To be fair to the fitter he was first class, worked with you accepting your attachment to rinky and the things you liked and very objectively showed you what the titleist could offer. A class act.
Watched your videos for years now and first time I’ve ever felt the need to comment and thats because this video I feel was fantastic and very valuable to me to see the questions you ask and the way you go about being fitted, absolutely fantastic, great work👍🏻
I bought my 718 AP2's last fall when they came out. But I got fit by Titleist at my regional center, and it has been the BIGGEST and BEST thing I have ever done to improve my game. The R+D they put into their clubs and then execute that by fitting it to the player is unsurpassed. And for the same reason, I watch you is that the R+D you have put into your teaching. Having the right tools in your hands, when you begin lessons or even are just practicing on your own, will develop the feel and touch that we all need in our game to improve and make the shots. Mark Crossfield and Titleist to me are a perfect match, please keep up the great work!
Very cool that Titleist did not whine, or complain, or throw a fuss at you keeping rinky. They simply stepped up to the plate and said we can provide the same or better, and here it is for you.
I think this just shows how you are helping us lot ask the right questions when we get fitted. I recall my 1st fitting 15 odd years ago & looking back I was being fitted by a sales person & I had very little input & certainly wasn't asked any relevant questions, These days when I go for a fit I am armed with so much more knowledge and understanding of what I want from the fitting session. Great work!
Thanks Mark, you're the only TH-cam golfer that gets hybrids! Others do their reviews, tell us they don't play them and how they'll pull them and then finish the review with a stock 'if you struggle with long irons then this might be for you' line. I play hybrids and love them not only because they suit my slower swing speed but because they're so versatile.
exactly. i had a similar negative attitude towards them as they werent around when i first played golf and im not too bad with long irons. now i have a 4 hybrid and a 2 iron in my bag. i can do so much more with a rinky than i can with a 4 iron and i can still pat a 2 iron down the middle of a fairway if needed.
Genuinly one of the most interesting videos you have shared. It shows that the relationship you have with your club(s) and the way you visualise your shots have so much influence over your game. As a mid to high handicapper I try to visualise so much and feel the shape and shot to improve, to quieten down all the noise about ball position, grip strength, club path etc.
Titleist are coming across really well in these videos. Classy approach to this joint venture with Mark. You can tell there is a real confidence in their products, this guy knows Rinky is not making the summer
Steve Watson Not likely Mark would trash Titleist is it. He is paid to market their clubs and he does a good job of it. I can see replacing Titleist with any other major club brand and have similar feel good episodes.
imho - great series of videos but this one by far the best tutorial on what a person can do with a club who has the knowledge of what can be done AND what a good fitter can do to help match what you want a club to do. it really does come back to player's ability in using the club and not so much the hype of what a club can do in the hands of the right player. 'does that make sense?' thanks again Mark. wish I could have had this info 60 years ago. might have kept me playing golf through my 30's and 40's rather than getting frustrated, stopping and waiting till I was 50 to start again.
Hands down one of your best videos ever Mark. Outstanding dialogue between you and the club fitter. Gives a great insight as to what we need to do while getting fitted for clubs ie play real shots.
This is my favorite video yet. I know you shared your knowledge on fitting, etc. before, but the actual application, especially with your favorite club, was enlightening.
Been watching your videos for years brah and this is up there with the very best. What a class act that fitter was, fascinating to see the interaction between you both and to see the benefit of custom my fit. RIP Rinky Dinks “Gone but never forgotten”
Now that was some great insight to how real club fitting truly is ! I have never been that well fit for anything in my neck of the woods .. Keep these type videos coming Mark , I truly enjoyed that !!
I love your comment about you “thinking of your shot” as opposed to just letting him control your shots. It’s right in line with your approach to teaching and I love it. Seems like he was taking his common ( not saying anything bad about the man) approach of shaft, different heads and physics approach but he soon learned you approach things in a more personal approach.....not necessarily by the book. My best go to club is my used Adams 4 hybrid from the bargain bin at a local golf shop. Senior shaft, inexpensive and a little beat up looking but man it’s my 165-180 club depending on what I need. 👍🏻
Can you imagine how good the average golfer would be if he afforded himself with a fitter like that guy,I think that's one of your best video's you've done
Really great video. Excellent point made about the visualization of being out on the course and hitting a golf shot vs. just hitting a club. These Titleist videos are wonderful!
