3 years later) that I realized 3 very significant things. 1) the shafts were a stiff flex, not regular. 2) the clubs were 1/2" shorter but they just cut the end of the shaft 3) it was a standard lie, not 2° flat. I just assumed that I got what I ordered and never even bothered to check. Who ever looks at their shaft flex after a purchase? I recently had shoulder surgery and when I am done rehab and get by swing in better shape, I will be flying across the country to TXG and get the best fit available.

Just got fitted today and asked all of these questions. It was my first fitting and it was a really good experience. These tips helped me relax and trust my fitter. I'm now set up with some P770s and can't wait for the spring. Thanks fellas for the sound advice.

You are ready to get fit and you've watched countless videos about how to find the perfect club for you. Here's how to get the most out of your session. BRILLIANT VIDEO. Thank You =)

Gents, awesome content, brilliant and inciteful commentary that educates all of us, so thank you! A wonderful masterpiece to close out the year; it certainly shapes my thinking and question set for my 2021 bag build. Happy New Year.

This is hands down one of the most comprehensive “manuals” to get a great fitting. And coming from the guru of gurus. Great work boys

Ian, Matty this format worked really well. Particularly the graphics. If you guys could get a white board and perhaps do more videos where you illustrate what’s happening with club delivery data etc. I struggled to understand bounce and grind in my wedges and I think if you drew it on a board including things like the effect of shaft lean etc also the sole of a club by drawing it against a reference point such as the ground the penny would drop a lot more quicker for people. Be good to see more of it in 2021 All the best fellas, see you in the flip side.

This isn’t just fitting promotion. This is truth. We as consumers should know that we are going to get something that we like when testing. Unfortunately, the build process depends on each club builder but I think txg proves their authenticity based on video content.

This was so helpful. My previous fit was nothing like this and a year later I kind of felt that I could've purchased something off the rack and gotten the same results.

I recently had a fitting for irons that has left me feeling deflated. Looking back the whole process showed me that they havent handled the increase in demand well. The excitement of getting new clubs isnt just the getting them, its enjoying the process and examining the data so you can feel confident that things havent been rushed and you've explored the options out there. I feel for those who have limited access to top fitters.

I was trying some shafts at a fitter, he fit me to ctaper lite x.I hit the shaft great.....that day, I've used lighter shafts in the past in irons and while they feel good when everything is no pressure, at the times I need to hit a shot extra weight helps me with tempo and timing. Great point on knowing what your game is.

Doing a driver fitting in the next week or so. Cannot wait! Thanks for this video fellas

Wow! Could have done with this video years ago. Was fitted for an m2 , at the time I wondered why I wasn’t getting many shaft / head option to try but thought fitter knows best. Got the suggested set up and payed my money. A week later I get a phone call to say Taylor made can’t fulfil the order because they’ve brought out the new head but I can have that for the same price. Result!,( aye right) take delivery of the club, go play 1stround with the new driver. The setup was that bad the new club went into my garage after 6 holes and only came out again in October 20 to go on eBay. When wee Jimmy Kranky lets us cross the border again I think a trip to Scott gourlay might be in order

One of your best videos! I would also recommend telling your fitter when you book the fitting that these are the questions you will be asking to ensure they will be able to answer them. You don't want to pay for a fitting and find out half way through they can't even provide these things for you

One of your best, gentlemen. I will watch this once a week up till my fitting this spring.

LOL strike tendencies....my golfing partners fall asleep or scratch their heads when I try to explain why the ball curved right or dropped out of the air when I see the ball marks on their drivers. Thanks TXG.

Refreshing for my fitting tomorrow! 😂 Not so low key wish it was with Ian. 🙏

Love this video, as you (Ian) probably know, there aren’t enough places, if any, in England that do all the things you have said in this (changing grip, have different balls etc). If I can get out to Canada I would love to come get fit by you! Keep up the work gents! Happy new year

Video's like this are why I don't watch many other club reviews anymore. Top shelf as always boys!

I’ve gained a tremendous insight into the fitting process from watching all the content you guys produce. Great content and especially enjoy the banter.

Thanks so much for this video. I’m going to get my fitted driver re-checked on Saturday (Jan 2) because I don’t like the feel of it. I have completely messed up my driver swing trying to figure out the new driver. This time I’ll use my tee and my golf balls. I will also be better prepared to understand the bad (and good) shots.

My club fitter told me i could not be fitted. The swing was not consistent enough... Thx for the vid, learned a lot!

Great info. Would love to see videos just like this for the rest of the bag!! You guys just keep getting better. Thx for the ongoing content

One of the best 'what to expect and ask for' video on fitting I've seen. Nice work!

That was excellent, thanks. Will definitely watch again before I go for a fitting.

This channel has the most value out of any. NEED that pullover that Ians rocking. Happy New Years fellas. Nothing but greatness in 2021 for the lads.

TXG:9001 golf fitting quality control standards. If you ever wanted to discuss formalising golf fitting processes then this is the gold standard. Would love to see a TXG approved fitter list to show someone in my area that would subscribe / believe in offering a similar process.

Love this sooo much, thanks for making this. It's a good reminder for myself to go back and watch some other videos back again.

A great insight ian into fitting.i went for a fitting a few year ago to a major manufacturer who is a regular supporter of your channel and i found that because at the time i couldnt afford the most recent irons i felt i was dismissed and told hit sum shots its either reg or stiff no choice of shafts no grip choices nothing and with having a disability i thought maybe they would have put nore time into it but felt in not spending top money it was basicaly fend for yourself. So still to this day never been fitted for golf gear.still enjoying getting out playing ⛳🏌️‍♂️

Perfect timing for me. The last club to finish my bag is getting a driver and getting fitted for it and I was waiting for winter to get it done. Thank you guys. If y'all weren't in Canada, I'd make the trip up.

One of the best videos by you guys. amazing!!! Thank you so much for this video!

Came back to this for a fitting this coming Saturday for the big stick
