Those Wilson’s are sweet. No way I could use a blade. Had the Mizuno Pro 223s this yr, but not forgiving enough for me. Went for a fitting this past wk end and went with the Calloway Paradyms. Had the best numbers, tried 5 other brands but decided on these. Close second was Srixon ZX 4. I’m 55 yrs old needed more distance and the Paradyms gave me this. I kept my Mizuno T22s .. 54 and 58, love them things. Thx for the video.
Mike I have 1 word to describe you as a golfer, Traditionalist! love it, no fuss, just go and play the way you've always played! just my 2 cents, Thanks Mike as always! Best reviewer on social! I'd love to see and hear you give more tips/ advice about how you think the golf swing works,, be safe, God bless.
I've been following your channel for several years. I still know the reviews that Mark Crossfield made 10 years ago. In my opinion, you now do the best reviews on YT. I'm looking forward to many more videos. Easy to compare clubs, even the review is one or two years old.
When I visit my parents often don’t bring my bag. I play an old set with Wilson gooseneck irons and I hit the 2 iron like 240. All his old drivers have weaker shafts so I basically just hit irons the whole round. Easy to hit fat with no rounding at all at the bottom but very solid. I haven’t hit anything newer Wilson has. I play different brands but call away apex 18 mb’s right now so I too am considering and likely will get some new irons this spring.
Great WITB Mike. If I didn’t get the limited edition, jailbird 380 putter over this past summer, I would’ve went for a A1 milled in the mallet style. Also playing TSR3. I initially had TSR2 driver since last December, got refit for TSR3 in September and got slightly more ball speed and about 5 more yards of carry compared to the 2. I also have the grooveIT cleaner brush and love it just picked up the mini last month too.
My wedge setup is almost identical. I have the 60 instead of the 58. That driver shaft is fire. So stable and smooth through impact. It was heavier than my evenflow shaft, but it was a solid 2-3 mph faster. I have it in a Tsi3 driver. I think it is an underrated shaft.
Nice bag. I‘m planning to get a set of vokeys and I also got the Wilson Staff Blades in the bag. So they blend really well with your setup. Do you only use youre 54 out of the Bunker or does the 58 in the S-Grind work asswell? Cheers from germany
Glad to see you've come over to the shorter driver. I know you didnt like Mizuno at 45 inches, but I think once you try it, impossible to go back. And 45.25 at 6'5 sounds about perfect.
A4 is 1.5 up loft but not draw, A3 is. But your right it’s not 0.75”…..D4 is. Took the head for the flight over in the flight bag and whacked in A4 instead of D4 by mistake. Should have twigged at the time but didn’t 😬
At 6’5 and being a fan of the show I would have thought you would have 120 - 130 gram iron shafts. Are the 105x to help you get the ball up or do you prefer the feel? Your reviews are always 🤙🏽
Hi Michael, love your videos! I’m thinking about getting the new mizuno fli hi 2 iron with the hzrdus smoke black 6.5 shaft. How many grams is yours? I know you like lighter shafts, so just curious. Thanks!
@@MichaelNewtonGolf that titleist grid is squirrelly. nice there are so many options but i had to screenshot the grid from the website to know what the hell os going on
@michaelnewtongolf Im curious to know how you ended up in the KBS 105 shafts? You would think a big guy at your speed, would be cruising in the 120-130 gram range. Is it because of swing weight issues with the added 0,5"? Cheers, love your vids!
Hi Michael love your videos simple succinct and to the point. Nice to see you not a complete club 'ho'; i remember when u reviewed the Wilson staff irons they were works of art and nice to see they still in the bag. What i find interesting is that you dont have any fairway woods, no 3, 5 or 7. What would you use to approach a par 5 or a long par 4..the 3 or 2 utility, thats scary options with those super unforgiving clubs? I play off a 10 and i have a 25 hybrid, a cobra 5 and 3 wood and a 3 zx utility iron. Whats your rationale, please advise?
always preferred long irons to hybrids or woods.....probably because ive always been a better iron player than wood player. Glad your enjoying the channel
Love your vids Michael, I do wish you would do more playing videos. It would really be awesome to watch you and Grant Horvat play a round together.
Agree!
Nice selection. Impressed the 3 iron is still in during the UK winter 🥶
😂
Impressed he can hit that staff 3 iron!
Love seeing Wilson in the bag.