Mark, outstanding sir! The information I get out of these is brilliant. Got to be one , if not the best sources for game improvement information available and it’s free! You deserve industry recognition for your creative content and contribution to the development of the sport imho. 👏🏻
Mark, your capability to strike the ball with such a relaxed manner and flow is just a sight for my sore eyes after watching myself swing. Keep up the great videos and give that stick you tried a go on the course a day or two, if it's even just a bit better, it's still an awesome club considering it's up against Rinky Dinks!
Favourite video ever. I love all these videos explaining why you choose the clubs you do. Would just love the opportunity to have such a fitting at least once in my life. I feel I would find out so much about my game.
What a class act the Titleist fitter was. This was a give and take with both winning. This should be required watching for all pros who try to fit clubs, makes me want to go get fitted but with Tltleist !
I've resisted the hybrid for the longest. They just never looked right and would go too high and too left. After watching this video and countless others, I broke down and got a 21 degree Titleist 818 H2 with the Even Flow shaft to replace my T-MB 4 iron and get better gapping between it and my trusty old 980F 5 wood. At the fitting, I compared the H2 to a T-MB 3 iron and was getting the 190-200 yard numbers I was looking for on the monitor and felt like I was hitting it good. I put it in the bag this weekend and damn if this thing isn't flying as far and better than my 5 wood, 200-215 carry numbers! This hybrid is unbelievable! The 5 wood is gone and the 4 iron stays. Still have that gap. Gonna have to learn to hit that 190-195 green finder or get me a Titleist Rinky Dinks! Cheers Bruh!
BRILLIANT!! I enjoyed this process SOOOO much. It really helped me understand the fitting process + It was GREAT to see him calling the shots and you executing RinkyDinks the 2nd....
This has to be one of my favorite video from you. I have a la jolla knife 7 wood that would be very hard for a fitter to get out of my bag. The back and forth...plus when you said I am going to go back to how I was thinking with rinky, that was the best fitting vid I have ever seen
Brilliant! Brilliant! And again Brilliant! Thanks Marc and titleist. Great video. This guy sets the standard that fitters should go by. Any I've been to simply haven't a clue about this level of understanding. They just try to get you into a sale with as little fuss possible.
Mark, Loving the content. The sign-up with Titleist is GOLD. Not blowing smoke up your arse, but I'm sitting here in Italy (I'm the guy who nearly stalked you at Borromees), trying to watch TW's comeback at the Valspar ... and getting hopelessly sidetracked by your vids. (Getting Custom Fit at Kings Acre 18mo ago - Titleist - certainly helps) You're nailing the vlogging game ... and the interaction with TPI / Tour Pros is keeping most of us away from the same-old-same-old, syrupy-sweet PGA Tour guff (i.e, as you alluded to, any "TV analysis" only really shows just what has gone "wrong"). Keep it going! I second the call for having an analysis of RCB's swing (would LOVE to know IF there are any "gremlins" there) ... And would also ask you to do a separate feature on "gaming a rinky" ... I.E. as a single-figure handicap player, custom-fit told me to drop my 3-4 irons ... The positives of doing so FAR outweigh the negatives - but I can't knock down a shot or keep a rinky "low" to save my life ... Frustrating when in the trees (on occasion). All the best.
Whether or not Rinky gets replaced is irrelevant. What this video shows is how a custom fitting helps improve your game, or at the very least challenges what you know, and that is good for your game. [edit] if I may you have to take your hat off to Titleist to put themselves out on a limb here. It says a lot about a manufacturer who are willing to put it on the line and back their product and expertise. My hat off to you fellas.
Great video! One of my favorite so far. It's good to see what should be talked about while getting fit for clubs. It would be nice to see you get fit throughout the bag.
