Golf mates, welcome down to another video. Today, have you ever got one of these friends who have been fitted, played the best golf he has done for years, all these beautiful clubs, all fitted for him, and then all of a sudden, I’ll have a change. Well, this is eBay Pete. This exactly what this man’s done. He had a bag of Callaways, all custom fit for him at Caris Green Golf Club, and then he played some amazing golf. Then all of a sudden, he’s decided to change him. Has he made a good decision or a bad decision? Or more importantly, why have you done it? Can’t help myself. Listen, we’re going to play fields. We’re here at Bry Golf Club. What a golf course this is. Just look at the drone footage. Absolutely stunning. Right, I’m going to let you tee off. I’ll play with you and let’s find out why you’ve changed all your fitted clubs. Is it for the better or worse? I’ll show you. Lovely parley here at Bur Golf Club. Show us why you’ve changed them lovely Callaway irons to these Mizuno irons. No warm up, anything. All he’s been in the net, he’s had a lesson. He’s been a rage. He’s done everything. 79 in hand. And that’s why he’s changed them. If that bounces, oh, what a hard bounce this is. Well, and that’s why you don’t get fitted. You just buy anything you want off eBay, pick it up off the rack, and just like that, Tommy Cooper. But there is a story about them, isn’t there? There is. When he got fitted, he had callaways in these mizunos. I’ll pull up there what they are cuz I’m not a you know I’m not a golf geek I don’t know but there was hardly anything in them. No there’s a yard in them. Okay. So if we look at the distance there’s actually only one yard in it. Yeah. So they’re pretty much carrying exactly the same distance on them them average of the six shots you’ve hit. So the reason you’ve changed your irons is because they got stolen. Correct. And then you f with the insurance money you’re changing to the mazunos. Correct. But and these go a little bit higher. Now if we look at the height the callaway is going a little bit higher than the mazuno. which you did want the extra height. So that’s the Callaway, the AI smoke HL elevate 85 g shaft one degree flat lie angle and standard length. Yeah, brilliant. Like yourself. Uh great shot. Well done. No pressure on me. It’s a lovely strike. That was mint. Good shot as well. Well done. Fit fitted clubs. You see fitted clubs. Who fitted them for you? Myself. Brilliant shot. He’s got a new putter. HP soft mil 14. A Cleveland. You had a Scotty Cameron last time. So is that gone? Gone. Where? Okay. So what has this been fitted for you? Of course it has. Has it? By myself. You could put everyone about fitting. Not a business. Well, the the irons are fitted. They’re the right line, loft, and all that. True. Well, I want I want to see cuz I know you’ve got a new driver, right, for a birdie. Well, I don’t know how fast these are going to be. So, Oh, yeah. We’ve not had a put to be honest. That’s a good part to start with, isn’t it? Eh, see, you’ve seen this now. If this was smaller, you’d probably buy one of these. Pete, what’s that? It rolls well. Oh, honestly, come. It’s It’s not about me. This There you go. That’s a nice good three. Well done. Good par, sir. Thank you. With your unfitted clubs. Right. Let’s get on this next. So, it’s a par four. Let’s see what driver’s got because this ain’t fitted. Ain’t fitted. Unfitted driver. What’s this one? Right. This is So you don’t know. You don’t you you don’t. It’s a tight list. TS1 R1 set at A1. What’s that mean? 10°. 10°. But what’s A1 mean? Well, that’s means it’s standard. Standard loft. Well, I didn’t know that. Okay. And where have you bought this from? Uh, that was off uh golf clubs for cash. Giving everyone a plug here. And how much did you pay for that? Well, I want a refund now. Just give him a plug. How much? Uh, it was 200 something quid. Can’t remember. Right. Okay. I don’t know. I don’t no idea what the but right here we go. Pour 370 yards dog leg left to right. Driver might be too much. It looks like it’s going to run forever. Very lengthy. Oh. Oh. See, a fitted one would have done that. Oh, that’s having a right few bounces around the corner. That’s the first time we’ve done that in about 3 weeks. Is it? Yeah. You reckon it’s the pressure? I think it’s the pressure of the camera. But it’s not the club, is it? No, it’s