 Right, we are back down at Cardin Park. Fairly gloomy day but someone is here that will brighten it up. I have brought the Yorkshire weather with me. You certainly have mate. How are you? What are we going to do? We're going to do it now! Got it? That's almost illegal. What we're going to do this morning is a really interesting video which is James Robertson's top five products of 2022. And I'm also going to guess what those five products are. Have you wrote your guesses down? I will reveal that at the very end. Right, got you. Right, so we're going to do this as very much five down to one and we'll start off with, well number five. Is there an order? There's no order. There's no order. I can probably think of an order but it'll take me a while. No, no. There's no order. The first thing Andy, I never told you but I went to the Masters. It isn't the head cover. This is probably the number, not quite the number one. And similar to one of the clubs that you did on my channel, it's not exactly brand new. Shall I hit it first? Yes, hit it first then we'll do the reveal. So the big thing for me here, I love Versatile Golf Clubs. I love being able to pick a trajectory, a ball flight, a window if you will. And this, for me, I've got a broken tee peg here Andy. Oh look at that. I'm going to use a full one. I can't look down because I'm not going to reveal the club. So keeping this on the wraps. As well as being heavily Versatile, I love the sound this makes. That might give people a bit of a clue as to what it is. And they are being replaced actually at the end of this year, which I'm slightly worried about. So I'm not sure how they can make them better. But for me, did you get that sound? That's a stinger of a shot as well. Like that's everything that I want out of this kind of club. And the club is Andy. Here we go, big reveal. The Titlist TSI 33 Wood. I've been a huge fan of Titlist fairway woods since I was a junior golfer. I just think that nailed it with this one. I'd never really changed the adjustability on it. I've always kind of left that way. It was a given to you where it is, where it's fitted to. It's in the heel, that weight. And I just have it A1 setting. Jam Pat for the technology. Sounds fantastic. Just a wonderful golf club. They're very much a go-to club for you? Absolutely. If ever I'm struggling with driver, which is most of the time, this is certainly a club that I go to. You can see there. It's gone a long, long way. Yeah, it has gone a long way. And it's a nice low trajectory. It gets quite windy where I play a lot. And generally, we're going to hit the fairway most of the time with it. That's number five. That is. Are you going to have a go? I'm going to have a go now. I'm slightly worried about my selections because... So what are your thoughts on this, Andy? You're tested this, will you? I've tested it. Interesting enough, I don't carry a three-wood. Right. And again, just going back to, I don't know which video is coming out first, but my top five selection had easier to hit options, let's say, at the top end of the bag. So I kind of stay away from them. It's a beautiful looking club. I mean, the one thing about this tight this range, it's stunning to look at. I will tell you what, I haven't hit it for a while either. I can't believe how far your ball has gone, by the way. That's absolutely mild. I'm going to tell you something in a second, Andy, where I wish something was slightly different on it. And I hope it might change on the new ones we've seen being ceded. Well, that was a really bad strike swing from me, sorry. I've leaked that out way to the right. And it's probably why it's not in my... One of the first bad swings we've seen from yesterday, actually. It is. It wasn't a great shot, to be fair. So I'd be hard to judge it on that alone. But I will say for me, like I said, the three woods in particular, in general, slightly more difficult for me to use than obviously the half of you. Very good. The one thing I'd changed, do you remember the three woods of old? I wish it had that fulcrum on it for the centre point. Yeah, yeah. Not the TS. I think they've lost a bit of identity with that. But apart from that, I think it's a wonderful club. I'm going to have another go of it. I can't judge it on that. You can't. To be fair, you'd probably be more TS-I too, would you, maybe, if you wanted to have the ball? Yeah, I would, without a doubt. Yeah, yeah. Love that golf bag as well. That's lovely, isn't it? There's a similar sort of swing, wasn't it? Yeah, sort of a heely strike. Identical ball flight. Very much across it. Right, so James first club