Absolutely Brilliant video. It proves that having the proper advice really pays off .I spoke to Sam after the video and he says they had to edit 30 minutes because of TH-cam time constraints. It shows how much the full length video must have been regarding extra in depth advice. I know Sam works really hard and is determined to give the very best advice to all his customers. I wish him every Success in his future ventures. He certainly deserves it. ⛳⛳
Listening to Sam explain the difference in shaft and weight is starting to make sense. I didn’t realise how changing a weight can increase or decrease your spin rate in the way it appears to do. Watching this vlog has helped. Excellent vlog. More content like this please. Cheers
Great video, I love all this tech stuff. Nice to see an honest fitter, I went to a well known High Street golf shop and they fitted me with a stiff shaft, I could hardly lift it, I would have been better off with a mop and a cream egg. More tech videos please 👍
Quality video this; used to work with Sam at a previous venture of his: amazing too see how far he’s come and going solo has allowed his abilities to truly be shown. Better set up = better results: keep going mate well done 👌
I have been waiting ages for this type of video Gaz and it certainly didn’t disappoint, did you manage to film the workshop and I’m also looking forward to seeing you go there
Cracking Video Gaz, been tweaking my driver shafts myself recently but after watching this ive realised i havent a clue what I'm doing. Want to book in with Sam when i can get time, maybe in new year.
@@golfrepairs4u 😂 Good work though mate! Looks like you’re doing some great work. I’ll have to book in for a fitting. Fed up of buying and trying shafts. Getting a bit expensive that way 😬
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll be going back down for my woods fitting, as I were well impressed and the swing weight was an eye opener. I always put big grips on my clubs without swing weighting them 🙁
Really easy to see the difference between a real fitting intended to improve your game Vs a 10 handicapper trying to get you into the new Wilson driver because of the extra commission at American Golf..... Nice video!
Very good fitter ,very honest on different shafts and ball speeds. Rather than just going for distance alone like some fitting centres. Quality content with a normal golfer rather than a pro golfer.
Great content Gaz (and Sam)! I urgently needed a shaft for my driver last year &, coincidentally, found Sam via an online search - I didn’t have a fitting, as I thought it was a straightforward replacement, but Sam’s customer service was outstanding & he was obviously very knowledgeable. Having watched this today, I now want to find time to book a professional fitting with Sam to see if it’ll make my drives straighter & further! 🤞
Sam went into great detail. I would be worried about low ball flight to help reduce spin. Particularly if you play courses with dog legs, where you need to go over trees. On a links, fantastic.
Bloody fascinating that, food for thought, As I've swapped drivers from Sim2 to cobra LTD LS with a much heavier and stiffer shaft, but I'm straighter and mostly in fairways now. Long way from Sunderland to Derby though. Great vlog as always Gaz
Good to see Dan change the tee peg, can't see the point of a fitting if your going to have to manipulate your swing to suit a tee peg which isn't the correct height.
I never seen any fitter so particular about swing weight during the changing of shafts. Wait until you see the difference Between light and heavy swing weight test. I can’t believe how much difference it makes 👀
Great watching someone who knows what they're doing. I was curious, why didn't you try the TR Blue? In theory it should launch a bit higher while adding a bit of spin compared to the black 5x.
Great video, I’ve wondered if I should go for a driver shaft fitting, I have a question. Do you know how manufacturers select shafts when they offer stock shafts? For example I’ve got TSi2 with the hzrdus rdx and i only tried different drivers and not shafts when I was fitted for it
Unfortunately most club fittings are more about the sale than the fitting. I am yet to be fitted properly for any clubs. The other issues is the way some of the fitters "setup" their so called course conditions.
Interested why you didn't get him to try the the Ventus TR Blue has alot of aspects of the black but with a slightly softer mid section and just because a shaft says a weight number on it doesn't mean it is that weight Sam 100% knows this as he is a good fitter but would have been good to explain that to the viewer as the 1k white he tried in a 50x is actually a 59g shaft happens alot with shafts very rare the number on the shaft is the actual correct weight.
When I go for my fitting, I’ll ask him to present to the audience rather than the person being fitted. It’s not easy when you’re on camera, he was focusing on dans experience, most likely trying not to overload him with information, and we was just observing. He did actually try the blue Tr and others but I couldn’t capture every moments as the fit was 2 hours, so I only included one spec from Each manufacturer. Thanks for watching
@@garymartingolf that's great to know was a really good video and very insightful. I'm from the midlands so will be looking into seeing Sam for my next fitting so thanks for highlighting him and his studio as I had no idea I had someone this good local to me.
Tbh he needs a softer golf shaft… see this is where TPT is perfect His playing with the firmest/stiffest profiles from manufacturers.. he needs something that kicks harder to square the face and control his loft, everything is too too stiff Ventus red or a TR red .. even a blue board profile 1k Blue
@@garymartingolf nah trust me the profile isn’t that bad .. his issue is path and face angle , look at all the long drive guys they swing 160mph and use lady flex ok they use 2 deg of loft but there’s a lot of evidence out there now that supports MPOV I swing it 125mph and use a 16HI tpt nitro .. and I’m aggressive as hell in transition, i went from a black TR 7x /hulk you name it , the moment I went softer ball speed increased and late I’m the round I go energy still Min woo lee used a red 7x forever and his like crusing in the 190 ball speeds Ultra stiff profiles aren’t the way to go anymore there too much science in it .. showing otherwise
@@steve827I think you could make a case for some other shafts, but each will have pros and cons along the way. I came into the fitting wanting a more penetrating ball flight with less spin and to try and lose or limit the miss right and we did this. The Hulk to me felt the nicest, it's really stable and compared to the others I felt like I knew where the head was. Excuses a side, I was swinging terribly on the day, I couldn't even hit my 7i well 😂 since then I've been at the range/ on my simulator and the numbers are good and what I'm looking for, so will give it a season and then we can really tell if it's the shaft for me or not.
So nowhere highlighting strike point or club delivery, chasing spin with shaft profile, didnt try ventus blue, did they touch on why they didnt try a diffrerent head or ball?
It's usually much lower (around 2-4 on trackman) however, back issues are killing any kind of completed turn/swing and therefore no depth just leads to coming over the top etc
I was thinking the same, his strike (like mine) is out to in, reducing that to a more neutral strike should be the first goal. That surely is generating most of the side spin? I also suffer from back issues having had a spinal fusion op over 30 years ago, so my back tends to stiffen up during a round esp if it’s slow play

