RIGGS IS CURED! HE CAN NOW HIT DRIVER!

- The summer is coming which means it's FITTING SEASON.
Riggs is a 4 handicap golfer, member of the ForePlay crew and for those who follow it's a well known fact that he struggles (like many) with the Driver. Today we work through his TaylorMade Qi10 fitting and discuss what he should be focussing on to improve his driving game so it can align with his expectations as a player.
Golf ball proves to be important as always and is our first check point before moving into alignment and his whole approach to hitting the driver. Riggs is a fun guy who plays golf for a certain set of reasons and it's clear from the way he talks about his driving game that this facet doesn't match his values.
We discuss how to bring this void closer and what he can do both technically and mentally to start seeing better results off the tee and ultimately look forward to hitting what should be one of your favorite clubs.
As always thanks to Riggs for his honesty and for allowing the camera to roll. All the links below lead to great things:

The BEST in the business, Sir Trottie!
I’ve never seen Riggs swing like he is on this video. It’s slowed down and smooth, not so choppy
I love how positive you make the players feel about their golf swing regardless of the path. I really wish I had the money to get this kind of professional help with my golf game. Great Job and I love the channel, keep them videos coming.
Well he makes every player feel great about it so he can act as if the club is making the difference and not the swing. Riggs is the perfect example
Trottie saying 4 handicap without laughing was my favorite part. I like to bust Rigg’s balls but he’s right about putting his swing on camera.
Riggs is definitely a 4. Getting to a 4 is not as hard as you would think. It is your best 10 of 20 rounds. You can have horrible rounds followed by a 76-78 and boom you are there
@@theeyesurgeon1he’s not even close to a 4. Like not even close at all. I’d say he’s around a 12
He shoots regularly in the mid 70s and posts all of his scores. I don’t know what you think a 4 looks like but Riggs is just that.
@@theeyesurgeon1watch his most recent video . If he played every hole out he would’ve shot 93. 93 doesn’t exist for true 4 handicaps
@@theeyesurgeon1 Most bad golfers have this grandiose idea of what being a mid single digit handicap is.. They think the only way to get there is with a flawless looking swing, incredible consistency etc.. which is definitely not the case.
Best swings I’ve seen Riggs take. Good job fellas.
I like Riggs, bless his heart. I’ll give him 8 handicap. He’s putting the work in
The positivity Trottie has is half the battle in a fitting!
Just one of those sessions would be a dream great content guys
Have seen a lot of your videos and really like the way you interact with the player and keep the viewer engaged with the information that matters at the same time. It's like if you turn away for a second you might miss something really important. I really liked the recent one where you visited Martin Chuck out in AZ. Great stuff. Thanks for the great content.
Thx Mike, appreciate the comment fella
Here to be a fan instead of a H8er! Love the content!
Riggs let me come out and play you for the series. I started 2 seasons ago and I’m a true single digit handicap. I would love to prove that to you and everyone watching I promise it woukd be a good ass video
Doesn't matter what the field, its always a pleasure to see a master at work. So fun to watch how effortlessly you guide your players through things. Respect Trottie!
Riggs bringing the energy out there!
Trottie, I wish there was an opportunity to have a chance to come learn the art of club fitting from you, a true master fitter. The knowledge you possess from years of building clubs for the very best players in the world is like having a gold mine full of nuggets. Just to be able to pick at those nuggets to learn some tips and tricks to fitting someone perfectly from Trottie is probably worth more than I can afford! 😂
Maybe one day. " Onion Certified " 🤔
Every driver fitting is simply teaching players to square or close their stance while convincing them it’s the $600 new driver that is adding yards.
Riggs, best I’ve ever seen you swing it. Curious, why no carry distance numbers?
That is odd.
He's probably a bit embarrassed maybe. He already gets a ton of hate in the comments. If you saw his match with the guy from the internet. Seemed like his average was around 240-250.
Maybe just an ego thing?
He doesn’t want anyone to see his carry distance of 177 and roll out to 193.
It’s pinned at top by Trottie
@lewismceacharn3241 I find it pretty difficult to believe with that swing, he's at 108 mph CH speed.
