ABOUT ME:
I’m Liam Harrison, Bolton born and bred. I’m a lover of Golf, life and laughter.
Started Golf 12 years ago after packing in football when i was 28 due to a back injury.
I started the KZfaq channel as a laugh and a Wim, to make me practice but that went out the window as i started vlogging, loving being on camera but more so the interaction with my #golfmates.
In 14 months i have seen the channel evolve and become the only real golf community on KZfaq which i am extremly proud of.
I would like to thank all the #golfmates that have been with us and supported us and the channel from the start. Also not forgetting our new #golfmates that may have only just come across the channel.

Reshafted my driver 5 years ago to a 3 wood shaft. Sacrificed about 15 yards but it's definitely a fairway finder. Couldn't be happier with it.

@paulaskey1508 4 жыл бұрын

Rogue 13.5 driver cut down by 2 1/2 inches. My driver accuracy has gone up massively and distance only fractionally reduced, probably the most sensible thing I have done in golf (other than having lessons of course). I tend to find 220 in the fairway tends to be fractionally better than 245 yards in the trees, bushes, river, out of bounds etc. Go figure

Great vid Liam, I did the same to my Callaway Rogue, had struggled with slicing and mis hits, but at the same time could bomb my 3 wood. So I cut it down to the same length and BINGO it works so much better...really pleased with the result, it’s deffo now a keeper.

@robertakerson7186 5 жыл бұрын

Mr. Harrison- Interesting tests! I suggest getting some extra weight into the head area of the new club so that it feels the same weight (swingweight) as your Epic driver, because if you have not done this the club performance may not be as good as it could be. Ralph Maltby states in his clubmaking book "For each 1/2" the club length is reduced, the head weight must be increased by 1/4 ounce" (despite its great size, the driver heads are quite a bit lighter than a 1 iron head).

@larryd4352 5 жыл бұрын

90% of the time I play golf, I don't even bother taking my driver to the course. I have a 13° Yonex 3 wood that I use off the tee. I am very long off the tee to start with, especially for 62 years old, as I can still hit it between 240-260 yards. But...I am a really big guy...6'6"...and won more than a few local long drive contest's in my 30's. But now, I just play for fun with my "golf mates" ....and am happy when I shoot my handicap (12) or beat by a stroke or two. I carried a 4 handicap for many years...but I don't have the legs or the lower back of a 30 year old anymore!

For your back: get the "hang ups" equipment. You lock your feet in and then it allows you to hand upside down. This totally decompresses your back and you should be right as rain. Start with about a minute or 2 at first and you can work your way up to longer. Also, get "arnica" in a system that you can rub on your back, this will totally help. You can get arnica in a pill as well as lotion, maybe try both. For your hair: the "hang ups" will help by allow more blood flow to your scalp. Hanging upside down is totally beneficial to getting oxygen to those hair follicles. Two, you need to add "diatomaceous earth" to a protein shake and start taking that every day. I was thinning and this totally thickened my hair right back up. There is no particular brand, just search "diatomaceous earth" and get whichever one suits your fancy. Also, take a niacin pill daily. That pill will turn your blood hot and put more oxygen to your hair follicles. Ok, cheers mate, hope you really try these.

Liam, you said earlier that your Callaway 1 iron goes about 230. Now, this club goes the same. It supports what I found last week when I cut a driver to 3 iron length, it went a 3 iron distance.

When you created Frankenstein it got me thinking. I have an oldish Cobra driver with a matching 5 wood. Both have adjustable heads, so no need to cut anything. I just put my 5 wood shaft on the driver head. My mates are away this week so I went out yesterday on my tod and used my creation on a couple of short par 4s, a long par 3 and a couple of par 5s with tight fairways. Worked a treat! I parred them all, and I'm a lowly 12 handicapper. I found it easier to use than my 3 wood, and being a lefty, I couldn't find a mini driver to try out. Well pleased, and it cost me nowt.

@bensalemi7783 5 жыл бұрын

So Liam, what length is a "1 Iron Length"? 41"? The funny thing is that in recent years club manufacturers have been gradually increasing shaft length on ALL their clubs simply as a way to claim increased distance. This is especially true for the driver. I think Tour pros usually play about 1.5" to 2" shorter shaft length in the driver than the stock shaft. I think Clay Ballard did a video about this...

8 years ago I bought a new driver and took just a inch and and half off the standard length and it straightened my drive right out with out compromising to much length

@joeperez3520 5 жыл бұрын

One of the things you have to consider is that when you cut the shaft down considerably, you seriously alter the overall weight, and especially the swing weight of the club. When Cobra makes their "One Length" irons, the weights and lofts of the clubs are not exactly the same as the "normal" length irons, because a Gap Wedge with a shaft the length of a 7 Iron still has to go the same distance as a Gap Wedge with the shaft length of a normal Gap Wedge. Same for every other normal club vs & Iron length club. To get that 7 Iron length driver to travel over 180 yards, there would have to be some other modifications to the loft, weight, perhaps the shaft flex as well.

Bolton Wanderers! As a Canadian, I have to confess I don't know who they are! But I will add that I have found no less distance and much more consistency when I've been choking up on my driver, so maybe a shorter shaft is what I need.