not the club. Definitely. Great drive. It’s not a little bit fur. Yeah, it should be all right, shouldn’t it? Yeah, it be all right. Got about 215, have we? Something like that. Yeah, but they’ve already told us, Dave, the green keeper, he’s told us it’s called the Bury Bounce. The mans were terrible shots, but we’re going to I think it’s not going to play nothing like it. He’s got a fitted fivewood Callaway smoke. Look at that. Nice shot. Jesus. I see what I mean about the run here. It’s not stopping. Green 195. That’s a great shot. Would you believe that? How much it ran there? I know. Went for miles then it should have been three. What? A good shot that sir. A good shot. What’s that? See you don’t need a driver and it’s like this. No. So the video is it’s a proper good video about fitted clubs. Now I believe in him a lot. But you’ve kind of it’s a bit of a 50/50 this one cuz your irions were fitted. They were fitted. But everybody else weren’t. Your driver you just had a go. Your drivers have not been fitted. No. So it’s it’s a funny one. This I want you to comment below. Do you believe in fitting or not? I personally think if it helps a small bit, it helps a lot. Oh yeah. I agree with the a line the line’s one of the main things is it called for miles it terrible shot you got a little flick in here we thing is it’s a great line in but I’m on the other fur way but it’s not about me it’s about me oh 08 0800 no I can’t be asked for it it’s e baby put a bit right Liam what have you got in 130 but I’m just going to go 110 shot. Good strike. Needs to kick right, mate. Oh, a bit like me. Scared of this B bounce. Get me 56 on it. 56 degree. I don’t know what his wedges are. Played a great shot here, Pete. Pete, what are your wedges? Oh, they’re not fitted either. What are they? Tailor made. So, we used to have fitted Mizuno wedges. What? You like the Mizuno wedges? I like these as well. These have been uh these have been uh lofted and lied, though. Yeah, but you you did like your Mizuno wedges, didn’t you? What were fitted? I’ still got the Mizuno wedge. It’s gone over his head. Do you think you should get fitted? Would you like Yeah, I think you should. Yeah. So, why do you keep changing? Do you think it’s like uh something you’ve got wrong with you? Well, mess are fitted. The only thing fitted, a driver, they can’t really fit a driver. And your wedges. Yeah, that’s just a question. Do you think All right, then. Do you think you’ll change your setup soon? No. How long? Oh, years. What do you reckon, golf mates? Everyone shake it. Presley, what do you reckon? Two weeks. Two weeks. Thanks for the confidence. Now, this is a good hit. Come on. Come on. Come on. It’s a big high m it. You give that a good whack as well, didn’t you? Oh, well I only did cuz that McKenzie was so deep. There’s nothing wrong with that. Yeah. Five in. Can I have it out, sir? I think it’s a low stroke index if you know. Yeah, I have to. It was a bad drive on it. Both will. We just got away with it. Can I have it out? You certainly can. Hold on a minute. Now you go on about fitting. Where’s the uh where’s this putter come from? Oh, B pro shop for a giggle. Make a video. Is it fitted? Well, I don’t think you can fit these, can you? It could get fitted for you. Could be about there, won’t it? Uh, no, it’s not. But I bought it for a laugh, but I’m doing really well with it. So, I only got this for content. Right. Go on then. Well, let you off. Oh, very good. Very good. But what I am going to say, I got some comments about I thought if you’re an amateur, you can anchor it. So, I don’t know if you’re anchoring it is your wrist here. I’ve not got me hand there. Just got my wrist there. So, I don’t think that’s anchoring, but pros are not how to do it or amateurs can. So, I could be cheating or not. I don’t know. I’ll have to look into it. Do you know the rule? I’ve got no idea, M. I’m not have one of them funny putters. No, but you will have shortly. The way you’re going. What I will say, if you’re in this neck of the woods, Bry Golf Club are doing a deal. If you ring up and say you’re a golf mate, in the week you can play here for 30 quid. So, you can tell I’ve just been running. We got 380 y par4 wind in. But we just think if you hit that fur it’s going to bounce bounce bounce. I’ve got four iron. Now I’m starting to think it’s the wrong club. It’s