out of the way. In general, what has been your thoughts on 2022 in terms of club releases? What do you think? Club releases, I think it's been an interesting year. I think obviously we kicked off with the stealth driver, the rogue ST driver, which I've sort of I'm torn between them because I do enjoy tailor-made drivers. A lot of people think I've got some kind of prejudice towards them or some kind of bias towards them, but I just think they're good. Like, I really enjoy them. I don't think the carbon age is going to be as long as we maybe think it is personally, because it's just not that much different, is there? Like, if it was that much better, you would hit 15 yards further than every other club, but we don't. So I found that interesting. I think the Callaway feels and sounds amazing, but the CUDA marketer, that better with a different name. I think going back to an old name is never really something that people want to see. I think it'd be interesting in terms of tailor-made what they do next year and whether or not carbon faces appear in their hybrids and ferns. I said this yesterday in my stealth, D, as I say, DUI, DHY and UDI videos, because when we first saw TwistFace in the drivers, we were like, well, why on earth isn't that in? And then it came. And it came. So I wonder if that's just a little bit of a... It will be interesting. Right, okay, so first of all, huge of the impress with where James Manning's to get that three word down to on this car for. I'll stop it, Danly, stop it. Carry on. We'll have a look at that in a minute or two, but you say we can actually stop here where you've landed. We can stop here if you promise, one second. This is for, this is for club number two from James. This isn't a club. Promise not to lose this. Hello. This is very special to me. Not your last one. That was my last one. This is the, so for me, I'll let you, oh, hold on. The, is it a tall response? Tall response, but the stripe version. So this is the ball. It's my last one that I had hauling one with. Oh, wow. The Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Golf Day with a couple of my mates. So we've got water on the next dole. Did you trust me to play it off the tee? No, absolutely not. So I'm going to show you something as well. So I was going to include the Kirkland ball in this because I think the Kirkland ball for the value is exceptional. Literally a pound of ball, put it head to head against the proverb you want. Unbelievable. It just, it fights its corner, doesn't it? But I've actually gone for this one because I thought the story behind it, this was a four round from like 220 yards and it was in an actual golf day as well. So it was just a nice feeling. But I had a hauling one with Kirkland with Chris up in Scotland at Archfield Lynx. That was 140 yards of the pitching. So you've had two hauling ones this year. Two hauling ones in two months. And I'll show you so we got it framed because Archfield gave me a lovely flag with hauling one on. And then I got the course planer and the ball. So you can overlay this on now because I'll send it to you. And you're going to get another one today in the match. Maybe. But it's not going to be with this because when I chip this onto the green, we're not going to lose it. Put it away again. And I'm going to put it away again to frame it. Right, let's see the shot from here then. So we are, this is where James's three wood finished. Did you get any yardage or anything or? As to where we've got to go, I mean. No, I'm going to feel it. I reckon it wants to land about 55. Okay. And I'm going to let you play with that one. So I've got, yeah, I mean, we need to be on that hole over there where there's a huge pond. And then that's exactly why we've come so close. Not that you didn't just lose those two balls that you just hit off that tee. We're not going to discuss that. But I'll just hit this one in and then want to see if you can get closer. You mentioned that. I thought we'd agreed we'd forget about that. I didn't film that bit. Right. Yeah. Nicely played. Right, Andy, let's see if you can get inside my shot. I'm putting your wedge back in the bag because I've got, I've got one of my top fives. Okay. I know what this is. Yeah. This is probably the top one, is it? It's the most interesting one. And yeah, it's a chipper. It's a chipper. It appeared in my top five. Probably the weirdest club I've seen from anyone this year. So it's a thing. It's not probably designed for this 55 yards and I've not played many from it, but we'll give it a bit of a go, I think. Nice. Yeah, that's a good effort, that's on the green, you