00:00Everyone I've spoken to always talks about starting at the green, chipping, putting,
00:06perfect that, get the ball to do what you want around the green, right?
00:09Yes.
00:09And then build the rest of your set around that.
00:11So you've got your ball before you go for a driver fit.
00:14And that's the ball I play.
00:15This driver has to work with that ball.
00:17Correct.
00:18That's how they tend to do it.
00:19And then I was thinking, does that work?
00:21Because surely everyone in the world, if you're going to test on the short game,
00:25you're just going to pick the spinniest golf ball.
00:26Because we're always told spinniest ball, lowest launch, is what gives you the control around the short game.
00:34So who's going to pick one that spins less and pops up a little more?
00:39So you're all going to start with the same ball, surely?
00:41No, surely not.
00:42Personal preference.
00:43Some people like a hard feel.
00:44Some people might not create.
00:46I don't create spin anyway.
00:48So I'm just like around the green.
00:50I can't physically do it.
00:51So if you went for a fitting and you saw, you said, I don't spin the ball much.
00:55And then you found one that span 100 reds more.
00:57I'd be all over like a rash because it's just so cool, yeah.
01:00And your whole game is then, your whole ball choice is orientated around that short game.
01:05But what I'm suggesting, I'm wondering whether, is that the right way of going about it?
01:09Because like I said, I think if I was testing a ball around the green, I would just go,
01:13and they said, right, this is where you make your choice.
01:14And then it just fits, it'll have to fit the rest of your game.
01:18I would go into the spinniest one because I just want the most spin around the green
01:20that I can find, obviously.
01:21So that confuses me.
01:23And I just wonder whether a better strategy for that might be, find the area of your game
01:29to address that is your biggest weakness or the lowest hanging fruit or the area that
01:33you could get the most benefit from.
01:36And then the rest of your game has to adapt around that.
01:37And for me, my biggest problem is that exact shot between 125 and 190 into a 15, 20 mile
01:50an hour headwind.
01:50Well, I have to hit a club and a half more than people I drive at 30 yards past.
01:55So that's a big issue for me in terms of control.
01:58So I'm wondering whether you just, it's not just a start at the green and work back.
02:03Because if I start at the green, I'm going to make that bit even worse for me.
