 The first question has got to be, how do you like your egg boiled hard or soft? That bacon egg sandwich was perfect, it was exactly the way I like it, but that doesn't mean to say it's perfect for you. I was going to say it's no use hiding in here. The issue of thing is, it's like reviews, that one person does that review, we watch them massively watch, they're the most viewed content on my platform and there's no doubt it is the most popular type of content in the golf YouTube world. Everybody loves watching product reviews, we're obsessed, but that major fault is that it's one person testing, it's one person's opinion, it's one person set of data and arguably it is nothing like what yours would be. Was this your day off? But there is always one really interesting piece of information for me that does speak volumes for the masses and it's where we can all learn a lot. You see I did a recent review of two products that I was surprised at their performance, it was the Strixon ZX5 and the Strixon ZX7, first of all they've been massively viewed in terms of my channel, but it was a feedback that really interested me and it got me asking this question as to where I am today is that a singer opinion is one thing but an opinion from the masses really starts to tell a tale and there's a way you can find that opinion from the masses if you just take a little bit of time and you can find them in these reviews. You see the thing is what you need to consider when you're watching reviews is the similarities between my swing and yours are well hopefully not that great because nobody wants to swing like mine. Maybe things like swing speed or clubbed speed in relation to ball speed that's something that's quite interesting and to see the performance of things like launch angle and land angles, the spin number that I achieve and again if you've watched kind of the variables within my data over the years then you can certainly learn something from the reviews in terms of how a product is compared to previous tests that maybe I've done and others obviously. But I always say whenever I do a review the real caveat is always like this is these numbers are very subjective they're my numbers with the swing that I add on that day but the point is why did this video shock me so much or two videos in particular and like I said it was a Strixon ZX5 and ZX7. The reason it shocked me was the comment section. When you get comments what you'll normally get is a fairly I'd say biased view in some ways because obviously everybody loves the product they've got in their bag because that's what they bought it makes perfect sense so sometimes if you're critical towards one product that happens to be the product that they have in the bag there might be a little bit offended by that and rightly so but that doesn't mean to say it's any less right for them it goes back to what I said I might find a product not suitable for me but for others it's absolutely perfect that's the way this whole thing works but the ZX5 and ZX7 had a universal response if you look at some of these comments that I throw up for you and when I say some of them these comments are pretty much across the board and that was the shock in that everybody who has tried this range was blown away by it and that's the bit that shocks me the most and the bit that I think that you can learn when you look at the reviews look at the comments look at the comments from the masses have a quick scroll through and just see what the majority of people are saying and I think that way you get a more better cross-section it'll be different handicaps it'll be different people who want different things from their clubs so it goes away from what I've said in the review and that's why I always encourage comments to come in because like I said that's where you can gauge get some great feedback from your fellow golfers and make some better informed choices as to what you might want to go and try because ultimately you've still got to go and try those products yourself on the ZX5 and ZX7 everybody commented on how they felt there was another thing that was thrown in there without doubt this year the people the the hottest irons for me in terms of popularity and positive response have been the Mizuno JPX range which again comes up constantly in the comments and it was that and this Strix and ZX5 and even the people that had tried the Mizuno range nothing feels like a Mizuno I mentioned that in the review again for me the best feeder lines that are out there but that now has changed because the ZX7 in particular for me slightly I preferred it again my preference that smaller profile absolutely butter soft the way these things felt was incredible and like I said that's an overriding comment that you see throughout the the both videos honestly I can't believe I keep seeing the comments come up and they say the same things the people that have tried them have blown away so for me that is the bit where we can learn not from what the individual reviewer says but look at the comments look at comment section and read across section of what your fellow golfers are saying and trust me I've thrown a few examples of those comments up to Dave if you want to go back to the ZX5 and ZX7 reviews take a look through those and you'll see that what I'm saying is that without doubt it's and again that this makes him one thing clear I've got no allegiance alliances with any brand whatsoever and so I ain't promoting the this brand at all but I can assure their response has been incredible right across the board if I told you I lit that fire purely for this video alone it's something like 11 o'clock in the morning no need to light it but I must say I do love a fire that's me done Sid has helped me dispatch of a ton of logs this morning we're all ready we're all ready for the winter and we're all ready for the match at 12 30 today which is live until V Brighton that's next on the agenda right as ever thanks for watching the comments like I said down below are to help you fellow golfers always remember that that's what they're there for they're not to abuse me right see you later how good is that