flag high. Yeah, I mean, it's not bad. I mean, the interesting thing is that's a real awkward position 50 yards again for kind of average golfers. And it got there. Now isn't the best, but it got there. The reason why I chose that ball is mainly predominantly foreputting. Okay. So we'll get down there and I'll show you a bit more about it. Right, James. So I've just switched the ball out from where your wedge just landed. This is a birdie, isn't it? That's a birdie, Otmer, yeah. So you said there's something interesting, particularly about the ball with puttin, which... Yeah, I mean, the big thing for me, like, I've worked hard on my puttin because it used to be a massive weakness of my game. But the idea that you can get great feedback from a golf ball like this, there's a few... I don't understand why they've made it green. Like, you put it down almost, you can't see it as well as maybe if they made that stripe red or blue, even a black stripe or something like that. I think knowing tailor-made, they will probably make it... What do they call it? They call it my... Oh, yeah, yeah. That my tailor-made. Yeah, costumisable, yeah. Yeah, so I think eventually they might do that. They did a similar thing with the picks, didn't they? But I find that so easy to line up. So if you've got the right line, that's the first thing. And then I know if I make a good stroke on this... See the feedback on that ball there? So all I've done there is hit it too hard through the break, the ball's finished right behind the hole and on its axis. So you're happy with the strike in other words, yeah? Yeah, I'm happy with the strike. Yeah, it was fine. So almost like a training aid as well as... Yeah, you're learning as you go around. Training, but you're learning as you go around. So if I hit... So say if I hit a bad put towards you now and you focus it on that ball, you'll see that that loses that axis. So then you almost know, right, I've come across that, I've come too far from the inside, I've shut the face, et cetera, et cetera. The next club, for me, the best bit of equipment we both agree on this. Yeah, we do, yeah. Like this has been, for me, an absolute game changer. So stroke lab when it first came out, I thought it looked a little bit gimmicky. I wasn't too sure. And then the more you get the feel of it for long puts especially, like my lag putting has been terrible, but then I sort of match it with this... I'll always call this a number seven. Yeah. Like I'll always call it a number seven shaped head. It's a two long Las Vegas design. It's not anything special. It's off the rack, 35 inches, I believe. But then I went to the Callaway specialist and said, guys, I'm putting exceptionally well with this. I've been hot. I've also... You know, you know Chris, don't you? My mate Chris Davis? Yeah, yeah. I've hold so many puts against him and Gazz. Yeah. Literally, they hate it. Yeah, I've seen so many. They despise it. So I went just go and see... Because it wasn't fitted. I'm a massive believer to go and get fitted for your golf clubs so that you then know there's nothing better out there for you. And randomly, the fitter said, you know what, James? I would fit you into this. The same, right. The same club. Perfect. So whether or not that was a bit of a confidence boost as well, I'm not entirely sure. But I matched that with this and I must become a little bit more just happier. Obviously, that wasn't the best attempt at the birdie putt. But if we... Well, these kind of things, it's all about confidence, isn't it? Absolutely. And it's also, Andy, thinking about your expectations. So me and Chris, Chris is a really good putting coach and we work a lot on tour stats. So say from there, I had what? 12 feet maybe for birdie. So make percentage on tour there would be around 50%. Yeah, I was going to say 40%. Yeah, so why would I expect to stand up on video with you and hold it first time? Wouldn't necessarily happen from here. It's even less. That's a terrible read. I've given you a horrible example there, Andy. But for me, my putting stats have improved massively with this. So that's certainly something which... Yeah, definitely in the bag. Yeah, absolutely. I've been not going anywhere either. No. I change putters more than my pants quite often. Yeah, and to be honest with you, the interesting thing is, again, if you watch my channel a lot, then you'll also know that that's very much the putter in my bag, the exact same putter. And for all the same reason, the feel off the face is unreal. There's a bit of... I don't know whether it was in the previous model, there's a bit of perimeter