Don’t Make This STUPID Mistake When Ordering A NEW FITTED DRIVER!

there’s no better feeling in the world of golf than when you’ve had your fitting the driver’s on order and you are waiting patiently for it to arrive kind of not impatiently Bobby how are you I’d be better with my driver you’re very very impatient are you so guys um robs had a fitting for a driver we will talk through that in today’s video fantastically done by Luke at tailor by the way so hats off to you Luke it can’t be the easiest person in the world to fit cuz he’s a little bit isn’t it we know say we know no it’s fine we can’t say it say what word it is but you’ve got a stop Gap yeah explain what it is is it working be honest uh because the premise p on this video is how important is Club fitting yeah it’s not I didn’t hit it as well as I hit the one I got fitted for but it’s nice just to have something that is similar that I can use it’s nice to have something shiny and new is what you say it’s nice yeah it’s nice having a friend who has a nice club that can lend you friend verbal any I heard what you said about him when he went he doesn’t have friends a load of bosses like oh anyway so um we’re going to discuss how important driver fitting is because I’ve never seen as many straight drives in a row as the fitting that Rob did if you want to see that I’ll link it below or Rob might do because he’s editing this video but what are your thoughts on this one because I tried to get you something like similar spec to borrow because the season’s here isn’t it and the last thing you want to be doing is like waiting and waiting and waiting yeah no it does feel nice but you feel like you should be able to kind of not hit anything but it’s not that different from what I’m getting so I should be able able to hit it straight yeah you say it’s not different it’s a different shaft it’s a different weight shaft the head is the no a different different head actually so it’s totally different isn’t it is it it’s the same yeah never mind we’re going to have a little match today at willly Park Golf Club we’re going to play a couple holes where we have to hit driver and we’re going to see just potentially how good or bad this stop Gap driver might be guys are you waiting for a driver at the moment have you been fitted for one are you going to go and get fitted for one let us know in the comments it’s really I love hearing your guys stories about your new golf club about how they’re working for you and about how you’re enjoying your golf I’m yeah I’ll let your leaders off Bobby oh thank you that’s very kind of you so what kind of shot do you see cuz you were you’re this lovely big high drawer in the fitting weren’t you yeah I’m just going to try and hit that again okay and hopefully it comes off yeah not a high raw not your best if it’s past those trees that’ll be okay though I’m going to have a go with that as well cuz I’ve really enjoyed I was testing this the other day I was testing the ls version um and I don’t think I’m a good enough player to use version I’m going to hold my hands up and say it by way it was funny cuz in the in the fitting you tried it didn’t you and it was like I wasn’t good with it the the the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze was it no I tell you who’s using the Alex version Chris and tiger and well yeah what’s the comparison there I was going to say women but not even that can we put can we leave that in I don’t know right this head shapes so much nicer than the ls there’s your high draw that was actually quite towy but I’ll take that all day in the Fairway and again I think forgiveness wise for the qi1 is really good obviously the the big version the QI 10 Max where the whole story of the Quest for inertia 10 comes in is more forgiving and we showed that in the fitting cuz you actually hit that well as well didn’t you yeah but this one we just brought those spin rates down and hitting this like 20 yards further than yours yeah a lot further 200 yard up here we found it how long so lucky how long was this all 450 minus 50 it was 409 and you got 200 yards left in can I it’s obviously hit the tree like I’m lucky I’ve not even lost it there’s still hope there’s still help it’s our first swing at day oh have you regroup Giants yeah very nice I like these I let you go they’re a bit thicker even have a back oh only just good angle from over there is it great angle great strike that is lovely go on then behind that tree up on the green fun there is it I can’t see for the tree but yeah I think it was was a good strike wasn’t it how you finding the new isons cuz it’s been a year of transition for you wasn’t it you’re’ not not always being a a tackle tart as it were no I’m not a tackle tart nice bag thoughti to see it beautiful bag very comfy as well yeah his pockets for everything is he as I can’t get the strap on there we are yeah I thought that was in the Fairway but it’s not took a bad kick yours is back of the green look Bobby there a too much Club too much Club I’ve got these today video either coming soon on now if anyone wants to see it so gouge this out I think that was sat down not my best not my best and you see it’s interesting so we talk about how important is Club fitting and we look at the rest of Bobby’s bag I don’t have my actual club today as you can tell cuz we’re filming lots of product videos where I’ve just got his wedge out of the bag to borrow sm6 is that eight years old now I must have got it like or 16 yeah I’m not Club shaming but I’m just saying you’ve regripped it about 20 quids worth of grip on I don’t know anyway but works well we are spending some time at tiess soon aren’t we we’re going to go and look at some new product and we might see if they’ve got time for Bobby to watch me get a wedge fit in but CU I think that’s as important as anything you know making sure you’ve got like do you think this is the right bounds for you and stuff stuff honestly I have no idea no idea it’s 10° bounds standard grind s grind so that’s like just Square Face kind of shot grind it’s okay if you’re not bothered about manipulating it but I love them wedges yeah and that’s the thing if if they work for you then the feel more than anything shafts are they just wedge shafts I think so the stickers come off I think so I think so that felt really nice Rob sit it’s a nice shot yeah lovely lovely wasn’t that enam in the sm10 I’m not going to lie you want to borrow mine don’t you I do so what’s being fitted in here fitted none of it the fivewood oh yeah five that was Luke as well wasn’t it oh no the three I in five I think there’s 14 three six 9 10 11 12 13 14 I like off them was that fitted no see I don’t know not that it shocks me or surprises me but the amount of people that don’t get fitted for a Putter and I labeled myself in this as well cuz I tried this out in the Ozarks when we saw the guys from swag had the round in my life with it and then it’s just stayed in there since Ozarks yeah like where they film ozar like where Ozark’s based have you watched ozar yes Oz’s men in it oh you w working with it you know what part of me thought you’d come to there but you didn’t did you no wish pay’s Valley yeah rounded my life with that and sometimes I think with a putter it is just you get on with it and then you go don’t you yeah I like