Monday LIVE Part 2 (08/01/24) – Simon, Stuart & Junior Superstar Christos

Join us in the studio tonight’s Monday LIVE. This week we are joined by junior golfer Christos Pillay, a customer to both the fitting and coaching bays at Precision Golf.

That way a little a little bit I think um but I know people who just hate it when you complain it’s not but there are even some some guys who you think would be better once they’re into the realm then they get going but it’s

Um yeah I think go yeah probably I think with Goin particular you can you you kind of have to you have to like yes maybe not like you have to kind of embrace be able to embrace that situation yeah okay sorry about that little internet issue but it’s all resolved

Leas Line Is On The Way It Is promise you it is on the line I we keep saying but it really is on the way and and also um we’re going to have to get the volume in for James we have to get a couch yeah um couch and some soft soothing words

Yes okay Christos bear with us we’re just going to get uh um James 2 get the hang on one second one of those get that back up so if you ask us a question could you re askk it please so I’ve got it in front of me but one

Question I did see before we were rudely interrupted by uh technology the feed is now working lovely uh was uh how has your handicap Pro progressed over the last two or 3 years okay um it it hasn’t been a massive drop each year but it’s come

Down a couple of shots each year so I think I so start of 2022 what were you around I think 10 yeah about 10 and then the start of 2021 that was high wasn’t it yes 15 16 maybe so it’s not a massive drop but

It’s a couple of shots I think the thing for yourself is that because you’ve been a bit of a slight guy uh you’ve not had distance on your side you’ve been incredibly accurate I mean he said he missed a fairway the other day I said

Where did you miss it he said I it in the left rough I mean that’s not missing Fairways no no he clear doesn’t play with me when you miss a fairway you’re supposed to normally you go well lost the ball but um so so you’ve been always

Been super super accurate and I think when you’re when you’re hitting hybrids and and five woods and five irons into greens it makes it very difficult to get close but not only that get your handicap down because there’s so much pressure on your long game than than one

Of the other Lads because there’s guys of your age that are 6’2 yeah yeah and they B about 300 yards I mean I’ve got to get my short game really good to compete with that if they’re hitting it straight and how’ you deal with that standing on the first two when you hit

Play with someone that hits it a long way I just play my game I mean I don’t think have about what other people do just hit down the middle get par move on see I’d have gone chasing them really upset them and then oh no I’ve hit it in

The hether yeah the wise words Christos I’m not sure who should be teaching who you oh you’re in Cliffhangers Cliffhangers see if we’re live back up live I think we are live yes we are live fantastic we’re back you see you the all those big tornet you’re about to come and play and

All those delays standing on te’s waiting so it’s just just preparation for that easy easy easy making small talk on the tea I know I know oh that sounded nice didn’t it that sounded very nice hey hey hey you know what that is don’t you good club fitting now we’re talking so we’ve

Got 1.4 degrees of up strike yeah pleased with that yeah am the driver path at 3.8 from the inside pleased with that it could be a bit lower and your 1.9 close face to path I mean that could be a bit lower as well but it’s fine like that I’ve got got a

Friend of mine that when he sees one finish that close to the middleast says if that if that’s what you meant to do then fine exactly exactly so we’ve got Club head speed of 88 mil hour spin rate of 2775 how’s that looking with a launch angle of 14 it’s I

Wouldn’t want it high y but this is also the bit of you know with technique work with you know growing and strengthening that’s that’s always a thing to keep an eye on and whether just turn the Loft down a little bit as speed goes up uh

It’s not high high it’s good for carry y um a slightly lower spin you get a bit more run out but it’s good for carry 205 carry 230 total yeah happy with that yeah want it a bit further yeah 250 250 let’s see it another one yeah

Say there’s about another good another 5 10 yards just for that a little bit of a l flight from a run out y this time of year I’ll take the carry all day long we’ve got we got the coach on Kate Christos is so hard working and it’s amazing watching his

Progress see I mean the Applause that this young man’s it’s good isn’t it it’s lovely it’s lovely I’d love to think if I got in the gym I Could Have Hips as small as his somehow that that ship sell a long time ago yeah honestly that dream

