The Tie Podcast: Talking Golf Architecture For Normal People

I enjoyed chatting with Henry Shimp on an array of topics related to the 2023 Masters, my new book and even food. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or here:

AskMyGolfSpy Vol. 30 

This is our 30th edition of #AskMyGolfSpy. That feels like some sort of milestone. 

Anyway, AskMyGolfSpy is an opportunity to submit questions to our experts here at MGS. You can pass along your questions to the team on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or right here in the comments section below! 

Q: At what stage in your golf game should you start considering being fit for clubs? -FishookTX

As soon as one decides golf is worth pursuing with any regularity, it makes sense to get fitted. I understand basic arguments around being too inconsistent but it’s important to recognize that one of the goals of club fitting should be to deliver more consistent results. 

I’m not suggesting new golfers should blow $350 on a Ventus upgrade but really basic stuff like dialing in the appropriate length, lie angles and shaft weight can lead to improvement. 

Q: There is a recent claim by a Twitter person (highly respected coach) that face flex irons are bad for your consistency if your 7i club speed is over 75mph. Do you believe there is any truth to that? – LesStotler

I saw the tweet and I think I understand the larger point he was trying to make. My interpretation is that higher speed players don’t need to chase distance with their irons but instead should focus more on control (which is often a byproduct of spin).

Wedge Fitting 101 – Where to Start

“How do I find the right wedges?” 

It’s a question we get asked a lot. 

The simple (probably too simple) answer is to get fitted.
