- This video is for anyone wanting to learn more about club fittings!
Having a GOOD club fitting is way more important than having A club fitting. I would strongly suggest to go somewhere that specializes and or does a lot of fittings.

What's funny is I hit the ball so bad throughout the fitting then right after it, I started swinging it well.
After the fitting today, I recorded myself doing the TrackMan Combine. Is that something ya'll are interested in seeing?
Also, I know there wasn't much editing in this video, the main reason for that is because this was for educational purposes only!
Hope ya'll enjoyed!
Yeah I would love to see a TrackMan Combine
I'd love to see the combine... done it myself and it can be a bit stressful 😂
I've done the combine before. What was your score?
@@JacobSever I think my best was a 77
@@birdieputtnh74 Yeah, I've only done it once. Got a 70.7, and I wasn't in any decent form that day. Couldn't judge distances with my wedges, and my driver was so far off. Super fun though.
This was amazing to watch.
My wife does my shaft fitting normally, and I've been happy so far.
Lmfao
Ha
😂😂😂
funny you say that! i followed garrett's advice and tried to find someone who "does a lot of fittings." i've been seeing her for my head fittings and it fits real nice
Sydney Poeira oh Karen, let the boys have some fun......
Holy crap I just watched this and you have seriously grown up in 2 years your voice is soooo different.
GM: "I think I'm going to be a club fitter."
Me: "I'm going to buy any club this kid tells me to buy"
That club fitter has a wealth of knowledge beyond my comprehension rly!
Fantastic video on a CRUCIAL topic that almost nobody talks about on YT bc its not a flashy, view jumping draw.
Blown away to hear the shaft type is 90 fricken % of the difference when deciding what clubs are right for you!
Side note- 1 issue still remains the COST! Not of the fitter persay but the experience on a whole.
Just getting fit for a set of a NEW set of gd-high end irons is gonna take u at or over a G!
Whereas, a used set or clearance deal (tons out there if u do a mo. of everyday research) is bascially half that, give or take.
best food - no processed, no refined sugar and no carbs - Really interesting about fitting - I was never a good enough golfer to require and I have always wondered about it. You taught me something. Ta man
Garret, big fan of the videos, fairly new to golf myself and you guys make it look so easy. Hope you and micah both go pro!!
8:58 it’s a fluke. doppler radar technology used in trackman is excellent at tracking a golf ball but not so good at tracking a club head.
It is because a club head not only travels along the swing path and but also rotates around the shaft axis.
Depending on where you define the reference point, you will see a different number (for example, toe side travels faster than heel side due to rotation).
There’s a lot of computation involved inside trackman trying to compute this “one club head speed” number but you have to realize that there will, inherently, be a larger spread in the number.
Long story short, When you see unusually high smash factor numbers like 1.53, 1.54, it is always because the club head speed is unusually low and not because the ball speed is unusually high.
I have personally gotten 1.54 on terrible strikes too.
Makes sense, but his swing is not unusually low in speed, so i think this comment is a fluke
You’re right, chinese food is 🔥
Fav food is Tex Mex, I would say Chinese but I am Chinese so I have it every night (no I don't have dog) but other than Tex Mex I would say Japanese food
Hahaha dog
well, not anymore (dog)
@@geoffreyliss6817 when I run out of pets to eat I go around the neighborhood under the name "the dark bark" and steel other people's dogs :L this is a secret though so keep it on the low!
I always wondered what club fitting was all about. Thanks for the video
For driver heads they have a regulated maximum allowed amount of ball speed when hit at a designated club head speed. In other words- all the top driver heads have the same performance. The only difference is how they adjust to give you more flight changes and consistency
Forgiveness is still getting better, but I'd say only marginally. I hit my Taylor Made M2 just as well as I do my Dad's SIM.
@@williamhickey9200 - haha I use M2 as well. Best driver made
Great video, you brought up several important points to the club fitting process. Be confident/comfortable with your swing before you get fitted, I would add don't make the fit session a swing lesson. Be patient, check your ego at the door, I walk in the door thinking I need stiff shafts, if a softer/lighter shaft will improve my game that's what I want. For me, the most important point is do your club fitter research not the company... Hopefully I will find someone knowledgeable and patient to fit me... I am learning that shaft technology is the new rocket science... Thanks for posting... And again Great Job young man!!!
I will be doing a fitting this month. I ordered a new set of irons and once they are delivered I am all over this.
I’m heading there in the next couple of weeks for a driver fitting. Great video.
I've wanted to do this but my swing is so bad right now I feel like it would be a waste of money lol
I got fitted and figured out that x stiff shafts suit me best and its changed my game immensely. its really hard to find good fitters but i have one here in Houston.
