Worked my 🍑 off for this to be a career, I wouldn't say it was something our careers advisor had in mind back in high school 🤣 I know it's cliche but honestly I just love golf and always wanted to be a part of it and when I couldn't do the whole playing deal well tour and either coaching or fitting was gonna be the next goal. The fitting came first, that's the route I took. As for the social platform and what this has become that was all seeing a change in the market and exposing what I've done for the last two decades. Again a cliche and not wanting to tell you what you already know but this was just year on year, work on work and then we ended up here. Kinda cool and certainly enjoying the process..... for now 🤠
@@trottiegolf yeah, my advisor would have never mentioned this. I've built some of my own clubs, do my own regripping and make adjustments to my woods based on my current game. Technically, this would have been something I feel I would have been good at. Love these videos, they've re-peaked my interest in club fitting. I'm going to get back into building for myself. Appreciate you Trottie!
Trottie is one of the exceptions of those that gave up their playing dreams, made it through the club grind, still has the passion and is now financially compensated for his passion.
The best analogy I’ve heard about heavier vs lighter is a 10 speed bike. If it’s set on 1 you can pedal it faster but it doesn’t necessarily go faster than if you have the resistance set at 10. Love all your stuff Trottie
That “hover” tip in the beginning of this video is golden. I noticed I hit the ball longer with more control when I hover my driver off the ground. I’m new to golf so it’s all a learning curve but when I hover, I make better contact and it feels smooth
My dream would be to have a full fitting with Trottie and then being allowed to build the club set with Trottie teaching me how to build them. As an aspiring club maker/repairer, his videos are awesome
I didn't no about lie angel on the driver and ive never had a fitter check it but changing my setting to get the driver sitting flater is a game changer in conference
Awesome video!!! If you wanted the LS head, but wanted a draw or to take the right side out of play, how would you handle that? Lower loft cranked up 2 notches?
@@trottiegolf his previous fittings I revisit quite often, great job trottie, I suspect there is more coming with Al soon? When you see him, tell him I think he has the nastiest ballflight I've ever seen and that he is a bit of a man-rocket as well!
Are the different weights for the slider etc available? I was told by the online customer service TM rep I could only get two choices for the rear weight for the Qi LS head? If I remember correct, only had + and - 2 from stock...
Sorry I don't know. I know there are options on tour and I believe when you go through a club fitting they set you up with the correct weight for the build
I’m coming to Carlsbad this weekend, I have 185-190 ball speed with the stealth 2. Would love to have you take a look if you are around! A guy can dream…🙏🏻
Micah up there, done a small amount with Bryson but he wasn't what he is now. Alvaro Quiros was quick in his youth but never really got off tour so Rory, Dustin, Brooks, Rahm. All the ones you would think of & of course John Daly but he was a fraction past his quickest when I got to do stuff with him. Still Mega though
- Wedges a fraction heavier - I like slightly heavier drivers if the PLYR can handle it - Consistency through the irons for sure - Putter there are a few different opinions there so no a direct answer on that one
Trottie , if you do the same with a good player with a slower swing speed. What would it do ? From a good fitting to a Trottie fitting ? I’m searching for the shaft that matches my swing and it is a rough road 🤔
Great video as always! Can you make a video for those of us at home to learn how to measure swing weight with minimal equipment. I’m a high swing speed competitive player but recently out of college so I do not have the money to go out to a club champion etc to have them play with that.
How much is a swing weight device? That could be a good one time solution? No real way to mock up the process you need to get on the scales and go through it
Its easier to drive a nail with a bigger hammer. Same with a golf ball. Efficiency is going to be better with a heavier (hammer) swing weight as long as you can reasonably handle it.
How does an average low handicap guy get a fitting like this? If you’re somebody that actually has higher swing speed, shoots low single digits and could actually benefit from this, other than spending an insane amount of money assuming thousands of dollars to come out there is there a way to get fitted even close to the level? I would kill to go through this.

@@dustingariepy2056 top man Dustin, I'm here if you have any questions.