a great hit. Them trees weren’t there. It’s bit all right that shouldn’t it? It’s a good hit, isn’t it? Should be f Is it drawing? Oh, is it, Pete? Right down the middle. Right on the line. What a bounce, Pete. Left. Go left. Go left. Go left. Go left. Go left. Right, Pete. Two drives. A snap up left and a lovely high draw. Yeah. Why did you change your driver when that were fitted for you? Cuz you had the Callaway this small big. So you can see with the the Mazuno and the Callaway were definitely definitely the best two for you there, but you’re getting more roll out with the Callaway. The spin’s better with the Callaway. The heights fairly similar, but you gain a lot more distance. So for you, Pete, Callaway AI smoke. Yeah, I did. I just I didn’t like the look of it behind the ball. You know, you set up to it just didn’t That’s a great question. Just didn’t give me the Do you think that’s important if you don’t like the look of the club? Doesn’t matter if all the numbers are right mentally in your head. You got to like it, haven’t you? Right. So, okay. You stood over think I don’t like this a lot. It’s in your head, is it? Probably. This That’s a great question. Come on. Answer below. Yeah. Go. If you like I mean, this is to the go. If you like the look of a club, will it help you get a good shot? Because in fear, if it’s got all the wrong sha shaft and light, it shouldn’t. But is it in big important that you like the look of it? Yeah, I think it is. Oh, we’ll find out with the questions. Absolutely. That’s a good one. Y all right. I think I’m on the fur wheel down there. This is Oh my god, what a golf ball this is. God, you’ve got to run some left, Pete. Ain’t you? Absolutely. Six. Oh, this is a low shock index. You can see. Wow. What a beautiful dog leg. What a great approach. That don’t look easy that Pete does it, doesn’t you? Six. Six down that left hand side in that left hand bunker. I think I I think so, mate. Yeah, the bounces will do it. Yeah. It’s like that. Is that a mother-in-law? That’s the way to do it. Go on. Go on. Keep going. That’s disgusting. Keep going. That was a mother-in-law’s shot. Whoa. Stop there. Whoa. Whoa. What’s a mother-in-law shot, Pete? You’re up there, but you know it shouldn’t be. You’re going to take that, are you? I am going to take it. That was an awful thing. That Yeah, but here’s a good one. With a swing like that. Yeah. It don’t matter if you fitted, does it? No, it doesn’t. No. No. If you miss it, it doesn’t make any difference. True. This angle you’re coming in, you got to really fly it in, aren’t you? I don’t think I can, though, can I? It’s hard, isn’t it? Yeah. I just think you can’t hold it, can you? Or can you? 135. I’ got wedge open just short of that bunker and kick it right. Oh, that’s that’s short. That’s going right in the bunker. Oh, it’s kick left. How’d you get a kick left off that? Don’t you do after you f the ass off of that one? That was that was a punch. Uh, do you know what I didn’t take in consideration there? Well, my downhill lie pushing it right. Okay. How did that go? Right. Well, you’re very bitter for someone who’s, you know, buying new clubs every week. Ah, go mom. If you’re new to the channel, welcome. I’m Liam. And now you understand his nickname is called eBay Pete. Golf clubs for cash and everywhere else he wants to plug. Oh, bounced left. How did his ball bounce left? We don’t We don’t know the Hey, who? Me or him? Him. It bounced left. Elder. It bounced left. You got to put a spin on it. You need an over the top swing. Yeah. What have you got there, Pete? 60°. I’m in way then, aren’t I? Sorry. Oh, Jesus. So, this video is about fitted clubs or not. He got fitted for these clubs and then you were playing great. Now he’s changed them. And look what these look what’s happening. What do you reckon, lads? Fitted or not? Fitted. Fitted. Fitted. No. Come on, get on me side. Oh, so they’re sitting on the fence here. Do you want me to play that again, Pete? We out of turn. Well, you’re out of turn anyway. So, two shot penalty. Hey, it’s ready golf. All right, we’re a par. Come on down. Come on. That well. Great weight. Yeah. I thought it was going to come down a bit more. And that second put. Oh, take it away. We’re doing all right till he’s turned up, haven’t we? Well, I’ve done it now. Oh my god. Such an old hole. This isn’t it, Pete. Very hard. Not