Nick d I need a good fitter in Houston. Who do you use? I’m playing terrible with the new clubs I just got.
Favorite food is Thai all the way. Such a mix of tastes! Sweet, salty, spicy, sour...you can't beat it.
Great video, dude. Your swing is something this 16 HDCP is striving for. Off-season?! Time for you to move to AZ, 365+ courses in Phoenix's Maricopa County, and we are ALWAYS in season! 365 days of golf...
Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely do more research on who I chose to fit me for my clubs. Great advice!
I've only played golf a few times and I've scored 127 125 last 2 times I've played. I'm using my Dad's old magregor VIP's which are probably 20 years old. I'm looking to get a new set of clubs but wondering just is it worth getting a fitting or is that for more for advanced golfers? Bear in mind I'm still working on the basics and trying to fix slice
I work at a golf course and the head pro recently pulled me out to the range and let me hit with a lie board and put tape on the face and bottom of the club and I hit a few balls pretty well I thought but I was hitting it more towards the shaft on the face and I didn’t realize but my clubs lie is completely wrong and the length is too long, I didn’t realize how much goes into getting fitted for clubs because the only way I could hit it pure would be to absolutely hook it
Dude I love your videos you inspire me too be a better golfer and gave me some good advice about some clubs and keep up the hard work

GM - I don't even know what American food is...
George Motz - *head explodes*
When you can travel, head to Toronto to visit Ian at TXG. Hands down the best and brand agnostic.
I was going to comment the same thing and decided to cycle through the comments. Sure someone else was thinking the same thing.
I just started learning how to golf, thanks for making this video it helps a lot! ☺️
It's very simple what happens to achieve higher than 1.5 smash factor. The ball speed is always right, but the club speed is calculated. When the club speed is under-calculated, which happens for whatever reason, you get the higher smash factor as a result.
Very interesting video. Its also nice to have your swing numbers compared to DJ's
More things to know if I may. My only club fitting to date a few years ago: the club fitter didn't inform me that the custom Mizuno MP-H4 irons (3-pw) I bought from him were not the same lofts as the Taylormade Burner II irons I was retiring. The difference was a full club (~4˚); for example, my new Mizuno 7i carried what my old TM 8i did (155 yds). Without knowing, I scored badly the next round I played as all my approach shots came up short. I did hit the range prior, but didn't notice this because there were no yardage indicators (my bad). Finally, after struggling for a week or two, someone clued me in on this anomaly. So it wasn't my swing, it was the difference from one club manufacturer to another.
fav quick fix food: middle eastern food for the win. Regarding getting fit: it's not about "swinging great" because that's subjective, it's about turning up with something repeatable. And your own clubs, turn up with your own clubs. You're doing the fitter a disservice (and yourself) if you're not showing them what you're doing with what you've got. Lastly, warm up first, and warm up in front of the fitter so they can see what cold2hot looks like. Oh, and use your game balls, pointless smashing whatever they have lying around on the floor when you use OnCore exclusively...shout out to OnCore, their Elixr is the perfect ball
My question is what happens if you get fitted for clubs at a place that is not a retailer? Do they give you the data for the right clubs for your swing?
Sadly I can’t watch the rest of the video I have to go do some school but I watch it later also it’s been a great video so far
I live in Wisconsin and I HIGHLY recommend going to Madison at Vitense mini golf place and indoor driving range, for custom clubs. The person there is taylormades #1 club fitter and has a huge amount of tech. He has the top 5 brands for clubs and it was an amazing experience.
You should do a video of you having a golf lesson, you've got great swing maybe we could learn something 👍
Actually, Phil Michelson has achieved over a 1.70 smash factor through the use of lead tape, so don’t always believe what some people say. The perfect smash factor you’re looking for in a driver on a perfect strike is ideally 1.50 or better
i just bought a driver because it was in my budget and i liked the way it looked and felt in my hand lol
currenly i am playing with the KBS tour shaft C-tapered Heavy stiff. for a low ball flight :)
How's life on tour?
What really kills me is when people go into a fitting with a specific club in mind... instead you should let let the fitting tell you which club (and shaft) is best for you!
I don't have a problem with people going in with maybe a specific brand in mind. Say you go in and want to do a Callaway or a Titleist fitting, no problem there. Part of a good club fitting is how comfortable you are with your clubs.
A lot of the draw for most people looking to blow a few grand is the look of the clubs. Especially when the driver heads look like something Ferrari or Lamborghini designed.
Smash factor is basically how elastic the collision is between the club and ball. If you hit the ball perfectly, independent of club speed, you can get a high smash factor.
