 So in today's video I managed to get my hands on a full bag of PXG Gen6. I've got the Gen6 O311 P-Ions in the bag along with the Driver O311 Gen6 10.5. I've also got our five wood in there. A seven wood 21 degrees is also in the bag and then making up the bottom end is a five hybrid at 25 degrees, a four hybrid at 22 and then jumping up the other end. I've got two sugar daddy wedges a 54 and a 58. We've also thrown in a one and done mallet style putter and of course we're going to use the new PXG ball. It's nine holes on the Cheshire course at Cardin Park. It's very much winter conditions. This was filmed four or five weeks ago and you can see by the woolly hat it's a little bit chilly still and conditions are as expected. The driver off the first it's that little soft fade that I like to hit very much almost a three quarter swing to get me off that first seat and things underway. Now I've got eight iron in hand I've got 150 and again not the greatest of swings you can see very much still part of the first swings of the day and didn't finish too good to be honest with you. In fact it left a an awkward one to say the least. I chose to play the 54 wedge out of those two. I just wanted to sort of clear the landing area but played it a little bit too flat which meant it had kicked on a little bit further than I'd hoped but it was it was okay because the chip shot technique was a little bit stabby. So one other thing to mention early on in this video is the greens had just been holotined a few days before and yes you guessed it I'm making excuses already for perhaps what is about to come. That's what those golfers do don't we? Anyway I've got the Walund and Putter. My mess is out of the bag while I test these and no excuses it went in we start off with a par and yet again I make an up and down save along my face things otherwise. Right on to the second which is another par four and I say second it's the fifth hole at Cardin Park on the Cheshire very much putting these together as a bit of a hybrid so I don't get in people's way. 408 off the tee you can see a much better turn and there was a big effort to do that after the not so good first tee shot of the day and I think that's half a smile you can see. What I left in was not too dissimilar from the first shot to be honest with you around 150 but uphill into a breeze and gone down to a seven iron. The idea is the flag is tucked away in that left hand side bunker right behind it and you've got a lot of green to the right so I'm trying to get into the sort of front. I mean that's the line and my idea is always the same that if I don't quite get all of the ball which I did on that occasion I should end up okay and rather quick chip shot there but we've managed to knock one up to not a bad distance similar to the first again so don't forget this is for par and yeah not the best of efforts it probably started off on the right line but you can see that it certainly needed hitting so that's one over par. I've not really hit a good shot as yet apart from one single good put however the drive on the last was good and the drive on this was as well really solid got through the ball well happy with where that has ended up and yeah we've now got five wood and this is fairly narrow down this second shot on this par five and to be honest with you it's just a case of getting it down there somewhere and what you'll see now is that you don't want to be too far up because the closer you get to that tree that is effectively right in the middle of the fairway obviously the more awkward things become there's a lot of effort going into sort of having a lot what's wrong with my swing right now and trying to work things out. This is an eight iron again this time sort of full swing looking to get over the tree and that is left of target but what I will say is much happier with that kind of turn through the ball even though I've over done it a little and well I did ask Canada to leave this in because I often get questioned do I replace my divots and obviously the answer is yes I just don't always film that process so there you go keep a few happy. So again not too dissimilar to a shot we had a little while back on the first shot of the day just really looking to clear the bunker and get this thing running we've got a fair bit of green to work with not the most difficult chip shot in the world and executed it I think reasonably well it's difficult to get the pace of the greens no matter how you know we don't want to make excuses but ultimately you know it's it's very difficult to gauge the inconsistencies as you would say between the sort of bounce and what's happening with the rule once the ball lands so we've left ourselves what seems like exactly the same sort of put again to save par and yeah it's just a weak effort in terms of the put but quite a big break and that's two over and all down to the sort of errant third shot really which was probably the easier out of three that I played to get there but there you go right driver out probably the one club that's been apart from the first tee shot has been okay to be honest with you I like what this driver does I really like the shaft that's in it and it fires the ball out a fair old way to be honest with you and happy with that got a leaked it as you can see from I'm in the rough so leaked it out to the right maybe 10 yards further than you want to be um debate on the club on this one obviously got to go over the tree I've got nine ironing hand and sort of dug it out a little bit which probably took a little bit of clubbed speed off of it maybe should have gone up a another club I don't know but that's hindsight and we sort of ended up we grabbed the front bit of the green I also repair pitch marks as well which is um yeah good to see so it's a long old put now a long way from the hole and I don't know from sort of you know what what I was which was 135 138 out this is something that I'm recognizing I'm along I'm too far from the hole um from that kind of situation I was coming from the rough but I suppose you know this is not a birdie opportunity at all this is about trying to get a two put from here and you can see from the length of backswing and follow through that's a fair old hoof and um well it's not a bad effort but it's still got a fair bit of work involved so yet again I'm having to make a real awkward one this is probably six or seven foot it's a push and um for all the moaning and growing that I've no doubt verbally let out there it wasn't the greatest of putts yes it could have fell in and grabbed a piece but it didn't so another bogey I'm afraid now this is horrendous right now because playing at 227 yards par 3 at this time of year means this needs an absolute wallop and that's a five wood which I hit as good as I can best shot of the morning by far and um if I switch the audio in terms of what I'm saying to the camera now I thought that was really close because from I was right behind the hole it looked like it was going really straight at it and as ever when you're 230 yards away that can be deceiving because we're still quite a bit away from the hole depending on what you're watching on now in terms of whether that's your phone or the the tv screen you'll see that holotine green which is definitely um making life a little bit more difficult on the greens than you'd want it to be because pace is the big thing that I've got wrong on pretty much every port from memory I've not really put a ball past the hole as yet um which is not good they're never going to go in but it's an h3 on what is um well that's a really tough