He must have really bad short game if he is a 20 handicapper. He has a good swing and has good distance.

You have a better swing than me with way more distance. I’m a 12 handicap. Trying to figure out how you are a 20 handicap. What is your scoring average?

@nicholasthorstensen6213 Жыл бұрын

⁠@@shawncorley3229off the tee gets me in trouble a lot. 21:00 you can see one of them they left in just blocked it left. Very inconsistent with that. In the driver section we talked about my thoughts about if I took a driver out my scores would lower but it’s a tool that I need to be able to utilize. Then I have the penalties some chunks and thins sprinkled in to. High 90’s.

Not really striping it. Right before the fitter came back he hit a good one but the swing before that was not good at all. ~90 mph ball speed with a ~90 mph swing with a driver 😅

Crazy, I game the same exact adams CMB irons with kbs c taper shafts.. I started getting fit a couple years ago before the fitter had to leave with a family emergency but we were settling in at the callaway apex pro 19’s with kbs c taper lites.. still haven’t been back to get fit yet. Definitely could utilize some tech to help with misses as I don’t get to play /practice as much as I’d like but I do love my Adams CMB irons. I’m not sure if there’s a better looking iron out there! Nice video!

Always interesting to see the measurements. I'm just starting with golf but my driving range has one indoor and a bunch of outdoor trackman installations. I was measuring my 5i the other day and I'm just a bit below the clubhead speed of his 7i and I have roughly the same ball speed. My carry though is between 125yards and 145yards with my 5i. So his 7i swings already go further than I can hit my 5i. My smash factor is slightly higher, not sure if that is good or not but my spinrate is somewhere between 4k and 8k. Probably 5.5k average. And my height with the 5i is so much higher than this 7i heights. I think I'm averaging between 60 and 80 ft height. **juding from his before fitting stats**

@jazzyjay4595 Жыл бұрын

Crazy to have been around and playing golf for that long to be a 20 handicap still 😅 You can also tell he’s read some things or watched a few videos. As a fitter, nothing you’ve read online will be relevant in your fitting. As long as you have a good fitter that you trust. Wanting distance, dispersion, forgiveness, and height cannot all come in the same package. Notice how his distance really didn’t change

@2ndswing Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback! We actually do like it when golfers come in having read some things online, provided they are accurate! But in many cases it helps golfers have an understanding of what they want out of a fitting.

@jazzyjay4595 Жыл бұрын

@@2ndswing agreed. Understand what you want out of the fitting is important. I find all too often that people will read about a new model of iron and the marketing says they achieved more distance, better dispersion, more control, and more forgiveness. A player may come in expecting all those things to happen but it’s very seldom the case. Having an understanding of numbers is important as well, but everyone’s numbers are different. A 65mph iron swing will never launch it at 17° and spin it at 7000rpm. It’s even more apparent in driver fittings where you read all the time about people playing 9° heads and spinning it at 2100 rpm. Max distance is unachievable for 98% of players at those parameters because they’re not swinging 115 with +4-6° angle of attack

I'm not sure about switching the 4iron for the 7wood. Surely the 7wood is launching higher and stopping quicker? He might find a 7wood with an adjustable head would be handy to tweak the numbers.

KZfaq "golf fitting" videos are hilaroius. I worked at one of the major golf fitting shops in the country. I watched literally more than 1,000 people get fitted over the 2 years I worked there. 95% of the people getting fitted swung their drivers 95 mph or less and swing 7 irons 79 mph or less. Yet every golf fitting on KZfaq is with some ridiculous outlier swinging a driver 120 mph or a 7 iron 90+ mph, which represents the less than 1 percentile of those fitted. What a complete farce.

How can you hit a 7 iron 170 plus and be a 20 handicapper? You need to get out and practice around the green not buy new clubs!

@nothing1421 Жыл бұрын

I'm a 20 handicapper that hits it the same distance, if not farther. It comes down to consistency in swing. My short game actually keeps my score down. There are rounds where I'll make 4 or 5 pars in a row and then go double, triple, quad +. Then I'll remember how to swing and it gets better.

He’s got good speed and distance which can get you in more trouble if your left and right misses are bad that day. I’m a 16 pretty good driver speed 110+. When I’m hitting it well I hear the sandbagging accusations but when I’m not hitting it well it’s going OB in a big way.