Good luck PLYR

@@HighSpinSwingSpeed appreciate the comment fella. Obv we all wanna play but the game has so many layers. Amazing sport, amazing game
As a golf nerd I absolutely love these fitting videos especially with high swing speed players
Trottie and Almigos??!!! This is awesome. Can’t wait for the iron fitting.
Al's a top fella
Al and Trottie’s the best. More of Al and Trottie. Do it 🥃
The best analogy I’ve heard about heavier vs lighter is a 10 speed bike. If it’s set on 1 you can pedal it faster but it doesn’t necessarily go faster than if you have the resistance set at 10. Love all your stuff Trottie
Yea like that..... still like my " junk in the trunk " chat an all
That finish position!!!! So balanced...another great fit!
He's quality, gotta get the irons on here
@@trottiegolf can't wait!!!
That was fantastic to watch how Trottie did 95% of the work in the shop and the results were awesome .
All about the set up with top PLYR's
I’m not a fitter but I appreciate how Trottie is always dropping fitting nugget tips
All good info for PLYR's, Coaches, all
Love Al being on the channel. You can tell your boys chemistry is fire 🔥
He's into me for sure 😂
@@trottiegolf 🤣🤣
Really enjoyed this Trottie! Great banter and tech! Learned a thing or two here!
The sound when he swings driver is amazing.
Dudes Swing is beautiful and his ball flight is impressive
Yea he’s mint , you wanna see more of him on the channel?
That “hover” tip in the beginning of this video is golden. I noticed I hit the ball longer with more control when I hover my driver off the ground. I’m new to golf so it’s all a learning curve but when I hover, I make better contact and it feels smooth
Trottie has so much knowledge, love all of his content! I am like a student watching and learning as much as possible
What I wouldn't give to get a fitting from Trottie. Guy has a PHD in golf equipment and technique.
My dream would be to have a full fitting with Trottie and then being allowed to build the club set with Trottie teaching me how to build them. As an aspiring club maker/repairer, his videos are awesome
Always love these, it’s a treat to watch you work!
cheers hockey
I remember getting fit for SLDR by Perry Dickey exactly where they hit from at the Kimgdom
if only .... great to see a master at work ...... and what a swing !!!!!!
Trottie is a ⭐️
New favorite pro. Such great chemistry between you two.
Yea he's a great guy
What he was alluding to is kinetic energy. It’s weight and speed combined hitting the ball instead of just speed.
Also known as SMASH FACTOR on the Kit
I didn't no about lie angel on the driver and ive never had a fitter check it but changing my setting to get the driver sitting flater is a game changer in conference
G A M E - C H A N G E R - Been happening for years but if you don't know then how you gonna know 🤷♀
Thanks Trottie!
Wish I played Taylormade clubs your for your fitting advice 😅
What a smooth swing! Nice to watch
Yea he's unreal
One day I will be invited to a Trottie fitting. It will be EPIC.
Need to have him on more often, make a great team!
I love club fitting videos. I eat them up
Awesome video Trottie! Very funny video too. He swings it so good.
This guy is proper PURE, glad you saw this one fella, lotta behind the scenes in here
Once again, class video Trottie. Hope to meet you some day
Appreciate that , share it with your crew lets get this thing past 100K
Need to see Al play a round with you Trottie!
Trottie how do flatten out the land angle? I always find myself 39-42* land angle.
Awesome video!!! If you wanted the LS head, but wanted a draw or to take the right side out of play, how would you handle that? Lower loft cranked up 2 notches?
TaylorMade Golf Expert. That’s it, that’s all I have to say. :)
Secret sauce was in all in the prep 🧑🍳
This absolute unit is cruising high 170's and is disappointed. Great video as always!
Yea the lad can move
Love the videos with Al, I enjoy seeing the tree trunk baker himself pipe it obscenely far!
Kid has speed
@@trottiegolf his previous fittings I revisit quite often, great job trottie, I suspect there is more coming with Al soon?
When you see him, tell him I think he has the nastiest ballflight I've ever seen and that he is a bit of a man-rocket as well!