but again that like and again not Club shaming you at all but it’s battered really seemed better camera battered then as well but nice black shaft in it I do like the oh that’s the only thing that didn’t come on it I asked uh I think Pete or Mike Walker got me this yeah long time ago friends what are the greens like um good exceptional probably the best you’ll ever see are they quick yeah please go apart from pace and line was an outstanding effort that’s a tough first part to have that though tough getting your words out is it yeah it is when when your throat sounds like oh she finally hitting [Laughter] you just came in last week longside started lining the ball up again yeah probably probably a really good job you interrupting me that to be brutally honest don’t know I don’t want to know what you were going to say did you get fit for your ball no do you know what ball no just whatever’s cheapest it’s a tp5 wow I won these wow I didn’t know if it was five or 5x I’ve used them pix ones before you gave me some of them I don’t know what they were though I just know they were the Pix ones oh it’s low tame it’s low tame shame cuz your recovery shot was fantastic it was oh well can’t really blame the driver no well in so about how you found these I like them yeah there really like they still uh good condition part what’s happened to your five I am there I didn’t what’s happened to my five there I have no idea that’s you launching them back in cuz you’ve got a temper problem I haven’t got a temper problem you just don’t look after anything the Youth of today unbelievable I do evidently not look at the state you 4 5 sorry right 176 I’ve got your six iron cuz the in just are good but it’s come better to be F I fed that and that could be really good go on it’s going to be a long put though the flag’s at the back and that’s at the front that really wasn’t my best stuff they R aren’t they you’re not going to clean it now are you you can’t oh after you’ve just mudded it before I hit it yeah I’m going to do so temperamental Bobby is there anything you’ve changed with these CU obviously with the tacos you can uh you can get specific KBS shafts in there so you’ve got the 120 Tor s’s but also I know you’ve changed the grips have you changed L angles have you had them in a loft and line machine nope would you do you think you need to probably cuz that’s the one area where if you are going to buy clubs like this you can retrofit you can get yourself on a left and live board get yourself on a launch one’ll tell you your Dynamic Li angle and you can change them yeah I probably should cuz I don’t know what my uh we can do it on the golf actually we can check the oh really the lles what do you know really I don’t know Cutting Edge technology Bobby oh you’ve never mentioned it you never asked that is a gorgeous golf swing that he’s never had a hole in one could this be the time no great shot though thanks i’ like it to be said bobb’s just put his 69 back in his bag and he’s literally gone these are what covers on it so I can do it he’s gone do it like that that’s a bit of an over just put my put put my iron back but look I just went yeah the the forge metal great shot Bobby thanks um your wed again please yeah thought that was going to spin so much more no don’t spin I’m joking they don’t spin do they right but I must admit as well I’m not saying this because I’ve just played a bad one but I feel like that’s got way more L than 56 on it now do you hit a lot of balls off range mats uh yeah like it could can change as well I think that do you say I should probably get new wedges no because if you work for that’s great but I’m I’m debating I only have two wedges do you think I should have a third no okay no I don’t think you should games are good I think it would um it would add to the problems go on then oh that delightful little thing was it was a nice shot fitted wed and that goes in for a three but we’ll take the four I really want to get do you I’m trying to educate people on the importance of Club fitting but what you’re trying to do turn in turn in I’d also like it to be said that I used to coach Bobby for his put in but I haven’t done in at least five or six years because yeah oh you or did you not give me that oh it still still that’s two down now cuz you not complet the hole so this is where for me the driver situation sets you up for the rest of the bag and if like to me that makes a lot of sense because if you’re confident with the driver I always think it’s almost a bit of a like a chain method you hit more Fairways all of a sudden you start hitting more greens and the world’s just a brighter place isn’t it Bobby how high do you te your ball um probably about there I like I like to see up high and I like to my spine angle back and hit it on the up I always cuz sometimes I don’t think I te up high enough does it depend what tea you’ve got for the day who’s giving you what yeah whatever again this is all something where you can ask me and I can give you an opinion because we do a lot of videos on tea height and things like that but when you’re having your driver fit in speak to the fitter say Luke where should I be teeing my ball at what ball should I be using should I be doing this what flight window am I getting because of the tea and the ball and everything else because it should be an educational day as well as just a shiny new thing it should I think it was as well I think Luke did a fantastic job didn’t he it was show us the big high draw Bobby righty oh no oh no that’s that similar Bush that bird the same Bush least te height was right that bu I must admit this shaft I’ve got in here it feels a little bit wooden like a bit stiff it’s a diam it’s only a 60 G it’s t plus stiff and it feels very board like that makes sense is it too stiff for me then do you think I no I would I wouldn’t have said so I mean I’m not a club fitter but even just that shot there it felt I could really tell where the club head was in the shaft well people say the shaft doesn’t make a difference I personally think it does I think you can feel a difference in how you deliver the club with it that’s obviously why Luke didn’t fit you for that and fitted you for what was it the lzard I beg your pardon got away with it big time how far do you think we’ve got about 400 yards five would then well it is your only fit in club sound good can’t see it is that okay think it’s okay so here’s the thing we’ve brought a couple of clubs out to do videos today with and I’ve got this so this is going to go in both videos Bobby just so you know wow can we hit this off the deck we found the Fairway 9 and a half degrees it’s a full driver length slightly down slope so not idilic but cuz this is the thing about a mini driver isn’t it you can hit it off the Fairway but a mini driver obviously has more Loft he is not safe in that cab isy that’s like your Prime window yeah I wouldn’t say it’s bad I think a three wood probably does as well if not better it’s fine is it but it’s a nice knuckle ball the the spin rate on that would have been low wouldn’t it how you thought that was my knee actually was your knee oh sorry do you want to tell them where the ball’s gone in that bush yeah I’m pretty sure anyway can’t and the worst thing is that’s the only fitted Club in Rob’s B see you tomorrow

