In this video we fit Geraint, a 12 handicapper, for a new driver. Very much a trial and error type fitting process where we tested a hell of a lot of combos! And we ended up with a very unexpected combo...

    Nice to see a fitter who is really interested in the customer first and not just trying to make a quick buck. You took the time to figure out what was best for him, most other fitters won’t do that. This is probably the main reason why most of us amateurs avoid trying to get fit, most of the fitters are more interested in making a sale and trying to up-charge you than what best for the customer. It’s really difficult finding a fitter you can trust. Cheers.

    Absolutely 1000% correct mate and that really f**ks me off 😂 not only because it's clearly the wrong thing to do for the customer but it gives fitting a bad rep as you say and puts people off getting fitted. Most of my fits end up in a lesson tbh 😂 a lot of this was talking swing too but I took most of that out. Most people benefit more from that than they do a new club in all honesty. But you're right it's also a business and you do need to make money. We do struggle a bit money wise being truthful because I'm extremely honest in my fits. But hopefully that leads to a good rep and more business long term

    As someone who rarely finds the center of the club face, I was impressed with the gentleman’s consistency and smoothness of his swing. His swing speed was almost always between 89 and 92 mph. The changes you made to reduce ball spin produced good results. If I could get more consistent, I might benefit from a club fitting, but for now, I think the results wouldn’t be very meaningful.

If you were in the midwest United States, I would send all my friends to pay for a REAL fitting. I think there is an untapped market fitting second hand clubs. Pay similar amount as new club, but get benefits via lesson(s) and proper fit. Could be a popular theme to see if you get better results with older equipment. If 20+ yards, golfer trades his newer stick for old straight up. If no improvement, lesson is free. 😊

Regarding the gentleman's swing, which is just a touch slower than mine, I now feel extremely lucky that my natural tendency is to hit it higher and towards the toe. He is so consistent, but unfortunately consistent with a strike pattern, which makes it tougher for him.

    Really interesting. My own fitting with you we landed on TSR3 head 8.75 deg without the weight. I wasn't in a position to buy then, but i used the information gathered in the fitting to play around with my SIM2. I've bought a back weight which is approx 8 grams less than standard and added a counter balanced shaft. Massive difference! I really struggle with the back weights they put in drivers now. I understand why they do it for extra forgiveness and gear effect, but i get super spinny and struggle to square the face. The new Paradym standard is the worst for me, where the weight at the back is too extreme because of what they have saved elsewhere with the 360 carbon head. I note this gentleman struggled with the Paradym also, probably the same reason. I'll be coming back soon for another test against my revised gamer spec 👍 I'm keen to see how the TSR3 compares now.😂

This looks and feels like a proper fitting should! 👍 I know the weight removal got the strike point in a much better place, so in that respect, removing the head weight improved the point from where forgiveness would be needed compared to the low strikes with the weight in. Still I'm just wondering what the removal of the head weight does in terms of potentially losing native head forgiveness, as weight distribution in the head so often is said to have an impact on that?

    Nice to see a fitter doing the right thing. In particular not advocating the most expensive sort of shaft. It was also interesting that a TSR3 was the go. Just shows again, go to a proper fitter not a big box store. I was horrified recently at the driving range where a 75 year old next to me with a slow swing had been sold a AUD1,000 plus anAUD1,000 SHAFT . The loft had been set to 8°. I offered to go back to the big box shop with him and sort it out. Unfortunately he did not want to make waves.

    Yeah I think if fitting is done properly and you work with the client and you both make the decisions together based on the data that you see then you can't really go wrong. And in this case the AV Blue was a great fit so no need for expensive aftermarket shafts. But yes there are certainly a lot of fitters out there that don't do the right thing and just try and sell the most expensive shafts going 🤦

    Ross, like you mentioned an interesting final build spec.

Certainly would have been interesting to compare the performance between the two techniques.

    Yeah interesting idea but that would have almost certainly slowed down swing speed by making the overall club a lot heavier, as I mentioned in the video the theory is you will get more ball speed from more head weight. For most people this doesn't turn out to be true. If leaving the head weight in and then counterbalancing it would have led to lower swing speed then that would lead to lower ball speeds and less distance. We do use switchgrips so I have dabbled with that theory quite a lot too. It pretty much never plays out in a positive way for people trying to gain club speed.

