@notformebeaky it's not about the difficulty of the craft or subject. It's about how much care you put forth and the humility this man has to admit his "amateur" mistake rather than not pointing it out in the video in which the majority of viewers would've never thought of that to have been a mistake
@notformebeaky Not rocket science but he takes pride in his craft and it shows. He isn't egotistical and admitted his mistake. That is honest work and those guys (the Golfers ) rely on perfection from him to play as well as they do.
@@ben23guzman I used to work at Dicks Sporting Goods and regripped A LOT of clubs so I immediately noticed the tape sticking out. But like you said, props to Trottie for pointing that out himself on the video.
I worked in a golf store and assembled clubs around 14-18 years ago. It is amazing how far the technology and how quickly things can be done. It used to be 24 hours to cure epoxy before a club could be played. Now they can do it in 2.5 minutes... Amazing.
Out of all the Taylormade videos I've watched, this has been my favourite! Must feel awesome to have those guys playing Augusta with clubs that he's been a part of making. Seriously, these sorta insider videos are brill, keep it up!
These guys were in Memphis for the St. Jude Classic one year and built me a three wood at one of the Pro shops they were visiting. One of the best clubs I've ever purchased and I still hit it great. Makes all the difference in the world.
Great video! As a club repair/builder hobbyist, the professional equipment, parts, & supplies being used are amazing! Sleeves, hot melt, snowboard epoxy...VERY cool to see behind the scenes! 👍⛳️
This may be the best “how to” video regarding building a club that I have ever seen. And there are a lot of decent teachers out there. You, sir, explained all the shorthand terms. (Eg. the terms that you used to describe the weight distribution of the shaft or the clubhead). Well done!
Anyone else surprised at the 11° ? Love the knowledge and workmanship of Chris Trott, top of his game (apart from the amateurish tape sticking out bit 😉) . Fantastic content.
@@Joellillycrop I guess it all comes down to what loft/angle of attack is delivered at impact. Brysons 4.8° driver could be within 2-3° of DJ’s 11° driver at impact? Either way it just shows they’re not using the same equipment as us amatures no matter how much money we spend.
Joe MFC i never thought about it that way. Makes sense when you explain it that way. Thats always the case w professional athletes. Lebron isn’t wearing the same shoe we buy. Tiger isnt hitting the same P7TW as we are, even if we get the “tiger specs”.
🤣 ... I acknowledged my mistake, did you not watch all the way?? ✂️ to the tape 👍🏻.... also you’re right the loft is all about what you need to hit your given windows & numbers 👍🏻😎
I was working at a GM plant and seen these pots that said “Hot Melt Technologies” on the side. These little yellow cubes are heated up and used as an adhesive to hold wiring harnesses in place along the back side of the headliner. Very cool.
@@trottiegolf couple things for me.The label at the top of the shaft was kept on.That must be as thick as one tape? I always remove.2nd thing was the taping must depend on the shaft but.Assuming that shaft must be 600 butt
@trottiegolf DUDE that was awesome. Thanks for showing us that process. I didn't know how much went into fitting a club for a tour pro. Would love to one day do something like this for myself. Keep up the good work!!!
The only "exotic" thing he did that I don't do (as an amateur club maker) was the addition of hot glue inside the head. And also, I don't have a bending jig to change the lie of the driver. He measured it and it was per Johnson's spec, so we didn't see what he'd have done if it was off. I don't have all digital, state of the art instruments, but whether swingweighting, tipping/trimming, loft and lie measurement, etc, it can all be done at a workbench in your garage. None the less, it was fun to watch. The skill he has that we didn't see exhibited here was his knowledge of fitting and what to change in a club's spec to accomplish the player's need/goal. In other words, the back and forth with the player to get to the SPEC. Seeing those done by the tour truck guys and a tour level player is REALLY fun!
Interesting! I never considered gluing the sleeve to the shaft while in the club, but I understand it for the sake of have the graphics in the right spot.
@@trottiegolf omg you responded thanks hey since you work with Taylormade I know it sounds really cliché to ask but if I don’t ask I’ll never know can I get a free Sim LMAO
Love the fact he noticed the little bit of tape. I saw that and thought "is he going to spot that?". Absolute professional right there and why he's top of the game.
That was awesome, because I learned now why more loft is needed in the SIM heads, as they are so low spin that even someone like DJ needs an 11 loft in order to get the correct launch/spin. That's amazing, and now I know why I could not hit my 10.5 lowered by .75 degrees to 9.75 and get the spin rate up enough to carry the ball expected lengths.!!
That was super cool. I build most of my own clubs and of course they are mostly TM... Some things that are really frustrating for me is that I can't get a driver head at exactly the loft I want (yes, 11 is also good for me), and because I like a 44.5" length, I cannot get the special hotmelt and different weight screws for my SIM driver. It was really nice when the Superquad etc had 4 weight screws to at least move the weight around a little more but they have gone away from that now. If you want, I can post all my specs, driver to LW and we can work on a tour van build just for me :D
I learned to do clubwork at the city municipal, I’m proud to say after watching this video I could do all this club work even though I learned at the budget course
So the buttcap on the grip is 1/8" and at 5:30 he says that he needs to cut 1/8" LESS than the total length (45 3/4"). So did Dustin just get a driver that´s 1/4" longer than he ordered?
I would like to say that I've done this but I will probably not be financially comfortable enough to be fitted or own new clubs in my life. I really like seeing how it is done though. Thank you for the video.
Props to him calling out the tape showing...shows respect for his craft.

Nice to know i am not the only one who does 3 on the right, 2 on the left - awesome insight into building a Pros club... fancy doing mine 😁
Sure wrack em up tomorrow in Houston....

Amazing how you think your buying the same clubs as a pro would use what a huge difference. Great video

Very instructive and interesting. Cheers TM !
This just goes to show that what Jack did with a wooden driver and a rubber ball is even more reason he is the GOAT.
its pretty amazing
Everyone else had the same equipment
Great video. Thank you

Great video about a great job!!!
I'm gonna put hot melt in my driver...just so I can get that awesome tour driver sound!!!
I learned to do clubwork at the city municipal, I’m proud to say after watching this video I could do all this club work even though I learned at the budget course
How would a player decide what swing weight is best for them? Is it by feel or numbers?
Lil bit of both
So the buttcap on the grip is 1/8" and at 5:30 he says that he needs to cut 1/8" LESS than the total length (45 3/4"). So did Dustin just get a driver that´s 1/4" longer than he ordered?
I thought the implication was that this butt cap was thinner than normal so he had to cut less to get the same length.
Amazing video, thanks Trottie!
As i was watching this DJ pulled the shit out his drive into the 2nd cut lol that damn hot melt
loved this video, more like this would be brilliant
You got it PLYR 👍🏻
This guy was impressive enjoyed that 👏
Great video when i put grip on i like to tap on floor to seat the grip also would grip be dry enough to use
Wow! Very cool!
The world number 1 uses a draw based driver, love it! 🤘⛳
The standard SIM is actually very fade biased out of the box, so adding the weight as he does is just neutralizing that bias some.
I would like to say that I've done this but I will probably not be financially comfortable enough to be fitted or own new clubs in my life. I really like seeing how it is done though. Thank you for the video.