Is over that dream wely over can’t do that crit Neil axon said what a great mindset you’ve got and that that’s massively important yeah having that kind of having the head in the right place that’s you know knowing knowing your game and playing to your strength rather than worrying about

What else is going on there certain chappie won the open last year who does that quite well very well very well I mean a lefty that doesn’t hit it particularly far plays within his own game bit of a modernday Mike we yeah yeah absolutely absolutely patter do you know who Mike wear is

Kristos no no what year did he win The Masters yeah the master that’s really aging isn’t it yeah yeah Savage Savage chat was that te too high or was that okay looks dead straight again yeah dead straight again dead straight flight still carried it at

206 yeah so probably T maybe t a little high just SPO it up y let’s have another one more down a fraction just looking at that launch angle again spin relative to launch angle in a good window so yes it’s launched high but it’s not spinny and high yeah Neil axon says nicely

Organized golf balls for the new year now this this is something that I have a bit of a problem with it I I when I walk past like this OCD for me I need them seeing like that every time I walk past neat little pyramids yes thank you for noticing me yeah

Absolutely it’s got a stronger flight on it yeah lovely yeah so little right but yeah yeah solid yep 209 230 again move over that side little bit out the toe for the draw m not bad is it yeah it’s all right it’s all right it’s all right so what does the what

Come in the middle there CH what what does the year look like for you what are you going to be playing in uh just a few nick nick falo no f series uh and just a few Club comps stff like that try and get off Scratch by the end of the year

Scratch when when did the main comps start for we was that March April time yeah probably do you get excited or nervous or both for comps I excited yeah love comps yeah and and do you do you can you get up for playing friendly golf as in can you get excited about playing

Friendly golf in the same way as you can playing a comp yeah you can can play for you can play for Stuff match play stuff that you could put on the line like chocolate bar something like that yeah that’s awesome that’s awesome and correct answer there yes Absol

Absolutely absolutely and what and what does what what what’s the dream what’s the dream to be on tour yeah winning a major hopefully yeah yeah and being world number one yeah fantastic well I think you what’s actually great is the fos series started when I was back when

Nick new coach was you falo series and how long that’s been going for and support over the years that he’s put into the game in the junior end end of things I think that’s that’s fantastic it’s still a major part of the junior junior season so I’m I’m just pleased he

Knows who Nick f is yeah cuz that would be a sad and D wouldn’t it if he just playing on Nick’s Tor you do know who Nick f is brilliant nck Christal SAU amazing thank you so much thank you very much thanks for putting yourself out there did you enjoy that with these

Two clowns will you come back again and join us again yeah can we hold you that to when you win a major yeah yeah yeah no appearance brilliant yeah thanks so much Christ good Lu let me just uh take that off of there and pop it all right I think James’s the

Tier is going 10 n so you see the side of relief on Christal’s face now I know I know I know chill out did did did Super well and did you notice he was wearing the GX golf glovs I did yes yes super super Shiny

Bright new white one he might be one of the captains in our Costa aino one year I hope so when he wins a major yeah absolutely be Hest we hold to that we’ll holding to that so we’ll see if we’ve got any questions coming now that we are back back up and

Running what are the driver specs uh apologies if already mentioned on christos’s Club so we’ve got 12 Dees Sim 2 Max 12 de um currently in the higher setting but looking at those that might be worth having a look at over the next couple of months make sure we can always

Bring that down a little bit um the mpishi the C6 blue 60 in a in a stiff um so it’s a 60 gam neutral balance uh and uh still just a little bit Shor of 45 Ines yeah but um yeah so significantly longer and heavier than previously and

The shafts uh KBS tolite uh in the stiff I think the 100 G ones um but came up from a 60 odd gram graphite so an almost 100% uplifting dead weight on the shaft and an inch and a bit longer as well so brilliant superb now interesting and I think it’s great to

Anytime you are invested in a someone’s Journey it’s lovely to see them grow as a gol isn’t it I mean we started working a few years ago three years ago and and to see you know just the stages that he’s going through we’ve kept it pretty simple coaching wise you know we’ve

