00:00Right, good one for you today. Not only are we at the beautiful Pinehurst, we've got Peter Finch with us.
00:04We're going to take a look in your bag, aren't we?
00:06Yes, we are. Why does every video start with a handshake, even though we've spent the last four days together?
00:10Go again, it's a double handshake.
00:11Your hands are very warm, by the way.
00:13Very familiarised.
00:13I'd say unusually warm.
00:15Yeah, that's something that's a cross I've had to bear, but let's not talk about that.
00:19Let's talk about equipment.
00:20So I was going to ask you, would you consider yourself an equipment nerd, a bit of a gearhead?
00:27But I've been watching some videos of you, and I think I know the answer to that.
00:29I think, yes, there's a secret gear nerd in there.
00:31I mean, probably buried deep down.
00:33I want to know, certainly when I was reviewing clubs, I wanted to know a lot more.
00:37All I want to really know now is as much as I need to for me to be confident in
00:43what I'm using, is probably the easiest way to say it.
00:45I think it's the same as anything.
00:47You can go really deep down into the tech, but I think if you get fitted and you know that
00:53what you're using is correct for you,
00:54then I think that's probably as deep as you need to go.
00:56Like these clubs haven't really changed much this year, which for me is unusual.
01:02I'm usually changing this bag twice a year if I was reviewing clubs, but now I'm more settled.
01:07I can just stick to what I know.
01:09Your focus shifted a bit then, because obviously back when reviewing clubs, like you say, you need to know everything
01:14about everything.
01:15You've focused a lot more on playing now.
01:17So I guess you want some continuity there.
01:19Because as a club reviewer, I'm playing different clubs every week and it's very difficult, isn't it?
01:22It's probably more rather than worrying too much about the performance of the golf clubs, which I know is there.
01:27This is more worrying about my own performance, if that kind of makes any sense.
01:31Yeah, it makes lots of sense.
01:32Because I do worry. I don't worry, yeah.
01:33And also, having watched the JJ video, your fitting video out at TPI, I think you can be pretty confident
01:39you're probably in good specs, right?
01:41Yeah, I mean, to be honest, it was an eye-opener in some respects, because I went over there with
01:47maybe some ideas about what I wanted.
01:49But it very quickly became apparent that they're much more knowledgeable than me.
01:55It's never a nice revelation when you know and you realise you're thick.
02:00But when it does happen, I think it can be quite freeing.
02:03I can empathise, Pete.
02:04Yeah, you know this. I'm sure everyone watching or listening to this understands.
02:08They're well aware of that, Pete.
02:09Which end of the bag would you like to start with, Pete? Big or little?
02:12I mean, I would say, I mean, we could start at the top down.
02:16Okay, let's start at the top down.
02:17There's a driver we are in.
02:20So you came out, I remember seeing on the video, you came out on my favourite driver, the Ping G430
02:24Max 10K, and now we're in a GT3.
02:27And you picked up a ludicrous amount of ball speed that I saw on this.
02:29I mean, it was a bit of a weird one, because I knew, obviously, when I signed for Titles, I
02:33kind of knew that switching into a different driver,
02:37if I'm going to be honest, like almost any driver, I knew I was going to gain some ball speed.
02:41I knew I was going to gain some distance on the Ping.
02:43What the Ping was great for was I could literally just throw it at the ball, and I knew something
02:49was going to come out.
02:49No matter where on the face it was hit, it'd be okay.
02:52But during the testing and during the fitting for that GT3, I was able to keep it on the planet
03:00with my missed strikes.
03:01But then my good strikes with this club were just literally, you know, we're talking like 20, 30 yards further.
03:06It's a big, big difference.
03:07It was hard, wasn't it?
03:08I've seen some 180 ball speed.
03:09We played yesterday, and I was surprised at the speed.
03:11I really was.
03:12It was very impressive.
03:13But it's a GT3, 9 degree, D1 setting, Tensei 1K black, 75 TX, a little, on the heavier side, do
03:20you know why you ended up in something a little heavy,
03:23or were you just paying attention to JJ?