First time watching. I really enjoyed. Wish I started golf at a young age. Have fun
My favorite meal is...
Filet mignon, baked potato, and steamed broccoli (which I think is American food), tex mex is really too though.
Ahhhhhhhh. Finally!!!!!
Have been waiting for a whole day for this video to come out.
So what’s your final fitting choices?
I had the worst golf fitting experience at golftec where the guy just grabbed a bunch of drivers off the rack and I'd hit 10 balls or so with each one until we 'found one that works', which included a driver that had a jumbo grip on it when I play undersized grips normally lol. Yeah, we eventually got to a driver that I put up pretty optimal numbers with, but the process of getting there was simply throwing darts and hoping to eventually hit a bullseye. There were no actual adjustments made based on the data and I probably could have saved myself 150 bucks if I had just walked into golftown and asked to try out drivers on the launch monitor.
That's brutal. Golftec sucks around here too
When i started golf many years ago, club fitting wasn’t a thing. Hence my dumb question. I play with early 90s era clubs. I assume fitting is only pertinent to me if I want to buy new modern clubs? I like my irons. I don’t want to get new shafts. Is it worthwhile to have the lofts and lies changed? I don’t care about gaining additional yardage. I just want fewer mishits. Thanks!
Very entertaining and informative. Thank you and keep it up!
What's the typical cost of a service like this from a reputable fitter?
Nice swing! We have very similar numbers. You should try some more classically lofted irons. As fun as it is to hit a 6 iron that far, gapping is way more important to me personally. I'll click through your videos to see what you ended up with. Keep it up!
I was thinking the same thing. I think that 6 iron he was hitting was a 27 degree loft which is a typical 5 iron. I don't know if the software doing the launch angle/spin analysis accounts for that. Lovely swing, though. Very efficient.
I heard above 1.50 smash factor was supposedly impossible that clubs couldn’t be designed to be better. But I saw a 1.53 before.
Your 6 iron carry is almost 200 but driver caddy is 270ish? I was expecting your driver carry to be close to 300
good video - you look like thomas cub from project x
9:53 thats what she said
Jared Carr nice
😂
6:28 PLENTY of those in this vid!
I know this video is older and I have seen your newer videos but I got a question. The last time I was big into golf I was younger but because of my height I still swung like youth clubs and now I’m a lot older and much much taller. The question is when you go to get fitted do you have to purchase the clubs then or do they tell you the specs you need and then you go out and purchase them another time?
Little known fact, Garrett: the only TRULY American food is cajun food (jambalaya, gumbo, po' boys, crawfish). This type of cuisine was invented in the U.S. (Louisiana) with local ingredients. Anyway, even though I'm from the northeast, it's one of my favorite types of food.
Great video , thanks a lot for the advice .
Sick whip at the end. Congrats at 1.51
Garret do you have the link to that top 100 fitters?
Trevor Mueller www.golfdigest.com/story/clubfitter-directory-americas-best-clubfitters
when people say american food they tend to think of burgers or hot dogs or BBQ but really america is so large and diverse , american food could be anything from cajun to chicago deep dish. every area was its own style
Great video but? Tiger -5 attack angle I don't think so
Great video. Very imforming
What are good places to go for a club/shaft fitting?
Allen Lukas Truespec is the ”High Priced Spread” but they do good work. Once you get there, not snobby at all.
I'm getting fitted today lets go
owsome vid dude so many golf shops will just give you stock shafts an that's it trackman an good golf with heaps shafts is what you won't
As far as my experience anything over 1.5 is a fat shot you hit the ground before the ball. This is an old video but wondering if these two have come to the same conclusion since this day. Maybe I am wrong but it is the only time I ever see it above 1.5
This is years old, but just a tip... Id recommend using something like a GCQuad if youre indoors, and Trackman if youre outdoors. Trackman is radar-based which isnt great indoors while Quad is photometric.
Nice video. I simply dont have the priveledge of custom fit were im at. I share my take with you. I found that in general the distance gap between 7...6...5....4...3 is not healthy. Hitting all 5 clubs with same 80% swing results.......From 7(165y) through 3(179y).....Im ok from 130yds in using 9/W/SW.
Biggest void is 190 to 220yds. I use 5W and 3W for that area.
Any advice please.
I know this is old, but I will throw my hat in and say American food is my favorite. Grilled steaks, baked turkies. Beer up the CAVITY chickens. Simple flavours accentuated by cooking medium is the hallmark of American food. Charcoal vs Gas kinda thing. I'm Canadian btw, and American cuisine kicks ours to the curb... Except Poutine, don't mess with poutine.
