A fitting from someone who is not selling their preferred brand would have your best interests at heart. Great facility and video. Great way to start the new year leading into all the new drivers being released
Great video that. Loved you calling out Gaz for wanting the coloured shafts, and then you were itching to get into the bright pink Autoflex 😂 but I definitely would be doing the same. Look forward to seeing how you get on with it.
I 100% recommend a driver fitting like this, BUT PLEASE make sure you're in golf shape before you go! I know that sounds dumb but it's not uncommon for a fitting to go longer than an hour if you're trying all the different head/shaft combinations. Because if you've never hit drivers for 1.5-2 hours straight it's exhausting! 😂
Also, in my opinion, if you have a high handicap and dont regularly break 100, then it is probably a waste of time and money to get fit. You will spend a lot of money for nice clubs with inconsistent shots. Stick with regular flex shafts for men and ladies flex for women.....get lessons, play better, and then think about a proper fitting
Thank you. But this kind of fitting is only for player that hit the ball every time on the spot. For the average player a standard shaft of today’s quality is more than good enough. 😊😊
SGGT are second to none. Superb fitting experiences on the times I’ve been for irons and wedges. Also did a driver fitting, nothing came out better than what I was gaming, so no pressure to sell me some thin I didn’t need either. So good 👌🏻
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer Great vid James. I've also been watching your pal Gary's fitting videos and he seems to have had a lot of success...especially with his driver, by adjusting swing weight.
I remember when the average Golfer barely thought about shafts beyond the flex! This along with Gary Martin’s videos have been excellent in explaining the importance of being fitted. Enjoyed this.
That was a long video but worth the time spent. What I took away from this clip is that to benefit from exotic/expensive options a player needs to have a high skill level to produce a regularly consistent swing. Without that consistent regularity the differences in successive swings can mask all differences that could be offered by different shafts. In effect I believe I can't swing the club well enough to feel the differences in the shaft options. Really, players need to be near tour standard to benefit from such a service.
Good content and informative. Would have been nice to see a summary of the data by shaft/head combination with a comparison at the end. Also a comparison showing the different dispersion results, too.
This past September I went for a driver shaft fitting at Accra in Kingston, Ontario Canada. Lucky for me they are 30 minutes from home. Ended changing shafts in both my driver and 3 fairway, kept my club heads. Eight to ten yards distance for both clubs and much better dispersion. Two weeks later another fitting for my irons switched from stiff steel shafts to regular graphite Accra shafts. Again distance gains but better ball flight and dispersion. Rather than new clubs I switched up shafts spent significantly less money and now feel I am getting the most out of the clubs I have been playing for a few years now. Money well spent.😊
I’ve been fitted for 2 sets of irons and a driver at SGGT over the years at their fitting Centres around Edinburgh. Always a great experience. One thing I really like is you’re not stuck with the manufacturers fitting carts, you can have any head on any shaft, with any grip. My clubs are all totally unique and tailored for me, I even have more tape under my right hand and a tiny amount of extra weight in the heads of my irons.
James that was a really good and interesting video. Really shows how much things have come on for the average golfer. Just viewed the Auto flex shaft for its price and note that 1 iron shaft was more than my new 2nd hand irons (let's not go to the driver shaft cost). If you do read this might be worth considering a video for your lovely irons that you currently use. Might be worth another video using off the shelf irons and different shaft inserted in them to see the differences. If you want more content video ideas give me a shout 😂. Keep it up James.
Scott and his team do amazing work. The range of options is almost limitless and they're brilliant at helping you navigate towards the best outcome for you and your game! Always worth paying them a visit.
Thanks James. I think its important when you get a fitting that the golfer talks up to the fitter and says what feels right etc. If you are hitting good shots it could be just time to stop and pick the shaft! Otherwise you risk messing too much and getting confused.. Also beware picking the last shaft you try as you are warmed up and probably walloping it at that stage!!
Would love to see a series on those who get “fitted “ with pre and post fitting results. Not just a few strikes in a simulator or a round or less on the course. But pre-first how they did the year prior to fitting. Then for a year after the fitting with the “matched for the individual’s head and shaft optimization “ actual use. That’s the only way to also eliminate some component of placebo effect.
Well you’d also try and eliminate improvement bias which is basically impossible because the person may just get better at golf over the year (or regress)
Hmmm Autoflex launching a too high and spinning too much but the same distance , I am surprised the fitter did not lower the loft which would have helped both of these issues and addressed the swing weight as Autoflex straight from their sight have a chart which shows the proper swing weight for each shaft , mine wanted a D0 D1 SW , that TSR is factory D3 - D4 which could cause a droop issue that heavy , it can be a real beast once its tuned in !!! I love mine !!! not for everyone seems to work better for smoother transitions. Hey James order a few lighter head weights and give yours another try !! it also took a few rounds to get used to the lighter feel, good luck !!!
good vid, thanks James. would have loved to see how much impact was with the new shafts fitted to your Paradigm triple diamond head. just thinking the new driver head must have had an impact on the result compared to the Callaway. Good nontheless.
I got fitted at SGGT in Edinburgh. Loved it. Spent a small fortune. Back end of 2024 for driver and 3 wood fitting. Please don’t go here expecting to save money. That will not happen. But u won’t be left disappointed
Hi James, I really enjoyed this video and as such am considering booking a driver fitting there. I also currently use the Hzrdus smoke black 6.0 shaft and carry the ball between 245-250 yards with my average spin of 1900 RPM. After listening to both you and Lawrence I wondered if switching to a slightly higher spinning shaft with a softer tip may help. I am currently shooting rounds of 76/77. Would a fitting help? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Go to a lighter shaft, I picked up a vanquish 40 gram stiff, tipped 1 inch @ 44 inches on a cobra ltd-ls, it's high launching and low spin and picked up 4 mph and 15 yards !!😀, James you and your family have a great new year !!