weighting that's in that, which just, again, for me, just helps with... Well, I suppose forgiveness will certainly square that face up a little bit and it's been really good. What I do need to do is, Chris, when am I getting my putting lesson? Yeah, I offered you one, didn't I? Yeah. Right, that's three down for James. The next up is... Well, we've got a place, asked me to drive into a position with 150 out. So... You know what's not next up? Yeah. This. Yeah, that's going back in the bag. That's going back in the bag. But, obviously, it gives away a little bit of a clue from 150. I'm assuming this is going to be an iron, James. It's just going to be an iron. It's the irons that... I'm not going to mention the Halloween ones, again, because it's game boring, but it's an iron that I was fitted for this year. Let's get an exact yardage on that. I've got 164 playing 166. That's actually a nice number for my 7-Eye, and if there's no wind, I don't think there is. I loved my old Mizuno JPX921 Tores. Loved them to bits. They felt great. They were brilliant. I have tried to change my game a little bit. It's not quite where I wanted, but I feel like it's improving. And the shafts weren't quite right. I had Project Xs in there. I went down to Mizuno when the new stuff got fitted, like we do when we get to test products, and actually moved into the KBS S-Taper. Yeah, so the first kind of... First go out with them, really. I just played really well with them, and it's something which I didn't really want to change the iron makeup in my heads. But the guy's Matt at Mizuno highly recommended that I did, because I was just getting a lot less movement on that golf ball. So let's go straight to this flag. See. Yeah, good strike. Yeah, middle of the green, isn't it? And that's something where perfect yardage as well at their top deck. That's something where with the JPX-921 toss that I was using. Yeah, but hang on just before you review it. So what is that close? It's the Mizuno 223 irons. Okay, stunning. Really, really nice. I think it's just a head and a shaft combo, which for me works great. It's something which I'd probably go as far as saying, go and get fitted. Yeah, absolutely. Like this is something massively for me that generally works. I feel that ball flight you saw there, if I hadn't put a shot trace trying it, which I'm sure he did. Yeah, we did, yeah. That was quite a straight ball flight to the middle of the green. Yeah. A little bit. It's not a flag you're going to miss right by any stretch. Yardage spot on though. Absolutely, yeah. And that's something which with the strike was great. Yeah. But with the old clubs may have turned over a little bit. Okay. Only a couple of yards, but that's enough to miss the green take of our bounce. Yeah. And then duff a few chips and make it double. And does anything feel like a Mizuno? No. No. They are real. I mean, to be honest with you, I just said that I knew these were the irons in James's bag and I come really close to swapping out to them. I wanted to do a mix of HMB's and 223's. And out of the range, to be honest with you, this year the 223's were very much the kind of standout product in... Yeah. There's still a bit of forgiveness in them really, isn't there? 221 and 225, isn't there? With the others, yeah. Yeah. And for me, the 221's tiny. Yeah. And the 225's a little bit too tight. Yeah, yeah. Matt said, do you want to go 225 in the four iron? I was just like, no. Why? Yeah. It just doesn't look the same as the five iron. Yeah, which was the other odd thing they done. And then we had a hole in one of the four irons, so it worked well. I'm sick of hearing about these all the moments. Brandy, are you going to have a go with... Yeah, I'm going to give it a go. In fact, no, I won't use that. I'll... I shouldn't... No. No. It's only a little bit of water. It's 150 carry. Surely you trust me to hit that. I'll tell you what then, yeah, I'm going to give you all hybrid. There you go. Have that back. Right. So, I mean, first of all, I am a big fan of these clubs anyway, from my initial review. I came so close to buying these things. Probably a different shaft than I would use, but what I really love about these clubs is they feel so good. Yeah. Nice middle of the road club, aren't they? Oh, they're beautiful. Great strike. Yeah, just... I think it's probably shaft that's done that. Cut across a little bit. But again, you know, the interesting bit for me was this. Two, two, three. Almost, you know, it's very much a player's eye, definitely off the bottom grooves and still manages to get somewhere down there. Like I said, it wasn't