Callaway APEX Ai300 Iron review - elegant game improvement design with tour level sound and feel
zhlédnutí 4,6KPřed 21 dnem
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more elegant design in a game-improvement iron than the new Apex Ai300. This cavity back iron has a slightly larger profile than the Ai200, but that’s to be expected based on the audience it’s geared towards. You’ll find plenty of similarities in the Ai300, however. The same Forged 455 Face Cup is present in this model, which by design would make for a truly uni...
Callaway APEX Ai200 Players Distance Irons Review
zhlédnutí 3,1KPřed 21 dnem
The player's distance iron category is evolving rapidly. At its inception, this category of iron was designed to help better players who still need an added layer of forgiveness and distance. Apex has had multiple models that have fit this bill, and the new Ai200 is a culmination of predecessors and modern technology. Callaway is categorically calling this hollow-body design its most advanced o...
Callaway Apex TiFusion irons with revolutionary forged titanium face
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed 21 dnem
If you’re in search of a premium iron set that also strays from the norm, the new Callaway Apex TiFusion has you in mind. With this model Callaway debuts an industry-first, forged titanium face. This hollow-body design featured more urethane interaction in the building process, making it fast and powerful. Aesthetically, this iron strikes me the same as a luxury car. It has all of looks (see th...

During Amateur Golf founder Pete Wlodkowski's Scotland Sabbatical, he played more than 10 courses that were founded in the 1700's. Not all have the original course layout of footprint, but most have the original clubhouse, lack space for a modern practice range a far cry from the monstrous clubhouses and amenities found at many American private clubs. And none of them are truly "private" visito...
Titleist GT Driver Fitting with Auburn's Billy Davis at the Southern Amateur

On August 1, 2024, Titleist launched their new GT driver and fairway lineup. But as with any significant equipment launch at Titleist, the wheels have been turning rapidly, starting with their R&D Team - likely even before the release of the TSR series. Collaborating with the game’s best players throughout the R&D process and then earning their final validation is foundational to developing all...

Curious why you’re in an X. I’m same club and ball speed and have never considered an X. Currently in an AD DI 6S
This is Pete from AG. Everyone's swing is different - Blaire hits it really high and is very long and straight off the tee. I just played with him at Torrey South this week and can definitely attest that he's in the right shaft (for him). If you're referring to Mr. Short Game (Matt) I'm fairly certain he uses a stiff shaft, as his swing speed isn't as fast as Blaire's. I'm happy to refer you to a fitter if you're interested in seeing what Fujikura Ventus might be able to do for you. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

@@AmateurGolf hey Pete thanks for the reply. I was referring to MSG. He said on the video that he was in the 5x in all 3 models
Great swing you have there! When is the best time to visit this course, without breaking my wallet? Any website suggestions for one stop trip planning? Thank you.
The best time is to visit is probably mid June when plane tickets and local hotels and stays are cheapest on booking.com or airbnb. Book tee time here: www.golfcrans.ch/fr/ Thanks for watching and subscribing!