03:25Yeah, so it's a little bit shorter as well, and it was kind of like the combination of I was
03:31swinging hard enough and hitting the ball far enough
03:33that I just wanted a tiny bit, a tiny bit more control.
03:36So, for context, you cruise about, you're a 120 guy, really.
03:39About 120, yeah, about 120.
03:40I'm not sure about today.
03:42A few layers.
03:43I'd happen to top out at 100 today, if I'm being honest.
03:46But, yeah, so around 120, and when I'm hitting it well and when I'm confident, I can swing a little
03:50bit quicker than that.
03:52But with a slightly heavy shaft, slightly shorter shaft, it's almost just reminding myself that I don't need to.
03:58You know, if I'm carrying it about 290, 300, like pretty much every course that I'm playing, even in comps,
04:03that's more than enough.
04:04I don't need to get any further than that.
04:06So it's just about then having a level of control.
04:10So in terms of setup, from looking yesterday, it was a pretty neutral ball flight.
04:14There wasn't too much movement left to right or right to left.
04:16Have you got it?
04:16Yeah.
04:17Do you like to see one shot or the other off the tee?
04:18I've been trying to draw it a lot more this year.
04:21So I was always a fade ball flight pretty much all my life.
04:24And then this year, I switched to something a little bit more shallow.
04:27I just wanted to see a draw because I couldn't really hit a draw that consistently.
04:31And with the driver, it's still a little bit tricky.
04:35Like I feel I hit a draw with my driver and what actually comes out is a relatively straight ball
04:39flight.
04:40Yeah.
04:40If I want to fade it, then that's fine.
04:42But getting that pure draw, still not quite there yet.
04:44We're all tough.
04:45You don't see many slingers off the tee, do you, full stop at a high level?
04:49There's not many people who can get modern drivers turning over hugely that I've seen.
04:52It kind of depends.
04:54I mean, again, it depends on equipment, depends on ball, like how much spin you're generating.
04:57But also, I think what you'll find is a lot of the most consistent drivers certainly fade it.
05:03But if you want to be able to still produce the best numbers, you have to be able to get
05:07shallow.
05:07You have to be able to hit up.
05:08And that's always a lot easier for me when I'm kind of in my draw swing feeling.
05:13And then you look at some of the best drivers in the world, your Rory's, your Bryson's and so on.
05:18The longest drivers will generally still draw it.
05:20Yeah, sure.
05:22So GT3's been a bit of a unicorn.
05:23I see it in so many bags out on top, whether it's tightless players or non-contracted players.
05:28What do you think it is?
05:28It's just, to me, profiles, very player-friendly.
05:32And it just does the business numbers as well, isn't it?
05:34I mean, tightless drivers have always been a little bit classic.
05:37If you're a good player, like a tightless driver just looks nice behind the ball.
05:40But this one, for me, was slightly different.
05:43Like, GT3 head shape is more geared towards your better golfer.
05:47However, on the poor strikes, it's still really good, especially out of the heel.
05:52Like, the toe, you get a bit more of a draw, which is usual.
05:55But out of the heel, it's, yeah, it's class.
05:59And grips-wise, so we're here, actually, spoiler alert, we're here on our Golf Pride trip.
06:02So you've got some Z-grip aligns on here.
06:04Yes.
06:05Going back through your grip history, you've tried a few bits and bobs, haven't you?
06:10So you've been in Jumbo Max for a while, super thick.
06:12Yeah, yeah.
06:12How long were you in those?
06:13What was that experiment like?
06:15And how have we ended up back here?
06:16Well, I had, like, a few years ago, I had really bad kind of wrist issues.
06:20And I don't think it's based on any actual evidence, but a lot of people were saying,
06:25you know, thicker grips do kind of help mitigate any kind of wrist injury.
06:30So Bryson was using them at the time.
06:34I used a grip which wasn't quite as thick as his, but it was still really, really beastly.
06:39And I used them over the course of the year.
06:41I didn't particularly play any better, but my wrist injuries seemed to kind of dissipate
06:45over that time.
06:46Now I've gone back to a more standard conventional grip for this year.
06:49It's still Jumbo size.
