i have the same problem, i was launching 7 iron at 28 degrees sometimes, i just got fitted into p790 with extra stiff shafts even though i have a slower swing speed than yours, the big difference i found that never got mentioned in your fitting was i got fitted into a stiffer ball. the callaway tour chrome x it dropped my launch angle also, might be worth trying a different ball than your normal.

Nice, Ross! Always interesting to see how you fit different swings. A side note: I have the Mizuno JPX 923 Forged with the same shaft that I have in a bunch of other irons - same length and everything - and they feel by far the lightest of any of my iron sets. Even lighter than the sets of blades with that shaft.

Great fitting, seemed quite similar to mine! Jack seemed like a pretty perfect client with a clean swing 😄 loving my P770’s, I think the straight push he sometimes misses with may be down to delivering the toe around 2° down which naturally will push the ball right, I had the same issue and a lesson last week sorted it out. Your combo and advice seems to have fixed it for him!

What a swing for 11 hcp! Great fit. Do you usually try the swing tweaks at the end or start of the fit?
@epgolfstudios
7 ай бұрын
It depends on the player really, skill level, what we want to do with the swing and how that would affect the outcome, with Jack as he had good speed so regardless of the fact he launched it high we would never have gone to a lower lofted club anyway (to try and bring height down) because he would just hit it miles and could bring it that low spin when he turns it over. So the fit would have been similar regardless of if we did the swing stuff before or after. Hence why I probably did it after. It would always have been in his plans to get his Aoa more down and take off more loft so a more lofted iron set enables him to grow into them and improve.

@cameronloveless1751

Two things to say: 1) he only REALLY peppered the green once he got the right club & shaft combination. And important to remember he hasn’t been playing with that setup to reach his 11 HCP 2) as a 12.8 HCP who hits it as least as far as Jack, I know very well what an “ugly short game” looks like😢. Putting’s fine, but as a person who swings fast, ask me to swing slowly and strike goes completely out the window. I’ve been known to put from 30 yards off the green to avoid chipping/pitching! It’s an absolute nightmare

Fr the outset, despite his near PGA 7i speed of 90mph, his strike points are low due to (1) high Dynamic Loft because of no shaft lean (2) low compression due to high launch (>20 deg😱), low strikes caused by shallow AoA (120g with X flex).

@epgolfstudios
8 ай бұрын
Absolutely you can yeah. For Jack right now I don't think it's completely necessary. We were using Chromesoft which is his gamer. Pretty mid spin ball really. When he hit a good one this spin was getting up towards the 6k which is great. And bearing in mind that it will spin more off grass and his high initial launch I wouldn't want it spinning much more than that at the moment. The next part is all about getting that aoa down and less delivered loft. That will naturally reduce launch and increase spin 👌

You are borderline so I would test both along with analysing which would be better for you swing dynamic and miss. But I am always a believer in you have more control over shorter clubs.

I wanted to go X as he's strong and speed will only get quicker as technique improves. And there's not many 120 X shafts, 110 would be too light. But the 130 was definitely a better weight for him.

So difficult to hit that many full swings in a row without a break, stretching, etc. I split my fitting up over 3 different sessions to keep my swing fresh and consistent. I am a heavy down striker so my ball contact is pretty violent and takes a bit of energy to complete.

Yeah it does depend on the player. 50/60 shots most people are ok with. But also if I feel the player will really struggle then I will get them hitting less shots with each and give them breaks. And I always recommend splitting up a full bag fitting!

Would be the opposite. P770 will spin more than his irons and not go as far. Those 3 will all tie into each other. The launch and spin will all depend on delivery. Get the peak height and angle of descent on the right place and the others will fall into line generally. Spin is more important for some players than others. Just depends on the delivery, speed and miss

@@epgolfstudios general statement/question. With stronger lofted irons becoming the norm I’m seeing a 5000-5500 spin rate indoors. But, optimally we’d want to see 6500. Unless the player hit a target descent angle then maybe spin at 1000 less wouldn’t be as bad. I’m not criticizing you or the guy you fit. Was just something I’ve observed. Seems like players would rather give up spin for distance in my opinion.

@@nikmc7539 yeah in general I'd agree with that statement for sure, which I don't love for a lot of people, especially slower swing speeds, but again there are a shed load of variables in there so it will be different for everyone. Most people don't have the speed to generate 6.5k spin and wouldn't benefit from it anyway. In Jack's case he hits everything super high, but didn't want too lower loft for him as didn't want spin getting mega low. The 770 is a nice balance where it's quite traditionally lofted and spins pretty well (compared to other irons) but it's pretty forgiving too. When he gets that angle of attack down more consistently that will generate lower launch and more backspin which will be beautiful 👌

With almost PGA 7i speed, it’s a shame he is still an 11 Hdcp simply because of his shitty ball striking. Less than 10 degrees of shaft lean (probably caused by his tendency to hang back) means less than ideal Launch, Smash Factor, flat AoA, lower Spin, etc. He needs more a 15 min lesson on swing mechanics/ball striking than club fitting.
@epgolfstudios

Yup all those things we go over in the video, and I also spent about half an hour with him at the end showing him how to get angle of attack down to improve strike and ball flight so he's on the right path. Unfortunately golf is hard, the vast majority of golfers aren't the best ball strikers. I see this tendency with soo many players. Even ones that are getting lessons. Unfortunately the average standard of coaching isn't great