Worked on some leg action back in the day and just try to make him a little bit stronger with his legs and make him understand how they work but really from there on really Tred to say as little as possible he had a bit of a bit of a

Patch during last year getting not stage right but playing tournaments and and couldn’t repeat what he was doing so well in practice and actually had a couple of weeks off didn’t play any golf apart from one round of golf that he played and then uh he went out and did

Super well in the event I think he won it but it just sometimes you can get so caught up in trying to push and do well and I think the new handicapping system doesn’t make it easier for young L because we were just talking off camera

There how you can Bounce from going down low going up highight in our day and back in my day during the war it was it was you could you know you could play B around the golf and only go up1 but now all of a sudden if you throw

An 82 in there it it can I think it kicks out a 70 and you throw throw 7 80 in there yeah it’s much more volatile um and you know and with that go You ballots for getting in competitions um I think it’s it’s it’s the one aspect where I think that

He’s more challenging definitely um but um as you said you know I used to I sometimes joke I should play more off less off and more often you sometimes if I have a a couple of weeks off don’t play the first game back my expectations have changed a little bit and you just

Playing rather than agonizing about what am I doing right what am I doing wrong you’re just trying to hit the thing so um I think definitely kind of you see that with the top players as well they take a bit of time out they spend a bit

Of time with their family they come back and they’re freshened up and they play well so maybe one tournament to get back match SHP but what what do you think it takes now to be someone that can win on tour repeatedly what what do you see in

Their game that is an asset do you think it’s more leaned towards driving and distance still now I think onour yeah or do you think it’s it’s it’s short game and putting it it’s long game if you look at the world rankings the top guys

Are all the big hitters and and I think Tor golf is geared that way I don’t think it has to be I think when you get the best the best courses will bring out you know Sor grass you know Fred Funk one around Sor grass you know Macaro won

Round there you get long and short hitters winning round there because the the course asks the right test your harbort town you you Fitzpatrick winning round there you okay he’s not short but he’s you know he’s not I guess he kind of is a bomber out but but you get a

Different kind of player winning on those courses and and I think a lot of the tour courses disproportionately suit because of the setup of the course they’re going to Resort courses a lot they suit someone who can just Smash It miles um but then you get the majors and

Then they ask the different questions and those really I think are the true test of the game I think the thing that you see more than anything now with youngsters on tour they all come out ready they and I I don’t I don’t think that’s necessarily

The coaching I I believe that’s the the the experience that they get to Lou it’s the the the depth of competition and the the depth of how good golfers are and they’re already feeling the heat of playing you know the official world rankings for for Amer golfers they’re

Already feeling the nerves and what it means to be world number one as an amateur or 23rd in the in the in the world rankings but I think there’s also add to that that they they are all going about their games in a professional way already as well you you you’re not you

Know you’re not just go just going to throw a couple of balls down and hit this or not do a proper they’re all in the gym the same way the top Pros are they’re all got you a similar structure to their practice um and I think that

That partly also leans us a smoother transition across great so we’ve got an exciting trip coming up cost aino yeah um f you’re captaining a team yeah I know better practice is they yes yeah the dates uh 14th to the 18th of May so let’s do a little later this year than

Last year yeah so exciting trip over three golf courses at the Cav Ino Resort the five teams go out they are groups of 12 they play within their team go out to dinner within their team yet we’ve got functions during the the week that allows everyone to come together so it’s

A a small intimate group yet in a big trip and I think that’s what has worked really well for us that’s where the the team aspect really kind of makes that work and you’ve got you know you hopefully 50 to 60 people there um who there’s you it’s competitive every team

Is as we saw last year was aching to beat you uh I mean to beat one another um and you got some you know with the clinics where everyone gets together there some there some great information there and then there are the challenges which again that that adds a little bit

Of little bit of spice to to those twoo so I think we were so for with the the group that came last year um you know it couldn’t from our side of things it couldn’t have gone better and just can’t wait to to get going on this year no