All of the lessons and fittings he's had and no one has tried to change Rigg's grip?
Agree--- his grip looks terrible.
Riggs doesn't need a fitting. He needs a complete swing reconstruction first. That's not how the body's supposed to move.
I need a Trottie in my life. Love the positivity!
Awesome video Trottie! Thanks mate
This guy is a great man to work with.
Very cool
Trottie need more numbers like trackman. Club head speed, ball speed, and distance. The content is more interesting seeing the whole picture
I thin he very consiously chooses not to do that for some players
I've pinned it in the comments
I see a lot of comments about Riggs. You guys must’ve seen his new series, “ H8ers “. Good luck to all who are trashing his swing. He literally plays all day everyday. Imagine your swing on camera. But, it is what it is. I dont think he’s a 5 or 6. He’s probably an 8. And that’s generous. But, he knows how to play. He’s proven that on camera with many videos. Why the hating on Riggs? Challenge him to a match. All his social media is out there. Go challenge him if you hate watching him so much.
It is crazy how its taken this long for someone to give him a few drills to swing to the right
Love Trottie! Close the stance and path solved 👏🏻
Can you blame us? He says he's a 4 and then shows us that he's a 12 on camera. Fuckin Trent is 3x more consistent with driver on camera. Riggs wouldn't get the comments if he would stop lying about his handicap or start counting the 4 play rounds when figuring his handicap so that it's remotely close to accurate. There's no way that action can repeatedly play in the 70's lol.
whats your handicap? just curious
@@ohhdanni9422I agree with him to be honest! Love rigs but he definitely hands in his best score cards 😂😂
@@mattlawless1821 i just wanna know his handicap so i can understand where hes coming from. people are a little harsh these days about such minut things.
My index is 4.2. I would destroy Riggs straight up. Like I would destroyed by a +4. Play for money keeps the handicap honest
There are people with some pretty bad swings that can shoot grade scores because they’re phenomenal around the green nuts saying that’s him but you don’t have to have a great swing to shoot a four handicap
Trottie I just watched your lesson and applying those principle here. Riggs needs to get that shaft more vertical at the top of his backswing. Get rid of those limp wrists
Great simple tips!
Great video as usual.
All I’m saying is Riggs says he’s a 4 handicap and chooses which scores to post, at these difficult courses. It makes me wonder if I’m these scrambles, does he post those scores and thinks they’re his own?
That 12 handicap can’t be fixed with even the genius that is Trottie
Good stuff. My swing is similar to Riggs. Think TaylorMade would document the journey of a 12 Capper down as far as possible?! I drive with an M2 9.5*. Keep up the great work Mr. Trot.🏌️⛳️
Personally think Riggs needs to move the ball up in his stance and stand just a little closer. Will get the club in a better plane and straighten out the ball flight
You said it consistently decent shot which is my problem as a newer golfer im not consistent enough in my mind to get fitted
A fitting will help anyone at any level. Being new, you might now get into nitty gritty details, but addressing grip size or lie angle can make a huge difference.
Great work
Crazy no one’s ever told Riggs to stand closer to the ball and choke up a bit. Always has hands low on takeaway and tries to reach to get it. Can swing as hard as he wants it’ll never go further w that set up
Can you fit me too lol I’m in the same boat as Riggs where if I could hit my driver well I would be in a good spot 😂
Riggs please play me off a 4 handicap. I’m a straight up 15 handicap and I bet i bet you without strokes. With stokes we are done after 9 holes
With all the equipment and tips these guys get you’d think they’d get better. You can’t always lead the horse to water.
No more Nike @Trottie? Malbon threads looking good
I like how there is gonna be more haters now that he started the segment 😂 just praying they get a shot of glory lol keep improving Riggs love the content
He wouldn’t have the haters if he was just truthful with his handicap lmao. That’s basically the only thing people give him hate for
Has Riggs ever broken 80 on camera? I know Frankie has a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything in the 70s from Riggs.
Trottie😊 if you ever make it up to Michigan, I’d love a lesson
Swing is looking much better Riggs
Great video.... but I'm so confused about why there's an owl statue sitting there on the range. LOL
It’s to scare away birds and squirrels.