06:51In Golf Pride, just a tall velvet.
06:53And the wrist injuries have stayed away.
06:55Okay.
06:55So I don't know if it was just timing.
06:58I don't know if it was just more of a look thing.
07:01But in that point where I switched to the thicker grips, I definitely felt better than
07:05my wrist.
07:06Have you ever had much of a preference?
07:07Because obviously the Align Max there has got a very prevalent rib down the back.
07:11Between round and rib grips, are you someone who's sensitive to that?
07:14So I started to use, this year, I used the putter grip, which had a really heavy ridge
07:19on the back, like an unusually heavy ridge.
07:21And I just liked the way that it felt.
07:23I liked the fact that it felt like I could square the club up a lot easier.
07:26So then I tried a few of the Align Max clubs and they were really good as well.
07:32I just felt quite comfortable.
07:34So it's just more of a feeling.
07:36And I think going into next season, I'm going to use it a little bit more.
07:39I mean, I've got the Z on these at the moment, but I think I might go for maybe the
07:44Align Max
07:45as well.
07:45Because at the moment, these are only in midsize.
07:47It's got a few extra layers under.
07:49So I think when the jumbo comes out, I'll probably switch into that.
07:51Question for you.
07:52I don't know how you find this.
07:53When you go down into the wedges, you see a lot of guys, like Zander's a guy, who goes
07:56Align Max through the bag and then gets the wedges and goes round.
07:59Sheffield's the same.
08:00Because when you're opening and closing face, feeling that ridge, is that not something that
08:03bothers you?
08:04Not really.
08:05I mean, I look at it as almost a, if I've got that alignment ridge in the back and I
08:12open up the club face, which is generally what you're going to be doing with your wedges,
08:14if anything.
08:15Opening up that club face.
08:17And if I feel that ridge kind of running a little bit more to the left of my left hand,
08:21then that's actually quite good for me because I could be like, I know it's in that right
08:24position.
08:24Calibrating how open it is.
08:26Yeah.
08:26So that's the way I'm kind of looking at it.
08:28And I just like the idea of playing the same club, same grips throughout the bag.
08:32I don't want to switch and change too much on feel.
08:34Makes good sense.
08:35I just skipped ahead there.
08:36It's a hybrid.
08:37So what are we calling this?
08:39We're not calling it a mini driver.
08:40We've got a GT 280, 13 degrees.
08:42GT 280 mini driver.
08:45And this has been, I think this has been my favorite club this year.
08:48It's just so, it's just so good.
08:53There you go.
08:54Club review.
08:54Great.
08:55Again, that's Peter Finch, everybody.
08:57Put that on a t-shirt.
08:57Why did you get out of reviewing?
08:59I did find out when my vocabulary was lacking.
09:03Struggling for words.
09:03When it came to certain clubs.
09:05So I looked at my stats last season and I'm pretty sure it was only five times that I
09:11hit my three-wood.
09:12Oh, wow.
09:13In the year, later our comps.
09:15Now, I'm not playing full seasons at all, but it was still a lot of rounds.
09:19And to only hit it five times, it was a bit of a wasted club.
09:23Correct.
09:23I love my hybrid, so I didn't want to change that.
09:26So I was like, well, what's going to fit in that gap?
09:28There's no point doing five-wood.
09:29That's not going to change anything.
09:31And since I put the mini driver in, I've used it loads.
09:33Like, it's a great option off the tee and I can still hit it off the fairway.
09:36And it's just, it's just class.
09:39It just feels so good.
09:39What are you carrying that, do you think?
09:41So, like, my full driver, I'm getting about 290.
09:44So this is about 270.
09:46Okay.
09:46But I can get a little bit more out of it if I want to.
09:50And I can also kind of hit this beautiful little kind of 250 cut as well.
09:54Squeezy little cut.
09:55So it's a club which has, I've got like three or four different shots I can play with it
10:00that I know and I'm confident with.
10:01And that's kind of all I'm really looking for.
10:04Setup-wise, so we are basically same driver sharp in 85 grams, 60X, the 1K black.
10:11Is that something you've always done?