American Golf! Fit for distance! And fit for a sale! And push for a sale!....I will say it...cracking vid this though l, well into it 👍
Cheers Sam! Looking forward to next season with. 😎
Love the vid Ga I’m booked in and can’t wait. 👍🏻
Brilliant 👌🏼🔥
Them cables clipped to the wall are killing me! can I pop down and sort them out? 😂
@@golfrepairs4u 😂 Good work though mate! Looks like you’re doing some great work. I’ll have to book in for a fitting. Fed up of buying and trying shafts. Getting a bit expensive that way 😬

enjoying the different range of vids lads, will be booking with sam in the near future.

Great video! A fitter as good as Sam can make a huge difference to your game
Brilliant video. So much learned. It's definitely best to have fitting when buying expensive clubs
Very good fitter ,very honest on different shafts and ball speeds. Rather than just going for distance alone like some fitting centres. Quality content with a normal golfer rather than a pro golfer.
Thanks Steve 👌🏼
Such a good vid. Will be making a visit.

My inner golf nerd is obsessed with this fitting process.
Thanks Lexx 🔥
Love this avg joe fitting process
Great video, love this stuff, can't wait for the club build. Would it matter if you were playing an older driver? I game a Titleist 915 D2
Sam went into great detail. I would be worried about low ball flight to help reduce spin. Particularly if you play courses with dog legs, where you need to go over trees. On a links, fantastic.
The peak height of the driver is around 105ft, so it's definitely not a low ball flight, it was just a little low launching on the day.
Very good fitter I had my clubs custom fitted there recently huge improvement to my golf game well done Sam 👏 😊⛳️
What a great video, wish he was closer to me 😢
Love this Gary and Dan. Good variety on content
Bloody fascinating that, food for thought, As I've swapped drivers from Sim2 to cobra LTD LS with a much heavier and stiffer shaft, but I'm straighter and mostly in fairways now. Long way from Sunderland to Derby though. Great vlog as always Gaz
Good to see Dan change the tee peg, can't see the point of a fitting if your going to have to manipulate your swing to suit a tee peg which isn't the correct height.
Great vlog Gaz, that was a good watch. Be very interesting to see how he changes your shafts when you get fitted.
I’ve got a feeling my swing weights will be way off! I’ve changed all my grips to thicker and more wraps without swing weighting them 😩
Great video!!
Well done gaz 😊
Lots of variables. Watching YT matches it's always true that being 130 out in the fairway is .5 to 1.0 stroke better than being 110 out in the rough.
That’s interesting 👌🏼
Very good. Other fittings I’ve seen haven’t really impressed me and I was dubious.
I never seen any fitter so particular about swing weight during the changing of shafts. Wait until you see the difference Between light and heavy swing weight test. I can’t believe how much difference it makes 👀
Excellent video.
Thanks Terry 🔥
excellent , going to book in for a fitting
I’m definitely going back for one myself 👌🏼
Excellent video excellent fitting.
Very interesting, sign me up for an additional 20mph ball speed😁
Me too 👌🏼
Great video. Does Sam also having different driver heads to try or just driver shafts?
@@golfrepairs4u ok, thanks Sam
Great watching someone who knows what they're doing. I was curious, why didn't you try the TR Blue? In theory it should launch a bit higher while adding a bit of spin compared to the black 5x.
wish he was down south my driver fitting was crap compared to this
love to get more yards will anything beat my LST 9 degree🎉
Great video, I’ve wondered if I should go for a driver shaft fitting, I have a question. Do you know how manufacturers select shafts when they offer stock shafts? For example I’ve got TSi2 with the hzrdus rdx and i only tried different drivers and not shafts when I was fitted for it
👏🏻👏🏻
It would have been interesting to see the Hulk in a stiff, and try it with the head lofted up? I am kind of surprised that he did not do that?
This just proves that distance isn't everything...you need to be able to play the ball afterwards and hold a green now and then.
Ive watched so many yt vids on driver gains that I now have to tee off with a driving iron....
Throw the hands and let Jesus drive...
Taylormade claims of 10 years gains ever year since 2005 would have me hitting it approximately 450 yards if accurate 😅😂
How bout a Fujikura Motre X stiff shaft? they’re the grouse.
Excellent 👌 content
Thanks Andy ✌🏼

So the end result wasn’t all that better was it. And the customer then had to go and experiment with loft and weight.
The end result was amazing.
really he needs to get rid of the 7.8 degree out to in swing path ... Otherwise he is wasting his time ...

This man needs to get his slice sorted before he gets fitted.

It was the best fit I’ve ever seen. Loved learning about swing weight 👌🏼
