You are a role model for all the duffers who can’t break 100 playing right handed. Mehbe they should switch to the sinister side too… 😀

Andrew, awesome display of patience and having a plan, hope you reach all your lefty goals,

I did the same thing at the age of 51, now 8 years into the journey, need some clubs? Have a couple sets I can send you if you want some choices.

Love it. This is awesome. It’s a solid testament to the value of playing shots that make sense for the hole. Each hole is a problem set, play the shots the help solve the problem the best. Well done, sir. Well done.

Amazing! This is really great content and interesting to see/follow. Keep doing it and why not make some videos where you hit the range, practice etc. some as well.

Keep it up Tursk, all the best from Sweden

You’ve trained and played left handed before because you can’t transfer the kinematics of a right hand golf swing to the left side so quickly. Confess….

This is insane! Highly impressive. Really fun to watch. I do suspect that the road to 90 and below will, in comparison, take forever, but I would have bet money you wouldn’t have broken 100 on the first round out, so who knows.

  With the way he’s chipping and putting, I don’t really think it’ll be that far away. He left a handful of strokes on the course that could’ve been easily avoidable, and I suspect those kind of shots will start disappearing with a little more time on the course. As long as that short game doesn’t drop off, I’m pretty confident he can get under 90 relatively soon.

Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

Titleist GTS driver fitting: 10 handicap vs. +4 handicap

Published

GolfWRX Staff

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.

Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.

You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.