10:12Do you like to match feels of shafts as well?
10:13Yeah.
10:14Yeah, I don't.
10:15Again, it's one of those things where, you know, shaft heads might get a little bit more
10:21into this than me.
10:22But I kind of feel if there's something that I like and the shaft is of a good quality,
10:26there's no reason why I can't use that.
10:28Like throughout the top end of my bag, I could get into the minutiae of it a little bit more,
10:33but I just don't think it's necessary.
10:34And the guys are tireless again fitted.
10:35As I said, yeah, the numbers are great.
10:37So yeah, just trust it.
10:37So why mess with it?
10:38So talking of the hot club you love, you hit this a lot yesterday, round number two.
10:42Yeah, it's class.
10:42Little GT3, 19 degrees, C4 setting.
10:46So we're just going progressively up in weight as we go shorter in shafts.
10:49So the 95 hybrid shaft in the 1K black.
10:52Just from what I saw yesterday, you can do a bit of everything with this, can't you?
10:55Yeah, I mean, I used to hate hybrids.
10:57I just really didn't understand them.
10:59I didn't get them.
11:01But then I used a tail made one last year and I had a KBS, I think it was like
11:08a, I want
11:09to say it was a hundred and...
11:10The 105.
11:11It's 105.
11:11Yeah, the proto, the red band.
11:13Yeah, it's the one that Rahm was using.
11:15Yeah.
11:16And it was just effectively a hybrid, but it just had the stiffest shaft, heaviest graphite
11:21shaft kind of possible, carbon shafts on.
11:25And I just loved it.
11:27I absolutely loved it.
11:28So when I switched into the title, I was like, I just want to find something.
11:31Replicate this.
11:32Which can do this job.
11:34And the GT3 has just done that.
11:36And it's just great.
11:37I love it.
11:38I mean, there's very few clubs in the bag, which I could tinker with and I could change,
11:42but that's not going anywhere.
11:43Have you been tempted, obviously, because the contract you found with Titleist and being
11:47essentially a Titleist staff player, the places you can go, the people you've got access
11:51to, the Tour, but it's like sweet shop stuff for people watching this as well, right?
11:54You've been very disciplined to not mooch about too much, right?
11:58Yeah.
11:58So something I found with, and it might sound like an absolute dream, and in many respects
12:05it is, but if you're like a staff player, Tour player, and the guy's on Tour, what you'll
12:10notice about their bags is the consistency, and they very rarely switch.
12:14They'll only switch into something if there's a big problem or there's a very specific need.
12:21And usually that change isn't a great deal.
12:23Like these guys play week in, week out, consistency is what matters.
12:26And you don't really want to be introducing a variable that you don't control straight away.
12:31So for me, having the consistency of the clubs is going to be key kind of moving forward
12:36into the comps, because I just want to know what I'm doing with each one.
12:39I don't want to guess too much anymore.
12:41No surprises is a good thing in equipment generally, isn't it?
12:44So then we go into the irons, and T150s, that was a surprise to me.
12:48So what was the thought here?
12:50So four iron through to pitching wedge, pitching wedge at 44 degrees.
12:53Why T150 over T100s?
12:55Is it a loft thing, a launch thing?
12:57It was so...
12:59What I really did...
13:00So obviously if you're playing with slightly stronger lofts than conventional, you say,
13:05the worry is you're going to have a lack of spin.
13:07You might get a bit more launch, for example, on some clubs.
13:10But for me, we tested these, and again, against just a normal T100s.
13:15Numbers-wise were very similar.
13:18Very similar.
13:19I didn't drop off much spin.
13:21Okay.
13:21So I was kind of like, well...
13:22You've gained a bit of pop.
13:23Yeah.
13:24So I was kind of like, well, why don't I just play something which is probably a little bit
13:26more forgiving as well.
13:29And yeah, we just kind of netted out on that.
13:31I've got to be honest.
13:32I kind of wanted...
13:33Again, I went into the fitting and I was trying to...
13:35620 MBs?
13:36Oh, no.
13:37No, the opposite.
13:38Oh, really?
13:39Yeah, so the T200 iron.