Im confused to why the distance he was hitting the ball was not mentioned once.
Because he’s carrying it 210
@@brianestevez9663 they did the same thing when that girl was hitting, never mentioned the swing speed. I assume it’s because they don’t want to embarrass them.
Frankie likes it
Okay, the SDR glove looked tasty 👀
Is there a reason you didn’t show the yardage?
16:23: SMOKED! (Yes all caps on purpose)
Hi Trotie. In your expert opinion is there any real difference in getting a fitting for irons on a mat or turf.
much prefer turf if possible but if mat only option then I think it can add a little spin. Just a few 100 revs
Has been painful watching Riggs driver lately 😂 Good video…
Where’s the ball speed, club speed, and distance numbers?
Now its about putting the work in and just letting go. It must be hard having every swing on camera and people busting your balls all the time. F those haters Riggs!
Good job Riggs!! Man i'd pay two months salary for an hour with the legend trottie!!
My dad is 60 divers the ball 260 tops and savage with a wedge and putter And had brain surgery less than 2 years ago. He would spank rigs any day of the week no doubt..
Riggs grip is super weak unless i'm seeing things. It just looks odd but he's flushing it! No right or wrong.
Sun Day Red glove???
he posts every round he plays in either the grint or something like that. I don’t stalk him so I don’t have the exact location
There is only two things wrong with Riggs swing if you actually watch it in videos. In this video he is swinging it perfectly. He is barely reaising it off of the ground and swinging smoothly. Wactch his swing in all these videos the last year. He presses the head of the driver into the ground, bending the shaft, and then he whips the club. I have been saying it forever. But he doesnt listen to me the golf expert
Don't get me wrong I love you my brother!😊
if Riggs is a 4 handicap then my 7 handicap is a +2 by his standards.
There is no way riggs is a 4 there is no way he said that
There is a zero chance Riggs is a true 4 handicap. It’s a pure vanity handicap. I’d play him for 1 years salary (his salary) where we post net scores.
I’m an 11.5 handicap rn. I would be my entire life to win a dollar against him. It’s hilarious he actually thinks he’s a 4
He could be a 4-5 handicap.. a lot of terrible players have this idea in their heads that to be a mid single digit handicap you have to have this amazing swing and incredible consistency.. which is absolutely not the case.
Influencers handicap, you only post good shots, play scrambles 90% of the time and claim your single digits. Meanwhile he is fighting for bogey every single hole 😂
He plays the hardest courses in the world when we see him a 85 on a 80 slope rated course doesn’t look like a 4 but it fits right in line with
This match needs to happen! Let’s see it Trottie
4.......
Good video, but it's such an anachronism for fitters to speak as if a golf ball (or any sphere) was able to spin in two directions at the same time. There is no "backspin and sidespin" as separate values. And it's not even useful to think that way. There's a spin number, and a spin axis. If a player is already spinning the ball enough to keep it on a stable trajectory, and their spin axis is causing deviation to right or left, adding spin will increase those forces and increase L/R dispersion. You can't somehow magically add ONLY backspin and make it go straighter. On the other hand if the golfer's spin axis is within proper L/R variance (more vertically oriented) the yes adding more total spin will tighten up trajectory and reduce variance in dispersion.
Anyone know the name of that training aid they are using?

Nice glove Riggsy 😏
Why is that shaft glowing red
We all talk about Grant Horvat having the best looking swing on TH-cam! Some even say , the desert classic winner, tempo town has the best swing! I'm here to say no no no no!!! In my opinion pound for pound, Riggsy wins the best looking swing on TH-cam!! I mean are y'all blind! Kid is the goat! #TruthHurts
Irons!
He meant 14 right? He’s not even a 4 on the front
Handicap. Is. Not. Your. Average. Score. Idk why that’s so hard for people to understand. If you shoot 90 ten times in a row and then get on a heater and shoot 76-76 then you’re a 4 handicap. 4 handicaps are rarely breaking 80. It’s a measurement of your potential of your best possible rounds. It is NOT. YOUR. AVERAGE. SCORE.