American food in my mind is BBQ. Burgers, dogs, ribs, mac and cheese, and so on
Great job man! Keep on going

Mexican all the way. A good burrito, mwah😂
Mexican food is in it's own God tier
I just bought some used Apex Black Irons and the description is they are 2* flat adjusted by Callaway with the red forged CF16 logo on the hossle amd XP95 S300 shafts.. Where I live they do not have custom fitting available. I am a 18 handicap and usually have a slight fade to the right. Does 2* flat mean I will most likely get more to the right and more fade? The clubs will take 2 weeks to get to me but I was wondering if that is most likely what might happen to me with these clubs. I am still working on getting my inside out swing down bc I do have a slight tendency to come over the top a little. So is the 2* flat going to give me more problems?
Thanks for any help!!
ekphotography I believe so. I like my lie standard but I used to play with it 2* flat back in 2012-2014. I recently switched back to 2* flat after switching shafts from x100 120g to 7.0 pjx 130gs and I was slicing, pushing and couldn’t control my normal fade. I went back up to neutral lie and it erased all of my problems. Not really sure why but it just works. I’m a 5.7 handicap and I’ve never had a fitting once in my life and I’m 23 years old. And I’ve been golfing since 4th grade. I’ve always had hand me down clubs until college where I was swinging x stiff and had to buy my own so I just bought what I read with the best reviews on clubs and shaft. Wish you the best of luck!
I’m finally first again sorry I haven’t been lately garret I’ve been kind of busy
Hey guys I’m a high school golfer and I am about to get some new clubs. Do you have any recommendations? I think I am going to go to second swing to get a fitting.
So would you recommend for new golfers to wait before getting fitted?
Hi Hully ...As a former golf instructor, my blanket answer to your question would be "yes". That being said, everyone and their talent level when they pick up the game, can certainly vary. If it is someone who is brand new to the game, and is truly starting from scratch, their swing will likely change quite a bit over the next year (depending on how much time they apply to the game). In this case, investing in a couple lessons first, is much more beneficial.
Once a player has grasped the basic fundamentals and are not looking for drastic changes in their swing itself, then that can be a great time to get fit (regardless of handicap).
I would. Your swing might change to much. Put the money in lessons or practice over equipment in the beginning. Unless money isn't an issue then do both lol
Candy , candy canes , candy corn , and syrup . ⛳
Yaaaaay Saaantaas Cooming!!!! Lol
I always get my clubs fitted at bakers custom golf in Tulsa Oklahoma
ok...
The head is important but the shaft is 90% of it.. damn, personally attacked
I hit roughly the same with my 6 iorns. 95 average club speed with 210 yards
My personal list: Tier 1: Taiwanese/Chinese, Italian, Japanese. Tier 2: Korean, Mexican, American, French, Mediterranean Tier 3: Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai, Indian T4 and below: everything else.
Would you say you’re trying to go pro?
The three basic food groups are Bacon, Lasagna and Chocolate.
I really was surprised by your distance my friend some around 280 I even saw one at 303 and carried 271 I mean that's great my dude I swear a few bad shots as you stated but not like you were saying man you were hitting them ok I have been sitting here thinking well mucah is hitting it like 300 probably and your what mabye 255 nope I'm wondering now how far Micah truely hits it now what 330 average hahahaha or what like damn my dude good stuff
Nippon Modus3 shaft is the best feeling shaft in ever hit
Thank yo, this was most helpful.
I think you should do a video on how to do a stinger becuase I tried to do it to day and failed also was wandering if you ever got my golf videos on my swing.
I want a new driver myself. When I go in to hit balls with the drivers that I want I feel like my swing is off. Since I don’t hit the ball dead straight every shot. I struggle to know when I can commit to a new club.
That type of video was really good
Nice
Nice swing!
Cheeseburgers.....thats american food! Also not sure if i just havent seen it yet but you should do another more recent video like this.
Great video! When is the Brodie smith video coming out?
Bacon cheddar burger fro. My golf club is my favorite food😋😋
Great German food
What is your favorite golf brand??
you could imagine what cameron champ's maximum smash factor would be
Quuantix max smash factor is always 1.5 regardless of player. It’s a usga limit on how much a clubs face can rebound the golf ball.
@James Fondren yes and the ratio can never be higher than 1.5. If it is then you have an illegal driver. Obviously there is a slight tolerance so could technically be 1.52 but theoretically it shouldn't
Indian food. You live in Dallas. There is the best food there. Check out Chennai Cafe in Frisco.
Why don’t u get Callaway or titlist or talormade or any other good branded club
Cajun food for the win
My fav food is is grilled foods (burgers,ribs,steaks...)! I also enjoy seafoods!
American food is like a plate of nachos, and hot wings lol