40gram shaft!? I shot a 77 on a pretty hard coarse Saturday and my driver averaged maybe 260yds😢. My daughter(high school) plays a 50 gram and I’ve always loved the weight of hers but obviously it too whippy. I’m gonna take your advice and get a light stiff tip shaft and try… thanks
Very interesting video James. I also like that you somehow are driving into the default windows 95 desktop graphic. :). Keep the great content coming in 2024.
As an owner of an AutoFlex X shaft (not currently using) I recognised the similarities to what you were getting. Would have liked to him try you in a lower spinning or lofted head just to see if you could have dropped spin and descent and gain some more roll out yards. Would also like to see some form of alignment on the mat just to get a better perspective on target. Also, looking at your swing it seemed clear that the old shaft wasn't ideal for you.
Can’t be the same price as a normal fitting but looks amazing I’ve gone from 60g stiff to 50g reg to hit more fairways so somewhere like that would be something I should look at 👌👍👍
This was very interesting and the interplay between you and the fitter both engaging and enlightening. One question though - at the end of the day, did you switch outs of the Paradym Triple Diamond??
Whats your opinion on mizuno swing dna tool on the shaft which uses your swing data and narrows down a selection of shafts ? Would be good to see the same for driver fitting.
All the best for the new year firstly. So why doesn't manufacturers pure their shafts before sending them for dispatch. Would have to go to the Edinburgh branch for a fitting but think I'll get a few lessons before splashing the cash but certainly worth a look do they also mess around with the weights in the head as well??
James, I purchased a Tour Edge Exotics C723 Hybrid, it is incredible. I am very interested in the Fairway Woods now, possibly a 15 degree 3 Wood the Tour Edge Exotics C723 with adjustable head. I would love to see you and Chris test it in your usual process. I believe it will have the same sweet balance, feel and performance. I would go hit one but there's no shop anywhere near me with any. Hope you, Chris and families had a "Happy" Christmas....Blessings to you in 2024!
If you’re looking budget my pick is Callaway preowned, like new paradym 3 wood is $210. Pro clubs and mikes golf outlet has some good options too. You can get a new Cobra driver head for $150 and used ventus velocore or graphite design shaft for $200
I am gaming TPT in both my driver (nitro 16hi) and mini driver (red 15lo) - never looked back!! dispersion is much tighter, and ballspeeds are through the roof without killing dispersion closing in on 200 mph BS - 10/10 recommend it to everyone,
Chris great observation, limited time with James for this video as we typically have 90mins minimum for a driver. We air compress grips and swing weight everything when time allowed but this was a pure shaft fitting same head to max out potential
@@user-gj3kt3cl3u Thats fair enough, Maybe worth mentioning in the videos as people will judge it as a fitting and perhaps think its not as in depth, thanks for the reply! Would be great to see a video comparing a pured shaft to a standard one and make it a blind test.
You sticking with TSR3 now?.😂 Watching the ball tracker, it actually looked like the Autoflex was very consistent, you just needed to turn the loft on the head down a bit to reduce some of the spin. Go back and do it again.... good fun 😂😂
Not a clue this was there, it's less than a mile from home! My local driving range, but haven't played for ages so not kept up to date. No excuses now re kit if I make a comeback..
Great video but i have a question, what level of golfer do you need to be to have a fitting like this, im cutrent a 16 handicap and i hit my driver ok, but i think i put at least 5 or 6 different swings per round with it, how can a fitter improve my game if you swing different every other time.
I would say it’s worth exploring even if via a free fitting somewhere first to see how much you benefit then venture into a more in depth fitting if you feel comfortable
Great video, always love to see a proper fitter help someone max out their potential. Looking at your tracers, "seemed" like the Autoflex was the most consistent?
James, was this before, after or with Gary? Answered while watching, Gary was having the iron shafts checked, graphite on the way. The shaft of choice at the fitting, really delivered, but will it enter the bag in the not too distant future James?
At the Autoflex … when spin and Launch are higher, you Must take off loft and the weight on the back of your Driver. This has not been professional fitting but a nice trying around by using quite some shafts 😅. Thank you anyway ❤
Do they have every shaft with the appropriate manufacturer’s tip or a universal tip (like All-Fit)? I think a lot of people that tinker would be interested in using a universal tip if a suitable one is available.
I was so interested in this as I’ve always had a keen interest in golf equipment/fitting and the tech side of the business. Unfortunately, James, you constantly interrupted the fitter. Having posed an interesting question, he tried to give a scientific and practical answer, but was always stopped halfway by you making a statement about YOUR game. He was so polite and fascinating- shame your inability to listen, stopped us from hearing the full analysis. It was as if it didn’t matter what he thought was best, you knew what was best and that was that……..shame.
Problem with alot of ppl, me included, is not having a consistent swing. What might work best for a certain swing speed at the beginning of the round may not be as good when you've been playing for 4 hours and just want to get home.
Gary didn't just change the shaft. He got his swing weight dialed in, too. I didn't see any checking or tinkering with the swing weight directly in this video.
Funny there is so much about puring the shaft. I've seen three videos on CZcams where pros can't tell the difference or determine which is pured and which isn't.
Could have been an option but we were testing shafts for maxing out. Current set up could have given improved results on set up but we did talk about the later stages of the round and wanting to work the ball a bit more
‘Every shaft in here has been pured’ fitter later states ‘You can’t pure this shaft’ when referring to the TPT! Hmmm so why has it got a Pured sticker on all the TPT range? Hope you aren’t misleading customers into charging them £30 for it to be pured when it can’t be or is not required! Anyway, still looks a top class set up but chubs will have a new driver/shaft combo in a few months again! Leopard never changes its spots!
Hi James, would have been good to see the shafts put in your current driver to see if any improvements could be gained..
A fitting from someone who is not selling their preferred brand would have your best interests at heart. Great facility and video. Great way to start the new year leading into all the new drivers being released
I used SGGT in Edinburgh and they were amazing!! Best fitters you’ll find! The amount of products and equipment they have for you to try is unreal.