You think if a guy shoots 10 90’s in a row then puts up two 76’s he’s a FOUR and we’re the ones who don’t understand the handicap system?
Last season I shot two 76 rounds, the rest of my 20 scores ranged from 80 to 91. I’m a 12.
You need to have 8 scores in your last 20 that average you a 4 hcp, the other 12 in there can be 110 and you are still a 4. Although Riggs never shoots these mid 70’s we all know this. He is a 4 handicap or better at his shortgame though. Also some allogations of him editing shoots out to make him look better in some individual clips
Riggs being a 4 is hilarious. He lost to a 12 in his first “play a hater” match. I’m an 11 and would play him straight up.
I reckon I should Caddie for him, he balls out whenever I'm in his company.
If i had a swing like Riggs i would stick to pickleball
The only "gripe" i have is that his left arm comes across his body so low..
4 handicap right now? Definitely not. But, he’s definitely got the short game to legitimately get to that or probably even be a scratch golfer. Working on the driver for him is definitely the best route to get there. The rest of us (including myself) should be working on our short game a little more instead of trying to let the big dog eat at the range all the time.
Looks like Trottie is a Malbon guy.
maybe a 4from 5k yards.
Anyone else notice that Riggs hasn’t done that god awful “drag takeaway” with driver once.
Either Riggs got some driver swing lessons or needs to swing like this in videos. He gets a lot of flack (even from me) but his swing is so ugly in other videos. This is a good swing
Why with all the time Riggs has on his hands that he hasn't undergone a full swing reconstruction is beyond me. No matter what slight improvements he makes, he will be a limited golfer with that horrific swing.
There is no way in hell that he is a 4 handicap…
Hank Haney...."if you're a 4 on the range...you play to an 8....and in tournaments, you're a 12"...
“So I shoot mid 70s when there isn’t any proof, but as soon as I have friends or a camera there, I shoot high 80s. I also have only pured one out of the first 9 shots here, but that’s bc there’s a camera”
This dude seems too caught up in trying to impress others. There’s nothing embarrassing about shooting under 90
The Riggs haters are the guys who have never played the game at the level of a low single digit or scratch handicap. Scratch golf isn’t pretty - riggs has solid short game, minimizes his mistakes around the green from what I’ve seen - and you have to imagine that when he is playing loose and the ball striking is even remotely decent he scores well. Anyone who has played the game at a high level can believe he is a 4 hcp. With that being said, given the resources he has… he should be better. Oh well, the game is hard.
I've been scratch (at a course I played literally thousands of times), no way to believe Riggs is a legit 4 if you've been watching fore play content for years. Not a Riggs hater btw, have watched a ton of their content on the course and podcasts.
For all the haters, know there's a bunch of people rooting for ya, Riggs! Swing is looking good and Trottie really has you dialed. Path right! 👊
Conversation between tp5 and tp5x? Hard and harder lol no thanks to a 5 piece
Internet adds a couple strokes, give him a break, but yeah you’re not a 4.0
Great JOB! He just loses confidence!! Lets go Riggs!!
i hate how he just stops his arms at the end of his swing.
First time I’ve started to think Riggs may have some actual claims on a 4 hcp, being on camera adds 10shots
His driver stinks because his hands get behind the club head on his takeaway. It’s like his wrists are made of wet noodles. He wrists get behind and he drags the club head behind like it’s a rock on a rope. He needs to start with the driver not touching the ground and that might be an easy fix for him. What’s strange is he generally hits his irons pretty well. And has a great short game.
Understand it’s a content game-the reality scripting of Riggs and all he is produced to be for content somewhat degrades the game we love for it’s true from.
Keep doing what your doing if it gets views and subs-it just won’t be me going forward
Stay true my freind
So basically riggs will do this like twice then go back to his same old swing...frankie is way better cause he actislly implemented his lessons
4hc... Now ive heard it all 😂🤦
LOL he still saying 4 handicap? Cmon Riggs.....
He just shot 56😂😂😂😂
I mean he hates being trolled but come on, when you say your a 4 handicap it will happen
Buddy is a 10+ handicap
Didn't we just establish that he's at least a 9 handicap? Lol