Professional fitting, Done in one sitting. Loyalty splitting, Is rinky dinks quitting? Mark the machine, Titelist soooo keen, Must wait to be seen If new club is a dream. (Good luck with the new club Mark)
What I also love about Titleist! Their clubs also just seem to age well as far as the classic looks. They keep their nice looks over time where other companies clubs seem to look old and ugly when compared to the new stuff.. say 5-6 years later
We all need a newer rinky dink, when we age. #GetItUpMark #NoMorePullingMyRinkyDink You may need to call it your TitleyDink from now on. Great vid content. Demonstrates the value on an experienced club fitter who listens to your game vs. "Ring the Bell". You two were focused on improving your game/scoring vs. hitting it farther. Bravo!
I like these more technical updates. The discussion stuff is great too but I think you are developing a real skill for this type of technical information
I just got fit into the exact same setup on Friday - on kidding. I went with the 21 Degree knocked up to 22 with shaft in Neutral setting (D4). I also had SureFit set to Fade and I use it exactly how you do - can fade it 175 out of trouble if needed but want to be able to hit it high into the green at 195-200 carry rolling to 210 max without it going left - my driver swing speed is 103 so we are very similar. I also had the 19 Degree Fit for my 220-225 carry club, this time knocked down to 18 (D1) and SureFit set to Draw as I want this as my chaser / Driving Iron type club - great combo.
Loved these Titleist VLOGs - just a great insight into what we should be thinking about when testing for our own clubs. Think you’ve converted me to test for my own Rinky ...
Excellent video, great confidence by Titleist to take on Rinky Dinks! - fascinating to see the rapport, and not about tech, cant wait to see how Rinky 2.0 pans out over time..
Don't often/ever comment on videos.. but Mark, you keep delivering the goods so I had to comment.. seriously interesting video with functional information to help average golfers like myself understand what happens in a "fitting" situation.. I bet any money that the fitter there didn't expect you to have the confidence or the intimate knowledge of your own game to interject at any point.. for an average golfer it seems like a fitting falls into the category of the "blind leading the blind".. the video spelled out that you really need an intimate knowledge of your own game to appreciate the benefit of a club fitting.. I personally don't have the confidence in my swing or my own game in general to justify paying for a full fitting, I'll just keep buying off the rack til I start to understand my weaknesses and strengths
Great video. Loved the both the confidence Titleist had in allowing you to film this for all to see and how important fitting is. I play the same "rinky dink" but 20 deg loft, and have a similar attachment to it and the same problem of going left too much at times. Hmm, I'm here is San Diego, perhaps will give the Titleist a try! Well with my coach of course.
This has to be your best "technical" video yet! Right after the long drive chapter of Perfect Drive series! Unbelievable knowledge and awareness in the discussion #rinkmytitleist
Very interesting vid. I started playing the 917F3 last year instead of my older 915FD. Where I loved the 915FD but the random over draw/hook when sometimes going to hard off a tee. The 917F3 helped calm that shot down a bit the weight in the toe (same exact shaft in both models) My miss was still a draw but it was calmed down a bit. I really liking this Titleist behind the scenes looks.
Such a good video, if I could I would book a fitting tomorrow after watching this. I mean that 100%, great attitude from the mr fitter and nice to watch you really push the change and it work perfectly.
Let it go, let it go......Great process to watch. At your level you get the benefit of the equipment on offer. I'm happy to see you with a Titleist Rinky Dink. At least all the talk of shafts and head weights is not Just a gimmick as it is for us lesser mortals.
This is a fantastic display of how a fitting should go. “Let’s not ring the bell at the county fair.” Great line and great idea. This is why the “fitters” at most retail stores will just try and point out and sell off of yards gained and not gap filling. They also would NEVER ask you to max out to a number and then finesse one 25yards less. Great video great concepts #goodbyerinks
That was so interesting, especially when you contra the technology/fitting with the aesthetic/emotion [aesthetic's]. Think it makes you appreciate actually how long and how much effort is put in to keep a tour player to highest standards. Wow. Great post as usual Mark.