Absolutely and we’ve got a website going live as of next Monday called team challeng trophy.com so do go over and check that out if you want to find out about the event or you can reach out to me Stuart precision gool.co.il bring your friends along yeah five

Captains is myself yourself uh got Roger Chapman um PJ Senior Tour major Champion double major Champion yeah Le sparrow and we’ve got Paul nestling as well and we’re looking like having another team next year with a really uh super exciting individual as well so we’re

Looking to grow it yet we can keep it intimate at at a super super venue yeah so let’s talk a little bit about we’ve obviously had the Callaway come out this week the caway new Callaway driver we’ve done some good content on the Callaway driver what are your initial thoughts on

On how it’s performing with well against it’s not in in store yet but the Embargo is lifted so we can officially talk about it now um and so the the Paradigm the AI smoke um so as with pretty much every brand they’re trying to save weight to to

Position it more optimally in the head um probably the main progression actually the biggest change with the Cal range is the draw bars head um that that is one of the most draw bar heads I have ever seen when when I was testing and doing the initial um review video um I

Made a swing and it felt like I flipped it and you kind of go did I do that in my swing or not and then you hit it again it flips again and that’s the Fairway and the driver so um for anyone who who misses with a left to right or a

Fade SL sliced bias um that think that’s that from my instinct that is going to absolutely destroy any other draw Bast option from a you how how much of a right hand miss it can counter really really impressive um you know Fairways are strong the the fairways were good

Last year uh and there’s not a huge change in the triple diamond and the standard um um smoke versus Paradigm but they were great heads anyway um still the shallower profile in the standard Paradigm um but the triple diamond Drive isn’t quite as volatile like the spin

Got quite low if you got the Paradigm Triple Diamond out the toe it knuckled off quite a bit um so you know the low spin’s great but it it it verged on going too far for some for quite a lot of players so that’s been softened back

A little bit but it’s still a very low spin head and any work Whispers on equipment that’s coming out that might well the the Embargo on PING lifts tomorrow so a couple of products from tomorrow I talk about but one one of theirs is is particularly good 3 uh 3

P.m. tomorrow and James said y that that’ll lift and we’ll post a video on that tomorrow um and I believe we can now talk about the uh the Muno product um which we’ve got a couple of bits here which I’ll bring those fantastic fantastic so we’ve got uh Ian Linford

What handicap do you think Christos would need to be to go to tour school well it is scratch or professional so it’s not um yeah so it’s always just been once you get to scratch you can enter tors school and if you are a member of the PGA or a professional tour

You can go to Q school but if you’re playing off scratch you’re not good enough yeah um so it’s it’s a very much a case of see how low you can get and if you feel you’re ready then go but if you’re playing off of scratch even plus

One maybe plus two you’re still barking up the wrong tree because if you got a tour player to play your local golf course around 6,500 yards in good condition they’d be kicking it around in 800 in a half look the classic example that is you know where where I play my

INX plus 2.5 um had a 66 in the comp last year um and um James Morrison his home club’s the same one and in the Nelson trophy couple of years about he shot 62 yeah they go around it with their eyes shut on that so you’ve got to

Be I think you if you’re the length of course you’re talking about um you got to be shooting 5 six under every time you go out um to even have a chance of of main tour just making cuts um I think it’s it people underestimate just how

Good those players are they they had it a long way they had it straight they put ho it for fun from 6 8 10 they short game like that that um yeah but also and also the greens that we play on the club golf are so flat and running pretty slow which makes

Putting easier and the pins are easy compared to those it’s just yeah I mean I play remember playing um when I was playing fulltime as an amateur the open was at Sandwich 2003 and the Grand Challenge Club was there three weeks before um and I think first round

Actually dogged it but I down it like God and shot 72 shot one or two over and then you look at the pin positions that they had on the first day and some of them didn’t even look like they were on the green um and they’re shooting 64

Yeah so ex so the new Muno yeah the the two 24 series Muno Pro 24 series so little bit of a showcase there so you got the uh the 241 is the blade 243 has a sort of slight cavity in um little bit of face Tech and the 245 that looks like