What?
i love steele canyon just a awesome course
Thanks - they have been great to allow us to film in such a gorgeous setting.
I game the Paradyms how would these compare to them?
4x6 mat?
Yes. By Fiberbuilt. I love hitting off it. My dog loves sprawling out on it. With the heavy duty rubber base (it comes in squares) this is the way to go.
Who cares what you like? I am looking for the adjustments explained.
Hi it's Pete. I'm in the video. I recorded it in January right as the driver was getting released and tried to show a little bit of what a fitting looks like, and we were focused in this case on the rear weight adjustment not so much on the hosel adjustment, but I would be happy to answer any questions you have on that and put you in touch with a proper fitting location or a dealer Do you already own the driver?
Did I hear correctly that two same driver heads could perform differently and require different shafts? If true, shouldn’t we get fitted for a shaft after the head arrives to the shop?
At the highest level it's true, but a golfer that isn't as consistent won't notice minor variations as much. We are talking about very small differences from head to head. When you get fit, you will order a club to be built. In most cases it won't be the one you were trying. Unless you have access to a Tour van. Maybe that's why they are so good! Thanks for paying close attention.
Titleist really have mastered the driver sound. A controlled, but powerful thwack!
Based on HC alone would you consider these a good option for a 11-13 HC? Enjoyed the review.
Absolutely. You aspire to bring that number down and either the Ai200 or 300 are good tools to get there. I say that because they've engineered Tour sound and feel into both models, in addition to clean looks and the optimized face. I still think you should hit both on a launch monitor. Most bigger golf stores have them and these will be shipping 8/23. Need help finding a place to do that?
Thanks. We have a fitting scheduled at our club.
Have you tried the AI200’s? What are differences? I am an 80’s shooter which irons would you recommend 300’s or 200’s?
Yes, we've hit them as well and have a review posted here. We strongly suggest hitting both before you buy. If you need help finding a place to do that just let us know. Thank you for watching and subscribing! czcams.com/video/wIuTUBfvTHg/video.html
The head is steel; the face is Titanium
Thanks Bobby - you're spot on - Blaire misspoke in the beginning but clarifies that during the video.
Thank you for your review. I’ve played the DCB’s for the last 3 years, and have been looking forward to this release….⛳️
Glad you enjoyed it! Please let us know if you make a move to the new ones.
Alright someone that shoots a 90 to 100 constantly needs to do a video review for us strugglers to see the real results 😂
I am a 18 handicap as of right now and tested these clubs 2 days ago, they feel great, great distance, a soft face and they feel incredibly forgiving off the face.
without question your review is by far the best out on this club. definitely buying these irons. one questions im almost certain the stock shaft were too lite for you did you have to adjust your swing at all for that my current apex 24 CB i have X7 shafts
Thank you for watching! They were a bit light, but thankfully the stock shafts are S300s, I play the X100s in my irons so it's not too much of a difference in where it kicks and flexes
Might want to also check out Cool Clubs robot testing on these. They seem super consistent from toe to heel, but they perform terribly on SLIGHT thin shots.
What happened to ur golf channel
@@knee1499 I'll check it out!
@@odog5983 I'll be back to posting course vlogs on Formulagolf again soon! For now I've been working with Amateur Golf reviewing equipment
Very informative video. Was tinkering shaft for my long clubs, and found that the Ventus red profile works extremely well on fairway woods. It's (TR red) not really a high launch high spin shaft to me. Gonna try the new red for driver as well.
Glad it helped - if you ever want to be put in touch with a top Fujikura fitter please let us know or visit the Dealer Finder on www.fujikuragolf.com
Just bought the 2024 Supernova and it’s by far the best putter I’ve ever used!
You should be making everything by now! Please let us know how you're doing using the contact form at AmateurGolf.com
I’ve watched this video twice it’s that good and informative
Very nice of you to say.
Way to go Billy! Go team Davis! I can't tell you how much better my game got going from a SIM2 to a Tsi3. The GTs look sweet
Good one Pete!!
Thanks!
I remember Blaire way back when watching his vids is # Formula Golf # Gabe and Blaire, Movement Improvement
nice vídeo! what driver heads are you playing with the ventus shafts? thanks
Blaire is using a Callaway Ai Smoke Max Triple D head. Thanks for watching.
Pretty well identical numbers when you average them out. In the end, there is less than 1 yard of average carry distance. Actually, only about 2 feet! As for the ball going to the right with the max model, that’s what the track weight is for just slide it a bit towards the heel to correct that issue. The spin numbers on the triple diamond are actually almost higher than with the standard max in some cases. I don’t see why someone would want to go with non-adjustability and lose the track weight sliding for the sake of weights that you can swap back-and-forth when there isn’t even 5 yards of difference in distance.I would much rather have the driver with the alignment arrow on the face and have some versatility with the sliding track weight since the distances on average there’s only 2 feet that’s not even enough to make a different club selection for your next shot. Seems like the triple diamond max is simply a waste of money and just an extra cash grab to give someone an extra option.
I’m impressed with those carry distances from MSG’s ~99-100mph swing speed. That’s low effort, efficient, all smash! 💪
Great video!! Shows the importance of fitting.......was thinking of fitting into ventus recently too.....the fitter was really good.....I will be super happy too to see such results after a fitting session!
Thanks Kenneth / let us know what you get fit into and how you like it. Fujikura site has a great fitter directory. Guessing you have someone.
placed two 8g weights on the outside and a 2g weight in the middle and the club felt much more forgiving.
Are you gaming theses? Pro or standard?
Great views! And nice swing too!!!
Load of nonsense and vomit-inducing self-appreciation. It would have been much more useful to also have the Max and Triple Diamond models so you could compare the data across the three. This isn’t a review.
We followed up with exactly that. Check this out. We try to provide as much info as possible. czcams.com/video/eRWvECwlhxQ/video.htmlsi=oCllnKG33bgMCRLk
these look very good, thanks for sharing your review - I shall give them try when they appear en-mass in golf shops
thanks for the vids, Pete!!!
I looked up this video - decades later- so I could finally understand the Space Jam joke.
He's fixing a divot!
This is a great setup. I just built my sim so I can practice more. I don’t know why we don’t see more outdoor sims. I had room for a 10x10 cage with a 60 inch tv. I spent around 2500 all in. I leave the cage up and put everything else away when I’m done.
nice swing
I'm here for more Scotland vlogs Pete!
Beautiful!!!
keep them Scotland vids coming 🙌
It’s a nice shoe but it runs big just like their clothing. I usually wear a 10 and even a 10.5 in under armour but the 9.5 is still too big for me. My heels keep slipping out. Guess I will donate them and move on
Spin numbers?
They are tattoo'd all over the video and he even verbalizes it....watch the video.
great sound
We were challenged with audio on this one but future videos will be much better. Thanks
Hey Blaire, Could you tell us what weight settings you used in the driver heads? Specifically, did you use the stock settings or heavy weight in front and lightweight in back?
Everything is stock for me 👍
Pure swing 🤙🏼
Great video! just the background music ...
This kids an absolute phenom
this was impossible to get today. but i did. able to find it at pga superstore in chicago. drove 2 hours for it. so much better for me. low spin high launch easy to hit baby draw....forgiving. smoke max was nice but low spin only with low launch...the triple diamond was just too fade bias to do anyhing else..not forgiving. also the blue denali is a noodle...im about 98ss and i had to get the black denali.... cally has 2 times trade in till july 1 if you can find it.
all about the swing, (and you have a good one).
Xander use the standard triple diamond.
Yes, we confirmed that with Callaway. In Blaire's next video he is going to compare the max triple diamond and max models.
Love em!
Hearry you comeback