This degree of custom fit is far from available to 99.8% of the golfing world. A buddy of mine had one done with Taylor Made (cannot believe I said the word or the golf company that shall not be named). He said it was the single greatest golf lesson/knowledge moment of his life. Great segment.
Look forward to these everyday. Friday night, Indian and a beer at the ready, and Mark Crossfield Golf Entertainment 😁. Only golf channel I watch really, apart from BIG Oggie Golf. People who say mark don't know what his talking about on some channels, makes me laugh.. Mark's so knowledgeable!!! Looking forward to the Golf course vids with Mark, Coach, Rory, and Get up Grandad Dan!! ⛳
Best advert for custom fit ever. That fitter should be a diplomat. He shows that with the right shaft and set up you don't need to manipulate the wrong shaft to keep straight as Mark has been doing to avoid the miss left. Just a pity he couldn't of admitted he was wrong at the end. That fitter must have drawn blood biting his lip. FitterT@Ag
Love this video. I have the same issue with my 22 degree hybrid. I tend to have issues with over-drawing/hooking shots when I try to max distance. I might possibly try to find a hybrid that is adjustable so I can put some weight in the toe to take out that shot like you did in this video. Great content! Keep up the good work!
That was an excellent fitting! The fittier had to really work to hit something close to your rinky dink! I have a rinky dink also and I dont want to get rid of it. However if the Titleist H1 with a $$ upgraded shaft doesn't get close enough I dont think it could ever be replaced. Keep Rinky dink in the closet for at least 10 rounds and if you cant pull off those shots bring it back. Thank you for sharing!
Great vid. While I've never named any of my clubs, I also have a club that must be Rinky Dink's orphaned, illegitimate half-brother. Mine's a 22deg, steel shafted hybrid from a now-defunct clubmaking component brand and it's been in the bag longer than any other club (15yrs? Maybe more?). It got so beat up that I just went ahead and stripped the remaining paint and now it's just naked metal. I also use it for all shots between 180-205, and your description of "I think of it as a wedge" is exactly how I've always used mine - but I guess I never said that out loud to anyone until now. I love this club, but on those times I do miss with it, it is always a running hook. I try to put a "fade" swing on it 95% of the time. Rinky forever!

"I can pull on the most extreme shafts." - Crossfield, March 2018.
That was classic!
Priceless
To be fair to the fitter he was first class, worked with you accepting your attachment to rinky and the things you liked and very objectively showed you what the titleist could offer. A class act.
Yup exactly not just pushing a sale..really wanted to get the best for your game
Watched your videos for years now and first time I’ve ever felt the need to comment and thats because this video I feel was fantastic and very valuable to me to see the questions you ask and the way you go about being fitted, absolutely fantastic, great work👍🏻
What a club fitter .Listened to the customer so well
I bought my 718 AP2's last fall when they came out. But I got fit by Titleist at my regional center, and it has been the BIGGEST and BEST thing I have ever done to improve my game. The R+D they put into their clubs and then execute that by fitting it to the player is unsurpassed. And for the same reason, I watch you is that the R+D you have put into your teaching. Having the right tools in your hands, when you begin lessons or even are just practicing on your own, will develop the feel and touch that we all need in our game to improve and make the shots. Mark Crossfield and Titleist to me are a perfect match, please keep up the great work!
Very cool that Titleist did not whine, or complain, or throw a fuss at you keeping rinky. They simply stepped up to the plate and said we can provide the same or better, and here it is for you.
RIP Rinky, gone but never forgotten. We will always remember the good times.
I think this just shows how you are helping us lot ask the right questions when we get fitted. I recall my 1st fitting 15 odd years ago & looking back I was being fitted by a sales person & I had very little input & certainly wasn't asked any relevant questions, These days when I go for a fit I am armed with so much more knowledge and understanding of what I want from the fitting session. Great work!
Thanks Mark, you're the only TH-cam golfer that gets hybrids!
Others do their reviews, tell us they don't play them and how they'll pull them and then finish the review with a stock 'if you struggle with long irons then this might be for you' line.