You will spend a lot of money for nice clubs with inconsistent shots. Stick with regular flex shafts for men and ladies flex for women.....get lessons, play better, and then think about a proper fitting
Agreed we take along time looking at this and as you can see this is a snip at what we do in the full fitting.
When I went for a iron fitting I felt more tired than a gym session and the following day my back arms and neck was in bits.
@mugz_1437 yup, definitely need to warmup and stretch before and after....hopefully the fitters are telling everyone this prior to their appointment.
Thank you. But this kind of fitting is only for player that hit the ball every time on the spot. For the average player a standard shaft of today’s quality is more than good enough. 😊😊

That was brilliant! Proves that the shaft does matter. Clearly the key is getting fit by someone who has no "agenda". Hats off to Scott 👍👍👍
Very informative! I have recently been fit for irons and now I think the driver will be next

James this content is perfect for going into the new season. Could we get a list of what you tried, weight flex etc.?
Saw the VA composite Nemesys on the wall there. I got fitted into one of them in triple diamond paradym.
Won’t be leaving my bag for a long time
i love the 60g 6.0 too! ever since i hit a 5 wood that had that shaft, never looked back, stuck on the rest of my woods and driver
Would have loved to have seen some of the trackman data.
Would love to see a series on those who get “fitted “ with pre and post fitting results. Not just a few strikes in a simulator or a round or less on the course.
But pre-first how they did the year prior to fitting. Then for a year after the fitting with the “matched for the individual’s head and shaft optimization “ actual use.