@@QenaitheCustodianGuard 🤣 I'll pass it on & yes I want to get him on the course to look at his irons and talk about that area
Love your content Trottie
Man, you were just piping them keep up the good videos Trottie and I hope I get to meet you one day
The bar has absolutely been raised. More to come!
Are the different weights for the slider etc available? I was told by the online customer service TM rep I could only get two choices for the rear weight for the Qi LS head? If I remember correct, only had + and - 2 from stock...
Sorry I don't know. I know there are options on tour and I believe when you go through a club fitting they set you up with the correct weight for the build
Great content. When are you coming to Australia? :)
I’m coming to Carlsbad this weekend, I have 185-190 ball speed with the stealth 2. Would love to have you take a look if you are around! A guy can dream…🙏🏻
Sorry out of town a ton at the moment, hope you're playing somewhere cool
Imagine getting fit by Trottie then playing at Augusta National. Could die and go to golf heaven after that
That would be a day 🤩
Trottie, I was wondering what is the fastest club speed you have fitted for?
Micah up there, done a small amount with Bryson but he wasn't what he is now. Alvaro Quiros was quick in his youth but never really got off tour so Rory, Dustin, Brooks, Rahm. All the ones you would think of & of course John Daly but he was a fraction past his quickest when I got to do stuff with him. Still Mega though
Trottie, should every club in a bag have the same swing weight?is that how most professionals have their clubs?
- Wedges a fraction heavier
- I like slightly heavier drivers if the PLYR can handle it
- Consistency through the irons for sure
- Putter there are a few different opinions there so no a direct answer on that one
I live in rural NC and we call it a boot, too.
🤣 I'm in Raleigh this weekend
Too scared of how bad I am (21.3 whc) to go for a fitting it would be a disaster for me and the fitter lol 😂
Why is Al not on the channel more often?
Trottie , if you do the same with a good player with a slower swing speed. What would it do ?
From a good fitting to a Trottie fitting ?
I’m searching for the shaft that matches my swing and it is a rough road 🤔
Totally different fits. Slower guys need speed and launch. Quicker the opposite.
The Triple diamonds and the LS are the best i’ve tried yet , good numbers for my 93/96 SS…. Searching for the best shaft
Thx Trottie
What’s the shaft he’s using is the question didn’t see it in the comments ?

@@trottiegolf looks around $150 which isn’t terrible. Any chance the truck has old swing weight device that needs donating 😅🍀?
@@alexlonergan5096 I saw that Mitchell Golf co on IG had some second hand ones to sell.
I have a Sim head with the + stamp on the back of the neck, are you able to confirm or deny what that means, if anything?
At one point the + meant Tour inspected but on the same note at another point in time it didn't mean anything. So I can only speculate.
Who makes that crewneck trottie
ahhhh that one is from my personal stash. Not a golf brand
@@trottiegolf great video Al has a great swing and the banter is great
@@mattdipadua3614 yea top HITR for sure
Wrench drop 😂
I've never seen a less gifted golfer in my life! 🤣
There isn't one out there
God I would love having you make my ball speed go over 200 mph it’s already high 180s
As little low as you can handle and then swing for the fences with a mountain tee
Its easier to drive a nail with a bigger hammer. Same with a golf ball. Efficiency is going to be better with a heavier (hammer) swing weight as long as you can reasonably handle it.
Yup. You get me
Does anyone ever go into those bushes on the left? Goldmine of balls overthere
KE = 1/2 m v2
You should’ve given him a littler head with less stiff shaft to prove your point 🤔
I live at 180-185 ball speed with the driver. Wish I could come and get fit.
Yeah, if only. Dream scenario, for a nobody (that being me).
I won't hover...I am 50, can still hit it.
Trottie, if I ever sway from my current company, I want to see what you think of my go.
How does an average low handicap guy get a fitting like this? If you’re somebody that actually has higher swing speed, shoots low single digits and could actually benefit from this, other than spending an insane amount of money assuming thousands of dollars to come out there is there a way to get fitted even close to the level?