I play hybrids and love them not only because they suit my slower swing speed but because they're so versatile.
exactly. i had a similar negative attitude towards them as they werent around when i first played golf and im not too bad with long irons. now i have a 4 hybrid and a 2 iron in my bag. i can do so much more with a rinky than i can with a 4 iron and i can still pat a 2 iron down the middle of a fairway if needed.
Genuinly one of the most interesting videos you have shared. It shows that the relationship you have with your club(s) and the way you visualise your shots have so much influence over your game. As a mid to high handicapper I try to visualise so much and feel the shape and shot to improve, to quieten down all the noise about ball position, grip strength, club path etc.
Titleist are coming across really well in these videos. Classy approach to this joint venture with Mark. You can tell there is a real confidence in their products, this guy knows Rinky is not making the summer
Steve Watson Not likely Mark would trash Titleist is it. He is paid to market their clubs and he does a good job of it. I can see replacing Titleist with any other major club brand and have similar feel good episodes.
further illustrating marks philosphy that its not about the marketing, its about getting correctly fit.
imho - great series of videos but this one by far the best tutorial on what a person can do with a club who has the knowledge of what can be done AND what a good fitter can do to help match what you want a club to do. it really does come back to player's ability in using the club and not so much the hype of what a club can do in the hands of the right player.

RIP Rinky Dinks “Gone but never forgotten”
The back 'n' forth between both of you was mesmerizing! 👍 👍 👍 New club looks like a "Coach-killer" to me!!!
Now that was some great insight to how real club fitting truly is ! I have never been that well fit for anything in my neck of the woods .. Keep these type videos coming Mark , I truly enjoyed that !!
I’d say that’s one of your best vids Mark. Loved it
the dudes from Titleist are as class as they come. Great video on the importance of getting fitted.
An insightful blog, loved the attachment the rink but the fitter worked so well with you to "get the feel" you have with your rinky
I love your comment about you “thinking of your shot” as opposed to just letting him control your shots. It’s right in line with your approach to teaching and I love it. Seems like he was taking his common ( not saying anything bad about the man) approach of shaft, different heads and physics approach but he soon learned you approach things in a more personal approach.....not necessarily by the book. My best go to club is my used Adams 4 hybrid from the bargain bin at a local golf shop. Senior shaft, inexpensive and a little beat up looking but man it’s my 165-180 club depending on what I need. 👍🏻
Great insight into how to approach fittings, keeping the mental side of particular shots as paramount!
RIP Rinky!!!
Absolutely fantastic. Videos have been top notch quality as of late. Keep up the great work!
Can you imagine how good the average golfer would be if he afforded himself with a fitter like that guy,I think that's one of your best video's you've done
Probably still pretty shit.
Yep, I can imagine, and with some ease. He/she would still be rubbish.
the average golfer cannot hit the shots like Mark is hitting. Average dude goes right, then left, then more left, then stomps on club...
How good do you think the average golfer would become, michael?
Hopefully,better
Really great video. Excellent point made about the visualization of being out on the course and hitting a golf shot vs. just hitting a club. These Titleist videos are wonderful!
Mark, outstanding sir! The information I get out of these is brilliant. Got to be one , if not the best sources for game improvement information available and it’s free! You deserve industry recognition for your creative content and contribution to the development of the sport imho. 👏🏻

A lot of knowledge there ,the Titliest guy you could tell knows his stuff inside and out, loving this series just now.
i have watched this twice now top class fitter it makes you think Titleist know there game
Good on you for giving Titleist the chance to challenge Rinky. And good on Titleist for breaking it to you gently... RIP Rinky.
I'm so glad for you and your audience that you partnered with Titleist! That was great insight into an appropriate fitting session.
One of the most educational how to test a club for your game videos I have ever seen. I learned so much. Thanks Mark :))
Favourite video ever. I love all these videos explaining why you choose the clubs you do. Would just love the opportunity to have such a fitting at least once in my life. I feel I would find out so much about my game.
What a class act the Titleist fitter was. This was a give and take with both winning. This should be required watching for all pros who try to fit clubs, makes me want to go get fitted but with Tltleist !
