Once a humble coach from Manchester and sidekick to Rick Shiels, Peter Finch has become one of the biggest names in YouTube Golf in his own right. Known for his playing ability and amassing nearly 800k subscribers, Finch has competed in the PGA Tour Creator Classic, YouTube’s Internet Invitational and even made it through to Final Open Qualifying earlier this year.

Despite having previously reviewed and compared the latest golf clubs, Pete signed a contract with Titleist at the start of 2025 which unlocked a wealth of content opportunities, including collaborations with high-profile tour players including Ludvig Aberg, Bob MacIntye and Viktor Hovland.

“It’s a little bit shorter as well,” Finch says. “I was swinging hard enough and hitting the ball far enough that I just wanted a tiny bit more control.

“But with a slightly heavy shaft, slightly shorter shaft, it’s almost just reminding myself that I don’t need to swing too hard.”

Finch used to hit a fade on most holes but has been partial to a draw more recently having switched into Titleist equipment and the GT3, widely regarded as one of the best Titlest drivers ever made.

“I’ve been trying to draw it a lot more this year, so I was always a fade ball flight pretty much all my life. And then this year, switched to something a little bit more shallow. I just wanted to see a draw because I couldn’t really hit a draw that consistently.

“If you look at some of the best drivers in the world, your Rorys and your Brysons, and so on. The longest drivers will generally still draw it.”

“I looked at my stats last season, and I’m pretty sure it was only five times that I hit my three wood,” Finch explains.

“This GT280 has been my favorite club this year. It’s just so good. It’s a great option off the tee, and I can still hit it off the fairway. It goes about 270 yards carry but I can get a little bit more out of it if I want to, and I can also kinda hit this beautiful little 250-yard cut as well.”

“There’s there’s very few clubs in the bag, which I I could tinker with and I could change, but that’s not going anywhere.”

Titleist T150 irons in 4-PW with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts, which we recently put in our Mount Rushmore of golf components.

“If you’re playing with slightly stronger lofts than what is deemed conventional, the worry is you’re going to have a lack of spin. But for me, when I tested these, and against just a normal T00 iron the numbers were very similar.

“So I was like, why don’t I just play something which is probably a little bit more forgiving as well? So I netted out on these.”

Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges in 49° in 10F, 54° in 14F and 60°, the latter having a raw finish versus the chrome on this other wedges.

“They just gave me a raw in the 60,° and I was kinda like, yeah I like the look of it.”

2025 Titleist Pro V1 as his ball of choice.

“I like the softer feel, just a bit more distance versus Pro V1x ball for me and a slightly lower flight. When I get the Pro V1x, I can I can smash it, but I hit the ball a lot higher this year, and the X was just a bit a bit too much. With Pro V1, I can just control a little bit more.”

Align Max grips on all his club, including his wedges.

“So I started to use them this year. I used a putter grip which had a really heavy ridge on the back and I just like the way that it felt. I like the fact that I could it felt like I could square the club up a lot easier.”

“Then I tried a few of the Align Max clubs, and they were really good as well. I just felt quite comfortable. So it’s just more of a feeling, and I think going into next season, I’m gonna use it a little bit more.”