A blade is a pocket cavity and hollowed out cavity so um they look very like MP5 M be 25 um in terms of the shaping um really focusing on on the blow putting the muscle behind the strike point um centering the weight to make it feel

More solid uh and then in the um 243 that similar kind of centered muscle but they they’ve got in a little bit more of a cavity into the to and using the face a little bit more for a bit more speed 245 uh they’ve actually got about 50%

More Tung in the head it’s gone from 30 G to 47 gr um so that’s that’s really get to the center of gravity down thinning the face out getting a bit more speed yeah lovely um and any players using them as we speak do you know uh

Well because in baras if they’ve not really talked too much about it but I believe um for this series and with the performance going on ball speed from the the two you Tech based heads um they will certainly have gained reasonable I mean miso don’t have as many tour Pros

As they used to and that’s one of the aspects where you don’t see a huge amount of Muno coverage on tour now because you know Keith Mitchell Luke Donald there aren’t too many more um but uh you certainly you know I I would imagine they’d all particularly into the

Blades switch straight into those if they’re playing blades already Michael Barber asks hi guys having watched other golf channels some of them are saying players are now starting to prefer graphite over steel shafts in their irons what’s your thoughts on this please um only if it’s relevant to the

Player I think um you know people will only choose them if they work or should only choose them if they work there is no Trend uh basically the majority of stronger players will go into steel shaft simply because um a graphite at a heavier weight there’s so much Wool Wool

Material um that they end up they can feeling quite dead um and also there’s a cost element to it as well that can’t be can’t be ignored I mean on the axioms you’re looking at you know 100 120 pound a club just for the shaft if you’re

Doing a rebuild where you’re you know 60 to 80 for top grade most top grade steel so um it’s not necessarily it’s a bit cost prohibitive for some um but just from a performance point of view the the yes graphite those Composites now because there’s so much more material they can

Actually do an awful lot more with the structure um but because of the nature of the material and the way the way it sets up from a a balance point of view it just doesn’t suit that many people yet um I can see there being more of a

Trend towards it but it’s not a it’s definitely not a trend it’s just because it’s more available yeah interesting one thing that I was going to ask you and I’d forgotten earlier on in the show are they spearmint or peppermint your trousers um I would imagine that these

Um being uh Vineyard Vines right for anyone who’s interested um they would be some kind of Ocean Spray or something like that I don’t I don’t know what they’re actually called well I mean they’re definitely experiment in my in my books C they’re definitely not they’re definitely not winter green know

What mints are in the US they tastes absolutely vile so big year ahead May for M who who do we think is going to have a big Year lovely to see vas we talked about pre pre- Christmas nice to see him back in the winners enclosure

Had a great start to the week I’m not sure where he finished up bad I think eight under first round first first round who do we think’s going to have a have a big year who’s going to kick us off and win win The Masters do you think

I I would put money on holand being a winner of one of them got it um I think the majors are I need you to ask about the Masters I will will come back to that Masters I think is very weather condition dependent I think there are

Players Rory should do well but he won’t um I think we’re going to become the anti-ar but I think I think R Augusta he has the perfect game for auguster is the height he hits it the draw base shape that he hits it he he just it is such a

Big deal for him now that I kind of feel like it might be he might win one when he’s stopped caring about and do you know what I was just about to interject with you there because I think Rory is in that phase of his life where I think he’s let go

Of not there yet maybe but he’s letting go of the live ambassadorship so you turning towards Rory yeah I I I think he’s I think Rory’s going to have a big ear this year I’ve got something in water that I think just matured I think maybe someone’s had

A had a had a word in his in his ear the back of Valhalla the PJ yeah okay where he won yeah and and that that might be enough oh I’ve won there before yeah have a good kickoff with with somewhere the Masters is he playing I

Would think he’s going to play in one of the in the Rolex event maybe at the magist in in the Emirates not this week but next week have thought so he has done historically W in Dubai coup times that’s I fancy Rory to have a big year