I watch Mark everyday I love watching him bc he's real truthful and very helpful. Love the video it's time for me to get fittedw
I've resisted the hybrid for the longest. They just never looked right and would go too high and too left. After watching this video and countless others, I broke down and got a 21 degree Titleist 818 H2 with the Even Flow shaft to replace my T-MB 4 iron and get better gapping between it and my trusty old 980F 5 wood. At the fitting, I compared the H2 to a T-MB 3 iron and was getting the 190-200 yard numbers I was looking for on the monitor and felt like I was hitting it good. I put it in the bag this weekend and damn if this thing isn't flying as far and better than my 5 wood, 200-215 carry numbers! This hybrid is unbelievable! The 5 wood is gone and the 4 iron stays. Still have that gap. Gonna have to learn to hit that 190-195 green finder or get me a Titleist Rinky Dinks! Cheers Bruh!
BRILLIANT!! I enjoyed this process SOOOO much. It really helped me understand the fitting process + It was GREAT to see him calling the shots and you executing
RinkyDinks the 2nd....
that video was by far one of your best to be honest. Well done.
If its not broken, put a titleist sticker on the bottom :)
This has to be one of my favorite video from you. I have a la jolla knife 7 wood that would be very hard for a fitter to get out of my bag. The back and forth...plus when you said I am going to go back to how I was thinking with rinky, that was the best fitting vid I have ever seen
You two hitting distance with such precision and assurance is mind blowing to me
Brilliant! Brilliant! And again Brilliant! Thanks Marc and titleist. Great video. This guy sets the standard that fitters should go by. Any I've been to simply haven't a clue about this level of understanding. They just try to get you into a sale with as little fuss possible.
That was a fitting!!! RIP Rinky, great vlog Mark.
All your reviews are always so honest ! That’s why I enjoy your videos. Really interesting.
fascinating! who wouldn´t want to go for a custom fitting experience like this with this level of expertise?
Look forward to seeing you hit this left in future course vlogs! 🤣
Mark,
Loving the content. The sign-up with Titleist is GOLD.
Not blowing smoke up your arse, but I'm sitting here in Italy (I'm the guy who nearly stalked you at Borromees), trying to watch TW's comeback at the Valspar ... and getting hopelessly sidetracked by your vids.
(Getting Custom Fit at Kings Acre 18mo ago - Titleist - certainly helps)
You're nailing the vlogging game ... and the interaction with TPI / Tour Pros is keeping most of us away from the same-old-same-old, syrupy-sweet PGA Tour guff (i.e, as you alluded to, any "TV analysis" only really shows just what has gone "wrong").
Keep it going!
I second the call for having an analysis of RCB's swing (would LOVE to know IF there are any "gremlins" there) ...
And would also ask you to do a separate feature on "gaming a rinky" ...
I.E. as a single-figure handicap player, custom-fit told me to drop my 3-4 irons ... The positives of doing so FAR outweigh the negatives - but I can't knock down a shot or keep a rinky "low" to save my life ... Frustrating when in the trees (on occasion).
All the best.
Whether or not Rinky gets replaced is irrelevant. What this video shows is how a custom fitting helps improve your game, or at the very least challenges what you know, and that is good for your game. [edit] if I may you have to take your hat off to Titleist to put themselves out on a limb here. It says a lot about a manufacturer who are willing to put it on the line and back their product and expertise. My hat off to you fellas.
The banter and technique analysing was fantastic. Great vid bro.
Great video! One of my favorite so far. It's good to see what should be talked about while getting fit for clubs. It would be nice to see you get fit throughout the bag.
Professional fitting,
Done in one sitting.
Loyalty splitting,
Is rinky dinks quitting?
Mark the machine,
Titelist soooo keen,
Must wait to be seen
If new club is a dream.
