00:00Okay, so Charlie, we've got your full bag of clubs here. We're going to take everyone
00:03at home through what's in your bag and why. So let's start with the wedges.
00:11So you've got a 60 degree, 54, 50 degree. Is that the same set up you've had for a long time?
00:16Yeah, pretty much. It's just enough gaps and all the different, you know, the wedges to
00:20play different shots with in my shot game. You've obviously got the new MG4 there in the 60.
00:24How are you finding that one? I really like it. I put it in the bag at US Open and it really
00:27helped a lot on the greens. So it was in straight away. It's good signs.
00:30Yeah. Yeah, I mean obviously I've worked with you a little bit now and obviously,
00:35you know, be a common theme through the bag is that you haven't really changed too much.
00:38You like what you like and we keep things fairly kind of simple and year on year.
00:43Moving on into the irons.
00:48So something that's quite unusual I would say for an LPGA player as you're playing blades.
00:52So we've got the 50 degree straight into pitch and wedge P7MB right through to the four right
00:57there. So like I say, that's quite unusual I'd say for an LPGA player. Not any more that I know
01:02that play a set of blades through the bag and obviously into the shafts. Again, 125 grams is
01:07pretty heavy but something that you got used to and you like.
01:10I've always played blades since I was a kid. Like my first set of clubs was blades and I've always
01:14never ever not played anything other than them. I used to play tailor-made clubs with the blades
01:20back 10-15 years ago when I was nine, 10 years old.
01:23For everyone at home, like how far would you say you hit the four right?
01:26190.
01:27190 and then you're moving up into a hybrid.
01:29Carry like 208.
01:30208. So you've got an 18 yard gap there. Pretty standard once you get up this end of the bag.
01:35And then my three would be my 230 to 235.
01:38Okay, good. And then do you know how far would be an average carry? I know it depends on conditions.
01:43255, 250.
01:44255. So you've got a pretty good spread there. And are you good at like say manipulating the yardages?
01:49So you've got an in-between and you've got a 220. Would you be hitting a hard hybrid or a soft?
01:53Depends on kind of what's around the green but sometimes I'll hit like a firm drawy rescue or
01:58I'll just hit like a nice little feathery fadey three with him.
02:05So yeah, let's go up to the driver. So stealth two driver, eight degree. Again,
02:09very unusual for an LPGA player to play quite a low lofted driver like that. Talk us through the
02:14driver and why you like that setup.
02:15I don't really like it too spinny and anything more loft. It was getting a bit spinny. So
02:19that was better for me. And I've always had this shaft probably for like 10 years now and I don't
02:23make it no more. So I've got to be careful. I don't snap any clubs. Everything here to me looks like
02:28it's geared towards low spin. And then you're moving on from that, you're in the TP5X, right,
02:32which is the low spin golf ball. So everything seems to me about keeping the ball flight down.
02:36Oh, 100%. Yeah.
02:41So yeah, that's the golf ball. And then putter, TP Soto putter. Pretty traditional.
02:47Yeah, I like a traditional putter. Obviously, I was brought up playing a Scotty Cameron putter,
02:53but then you guys come with me to this and I really, really liked it and I like putting with it.
02:58And again, this is what, in about two and a half, three years with this one now?
03:01Yeah, it's been two and a half years, yeah. So the common theme here is really not much
03:05changes. You try and change as little as possible because you like what you like and you know what
03:09you know. Yeah. I'm quite a traditional player, I think. That's, we've basically gone through your
03:13bag there. TP5X golf ball, Soto putter, MG4 and MG3 wedges there, P7 MB irons, and then a little bit
03:22of a mix up in the woods. Stealth 2 driver, 8 degree.
