00:00 Okay, so Charlie, we've got your four bag of clubs here.

00:02 We're going to take everyone at home through what's in your bag and why.

00:06 So, let's start with the wedges.

00:08 So, you've got a 60 degree, 54/50 degree.

00:14 Is that the same set-up you've had for a long time?

00:16 Yeah, pretty much. It's just enough gaps in all the different wedges

00:19 to play different shots within my shot game.

00:21 You've obviously got the new MG4 there in the 60.

00:24 How are you finding that one?

00:25 I really like it. I put it in the bag at US Open

00:26 and it really helped a lot on the greens.

00:28 So, it was in straight away.

00:29 -That's good signs. -Yeah.

00:31 Yeah, I mean, obviously, I've worked with you a little bit now

00:34 and obviously, you know, it'd be a common theme through the bag

00:37 is that you haven't really changed too much.

00:38 -You like what you like. -Exactly, yeah.

00:40 And we keep things fairly kind of simple year on year.

00:43 Moving on into the irons.

00:45 So, something that's quite unusual, I would say,

00:49 for an LPGA player is you're playing blades.

00:52 So, we've got the 50 degree straight into pitch and wedge,

00:55 P7MB right through to the 4 right there.

00:57 So, like I say, that's quite unusual, I'd say, for an LPGA player.

01:00 Not any more than I know that play a set of blades through the bag

01:04 and obviously into the shafts.

01:05 Again, 125 grams is pretty heavy,

01:08 but something that you got used to and you like.

01:10 I've always played blades since I was a kid.

01:12 Like, my first set of clubs was blades

01:13 and I've always never ever not played anything other than them.

01:18 I actually played tailor-made clubs with the blades

01:20 back 10, 15 years ago when I was nine, 10 years old.

01:23 For everyone at home, like, how far would you say you hit the 4 right?

01:26 - 190. - 190.

01:27 - And then you're moving up into a hybrid... - Carry that 208.

01:30 208. So, you got 18 yard gap there.

01:33 Pretty standard once you get up this end of the bag.

01:35 And then my 3 would be my 230 to 235.

01:38 OK, good.

01:39 And then do you know how far would be an average carry?

01:41 - I know it depends on conditions. - About 255, 250.

01:44 255. So, you've got a pretty good spread there.

01:46 And are you good at, like, say, manipulating the yardages?

01:49 Say you've got an in-between and you've got a 220.

01:51 - I like to, like... - Would you be hitting a hard hybrid or a soft?

01:53 It depends on kind of what's around the green,

01:55 but sometimes I'll hit, like, a firm drawy rescue

01:57 or I'll just hit, like, a nice little Febreze Fadey through with him.

02:02 So, yeah, let's go up to the driver.

02:06 So, Stealth 2 driver, 8 degree.

02:08 Again, very unusual for an LPGA player to play quite a low lofted driver like that.

02:13 - Yeah. - Talk us through the driver

02:14 - and why you like that setup. - I don't really like it too spinny

02:16 and anything more loft, it always gets a bit spinny.

02:18 So, that was better for me.

02:19 And I've always had this shaft, probably for, like, 10 years now.

02:22 And I don't make it no more, so I've got to be careful.

02:24 I don't snap any clubs.

02:25 Everything here, to me, looks like it's geared towards low spin.

02:29 And then you're moving on from that, you're in the TP5X, right,

02:32 which is the low spin golf ball.

02:33 So, everything seems to me about keeping the ball flight down.

02:36 - Oh, 100%, yeah. - Fine spin.

02:38 So, yeah, that's the golf ball.

02:42 And then putter, TP Soto putter.

02:46 - I really like this... - Pretty traditional.

02:47 Yeah, I like a traditional putter.

02:50 Obviously, I was brought up playing a Scottie Cameron putter,

02:52 but then you guys come with me to this,

02:55 and I really, really liked it, and I like playing with it.

02:58 And again, this is, what, in about two and a half, three years

03:00 - with this one now? - Yeah, yeah.

03:01 - Something like that. - Two and a half years, yeah.

03:03 So, the common theme here is really not much changes.

03:06 You try and change as little as possible

03:07 because you like what you like and you know what you know.

03:09 I'm quite a traditional player, I think.

03:11 That's... We've basically gone through your bag there.

03:13 TP5X golf ball, Soto putter,

03:16 MG4 and MG3 wedges there,

03:19 P7MB irons,

03:20 and then a little bit of a mix-up in the woods.

03:23 Stealth 2 driver, 8-degree.

03:27 (upbeat music)