perfect, but that's the, you know, that's the thing that's changed for me in modern irons. Even these kind of things have still got plenty of forgiveness for not so good shots like that. Not quite pin high, that one. Not quite, bud. One thing I was going to say about Sandy as well, is you actually got a urethane cover on it. Yes. So although a lot of the balls where you maybe see this kind of technology on, they don't have the urethane cover. They have... It's not a premium ball or elastomer. Yeah, it's still... I mean, first and foremost, it's got to be a really good performing ball, hasn't it? Yeah, yeah. Right, so we're four down from James's selection. And I can tell you, we're a hundred yards out in terms of his final choice. And I'm going to treat you here, mate. Okay. This is three for the price of what? All right. So I'll show you them all, because people are obviously guessing. This is my wedge set up. Okay. It's the Voki SM9. Now, I've used Voki all my life. I've tried different wedges. I've tried Callaway wedges, Taylor made wedges, even Ping wedges. And nothing for me quite feels as good. I've tried to think the better word than good, but I can't. It's literally, it's simply, they are the best for me. Okay. And I know a lot of people kind of trust these wedges as well. Now, interesting story. I went and got fitted for these, like I recommend everyone should, like I said, about the irons. And I looked at my stats from kind of where I miss greens and stuff. Looked, obviously, when I edit videos like yourself, you see where you miss greens. Whenever I would hit a gap wedge and miss a green, it would be short. So I moved from a 52 in the SMA to a 50 in the SM9. Okay. Because for me, that's just a little bit more long. So what are you counting? 50. 50, 56, set at 55. Okay. And 60. So it's just a five yard gap. Which is quite a nice gap, I think. I love the 56 and the 60. Nice high floaty shots. I can open the 60 up and play it really nice. Get a little bit of stoppage on it. It's versatile enough. So the 60 for me is eight degree bounce M grind. Quite a bad, but I have to look at that, isn't it? But for me, that I can just open that up and it sits nice and flat to the floor. So we've just seen you play a bunker shot there on the previous hole. What would you play from the bunker then? Lobwadge. Try and get the ball up. Land it as close to the flag as you dare with hopefully a good strike. So it's going to have some neutral spin on it and it's going to stop. Okay. And again, there were two decent shots, weren't there? So Chris, my shot game coach, thinks I should bin my 60 and just use a 56 all the time. But then it's my club that I'm comfortable with. So I'm not going to do that. The confidence, yeah. I've got 120 yards here and we're going to try and just not this as close as we can. 50 degree. It's a beautiful strike. Sit. Oh my God, that could go in. That's not a bad representation, is it, that one? To be fair, a great demo when the wedge is full stop. I'm just going to see if we can zoom in on that. That is literally, well, it's probably a gimme from back here. I might even let you knock that in for birdie, Andy. I was like, I love the pressure. In fact, Andy, you can use that ball from there. That's the trust you've got to see in that last seven iron. I've got to say a hugely impressive demonstration of how to play wedges. Those vocies clearly work. He's actually, he's now prepared to give me his ball. You take that next shot with them. Thanks for the trust. I will just hang on. I will, we're going to end it there. That was first of all, come back on, sorry for the shot. Really enjoyed that, mate. Yeah, me too, really fun. Great five clubs. I will put on screen now what my five guesses were. I can tell you, I got two out of five right, yeah. Only because I thought the irons was a, I knew you, I knew you really loved the irons. And I had a feeling that the putter would be in there as well. Because I think that again, watching your videos, you're very keen on those two in particular. Yeah, we share those, don't we? Yeah, we do, yeah. So thank you for watching. No doubt you'll all be aware of James's channel. Get over there. We've got a couple of videos that we're filming each today on each other's channel. So make sure you're joining and watch out. And yeah, we've had what's up next, the match. We're going to swap clubs, aren't we? In fact, that one might already be on. There you go. There you go. Make sure you're keeping an eye out for it. Bye. Bye. See you tomorrow. See you all soon and thanks for watching. Soon, we'll be back tomorrow. Tomorrow's far too late.