  1. It’s OK you sayings “you should get fitted for a putter”, but try to get fitted in the UK without having to travel 100’s of miles. I have tried several time with no success. I live in Cheshire and the nearest place to me is Liverpool. At lot of people have a putter mat, but to me that is not a putter fitting.

  2. Shaft definitely makes a difference.
    I’ve been Darth Fader for years…. Just changed my regular shaft to a Ventus Blue stiff and I’m bombing draws and seriously lowered my handicap

  3. 'the season's here' 😂. Certainly didn't feel like that this morning. Some of the windiest conditions I've ever played in (south coast)!

  4. The shaft matters. The problem is the big box stores only have stock options. They you have chain fitters ( club champion) that only carry 300.00+ dollar shafts. There are a ton of options in the 80-150 range, just no where to try them

    I got Soooo lucky. Found a Stealth 2 plus with an Accra tz5 proto 65 gram shaft for 275.00. I researched the shaft and it seemed like it should work… and fortunately it did. Best driver I’ve had in years.

    Oh and… #Sackbobby. Bashing up new clubs…. Terrible

  5. Haha, same I'm in the same boat other end of the bag. I'm going out today even though I've got a 54/58 wedge pair I just got fitted for and aren't due til late this week. I'm borrowing my uncle's wedges today (he's the same height as me and doesn't get them shortened like other family members and friends, we're 6'4) and he plays a 52/58 with his pitching wedge that's a degree stronger than mine, (46 vs my 47) and if I remember, I'll let you know if I break 80 (I'm a 12 handicapper according to my arccos, and the days where my score starts with a 7 are the days I've got a hop in my step in the afternoon and evening.)