(Good luck with the new club Mark)
What I love about titleist they don’t make outrageous claims they just put their product out an say try it we think you will like it
What I also love about Titleist! Their clubs also just seem to age well as far as the classic looks. They keep their nice looks over time where other companies clubs seem to look old and ugly when compared to the new stuff.. say 5-6 years later
for sale, one highly used left leaning Rinky Dink. Will throw in a dozen #262 Knuckleballs.
I wish i can have a chance to experience this level of custom fitting...Amazing video Mark....
Amazing video your knowledge of hitting different shots with the same and calling the number blows my mind
We all need a newer rinky dink, when we age. #GetItUpMark #NoMorePullingMyRinkyDink You may need to call it your TitleyDink from now on. Great vid content. Demonstrates the value on an experienced club fitter who listens to your game vs. "Ring the Bell". You two were focused on improving your game/scoring vs. hitting it farther. Bravo!
I like these more technical updates. The discussion stuff is great too but I think you are developing a real skill for this type of technical information
I just got fit into the exact same setup on Friday - on kidding. I went with the 21 Degree knocked up to 22 with shaft in Neutral setting (D4). I also had SureFit set to Fade and I use it exactly how you do - can fade it 175 out of trouble if needed but want to be able to hit it high into the green at 195-200 carry rolling to 210 max without it going left - my driver swing speed is 103 so we are very similar. I also had the 19 Degree Fit for my 220-225 carry club, this time knocked down to 18 (D1) and SureFit set to Draw as I want this as my chaser / Driving Iron type club - great combo.
Loved these Titleist VLOGs - just a great insight into what we should be thinking about when testing for our own clubs. Think you’ve converted me to test for my own Rinky ...
He tried to get all shafty on you brahhh... Crossfield shutdown!!!
Excellent video, great confidence by Titleist to take on Rinky Dinks! - fascinating to see the rapport, and not about tech, cant wait to see how Rinky 2.0 pans out over time..
Reaction for green stopper at 2:45-2:50 "it's so good" is priceless!!
This is such a great video. So cool to watch that process.
Loved this video! From just a thinking through a fitting. Great stuff!! Love that your not afraid to speak your mind. Don’t change brah
Brilliant video. This shows what fitting can do to help your game.
Don't often/ever comment on videos.. but Mark, you keep delivering the goods so I had to comment.. seriously interesting video with functional information to help average golfers like myself understand what happens in a "fitting" situation..

I personally don't have the confidence in my swing or my own game in general to justify paying for a full fitting, I'll just keep buying off the rack til I start to understand my weaknesses and strengths
Great video. Loved the both the confidence Titleist had in allowing you to film this for all to see and how important fitting is. I play the same "rinky dink" but 20 deg loft, and have a similar attachment to it and the same problem of going left too much at times. Hmm, I'm here is San Diego, perhaps will give the Titleist a try! Well with my coach of course.
I love the fact your willing to challenge them to beat rinky, great vid I felt myself wishing it went left lol
This whole series really has me wanting to go get the super-fitting at TPI. Amazing stuff!
Great video, the fitter is brilliant, what a really nice guy.
This has to be your best "technical" video yet! Right after the long drive chapter of Perfect Drive series! Unbelievable knowledge and awareness in the discussion #rinkmytitleist
Very interesting vid. I started playing the 917F3 last year instead of my older 915FD. Where I loved the 915FD but the random over draw/hook when sometimes going to hard off a tee. The 917F3 helped calm that shot down a bit the weight in the toe (same exact shaft in both models) My miss was still a draw but it was calmed down a bit.
I really liking this Titleist behind the scenes looks.
Such a good video, if I could I would book a fitting tomorrow after watching this. I mean that 100%, great attitude from the mr fitter and nice to watch you really push the change and it work perfectly.
This is probably the best fitting I have ever seen on camera. WTG Titleist!
Coreadrin 😂
What a great video. Time to put Rinky to retirement and put it on your office wall for decoration.
Let it go, let it go......Great process to watch. At your level you get the benefit of the equipment on offer. I'm happy to see you with a Titleist Rinky Dink. At least all the talk of shafts and head weights is not Just a gimmick as it is for us lesser mortals.
Looks like Rinky might be retired into a box on the wall! Great video. What a nice bloke doing the fitting. Respect.
