Boxing star Josh Kelly is relatively new to golf – but as expected packs good power in his swing. Mizuno’s Matt McIsaac, took a closer look at Josh’s move using Mizuno’s Shaft Optimizer at the Tour Performance Studio. No surprise to learn that Josh’s lightweight shafts weren’t helping his timing – changes were needed.
“Josh has a really strong move through the ball – but he was playing shafts that were far too light and flexible. His equipment was working against him. He’s going to be playing a lot of golf and improving – so needed something that would grow with him. We went with a Nippon Modus 120 S shaft in the irons. They were 25 grams heavier than the shafts in his previous set. The biggest key was upping that weight – which will help Josh time things much better. That’s a trend we went with right through the bag.”