13:40I love the T200 iron.
13:42T250, the new one?
13:44At the time, it was like the T200 iron.
13:46Okay.
13:46And it was just...
13:49I loved it.
13:50I loved the feel.
13:51I loved the look.
13:52I loved everything about it.
13:53Did you like the four iron of that for a little while?
13:55Yeah.
13:55Yeah, yeah.
13:56But the problem is the distance.
13:58So, you know, you get a T200 in my hands with a seven iron and I can get that like
14:02200 yards.
14:04It's a redundant kind of set in many respects, unless I can carry all those distance gains
14:08as we get into the woods.
14:11So, but I just love the feel.
14:12I love the look.
14:13I love the forgiveness.
14:13So, I was trying to convince everybody that I'd just create an iron swing or I'd be swinging
14:18like 10 miles an hour slower.
14:20Trying to convince everyone or trying to convince yourself?
14:21Everybody, yeah.
14:22I just love the idea of like slowly turning into like an old man golfer.
14:28Yeah.
14:28Like just massive hairs.
14:29Graduating into some 70 gram graph.
14:31Yeah, exactly.
14:32Just little Monty swings.
14:33Just like pap it down there.
14:35That's my dream.
14:35Didn't work out?
14:36No, they said I'd be an idiot.
14:38So, I've been going too quick.
14:39Okay.
14:39And then to X100, Dynamic Gold Tour issue.
14:41See, this is our, this is our like North Star of every what's in the bag we do.
14:45Yeah.
14:46I'm going to go with X100 Tour issue.
14:47Do you, are you somebody who graduates down softer in the wedges or do you go X100 throughout?
14:51What I really loved about the Titleist fitting was like they said, do you, they would basically
14:56say, do you have a preferred shaft?
14:57And I played X100s really pretty much all throughout when I was a junior.
15:02And then when I was like messing around with club fitting over the past few years when I've been doing
15:06reviews, I was trying out all these different shafts and, you know, got fitted into a variety of different ones.
15:13But when I went to the tightest fit and said, do you have a preferred shaft?
15:15I said, well, X100, that's what I've always used.
15:17I said, okay, cool.
15:18We'll just, we'll build around that.
15:20Because it's like, if you know a feel, you know what you like, we don't need to mess around with
15:25this.
15:25Do you know what?
15:25We've heard that a lot.
15:26We did a thing with Trotty out of the kingdom.
15:28Yeah.
15:29And he was trying, he was not, not playing down the shaft element of it, but he said, that's the
15:34last thing we tend to look at in a fit with really good players because it's just a feel and
15:39timing thing.
15:39If they're used to something, that's, that's going to work in something else.
15:42And if you actually want to make tangible changes to flight and launch and spin, a click of a wrench
15:46will do that just like that.
15:47Like shafts, shafts can make a difference.
15:51They, they can.
15:52And, you know, you can have experiments and you can play around and you can see which one's going to
15:55work best for you.
15:56But I said, if you can have something which you're comfortable and confident with, that's the, that's more important really
16:03in this respect.
16:04And like X100s, I just know what I'm going to get.
16:07I just know what I'm going to get.
16:09Cool.
16:09So down into the wedges, relatively strong pitching wedge at 44.
16:13Is that playing 44?
16:14Do you know?
16:14Yeah, so I'm effectively going from a, a pitching wedge at 44 into a standard, like, well, this is 49
16:22degrees, the wedge.
16:23Sorry, I missed this out.
16:24I was thinking there was something in between there.
16:26So I've, I've kind of got, as far as like traditional lofts go, I've kind of almost got two kind
16:31of pitching wedges.
16:32Yeah.
16:32The, the pitching wedge in the 44 degree, that's creeping towards more of a nine iron kind of traditional loft.
16:36So I've stuck a, another gap wedge in there as well.
16:39So, I mean, it depends how you think about your iron and your wedge makeup.
16:44For me, I don't think about my iron so much as it's a seven iron, it should go this distance,
16:50it should be this loft.
16:51I've just got a variation of different lofts.
16:53Yeah.
16:54And as I get to my wedges, I've got that nice little bit of gapping there.
