It'd be really interesting to do the sort of test as a blind test what. So you went to a non-goal like yeah i'll be good actually get non-golfer. And go which sets newer [Music] i've come up with a theory okay. And it's taken me 30 years well 20 years of goal forever 28 years of golf to finally find this out new golf clubs don't make it play better shut up seriously so quick quick little um tale for you rick which you you kind of know but i'll show the listeners who are those who were ingested. But i recently got some new irons he did the titleist t100s the new ones i think are out obviously now got fitted. For them and the objective the goal was this they're going to replace the t100 from last year there was nothing wrong with them. But i thought why not fancy new set of irons i don't like them and they don't work in my hands as well as my old ones and you've got proper fittings and also actually what's the range of the day as it stands i've got three sets of irons i've got a set of nike pro combo from 2015. i've got a set of titles t-100s from last year and i've got this new set of t-100s that i've already just launched took all three seven into the range and hit quite a lot of balls i've done this process about three or four times now so we've got a bag with three seven irons in it and honestly i could easily go back to nike's like that really the only way i've not they launched a bit higher but the t100 staying in the bag 200s aren't going to make it unfortunately are the nikes launching higher because the weaker lofted bit older no the same loft as the um the t100 the middle the middle set the 200 the normal ones the nike have its undercut cavity filled with resins through zanza at launch higher they're a bit chunkier as well they're a nice iron. But i know we've said this before we kind of joke about it. But i like having new shiny stuff certainly like when i had a lot of nike gear and it was discontinued i felt like i wanted stuff that was current it doesn't make any difference to your game does it. But i felt like i wanted it but honestly i was desperate. For these new ones in the bag these new 200s it looks so much nicer a bit more like saturn i just can't get them to work but yet i still want to use them and the marketing behind you stuff is. So good like how do brands do it i know they're clever aren't they it's a bit like car manufacturers i always think when a car manufacturer brings out a new car it's not going to go any fast you can tweet the performance obviously. But sometimes someone's at my door that's a delivery um something like that actually some taylormade stuff come in have a look let me stay live on video just yeah i got rick's now live on his uh what's it called the app again ring ring video doorbell thanks to the uh wonderful guys at ring who fits me on brought to you by roots. And not dude adverts these are free doorbells is it is it is it clubs is clubs is it i know it's not it's the tyler some clubs have arrived though have they. So i'm watching the live now the tyler's coming in the house who's finishing off our bathroom sounds like a dodgy maybe this and i hope he's not irish and uh when my wife opened the door i can actually see two boxes of golf clubs nice glitchy brands no no um. So where was i going with this new clothes about like i just think i i just think the clever the way that the the fashions change like like you can't imagine. And you look at it now like have you noticed all these like leeds festival and reading festivals they look like they've stepped back in the 90s yes 100 yeah like it's all bucket hearts it's like really retro stuff like some of the cool kids that are here have that kind of clothing on as well like. And when we went to sent andrews and we spoke about it recently all the yeah. And that's fashion again now yeah fashion's come around. And i think golf clubs will see a little bit of that as well like if if ping brought out a really really old-school style of i2 irons which actually did live with that wedge yeah they did remember yeah like that catches people's attention again. And it's that but with a modern twist it's modern text it's and again going back to like i remember when the first taylormade irons came out when the the font of the bottom changed. And i kind of weirdly slacked them off in my review now i have a set of taylormade irons in the back i don't even think about the font that doesn't offend me it looks modern it looks cool. So um i just think fashions go around i think trends come. And go this new stuff makes all stuff look old so my 200 normal set i like a kind of shiny crow the new one's satin and because i know my mind now the new ones are satin the chrome shiny look old it'd be really interesting to do the sort of test as a blind test what. So you went to a non-goal like yeah that'll be good actually get non-golfer. And go which sets newer you show them a brand new seven iron from like 10 years yeah. And tell them to put it in date order only if they could about that no no way. But we're interested so yeah hopefully uh you i mean you don't play golf anymore dear you know what i do recently a lot of driving range sessions i haven't played natural round of golf. For a little while but i love going to the range. And because it's a bit of a snowball effect because i'm going to the range quite a bit i'm hitting actually quite good. And then.
By going to the inside it quite could have enjoyed it. So i want to go back again more soon sooner than i would have done before i reckon i'm going twice a week at the minute wow i um in fact i think this could be a good talking point i took it you.