Did a double take when I saw it was Mike uploading a WITB video lol great bag!
Wilson great irons
Nice set. I like that you stay with the Wilson irons. Good times on the course. No hybrids in your bag.

Try the wilson staff cbs-stunn8ngly sweet clubs with great feel and from 2 iron to gw
Love what is in the bag, the irons and putter are my favorites!
Wilson Staff blades eh, I had you pegged as a Mizuno guy for some reason. I'm looking at the TSR series drivers myself, they look spectacular.
I’m surprised you don’t have the STG titanium fairway wood in the bag since that club performed so well for you.
Great WITB Mike.

Great job as always Michael. That driver looks so sweet.
That GrooveIt tool is awesome. So fun and easy to use
I had a strong feeling you'd still have the Wilson Staff Model Blades in the bag!
Our bags are so similar. Best irons in the game
W/S blade is incredible!
Super Super choice!

Great looking set. Love the Groove It. Similar wedge setup. Playing Apex19 but looking to refresh next year. 😊
Hello Michael !
Did you see the new 2024 irons of Wilson ?
We will have a little video on your channel ?
Thanks so much for your work ❤
Glad to see you've come over to the shorter driver. I know you didnt like Mizuno at 45 inches, but I think once you try it, impossible to go back. And 45.25 at 6'5 sounds about perfect.
Always played that length 👍
Maybe next time you'll let us follow you around for a round!
Great set
I bought Wilson staff model blades because MNG told me to. KBS C-Taper 120. Beautiful.
Iron covers on mine though.....
💪
Great vid!
Great looking setup.
Great video as always Michael. What Vokey wedge would be the closest to the Callaway Jaws MD5 10S bounce? Love the TP5 ball also
More playing content! Have some fun for yourself once in awhile
That mizuno pro fli hi made it in after all. I remember you not liking the colour at the start
Not so much I didn’t like it but more shocked Mizuno brought out a black head 👍
Do you change the lie angle with the irons being an inch over standard?
best irons in the game
Nice set of bats Michael…. ⛳️👍🏻😁
Thanks 👍
A4 is +1.5 degrees mate with draw bias (toe up)
A4 is 1.5 up loft but not draw, A3 is. But your right it’s not 0.75”…..D4 is.
Took the head for the flight over in the flight bag and whacked in A4 instead of D4 by mistake. Should have twigged at the time but didn’t 😬
So no hybrids OR woods? Really surprised there isn’t at least a 3 wood in there. Do you feel like you can still reach par 5s in 2 etc?
Don’t generally struggle but then again I am getting older so maybe some day I’ll need a 3 wood in there 👴🏻😅
At 6’5 and being a fan of the show I would have thought you would have 120 - 130 gram iron shafts. Are the 105x to help you get the ball up or do you prefer the feel? Your reviews are always 🤙🏽

D4 is plus 0.75 degrees loft. A4 is plus 1.5 degrees of loft. i have a TSR2 in D4
Yeh my mistake, took head off shaft for the flight over and threw on quickly & didn’t realise. I do play D4 👍

Hi, just because I like the slightly lighter feel against the 120/130 area 👍

Do you play the irons with more upright too with been 6ft 5?
I was in Gloria 18th to 25th but did not see u a shame
I was 27th to 2nd
Shame i missed u
Do you have the same new grips on the wedges? I have just put some Wilson V6 forged irons in my bag bought secondhand
yes
Why do you play KBS Tour 105 X at your swing speed? Just curious
I like the lighter feel 👍
Michael, how do you find the feel (and weighting) of the new Odyseey AI putter? Love the copper face
its a firmer feel against the standard ai one putter with white insert. I really like it & consistent on the distance control
1 headcover. Thats a gamer set up.....
😆
Have you ever worn a glove? I don't think I've seen one in all of your videos.
I actually do wear a glove when playing
