The TXG YouTube videos have dramatically improved my game off the tee box this season. Thanks guys, the technical, data part of golf is one of the best parts of the game! Well done 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Great stuff as always. Learn so much from you guys. Explains why 10.5 degrees is the most common loft in golf shops as it seems to work best for around average speeds. However would really like to see a 10.5 against 12.0 at a slower swing speed. Would the 12 outperform the 10.5 as we slower swingers have been told?

Ian.. I watch almost all the golf Youtube channels. And I've watched almost all TXG videos. I can say with 100% certainty, that you are the most knowledgeable fitter/golfer/expert in this space.

No question about it. You know the most from everyone. And you explain it the best.

So much great technical information! Next time I'm in the market for new clubs I want to get fitted with this kind of precision.

Thanks for this video! Please keep Matt around. He never has a bad question.

Another great video with oodles of excellent information. One thing to consider is the desired shape of the shots. Lofting up usually adds a little more "draw", while removing loft adds "fade". It helps to know this when considering the "standard" loft of the driver as your starting point. For instance, if the loft you want is 9º, a standard head at 8º, lofted up to 9º, might encourage a draw. The opposite is true for a standard head of 10º, when lofted down to 9º, might promote a slight fade. To the individual, there may be a preference.

Watching this in 2021 and my boy Matt hitting 315 carry + plus now. Crazy how much carry he picked up in 2 years

[jwfriend]

Amazing. A great conversation between the two men. Questions being asked and answered.

Great video. As an avid TXG watcher I am not sure why I had not seen this one before! Interestingly fitted only a week or so ago from an R9 10.5 head into a Ping G410 12* head with 2* up delivery giving circa 14* launch angle with c.2400 spin which seemed to come out higher and squeeze out some more height and carry distance. Seems my fitter might have got it about right! 👍🏼

I have recently changed my stock Fujikura Pro XLR8 61 stiff shaft for a MCA Tensei CK White X 60 but left the head at 8.5*. The ball would just fall out of the sky. After watching this I changed the loft to 10.5 and could not hit a bad shot on the range. I felt like I could just hit the ball as hard as I wanted and it would just go and go. I will see how things perform on the course later this week. Thanks for all of the great information.

Hi Guys, I want to say well done with your series of videos. they have been so informative. Keep up the good work!

[neilstableford]

More fantastic insight into the science of Golf. This level of fine tuning allied to swing consistency is the way to go 👍⛳🏌️

[evis]

Would love for you guys to show data from different swing speeds and ball speeds. The lower swing speeds would probably show better results with more loft.

[Drjeremy]

Excellent video. You didn’t get too technical and the pace of explanation and the too and fro between Ian and Matt
Was spot on. Thanks.

[jonasandersen]

You're production quality is awesome! Love whenever Matt is hitting shots, great to see ball data - Fantastic stuff guys, your channel is for sure going to grow fast!

I made my first driver purchase here recently without being fitted. I chose a 12 degree M2 and I’m so happy I did. Maybe I hit a 10.5 better but I have no problem going 280 carry with my 12. I think it’s vanity that keeps a lot of people from going with a higher loft. They think it’s for seniors.

[adammimran]

This was a master class in golf physics. Thanks for the knowledge

[stevensmith]

Brilliant, I now why my 12.5 driver falls out of the sky. I was so focused on the “launch angle” charts I saw, I didn’t consider the other variables. Getting fitted is the key.

As a new & growing Channel, you should introduce yourselves by name and what you do and the name of your business at the beginning of each video. You have to assume that you are acquiring new, first-time viewers on every video. Keep up the good work!

[BruceLowe]

Very well explained and definitely worth a watch. Nice getting some easy to follow technical insight.