16:56Okay, cool.
16:57So fairly standard, full sole grinds, 48, 10F, 54, 14F, so quite a high bounce.
17:03Then we've got, so we're, we're chrome in the, in the two lower loft wedges and then into the raw
17:08in the, in the lob wedge.
17:10Yeah.
17:10We're blending, we're blending aesthetics here, Pete.
17:12So walk me through that.
17:13There's nothing really to it.
17:17They just gave me a raw.
17:18They just gave me a raw in the 60 and I was kind of like, yeah, okay, cool.
17:22I kind of like the look of it.
17:23We've got a ding here, Pete.
17:24Oh, mate, I've got things, I've got things all over the place.
17:26Oh, I don't know.
17:27I've hit off a lot of car passes here.
17:29So it's not, it's not a massive surprise.
17:31Yeah.
17:32This one's kind of mashed up on the bottom.
17:33So 60 V grind.
17:36Talk me through the wedge fitting process with you at Vokey.
17:40Again, it was, it was one of those where I was, I had a pretty conceived notion of what I
17:44wanted.
17:45I wanted pretty standard with the, with the kind of grind, pretty similar bounce angle.
17:51But then again, they took me through the whole kind of fitting process.
17:53And yeah, this is what, this is what came out and this is what was recommended.
17:57So I just trusted, I just trusted what they said.
18:00Feels like you've got the right people.
18:01Let's finish on the flat stick.
18:03Before we get to that, I think you might be one of the pioneers of the lie angle balance movement.
18:07You're one of the first people.
18:09Yeah.
18:09Full out there, rocking that DF 2.1, was it?
18:13Yeah, yeah.
18:13I mean, the, when the, when that all came out and when we were the first to try it, there
18:20was me, I was one of the first.
18:22There was a few of those, I think Rick kind of reviewed them a little bit later.
18:25But when those reviews came out, like Lab just went massive.
18:29And it's not just me saying this, like, you know, I've spoken to the guys at Lab as well.
18:33And they say it was an absolute game changer for them.
18:35It really kind of got them going.
18:37They're going to commission for it.
18:39Yet.
18:40We'll pass it on to Sam.
18:41Thanks.
18:41We'll see how that goes.
18:43But I think, honestly, it was a weird moment because I was chatting to him at the Open.
18:47It wasn't, it wasn't this year.
18:49Was it Troon?
18:50I think it was a Troon.
18:51And I knew and I know that the videos that we make have a certain amount of influence.
18:56You know, that's where the name comes from, I suppose.
18:58But that was maybe the first time where I was like, oh, I'm being told about a real tangible, huge
19:05difference to a small company,
19:07which is now going to be a really big company.
19:09And obviously they've done the work to get to that point.
19:12But it was kind of nice to review a product, really enjoy it, and to see the success that they've
19:17had.
19:17How did that make you feel?
19:18Does that make you feel sort of a sense of responsibility or pride or what?
19:20A little bit.
19:21I think it made me feel a bit more conscious of some of the, because obviously when you're doing reviews,
19:28I think it's easy to be a bit flippant about some things.
19:33Not just clubs, but balls and everything.
19:36And to kind of try and understand that actually there is a company behind that.
19:40And behind that company, there are people.
19:41And these things actually might make more of a difference than maybe I would have thought.
19:46And so it was a, yeah, it was a nice, it was a nice moment to just reflect and be
19:50like, okay, this is probably more than, more than what I thought it was.
19:55So, yeah.
19:55Okay.
19:56So flat stick at the moment.
19:58Actually, one more before we get into that.
19:59I keep thinking of stuff I remember seeing you playing.
20:01P2 grips.
20:02I was a big P2 grip, man.
20:04Yeah, yeah.
20:04With the messed up core.
20:06Messed up core is probably a bit harsh.
20:08Getting you more in on the deviation, higher hands.
20:10I was a big fan of that.
20:11You rocked that for a little while.
20:12Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
20:13I mean, listen, I'll try anything.
20:14I've noticed because in, back at our cottage at number eight, Pete's got, how many putters you brought with you,
20:18Pete?