This year any others um I think well I’m Max Homer right I think he he’s he’s trending everything’s trending towards him you know having a you know a break I say breakout year he’s a world he’s a top top worldy player but I think in

Terms of maybe is there a major win in there quite possibly I think he just everything’s moving in the right direction for him uh I say I think hovland um is very hard to look past him you still Ram Sheffer you know there are a lot of them

Um it’s going to be a fascinating one some say it’s tough to win on all and you can understand why right the other majes are Pinehurst and TR yeah so not Piner is a bit of a tricky venue I I caded at trun in 2004 good good venue good venue

Interesting venue and easy if you look at Stenson and mikkelson yeah yeah Justin Leonard won there when I was when I wored out that year that would be 97 okay maybe it wasn’t him that he won that year 2004 was Todd Hamilton yes it was with his son yeah good

Man good how is the Forgiveness on the 245 compared to the 225 uh so uh let me see let me just put um let me just put the 225 together and I can just hit one out the toe on both of them okay yeah sounds good any excuse

To get a swing in anyway uh driving driving range King have you ever done a driver fit for descent angle or is there a reason why not so um descent angle on the driver you so descent angle on the driver is really something that is a byproduct of

Getting good launch and spin so it’s more important on irons because you’re trying to get the ball to stop um whereas the the spin rate will and and at high speeds the spin rate is more important because it’s it’s going to be you know you’re going to get height

Anyway for loads of ball speed so it’s got back spin stall it’s got lower back spin it’s coming out forwards and runs out um at lower speed it’s the launch angle is much more important um give or take so so actually you you can descent angle is a number that you can bring

Into a driver fit but actually I tend not to simply because the other numbers are more important right I’m glad you understood that question because I didn’t understand that at all um the sent angle is referring to land angle lit yeah land yeah okay so yeah so in the main you kind of

Immediately went angle of attacki was refering okay yeah so in the main you’d be looking at you know a 679 you want 45 degrees is your magic number for for a land angle you driver 30 but if you got high speed it’s going to get up high

It’s going to land steeper than that so as long as you’ve not Got Back Spin it’s not grabbing when it lands and Tony C asks can you get hold of nspr AMC if not what is the next best shaft so the NS Pro the AMC is one they did for I

Believe it’s tiess 880 AMC’s um the 850 I mean AMC ascending Mass um concept I think um but essentially every taper end shaft is an ascending Mass so you know the AMT uh True Temper shafts is just a more steeply pitched version of it so um

But the nipon it’s not as exaggerated so um if it’s the 880s that you’re talking about then the 850s would be the closest to let’s see W one one out the toe and what one out the heel oh is the toe really more than you want I’ll start

With the um the 225 I put the same shaft in that’s in the other on so um if I’ll do one well got actually seven IR make sure the back doesn’t click and six signs or seven uh six six so I’ll try and get one solid one and then

Uh that was a reasonable one so 142 smash on that that was out the middle you’re not going to be good be lucky yeah ex um right let’s see if I can get one to side so I’m going to address it even further inside that I normally do because that

Get I might have got closer to that was only a little bit to little bit to much but you dropped 137 so it’s dropped off a few miles now your 10 yards from being a little bit too side yeah if you are enjoying the content do

Give us a share and a like and why not smash the Bell so you get notifications of the content that we’re producing I’m such a child um talking about myself not St there right so you get there’s a little bit more of a click off of these because

Lovely clicky clicky sound the club head’s got it’s got chromalloy so it’s a different kind ofal Chromo or chromalloy depending how you pronounce it it’s a it’s an alloy so slightly harder than a standard mild carbon steel which they’re forged out of in the past um to make

Them more durable resilient but also stiffens the frame which means the energy goes back into the face or ball speed so 145 efficiency for one middled with that one um but it also makes them harder sound and a bit more of a click y so let’s get this a bit

Toy that was quite toy I think we are going into extra time here people we don’t normally do this but s wanted to it some so we we’ve overrun it’s had nothing to do with me the interesting bit though is so it’s actually it’s a similar drop off but just from a higher