Outstanding video James’s and this type of video is what I enjoy watching
That TPT shaft looks awesome. Ball flight instantly looked better. Very interesting to see a test like this an not have Ventus TR. in the mix
..agreed, i was waiting for the Ventus!!
Agreed, Ventus Red TR. He could use a little more height imo.
Really interesting video, James. I especially geeked out when he was talking about puring the shaft. I never knew what that meant before.
Interesting point, there are plenty of good fitters online that say that puring is a waste of money/ makes negligible difference
Fantastic video. would like to see you doing an iron fit with them.
I did this last year, and it made a huge difference, with no need to replace the club head.
good vid, thanks James. would have loved to see how much impact was with the new shafts fitted to your Paradigm triple diamond head. just thinking the new driver head must have had an impact on the result compared to the Callaway.
Good nontheless.
The TPT shafts are really next level. Amazing feel consistency.
I got fitted at SGGT in Edinburgh. Loved it. Spent a small fortune. Back end of 2024 for driver and 3 wood fitting. Please don’t go here expecting to save money. That will not happen. But u won’t be left disappointed
In a way, you will save money by knowing what you got was absolutely right for you

Ran a marathon in 2019 now just eats marathons lol
You know it 😂
This was very interesting and the interplay between you and the fitter both engaging and enlightening. One question though - at the end of the day, did you switch outs of the Paradym Triple Diamond??
Seeing the shot "numbers" from the launch monitor after every swing would be appreciated.
Whats your opinion on mizuno swing dna tool on the shaft which uses your swing data and narrows down a selection of shafts ? Would be good to see the same for driver fitting.
Fair play for running a marathon... I think the only marathon ill finish these days is now called a Snickers !! Interesting Video.. Thanks
The rdx blue in 60g stiff along with cobra ltdx ls 8 degree turned up to 9 would be perfect for you
If you went to the auto flex into a Lower loft like 8 degree tsr3 it might have been perfect and about 10 yards longer than everything else
WOW I'd love to get a fitting
All the best for the new year firstly. So why doesn't manufacturers pure their shafts before sending them for dispatch.

Been giving it to poor ol' Gaz over his driver shaft , has he been winning more of your side bets? So it's a new shaft and watch out Gaz 😂
Do you have to get a shaft upgrade or do they have the stock shafts also ?
Oh my word i could spend a week there just marvelling at all them £300 bad boys
I had no idea that Morrissey was doing club fittings now?! Sweet!
The hzrdus shaft you're using, is it a stiff or x-stiff?
No mention of swing weight, shaft length, grip thickness , loft or changing the weight settings????
Chris great observation, limited time with James for this video as we typically have 90mins minimum for a driver. We air compress grips and swing weight everything when time allowed but this was a pure shaft fitting same head to max out potential
Go on LP 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks buddy, you need to drop in sometime 🤙🏼
Interesting how he didnt talk about grip or swing weight
Thanks Dan, we do but this was a video to cover shaft and profile not our full fitting which takes around 90mins. Best to check it out yourself
@@user-gj3kt3cl3u Thats fair enough, Maybe worth mentioning in the videos as people will judge it as a fitting and perhaps think its not as in depth, thanks for the reply! Would be great to see a video comparing a pured shaft to a standard one and make it a blind test.
I’m surprised after gaz fitting you didn’t use his guy
What are the specs on the shaft you got? weight flex torque etc
Gary Martin has already done this one James.
Question is... are you putting in the the Paradym or are you going back to the Titleist TSR Driver?? 😋😋
Very surprised you never tried the Ventus TR range, most played driver shaft on tour 🤷♂️
Did he get you set in d0 to d1 with autoflex that’s what makes the difference I was told
You sticking with TSR3 now?.😂 Watching the ball tracker, it actually looked like the Autoflex was very consistent, you just needed to turn the loft on the head down a bit to reduce some of the spin. Go back and do it again.... good fun 😂😂
Not a clue this was there, it's less than a mile from home! My local driving range, but haven't played for ages so not kept up to date. No excuses now re kit if I make a comeback..
Great video but i have a question, what level of golfer do you need to be to have a fitting like this, im cutrent a 16 handicap and i hit my driver ok, but i think i put at least 5 or 6 different swings per round with it, how can a fitter improve my game if you swing different every other time.