    Great fit and love all the additional insights shared in the comments. I got driver fitted in 2022 after 30 years of playing off the shelf. Went in wanting G425 but hated the heavy head and counterbalanced shaft. Came out with 9* TSi2 Tensei Blue 55S and love it. The shaft feels so stable vs my old Cleveland driver with stock 55R and I hit a lot more fairways now due to more consistent strike. Curious if you played around with weight in the heel to try to improve the face rotation and mitigate the weaker fades?

    Thanks Lindsay! And really glad you went and got fitted and ended up with something that you love and works really well for you. That's what it's all about 😊 and we did yes but where it kept the head weight higher I think regardless of whether it was in the heel or not it didn't make much difference. Better off just having less head weight making the club easier to release. Especially as standard the weights in Titlesit are only 8 grams anyway. That's never going to do a great deal in my opinion.

    This poses an interesting question. Is there any point in a beginner/high handicapper getting fitted for a driver or indeed a set of clubs. If they aren't swinging as good as they ought to be? I've been playing just over 6 months and the difference between me and this guy is he's more consistently straighter than I am and plays off 12 where as I'm starting at around 28. I normally hit the ball as far as he was near the end but my misses are more dramatic either a ball that fade/slices 10-15 yards right or an absolute bomb ( by my standards) that just goes straight left 20-30 yards off target. I would love a fitting but more to get an Idea of whether I'm using a driver that's suitable for me as I'm sure I could hit the ball better than I do now as I improve. I'm still working on building a neutral swing so that I can draw and fade the ball when I want. The straight left misses are me trying to draw the ball and over doing it. Where as the fade is me trying to hit it harder to go more than the 130mph ball speed and 205-215yrd carry that I seem to be stuck at with total distance of 228-233 yards I doesn't seem realistic to my wallet to arrive with my £50-£60 eBay driver and leave with a £600 driver that I can hit 30 yards further. My goal ( as I'm in my late 50s) is to be able hit my driver (further than I hit my 3 wood) consistently in the fairway and carry the ball 230+ yards with a total distance between 240-250yrds

    Funny enough I was just responding to someone else talking about this technique. I actually did a video on testing multiple clubs at different overall weights and swingweights as in your set up you can add weight to both the head and the butt to create a light swingweight but an overall heavy weight. Which if that works for you then that's brilliant. For most, especially when trying to add distance, just having less head weight ultimately leads to more swing speed and more ball speed. But everyone is different and had different requirements 👍

  • @johnatchley9754

    Fascinating move with the weight. When you take out the 8 gram weight what do you use to close the hole? Assume just a disc would be at least 1 gram. Surprised to see the loft at just 8.75 degrees. That’s what some tour pros with high swing speeds use. Most of us seniors have been moving from 9.5 degree heads to 10.5 degrees.

    Possibly slightly, but the problem with those heads is they are very high spin. So where he was at with his current gamer was very straight but lacking distance, all of those heads would have just given exactly the same results. Maybe even slightly less distance than his current driver so would have been no gain.

    It appears to me that the player could benefit tremendously by simply teeing the ball up a bit higher or moving it back a few inches in his stance to correct those consistently low strikes across the face. I have been fit by some of the best in the business and ultimately think that for most of us with a swing that is not as consistent as the best players are wasting our time with a fitting when we should be spending our time with an instructor and on the practice range.

He hit 10 more with it and the avg carry was a variable of 25.5 yds vs his old setup and guess what??? He changed it all back because he read somewhere he should have a "high launch" shaft??? You cant make that stuff up?? He literally went back to losing 25+ yds and increased his spin back to near 3700 and pulls everything but he has that shaft he read about in that club and he is ready for the world 😂😂😂

    Hi Jonny, thanks for the comment. So there is never any obligation to purchase the fitted club at the end of the session. But the only slight issue with that is we do only carry the most up to date models as we can't purchase old ones. And new to old heads may well perform slightly differently in terms of launch and spin so we could advise but you obviously wouldn't know the exact numbers if you were going to go and purchase one of the older models. But absolutely no obligation to buy when we fit you.

    Hey Drew, it was not no, because it spins a lot more than the TSR3 therefore would have just been the same if not less distance than his current set up. Plus with the ability to remove weight we can make the TSR3 lighter than the 1 model anyway to increase speed, pair that with the lower spin nature of the 3 head and that's how we get that extra distance 🚀🚀