Wow! Now THAT is a club fitting like no other, superb! Thanks for sharing. Cheers
This is a fantastic display of how a fitting should go. “Let’s not ring the bell at the county fair.” Great line and great idea. This is why the “fitters” at most retail stores will just try and point out and sell off of yards gained and not gap filling. They also would NEVER ask you to max out to a number and then finesse one 25yards less. Great video great concepts #goodbyerinks
MrRobblevins33 Because most golfers don’t have the skill to do it.
That was so interesting, especially when you contra the technology/fitting with the aesthetic/emotion [aesthetic's]. Think it makes you appreciate actually how long and how much effort is put in to keep a tour player to highest standards. Wow. Great post as usual Mark.
Wonderful series with the Titliest folks. Almost as good as watching a TXG fitting vid.
This is an amazing vid, love the process you go through, you're good at distance. Love it!
Love this style of video. Really shows the importance of a fitting.
Very informative video. Loved all the insite to getting fit properly
More of this. Excellent video.
This degree of custom fit is far from available to 99.8% of the golfing world. A buddy of mine had one done with Taylor Made (cannot believe I said the word or the golf company that shall not be named). He said it was the single greatest golf lesson/knowledge moment of his life. Great segment.
Great video! Just think , i would never get the chance to listen to this titleist club fitter! Excellent content Brah!
Look forward to these everyday. Friday night, Indian and a beer at the ready, and Mark Crossfield Golf Entertainment 😁. Only golf channel I watch really, apart from BIG Oggie Golf. People who say mark don't know what his talking about on some channels, makes me laugh.. Mark's so knowledgeable!!! Looking forward to the Golf course vids with Mark, Coach, Rory, and Get up Grandad Dan!! ⛳
Awesome vid mark! Now thats a conversation with two guys knowing their stuff 👍🏻
One of your best vids Mark!
Great video. Loved the fitter's knowledge and how he worked with you to create a competitor for Rinky.
What a top guy this is to have in your corner. Not sure he will succeed in replacing rinky dinks but man he gave it a good shot.
Best advert for custom fit ever. That fitter should be a diplomat. He shows that with the right shaft and set up you don't need to manipulate the wrong shaft to keep straight as Mark has been doing to avoid the miss left. Just a pity he couldn't of admitted he was wrong at the end. That fitter must have drawn blood biting his lip. FitterT@Ag
Love this video. I have the same issue with my 22 degree hybrid. I tend to have issues with over-drawing/hooking shots when I try to max distance. I might possibly try to find a hybrid that is adjustable so I can put some weight in the toe to take out that shot like you did in this video. Great content! Keep up the good work!
That was an excellent fitting! The fittier had to really work to hit something close to your rinky dink! I have a rinky dink also and I dont want to get rid of it. However if the Titleist H1 with a $$ upgraded shaft doesn't get close enough I dont think it could ever be replaced. Keep Rinky dink in the closet for at least 10 rounds and if you cant pull off those shots bring it back. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, Mark! What a great video!!! 👍👍
Love the move you put on that hybrid.
Soft hands, my friend. 🏌🏻♂️😁
Super interesting. Best ad for Titleist custom fitting, EVER! I say dump rinky dinks. Spieth shaft yeah!
Great vid. While I've never named any of my clubs, I also have a club that must be Rinky Dink's orphaned, illegitimate half-brother. Mine's a 22deg, steel shafted hybrid from a now-defunct clubmaking component brand and it's been in the bag longer than any other club (15yrs? Maybe more?). It got so beat up that I just went ahead and stripped the remaining paint and now it's just naked metal. I also use it for all shots between 180-205, and your description of "I think of it as a wedge" is exactly how I've always used mine - but I guess I never said that out loud to anyone until now. I love this club, but on those times I do miss with it, it is always a running hook. I try to put a "fade" swing on it 95% of the time. Rinky forever!
As much as rinky is special to everyone, there was a good gain in your favour. Combine that with the CUSTOM SHOP!!!!! What chance does coach have 😂😂