Precision golf west byfleet been doing this type of fitting for years highly recommended for all golfers 👍
Simon and James are a great bunch of guys and amazing at what they do 🙌. Ours is the same just outdoors 👍
Great video, always love to see a proper fitter help someone max out their potential. Looking at your tracers, "seemed" like the Autoflex was the most consistent?
You was going to talk price james how much for fitting how much shaft etc
I would have loved to see the TSR3 results
So which shaft did you go for? Happy new year James to you and your family ❤❤
So what did you finally wind up with and will it be "In The Bag"?
Great content
Great video, I wish I had went this way, instead I bought 10 different shafts to find my best. :(
Always happy to help if you need, take them to one of our locations and we can help and advise the best for you 👍
I wish, I live in the US.@@user-gj3kt3cl3u
I'm loving the video but I'm confused/curious what head you were using when trying the different shafts? Your paradym or the one they recommend??
He stuck with TSR3 head for all those shafts.
Did you try Mitsubishi Vanquish?
Hard to imagine a driver fitting without a Ventus VeloCore....
We have it in the studio but we only when with that was relevant for James 👍
James, was this before, after or with Gary? Answered while watching, Gary was having the iron shafts checked, graphite on the way. The shaft of choice at the fitting, really delivered, but will it enter the bag in the not too distant future James?
At the Autoflex … when spin and Launch are higher, you Must take off loft and the weight on the back of your Driver. This has not been professional fitting but a nice trying around by using quite some shafts 😅. Thank you anyway ❤
Looks like Pro V1 balls are being used?
Do they have every shaft with the appropriate manufacturer’s tip or a universal tip (like All-Fit)? I think a lot of people that tinker would be interested in using a universal tip if a suitable one is available.
Yes we have a system that allows all shafts in all heads
James did you switch to a TSR head also?
This is my local course!
Shortened my driver a lot, 70grams , 6.0 low spin cobra speed line 9.0 standard draw 14 grams on the back ❤
I was so interested in this as I’ve always had a keen interest in golf equipment/fitting and the tech side of the business. Unfortunately, James, you constantly interrupted the fitter.

He was so polite and fascinating- shame your inability to listen, stopped us from hearing the full analysis.

Nailed it. He lets his ego take over!
Problem with alot of ppl, me included, is not having a consistent swing. What might work best for a certain swing speed at the beginning of the round may not be as good when you've been playing for 4 hours and just want to get home.
You have to become famous! 💕
So Gary was right then
Gary didn't just change the shaft. He got his swing weight dialed in, too. I didn't see any checking or tinkering with the swing weight directly in this video.
Curious to know what adapter they are using to fit each head.
We have a universal adapter so we can put everything into everything it’s the best way to compare heads and shafts
So where is this place? Sorry couldn’t find any link in the description.
I may have missed this. Did they mention the price of any of the shafts?
Funny there is so much about puring the shaft. I've seen three videos on CZcams where pros can't tell the difference or determine which is pured and which isn't.
I spy with my little eye the mizuno stg fairway woods in the top corner.... the best 3 wood I've ever hit.
How much on a average do the shafts costs , it would of been good if you discussed prices in the vid
Surprise no Ventus Velocore.
Available just not appropriate 👍
always supprised that fitters never try different grip sizes to see if that makes a differance great look into a proper fitting
I did with Gary Martin’s Fitting👍
We do offer that and look at that in a full fitting. This was to find the right shaft in 30mins so time was limited
What shaft was the winner?
Why did you not try to change the weights and the loft in the triple diamond?? It was clearly setup for low spin bombs!!!
Could have been an option but we were testing shafts for maxing out. Current set up could have given improved results on set up but we did talk about the later stages of the round and wanting to work the ball a bit more
‘Every shaft in here has been pured’ fitter later states ‘You can’t pure this shaft’ when referring to the TPT!
Hmmm so why has it got a Pured sticker on all the TPT range? Hope you aren’t misleading customers into charging them £30 for it to be pured when it can’t be or is not required!
Anyway, still looks a top class set up but chubs will have a new driver/shaft combo in a few months again! Leopard never changes its spots!
