 Okay, thank you for joining the average golfer. It's a bit wet. It's not the best day to be out there playing golf in the UK right now. So we may have just a few more of these kind of videos coming your way over the next few weeks through the winter months at least. And yeah, stay tuned and stick with me. But yeah, interesting debate this one. I hear a few whispers about what might be coming out early part next year for a major manufacturers. Not exactly what, but when some release dates might be coming. And straight away I got to thinking, what is going to happen during 2019? What are we perhaps going to see? Been changes in the last year, minor changes. Some of them you may just call kind of a bit of markers in blurb, repackage renamed. We're going to talk about some of them in a minute to see whether or not they're still going to be around in 2019. That's one of the interesting things we'll see. But I want to talk about the possibilities of what we've seen this year, how it will perhaps follow on into 2019. Will there be some major change on what, if anything, it's going to make you reconsider changing your set of clubs again when the 2019 new release has come out. So we're going to start with the irons. And the one thing that's gone on over the last two years is the strengthening of lofts. It upsets a lot of people. So we've got seven irons now that I've got number seven on the bottom of them. But what is the strongest I've seen? Maybe 28 degrees is it? I know that some of the pink stuff was a power spec option. I think we're going to write down some of the M2 irons. Versing everybody's range, there was a 28 degree or there or there about seven iron. Are we going to see lofts strengthened even further? Will there be a seven iron on the market next year that is even stronger lofted than 28 degrees? That's an interesting one. And like I said, it will cause a massive debate out there if they do. One thing that's possibly already happened in a release that I reviewed in the last week or two, it's not actually hitting the market until, I think it's March next year, which is the Callaway Big Berther irons. And that is producing a smaller, more compact, excuse me, supergrain improvements iron. And I think that's something that we might see happen quite a bit of in the new releases that come during 2019 from all the major manufacturers because it just seems to be that they've got this capability at the moment to be able to make everything just a little bit smaller but still packed with all the forgiveness that you would expect in a performance from a super game improvement iron as they're called. And like I said, already in that first test that we did of the Callaway Big Berther irons, that was visible. So they'd improve things like sound and feel. They improved the actual thinned out that top line. Overall profile of the club had gotten smaller, but Callaway themselves still turned it a super game improvement iron. And I think that's something that will happen from all the major manufacturers into 2019. No matter which iron set you're looking at, whether it be from blades through to super game improvement irons, will again, I can see this, the whole focus being increased MOI, looking at a greater focus on dispersion, which again, manufacturers seem to switch off the whole debate about length, although arguably 28 degrees seven irons is slightly contradicting that. But there was a lot of contradiction in the drivers in particular on concentrating on dispersion numbers. And I think an increased MOI, best performing driver in terms of MOI, measured MOI was from the Pingji 400 Max last year. And again, will that number be pushed even higher and will it be able to increase that? Is that something that particularly in the drivers maybe that is going to be focused on? I think another big thing that could happen next year again is shaft technology. Again, lots of changes. I know that even the offering from the traditional brand, the tight list then for mainstream offerings of the shaft type that they offered at least in the TS range has changed significantly to what other manufacturers are offering. But I think there should could be, we could see some changes in. There's a lot of things going on in shaft technology right now. And again, I think there could be some major changes and improvements in terms of shaft technology next year. That'll be interesting to see what happens. And talking of shafts, I mean, I personally think, again, this is something that I've looked at only in recent weeks, is a more visible, more, a greater offering and a standard offering with no upcharges, I don't think as well. I think this is going to change. Have graphite shafts available in irons as I think you'll see more of that. The success of that, in particular, the UST recoil shaft which was made available in quite a number of sets last year. I think the fact that they've got it good in the fact that there's still a stigma attached with the graphite iron. And I think the fact that it's effectively a chrome finish on it looks like effectively a steel shaft, but is obviously, is graphite. I think the success of that shaft, well, there's like the 10 size shaft which I tested recently in some iron testing. I've got a feeling that you may see a lot more people switching towards graphite shafts in 2019. That's another one that I think may happen. I think we're going to see all kinds of, we've seen new materials in the last year, maybe 18 months bore on chrome alloy, graphene, all these things were introduced. I mean, graphite even into the Callaway Chrome soft golf ball. So I think, again, you might see some new materials introduced into the clubs next year. Also, I think it could be the year of the one length iron. Bryson Dechambeau has obviously shown their worth. He's performed admirably with them. And I do think that on the back of this is where players' success then translates back into influencing purchase. Even at four golf where I do the testing, four golf chester, there's definitely been an increase in inquiries. I don't know their sales rate, but I know there's been interest straight away increased in the King Cobra one length irons. And I think it'd be interesting if just the new driver, which I've not tried and irons of the people I have seen who've tried and give absolute rave reviews. And I think that that coupled with, if that is as good as they're saying it is, and coupled with this option of one length irons, I've got a feeling we might see, it might be the year of the one length and Cobra could do some damage there in terms of sales. I mean, in terms of all the products, I mean, are we going to see the big one from TaylorMade last year was TwistFace? Mixed reception in terms of the, how people perceived the technology. I think they did very well in terms of selling the product, but there was a mixed reaction in terms of TwistFace itself. So again, is that something to be interesting to see if TaylorMade carry that on into the drives of 2019? And I almost feel like they've got to in a way because obviously having so much sort of emphasis behind the new technology, the way in which the face would operate, then for them to go backwards on that and not include it in the 2019 range would be, yeah, they'd have to explain that one a little bit. So I'm expecting to see that still in the TaylorMade 2019 range. I think then you've got things like jailbreak technology, which has appeared in, jailbreak obviously is the Callaway's explanation as to what they've got packed into their, without going into the detail of that, but we all know what jailbreak is by now, is that going to carry on into the evolution of the irons and whatever else from Woods and whatever else from Callaway next year, that will be an interesting one. And then finally, because I'm more interested in your opinion on this one, I'm not going to go on too long because it's a very straightforward debate. I want your opinions on what you think might happen. And at the end of it really is anything going to persuade you what it takes to persuade you to make a change, but the final thing is, and an interesting one this year, maybe towards the latter part of the year even, was the price of clubs. The price of clubs, everybody picked up on it. They seem to have really pushed forward in terms of standard pricing. I mean, the big birther irons that I referred to that come out in 2019, I think they're 1300 pounds, UK sterling 1300, steel 1400 graphite. And that's pretty much, I mean, as the P760s came out, that's kind of money. Everybody who released clubs would seem to be around the thousand pound mark for a set of irons. So that really raised the bar. And I just wonder how that's going to pan out into 2019. That's another big one for me. Drivers all went above the major brands all went above 400 pound mark in terms of first release. And again, now is that the standard? Is that what it's going to be for irons? I can't see them going backwards. It very rarely does. Will they bring out a sort of a more, I mean, I think Callaway tried to do it with the XR driver, didn't they? And try and just give that something into a little bit of a different price bracket. We shall see. But that's it. That's the thoughts on 2019 from my perspective. If I've missed anything then please do make sure you mention it in the comments as ever. It's your opinion that I really want. So what do you think's going to happen in terms of technology for next year? What are they going to spin on us? What are we going to be looking at in terms of these major brands? What are they going to tell us? Will it improve your game? Will it make you change? That's what I want to know. So yeah, comments down below. I'll speak to you soon. And like I said, it might be very soon because we might be having a few more of these debates in the coming weeks unless it stops raining out here in the UK.
