Why do you care so much what other KZfaqrs choose to game? Most of em get to test all the big brand’s new releases each year and they choose what they like best. I haven’t seen many of Mark’s videos but based on how everything was Srixon/Cleveland, I’m assuming he’s sponsored so he has to choose Srixon. And if you’re just talking about him playing more cavity back irons, that’s just personal choice and if they want to play blades, why are you gonna get bent out of shape about it? lol

@sonysand8202 Жыл бұрын

@@svk_5104 personal choice or arrogance.l? Its arrogance. Jordan Spieth plays t100. How many wins, how many majors. KZfaq golfers are youtube golfers for a reason and their arrogance leads to idiots on courses playing clubs they have no business playing and it slows down play.

@@sonysand8202 I would like to know what KZfaqrs your talking about specifically because you just sound like a depressed and angry individual if you’re this mad about what clubs KZfaqrs choose to play. Also, those golfers aren’t slowing the game down more than those 15+ handicappers who are slicing or hooking it into the trees and chunking or thinning iron shots all over the place. If you seriously think KZfaq pros/players and low handicap golfers using blades are slowing down pace of play because they’re using blades, you’re very ignorant. I play off a 5 and use the mp20s from mizuno and I GUARANTEE I’m not slowing down anybody on the golf course. Once you get good enough, using a blade isn’t going to effect your pace of play

Mark, I plan on getting new clubs this years. The last time I’ve updated them was 2015 or 16. I’m on a budget (but aren’t buying a budget set) my question is about fitting. Club Champion charges $400 for a full bag fitting. For someone on a budget that’s a lot of money, money that could be put toward clubs. I’d really like your opinion

@wallstreetoneil Жыл бұрын

Our bag constructions are nearly identical, except I've bent my PW weaker to 47 degrees because I want a 52/58 wedge setup but with a more versatile 52 - so I special ordered a Cleveland Fullface CBX2, like yours, except in a C-grind 54-degree, have had it bent stronger to 52.5, 1/2 longer for potentially more distance when needed, and with a heavier S400 shaft - getting that C-grind for me is KEY - far more flexible - especially with that heal-relief

I appreciate that you don´t care about cosmetics and so on. And I respect that you build your bag purely on lofts, ease of use and numbers. However, I really wouldn´t enjoy this kind of bag with 2 PWs, chunky irons, chipper, different brands... From my point of view it´s not only about numbers. Although game improvement irons make it easier and I maybe would profit from having these in the bag (hcp 9) I really don´t want to look down on such chunky irons. For me (!) it´s about asthetics as well. All the best for your season Mark!

I currently have a 50 degree and a 56 degree wedge was thinking of swapping 56 for a 58. I don’t want to lose a club buy getting a 60 degree and keeping the 56 degree but worries about having 8 degrees difference. What are your thought? Typically will use my 56 degree for 80 yards and in plus bunker shots. I never really use it for a full swing unless I have to get over a tree. Just thinking 58 degree might help me more from bunkers and around the greens

@loikepalenikonu5489 Жыл бұрын

I swear Mark either checks my bag before he does his own or we both have a love for odd clubs and bag set ups. I had the original zx4 5-AW but changed to the Apex DCB 6-AW. Added a hybrid between my 6i and 22* hybrid because i had a huge distance gap. I had the Hywood and Chipper already in my bag before Mark did videos on them last year. But recently pulled the chipper and my old cbx 56* for a 52* and 58* CBX zipcore. Hywood is the go to club and ive had to friends buy their own after seeing and testing mine. High handicappers best friend. Carried a heavenwood/7w to go with the driver but recently replaced it with stealth 5wood.

@bransonreynolds3936 Жыл бұрын

Just by chance my bag has become very similarly structured. Mainly just trying to get as much help as possible. Hollow irons, dropping from 6 to hybrid, wedges that blended better. My next move is figuring out the best blend from my 24 to 3 wood.

Just curious, why don’t you have a utility iron in your bag? I know you have hybrids but I have found sometimes when I need a low penetrating shot into the wind or under a tree my hybrid tends to get up in the air too fast. For me, harder to keep low. Thanks for your feedback, Ric

@truthdragon7719 Жыл бұрын

interesting stuff. Where do you stand on hybrid lie angles? being a tall person I find them too flat. Some hybrids only have flatter settings if any (Ive experimented with longer shafts to raise the toe). My experience is irons that are fitted for me are easier to use than hybrids or woods. Also irons have a high toe, from the rough I can more easily sky a hybrid or wood. Also, also a comparable iron has a shorter shaft and a flat face not roll or bulge to confuse my limited mental acuity.

Thanks Mark. There is so much hype to go player distance irons that I was considering it. I was thinking of going with the zx5 mkii but after watching this I think I could also benefit from a little more help with the zx4. You mention adding the zx7 PW. Did you consider blending the zx5 8i, 9i, PW at that end of my bag? Or was there not a lot of difference when you tried them? This is my biggest concern when getting fitted for irons. They do everything with a 7i. Ric

Mark Im surprised you dont like the 5&4 ZX4 irons in the set - I assume your swing style suits the hybrids better? I cannot stand hybrids. I game the Cleveland CBX irons all the way down to the 4 iron - similar lofts to the ZX4 irons. and I freaking love them! they go nearly as long as a 5 wood - but with a towering flight that feels like you are playing a wedge from 200+ yards! To each their own!

@kevinthorp1419 Жыл бұрын

I’m sure you know this Mark but those grips you want to put on are heavier and will affect the swing weight especially on your irons. Winn make midsize grips that are the same weight as standard grips. I have big hands and struggled with the added weight/swing weight effect. The Winn grips fixed this. Great modern bag. I’ve recently put in a 6 hybrid so I game a 7 wood 5&6 hybrid. I’m 52 and play a 7 handicap. Game chargers from semi rough.

Nice bag Mark. I'm not as good as you but your lessons are really helping. I have the previous ZX5 drive but haven't tried it yet. The ZX MKII 7 wood(off deck), ZX MKII 2 hybrid (tee up long par 3 and short par 4), ZX MKII 4 and 5 hybrids, 6 through Approach ZX5 MKII irons, CBX Zipcore full face 56 and CBX Zipcore 60 wedge. I compared the ZX4 MKII and ZX5 MKII in the pro shop and didn't see any really discernable difference between the two other than the head felt heavier on the ZX4 and I didn't like that but I like the heavier Pro Modus 105 shaft and the looks of the ZX5 better so I went with that. I guess I just prefer players distance better than game improvement even though I'm not really all that good. I'm shocked by your choice of the 4's. Cheers!