Base efficiency so what the 245 does isn’t necessarily more forgiving than the 225 it’s faster it’s a faster face so there’s more ball speed for off the 245 and the 225 is that as much toe as you’ve got I can get it more out the toe

Than that come on come on let’s let’s see if proper let’s see if let’s get a proper one at the time almost miss it oh that should be on the um there we go yeah there we go that’s more like it and now there isn’t a club head out that

That can save you if that kind of St yeah I mean that’s that’s your Sunday morning forams you’re on a went straight though yeah you had a bit of a hangover that thing’s twisting in your hands and making liter impact felt it yeah just twisting so predictions for the Muno range this

Year it’s an interesting one I think um they’re you they make quality make quality irons so the bit that I think has changed a little bit the spin rate’s not quite as high as it was on the 22 Series so that might make a difference um in that does it differentiate as much

Of some of the other models and it is that slightly clicker sound I think there’s still good very good there’s more ball speed off than this year so it competes on other levels but has it my only kind of internal thought is does it um that’s a really stupid comment

Because clearly all thoughts are internal um but is has it lost a little bit of the Muno Essence About It by having by where they’ve gone up in Tech they’ve actually lost some of the feel that people like and in comparison with other brands and models does that does

That help help them because they’ve gained the tech side or does it hurt them because they’ve lost that you know that tagline nothing feels like a mzo well this definitely doesn’t feel like the old school Munos there’s there is a different sound of note off of it and

But the performance is stronger than they ever before so plus minus yeah Neil Aon 14 yards longer off the same speed um well I assumed my club speed have gone up a bit but if it hasn’t well I saw the efficiency went from 142 to

145 okay but the spins less so by about 5 600 revs I think on that one so um on those shots so that would have an impact as well and we’ll we take up until uh Kevin Taylor um Nelly Nelson uh I’ve been chasing speed and now I hit 174

Milph of ball speed last night maximum effort my G 430 Max is now spinning too much I would like to build a low spin high fade driver angle of attack is 5 to 7 Up out in path recommend anything for him oh that’s one of those where um

Certainly I’m not Mystic Meg um ultimately if you if you’ve got that much angle of attack then your swing direct the the club face stability I would say if you got that much speed you don’t need to be hitting up on it that much actually if you temper that down

You’re going to get more face control because the more up on it the more rot the more it’s trying to rotate around so um I I would I would say that you’re going to hit hit it to the moon back at that angle of attack with your bull speed um so

Um really it’s going to need not a lot of Loft and something like a one of the safest heads would be LST Tech g430 um but I would say there is some angle of attack things to look at which would give you more face control yeah Kevin

Taylor thoughts on the KBS TD driver shafts what is shaft profile and what would you compare it to so the TD I mean KBS are best known for their iron shafts um the TD is an interesting one it it it’s a very stable feeling shaft so it’s the equivalent of quite a

Kind of low torque um profile which actually there Iron shafts have always been that’s been one of their design principles is is from a graphic point of view is to keep it low torque to feel like perform like the steel and so they’ve taken some of that into the TD

Tour driven that stands for so they they tend to sit in the lower half of the weight brand so I.E low 60s low 70s rather than upper 60s which most do um but I would say they they they’re generally a Shar for someone who’s a bit more a hitter

Because there’s not a lot of feedback out of them profile wise there’s a little bit of give the middle middle um sorry little bit given the tip but low talk they they say slightly firmer feeling shaft than most what was the last bit of that question um let me just

Um thoughts on the KB TD driver shaft what is the shaft profile and what would you compare it to it’s an interesting interesting one to compare it to because it actually it’s it’s there’s not an awful lot that feels like it um it tends

To be a bit of a kind of unicorn sha when it works it really works or it really doesn’t work um for for an individual so I might have to think about what to compare it to because it’s there’s not an awful lot that relates to from a

Certainly from a feel and a swinging point of view interesting well as usual Simon has flexed his mental muscle and expertise when it comes to club shs and Equipment it always uh impresses me uh big thank you to Young Christos yeah didn’t he do well I mean yeah that’s not