20:19I've only brought four.
20:19Only four.
20:20Only four.
20:21Four this week.
20:21Also, you've been re-gripping them.
20:23You've been cutting them down.
20:24We've been, what's been going on?
20:25However, this is because of, I want some kind of consistency again.
20:29So, again, the grip I was using putter-wise for most of this year was a two-thumb, not a
20:35two-thumb, two-thumb, but they had a variation of like a, it was kind of like a no-taper,
20:40kind of heavy ridge along the back.
20:43Yeah.
20:44It almost to the point where it felt like it was an error in design.
20:49Okay.
20:49Like, it felt too sharp and it felt too, the ridge was too much.
20:53But I started putting with it and I'm like, oh my God, I could just, I could square, I feel
20:56like I could square this up so easily.
20:58And now the Golf Pride have got the kind of pro only and it's the same thing.
21:02So, what I've done is I've taken the four putters, I've cut them to 33, which is the preferred length
21:06I like.
21:07Yeah.
21:07And I've put the same grip on every single putter so I can have a level of consistency with that.
21:12So, you've got your squad, they're all set up identical.
21:14Exactly, exactly.
21:14Because I'm so happy with how that Golf Pride grip feels.
21:17I'm like, you know what, I'm just going to stick to this.
21:21Okay.
21:21And I'm going to keep it, I'm going to be consistent with it and I'm going to kind of get
21:24set.
21:25Even before next year begins, I already know kind of what the putters are going to feel like in my
21:29hands.
21:29So, I'm open to like changing potentially the head shape, but no, that grip stays.
21:35Have you tried any of the Scotty Cameron, the sort of, not zero torque, the low torque patterns that they've
21:40just released?
21:42Yeah, so I was having a lesson with Phil Kenyon this year.
21:46I'm not sure when this is coming out, 2025.
21:50We've got a very slow edit.
21:51Yeah.
21:52So, if you're watching this in 2027, thank you for watching the channel.
21:56It was great while I was here, but I'm in a better place.
22:00And the kind of lesson was all about alignment and it was an incredible lesson, actually.
22:08If you want to check it out, it is on my channel and it's one for real nerds.
22:13But it was almost like a four-hour lesson and we spent all of that time, not all of it,
22:18but pretty much all the time,
22:20on body positioning, alignment, where my eyes were, how I was perceiving putts.
22:26And it became pretty clear that the way I look at putts and the way I see lines is so
22:30much better
22:31when I have quite clean front edge, nice, solid alignment, but also I was aligning this style of putter better
22:38than I was like a zero torque style of putter.
22:41Okay.
22:41Yeah.
22:42Based on where the face is relative to the shaft forward and back.
22:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:44And I've tried all the Scotty stuff and I do like them, but I think I've been putting with this
22:50style of putter now,
22:51mallet, for most of this year.
22:55And, you know, I'm kind of, I'm happy with that feel.
22:58I'm pretty sure this is one you came out with in the video.
23:02Yeah.
23:02So I've been using, I've been using a couple of different styles, again, mostly based on what the alignment aid
23:07is.
23:08This is the putter I was using kind of like during open qualifying in most of my comps this year.
23:12So I'm confident and happy with it.
23:14Yeah.
23:15I just wanted to experiment with a bit of a longer line on my second putter.
23:18Perfect.
23:18Right.
23:19Finally, ball, what are we in, please?
23:20Strix on.
23:21Pro V.
23:22Pro V.
23:23Straight down.
23:24No left dash.
23:25No Pro VX, just a Pro V.
23:27Based on what, softer feel?
23:28Softer feel.
23:29Softer feel, just a bit more distance, slightly lower flight.
23:32So when I get the X, I can smash it, but I hit the ball, I'm hitting the ball a
23:37lot higher this year,
23:38and the X was just a bit too much.
23:40So Pro V, I can just control a little bit more.
23:42Perfect.
23:43Well, that is really interesting looking at your bag.
23:45So I hope you've taken up so much of your time.
23:46Go well today, Pete.
23:47Pleasure.
23:49Thanks.
23:59You
