    Good luck Justin, now you can join the rest of the greedy mistakes. And Fred Wright, how do you know that TM decided to cut him out. I know they did that to Ernie.

    Elvis is the correct answer. Well done Gunter!

    Interesting comment on the look of an iron with a “pinched toe” giving that more up right appearance. Very cool to hear what some of these guys look for in appearance and how it affects their swing thoughts. Completely agree a flatter lying iron (like a long iron) promotes more wrist turn over to keep the ball from going right.

    Great stuff!

    JR:
    “Yeah, money, and er…. money, and yes, more money, and money. Makes sense, right?”

    Forget to turn the lights on? This looks like it was filmed in a closet.

      Filmed on a rainy dark night in the Riviera Clubhouse. Gotta work with what you have.

    Duhh….Rose switched to Honma because of Mark King. He was the one that signed Rose when he was with Taylormade and heavily influenced him to sign up with Honma since he is pretty much in charge of the company.

      He signed with Honma because Taylormade decided to cut him from the “team.” Taylormade is paying Tiger and Rory a ton of money to carry the Taylormade brand and needed to cut cost so they reduced the pros on staff. First it was Sergio and now Rose.

    Great content. Refreshing to see Rose comment on the Axis putter like he did — no point in beating around the bush that the Axis is an ugly stick. Tour pros are usually so vanilla in their commentary and try to couch everything to protect sponsorships; it was nice to hear some honest shop talk from a gear-head golfer.

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

Published

on

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.