par 3 to say the least so it's a par I'm not going to complain at that from that type of hole I believe you'll know this is stroke 1 it plays uh well 473 yards I don't think we were playing that far on the day but it's only a par 4 and obviously in the winter where this ball lands it isn't going to go far and to be honest with you it's a really solid strike the driver is the shining light right now in terms of my performance on the day really happy with that but my face doesn't seem to know it um I left that hybrid in still a long long way this was close to 200 in and uh it's the 4 hybrid these have got tensile blue shaft in uh really performing really well you can see the sort of my trousers there how much wind is blowing it's it's it's a difficult day which you can never quite pick up without the full audio and listening to the sort of breeze and whatever you maybe see a bit in the flag there um but yeah really good really good second shot in this is um almost pin high at the angle we're filming out it's a bit deceptive really um but yeah trust me that's that's pretty much pin high um taking this serious now getting leaves off the bottom of the shoe can I get a port that actually threatens the hole that would be nice it's a good old hoof but the answer is no still can't manage to get the ball up there and um yeah I mean either way I think it's at this time of year where you've really not got to judge your putting you're going to take two things into consideration one the greens are halotined and two the pace and everything else that goes with it so I tend not to be too disheartened by my putting in winter conditions but anyway we move on it was another good par so you want to be the tree on the right hand side I let it go inside that line and that's just leaked out maybe a tad further or because it's not well it's a slight dog leg from right to left we can't see the green from the tea so you don't want to go too that too tight down the left otherwise you can be in trouble certainly when it's um well certainly when there's a few more leaves on the trees and that tree line to the left of me is got a bit more foliage on right I left eight iron in and even though this was filmed four or five weeks ago I can remember this was the best iron that I hit on the day it was uh yeah it was right at it um and again just a moment to hand it behind the camera that it went just a little bit long if anything grabbed a piece on the back end and uh I'm not too sure what I'm looking maybe I'm asking for Hannah to help me read this one but either way there's no one helping your hand get that put near the hole and threaten a birdie for god's sake so this is actually downhill so it's actually one of the quicker puts that we fit on the day I've still not managed to get there which is really frustrating because as you can see I had the line and that just needed a little bit more pace and we might have actually grabbed one but as it stands we make another pass so the run run on pass is increasing so yeah got to be happy with that next up is a par five I generally aim again I want to avoid the left hand side in terms of the tree line you'll see a bunker which is um that my target line really I'm sort of aiming at the bunker and hopefully you want to try and move this ball a little bit from right to left as you can see and it's happened a few times with the driver it tends to be that I'm leaving it just a little bit leaked out to the right and certainly no movement to the left whatsoever on that occasion um I know it was safe but maybe in a month or two's time this will be a lot heavier and you don't really want to be here but um as it stands I've got seven wood which this is the first time I've played the club on the day it's sort of perfect from this situation you want to grab yourself another 180 yards ideally but you've also got to get over that tree so yeah the combination of seven wood was just perfect and this way I go back to do I want to five iron me on there or that seven wood well I know which I'd rather hit right I'm now describing to Hannah there's a gap in the tree um sort of three quarters of the way up and that is my target line with a little bit of left to right that's the plan at least oh my word it's just a pleasure to watch back to be honest with you I absolutely love that shot on the day and um I enjoy watching it back again today however I had to use a fairly lofty club which meant we were never going to get there in terms of distance this is an eight iron a bit of a chip and run hoping again that uh we need to force it a little bit in terms of the softer greens and it just meant it run by a little at this point I've lost all faith in my own ability to read a port and constantly refer to Hannah behind the camera to try and give me some caddy in information and uh I'm not sure I'll blame her she got it wrong I'm now getting frustrated in terms of the uh misputs but there you go that's a bogey on the card um right next up and final hole in terms of the nine that we played this one is just literally straight down bunker on the left hand side you can see uh you obviously you don't want to go to that but you've got a fair bit of room to the right of it so my line is sort of start off on it cut back a little and if you think about the drive in full stop it's been pretty decent to be fair and that was no different it was right in the middle of the fairway with a good bit of distance on it as well and it's about as position a on this golf ball because it can be a bit of a fiddly one if if you go a bit further right obviously you can be blocked out pond on the left hand side fairly narrow green I've only got a pitch in wedgie in hand and uh there's a bit of a anxious weight here because that is going towards the water you can see me a little bit of a lane and a little bit of a well I think a bit of relief really because it just held on and again thank god it was a bit wet on the foot because in the summer months that's basically in the reeds and in the pond so chipping run up the green um yeah fairly happy with that to be honest with you it's executed as intended you could argue like I said maybe um a little bit more required but again that's the debate I've had throughout this whole video really is just trying to get good in and around the greens whether that be the piece of the port or the chips into them it's been really really difficult but um we've got this to make a par and there's been a lot of kind of I don't know my sort of greens in reg but I don't think it's been fantastic and this has meant that I've had a lot of singular puts to try and save par and we all know well that's not good you're never going to make score doing that but can we finish off as we started with a good put the answer is no it was a terrible effort and we walk off with another bogey right that was me with a full bag of pxg gen six I've got to say to be fair to the clubs themselves the driver performed incredibly well the hybrid fairway woods again really really impressed with what they did on the day and as you know with the irons I've been playing them for some time so nothing new there I think from the potter's perspective just something very different in your hand that I'm not used to and that's very hard to switch up and in between different putters and the mess will be returning back to its rightful place very soon right as ever I hope you enjoyed them ones are a little bit different sort of a break from the norm let me know your thoughts on my performance don't be too brutal and I will see you all tomorrow night thanks for watching
