00:00 Okay, so Charlie, we've got your four bag of clubs here.

00:02 We're going to take everyone at home through what's in your bag and why.

00:06 So, let's start with the wedges.

00:08 So, you've got a 60 degree, 54, 50 degree.

00:14 Is that the same setup you've had for a long time?

00:16 Yeah, pretty much. It's just enough gaps in all the different, you know,

00:19 the wedges to play different shots with in my shot game.

00:21 You've obviously got the new MG4 there.

00:23 Yeah.

00:23 In the 60. How are you finding that one?

00:25 I really like it. I put it in the bag at US Open and it really helped a lot on the greens.

00:28 So, it was in straight away. It's good signs.

00:30 Yeah.

00:31 Yeah, I mean, obviously, I've worked with you a little bit now and obviously,

00:35 you know, it would be a common theme through the bag is that you haven't really changed too much.

00:39 You like what you like.

00:40 Exactly, yeah.

00:40 And we keep things fairly kind of simple and year on year.

00:44 Moving on into the irons.

00:45 So, something that's quite unusual, I would say, for an LPGA player is you're playing blades.

00:52 So, we've got the 50 degree straight into pitch and wedge, P7MB right through to the 4-Ride there.

00:57 So, like I say, that's quite unusual, I'd say, for an LPGA player.

01:01 Not any more than I know that play a set of blades through the bag and obviously into the shafts.

01:05 Again, 125 grams is pretty heavy, but something that you got used to and you like.

01:10 I've always played blades since I was a kid.

01:12 Like, my first set of clubs was blades and I've always never ever, not played anything other than,

01:18 I used to play tailor-made clubs with the blades back 10, 15 years ago when I was nine, ten years old.

01:23 For everyone at home, like, how far would you say you hit the 4-Ride?

01:26 190.

01:27 190 and then you're moving up into a hybrid.

01:29 Carry that 208.

01:30 208. So, you got 18 yard gap there. Pretty standard once you get up this end of the bag.

01:36 And then my 3-Wedge, my 230 to 235.

01:38 Okay, good. And then, do you know how far would be an average carry? I know it depends on conditions.

01:43 Like, 255, 250.

01:44 255, so you got a pretty good spread there. And are you good at, like, say, manipulating the yardages?

01:49 So, you've got an in-between, you've got a 220.

01:51 I like to, like...

01:52 Would you be hitting a hard hybrid or a soft?

01:53 It depends on, kind of, what's around the green, but sometimes I'll hit, like, a firm, drawy rescue

01:58 or I'll just hit, like, a nice little February Fadey through with him.

02:02 So, yeah, let's go up to the driver. So, Stealth 2 driver, 8-degree.

02:09 Again, very unusual for an LPGA player to play quite a low-lofted driver like that.

02:13 Yeah.

02:13 Talk us through the driver and why you like that setup.

02:15 I don't really like it too spinny and anything more loft, it was getting a bit spinny.

02:18 So, that was better for me and I've always had this shaft, probably for, like, 10 years now

02:22 and I don't make it no more, so I've got to be careful I don't snap any clubs.

02:25 Everything here, to me, looks like it's geared towards low spin.

02:29 And then you're moving on from that, you're in the TP5X, right, which is the low-spin golf ball.

02:33 Yeah.

02:34 So, everything seems to me about keeping the ball flight down, fighting spin.

02:37 Oh, 100%, yeah.

02:38 So, yeah, that's the golf ball and then putter, TP Soto putter.

02:46 Pretty traditional.

02:47 Yeah, I like a traditional putter.

02:50 Obviously, I was brought up playing Scotty Cameron putter, but then you guys come with me to this

02:55 and I really, really liked it and I like playing with it.

02:58 And again, this is what, in about two and a half, three years with this one now?

03:01 Yeah, yeah, it's been two and a half years, yeah.

03:03 So, the common theme here is really not much changes.

03:06 You try and change as little as possible because you like what you like and you know what you know.

03:09 Yeah, I'm quite a traditional player, I think.

03:11 That's, we've basically gone through your bag there.

03:13 TP5X golf ball, Soto putter, MG4 and MG3 wedges there, P7MB irons and then a little bit of a mix-up in the woods.

03:23 Stealth II driver, 8-degree.
