On this weeks episode of the Fully Equipped Podcast Johnny Wunder and I talked about using AI chat tools to help figure out what changes they may need to make to their bag.
Johnny started off the experiment asking Google Gemini what lengths he would build a set of TaylorMade irons to compared to his set of Cobra Irons. Gemini responded not with an answer, but with a question.
“What are you trying to accomplish?”
Johnny provided Gemini with a rough outline of what he was trying to accomplish, and then the AI went and pulled his WITB info from Johnny’s Fully Fit article.
“They literally pull the what’s in the bag from GOLF.com from the Fully Fit article.” Johnny said.
From there Gemini continued to ask for more information, and Johnny uploaded swing videos, Trackman fitting reports, and anecdotes of performance. Johnny asked for a tour-style build sheet PDF as it’s final form.
“Just so you know, according to your article you’re looking to mitigate a right miss, you’re working on your swing a bit, and according to your driver fitting video with Adrian Reitveld, I see that you’re looking to aim right and kinda pull it back which is a preferred way you like to hit your ball…”

Gemini added, “I see that you like a bit of offset so I have bent the lofts of the set to match the offset you like to see… I’m actually going to make these a half a degree flat, and add two wraps of tape to the bottom hand to slow face rotation… when you send this off to TaylorMade please ask them to pay special attention to the notes at the top”
Yes. The AI left TaylorMade’s tour build team notes, and asked them to make sure they paid attention. It then continued to dive into further content on the internet including the Battle at the Beach commentary that Johnny provided on the previous episode with Bryan Laroche. This helped Gemini give Johnny some advice on what they thought was already a really good fit with his Vokey set.
“Based on your previous tournament at Battle at the Beach at Hammock Beach, I am assuming the M grind was a little troublesome because of the back ribbon. Other wedge platforms that you could look at and travel with as a second wedge would be Vokey T, Callaway T, and Wedgeworks L.” Gemini stated.
It’s possible that Google Gemini now knows Johnny Wunder better than he knows himself.
We posted a small clip of this on Instagram and some commenters had some good points to make.
@summitgolfnashville mentioned that “the issue with Ai is that it requires truthful input”, which is a big problem for three types of sportsmen: fisherman, hunters and 15 handicaps.
They couldn’t be more correct. Uploading a Trackman report is one thing, but relying on the weekend warrior to input good data could be a problem. I’d also hate to see a world where golfers with bad input end up in fitting bays trying to argue with fitters about what Gemini told them. That’s a very dangerous recipe. There’s already enough “educated” golfers walking into fitting bays as it is. I can’t imagine what will happen once they think Gemini has sorted them out.