about 50 clubs, does it? That’s stroke one. Right after that 26, we’ve got 390 power four. Probably play a bit longer. Oh, if we can hit a fur and it can run, run. Not that way. Send it over a little bit. Try and draw it. Can it blue? What is it? A little blue. No. No. I think that’ll be all right. No way bounce left, is there? All right. Show us where the f is, Pete. That’ll be all right there. It’ll run forever. That. So, as you you might not see it here now, but you’re not going to believe there’s a tailor made fitting truck over there. So, I hope eBay don’t hit it with this unfitted tightless driver. Shot, mate. Is that little that little fade you want? God, that unfitted driver is it in drawers and no fades. You’re a machine. It’s everything, son. It’s all It’s all in the hands. Have you seen what’s over there? It’s not too late to come now. We got to have a look. See, you can’t help yourself, can you? Can we go and have a look cuz you want to buy something, don’t you? I want to see what they’ve got. No, we’re making a video. You can’t keep buying golf clubs. You’ve got to come here, chops. Right. This is Colin from Burer. He’s watched many of videos. Do you think eBay Pete has got a problem with buying clubs and changing them? Yes. He’s just he’s just said he’s going to keep this setup for over a year. Do you agree? No, he won’t do it. And how long? Before you get to that tent, he’ll have a club ready. Right, Pete. So, it’s allowed getting fitted there. Yeah. Are you going to tell him best thing you’ve ever done or don’t do it? Get on eBay. The cheaper. Oh, you going over and see if you got any cheap clothes. He can get another look. No, no, no, no, no, no. Good shot of yours. Good shot. Thank you, sir. Can be a long way in for me, but good shot, sir. I am for safety. Yeah, right. I’ve got seven irons. Going to get it back in play. 225. Should pull it left. This That’s all right, I think. It Yeah, you’re all right through now. You’re up there. God, I started off ever so well. It’s gone a bit shaky now. Unlucky that T-shot, Pete, was it? Yeah, it was really, but let’s see if we can hook it a bit. Oh, dear me. Oh, dear me. Oh, well, that was a render shot, wasn’t it? We were supposed to hook. Well, let’s see. 90 yards, but it’s uphill. So, I’m going 100 and it should stop. It’s going to go to your right a bit like it did on me. You aiming a bit left. Yeah. That’s awesome. That mate bounce it. It’s all right. It’s got a lovely holes it. Yeah, it’s got some great behind me. Look at all the the holes here. There’s some land in there at Bur. Right, Liam. These signs you’ve got. Have you were you fitting for those? Fitted myself. But you you fitted yourself. Oh, I got fitted with my Zunos. I have a rough idea what I had. So, I fitted myself. Yeah. Which I I’m maybe dry. I bet iron you can fit yourself personally. I do. Well, if you know you’re often li 100 yards. I want to try and hit this front at green and let it release. But not there. Am I aiming there? I pulled that. Oops. Oh my god. Where’s that gone? You’re throwing me off my gaming with all these questions you keep asking of me. I don’t like this Pete. Well, I’m glad I haven’t got it. Well, that’s not done too bad that. Can I just say on record that was a misset sign? Well, I thought you meant to do it. Oh, no. Did it actually giving that a rattle, mate? Get in. Oh, unlucky mate. Take it away. Maybe you changed your button. Just I think you’re rubbing off on me. Oh god. P double boggy. Borgie. Well done. Golf mates. It was just a curiosityist. I think he should have kept his fitted woods. That’s all I’m saying. But it’s just what’s the word? Gulps about enjoyment. If you like spending money and changing your clubs every three week, that’s up to you in it. Absolutely. And my wife, no, he’s not want to watch this golf better. Jo, on a serious note, thank you for watching. Thank you to lads, but thank you to Barry, James, Dave, Green Keeper, everyone. Definitely worth a visit. What a track this is. This is great, Nick, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s a good walk. And that doesn’t mean hilly. It just means there’s a lot of land in there. It’s nice. It’s great. What I mean by that, you’re not going up, down, up, down. Any golf mates, thanks for watching. See you soon. Don’t forget, should he stick with his clubs or will he buy some more?
