I think some of your best content is fitting average players. I know that it's been difficult with covid-19 so I'm really happy to see Ron back testing stuff with you.

Love the videos featuring actual customers. Seeing what a really good fitting looks like and one very happy customer. Win, win. Well done TXG.

Guys, more of the average player stuff please. That 7w would be a nice option in my bag too. Struggle for distance

[norwegianwarhound]

I always love it when Ron comes on. I consider myself a slightly younger, homelier version of him. I have similar tendencies along with the G410 driver and MMC irons in the bag. One of these days I hope to cross off my bucket list item and make a trip to TXG. Also, nice work with Gabe Galucci. Been following his progress also. Take care guys.

Love it when you feature more average players. Please more of this type of content. Seeing how you can dial in their clubs always gives me hope!

Absolutely love this episode. The biggest smile on my face for the better part of that 13 minutes. The chemistry between Alan and Ronny is just class.! This is golf and YouTube at its best. Cheers from Sweden guys !

I am a dedicated 7-wood user, and like Ronnie I hit it off the tee on a couple of par-4 holes every round I play, plus occasionally when I encounter a 200-yard par-3 hole. If there is trouble (ravine, water, etc.) about 215-220 yards off the tee, I know that my 4-wood will almost surely carry that far, so the 7-wood is the logical choice for me. A friend of mine talked me into trying a 7-wood about two years ago, and I had an old "bargain basement" 7-wood in my garage that I put in my bag on a trial basis late in the 2018 season. I now carry a Callaway Epic Flash adjustable 7-wood that I have set at 20.5* loft and I installed an ACCRA Tour Z 85 (stiff) shaft in it. It carries a consistent 190 yards for me (124 MPH ball speed) and rolls-out to about 200 yards. My bag setup is driver, 16.5* 4-wood, 7-wood, then a 22* 4-hybrid before I get to my irons, and this works out perfectly for my game.

Great to see someone else loves their 7 wood. They serve a great purpose when you approach greens from 220 out. High and soft.

Im a 55 yo who plays off 7 and have a Heaven Wood (Callaway) and a 9 wood. I only carry irons from 6 down. It suits my gapping and have more confidence in the woods and it allows me to hit longer high shots into the green that stop. My distance off the tee is only around 240 yards so often leaves a 160-180 shot into par 4 greens. My HW goes on ave about 185 and 9 175. But can adjust that by working it one way or the other. I cop flack from my mates as i have a 4 wood with my driver. i occaisionally have a 2hybrid in the bag for low shots in the wind usually second shots on our par 5's. So there can be 5 headcovers in the bag. But I realised 5 years ago when I was a steady 12 handicapper that wasnt about the ego any more. Its about getting the job done in as low amount of shots as possible. And have sat on a HC from 5.9 to 8.2 for those last 5 years. Many people will get better by knowing and using the tools that give them the most consistent distances and not trying to keep up with how far everyone else may be hitting it. Also using a club distance tracking app like Arccos, Game Golf or Shotscope to give a true indication of club distances not the 9 iron you hit once 180 yards down wind down hill

These SIM fairway woods are no joke. Got fitted for one to replace an old 13.5 degree Titleist 910. The 15 degree SIM increased my ball speed by about 5 mph combined with increased spin and launch angle. this gave me a couple yards on total distance but, more importantly, made it so much more playable on course and hitting into par 5s. Very impressive clubs.

If I hadn't gone into this TXG Rabbit Hole a few yrs back, I can honestly say I wouldn't have this information about what are the key lofts where normal clubhead speed persons hit walls & need help improving launch. For irons it's 27-23 degrees where hybrids can help & for 23-18 degrees that is where hybrids meet 7&5 woods and where the next step down in clubhead speed makes the cross over - and it's this area where finding that BEST club is so important for scoring. I know everyone loves drivers but this is the most important part of the bag

Love watching Ron hit these clubs. It’s more relatable for an average golfer. Although I love Matt’s swing

[shaunstephen]

I just got a 7 wood this year, it's awesome and really helping my game! It helps having extra forgiveness over a 5 wood, it let's me get decent distance off the deck. Epic flash 21⁰(cranked up to 23⁰).

ANOTHER great video. I love watching Ronny, he reminds of my Father-in-law. I love the range of skill levels represented this channel. The range of data points represented in your channel is fasinating and great for my analytical mind.
BEST CHANNEL FOR IMPERICAL GOLF DATA...PERIOD!

[adamhuenke]

Love this. Many people think I am crazy for carrying a 7 wood but it is my go to on short par 4s and long par 3s. Sadly it’s an old Callaway Great Big Bertha Heavenwood with a regular shaft (means I have to swing slow and easy). Keeps these videos coming.

[nate_wil]

I'm basically new to golf. Playing since covid. Started at a 40+ handicap. Currently got down to 16 handicap.
The more I understand about the game. The more I realise how great this channel.

I LOVE when you get average players in for a fitting.
I"m currently considering a 7 wood right now and love this content!
I love Matty, but hitting 300 yards off my 3 wood ain't really where I'm at :)

[grantoxner]

Just 42 days until I hit the fitting studio and after this video I couldn't be more excited to see what the outcome will be. I feel a kinship with Ron and his game. Seeing how what he has in the bag has evolved and the journey you and he have taken to get there is very cool. Keep it up and see you in six weeks. Fingers crossed the Atlantic Bubble expands to the rest of Canada.

[stevedietrich]

Good to see Ronnie back on the channel. Congrats on a really nice fit. Ronnie is going to love this club.

[coegj]

This what is important, there are a whole lot of older men and women in this world who have money to spend on golf equipment, and are ready to give up the game of golf because of loss of distance. You guys are proving that there can still be life in us old dogs that want to compete with the right equipment in our hands, put in our hands by those who know what to put in our hands. What Father time has taken away, this is proof that you guys can give some of it back to us. Looks good on both of you, thanks.

[chrishartman]

After watching it, I'm curious what clubs sit below and above this new 7-wood choice? It almost looks like the Sim 7w took Ronnie to near 3w length. We need a little WITB for Ronnie, even if it is just in your IG page.
