- Follow along as TaylorMade Golf's Director of Sports Marketing @trottiegolf takes you inside the TaylorMade Tour Truck and takes you through step by step how they build Dustin Johnson's SIM driver. Trottie takes you through DJ's interesting grip choice (3R+2L), why he plays the certain shaft, what the loft of his driver head reads and just how much hot melt is added to give him that pure feel.

Dustin Johnson building Dustin Johnson's driver
Why are Englishman so good at explaining things? Is that just me?
😂😂 I thought that was him in the preview image lol
@@szkope I think he ment trottie
hey man could you give me some constructive criticism on my latest video, would mean the world! Going through a tough time after losing my job!
That’s what it looks like isn’t it?
Props to him calling out the tape showing...shows respect for his craft.
@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.
@notformebeaky it’s Astro physics if you think about it.
I was expecting a tool to remove the excess of glue haha.
@@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.
This needs to become a series! That was so much fun to watch and so interesting!
AGREED..... We're on it!
This guys knows his shit. It’s honestly next level.
The precision of Tour Pro’s is next level. 🤯
hey man could you give me some constructive criticism on my latest video, would mean the world! Going through a tough time after losing my job! Hey
That was completely mesmerizing
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!
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.
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!
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! 👍⛳️
Do this with every single golfer on team Taylor made
What this guy said^^^
I like that plan 💡
Agreed
@@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
All jokes unless
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.
wow!! the detail to precision here is amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
Trotty that was unreal I’m a golf nut and that was amazing amazing. Please do more of these it was mesmerizing
As a clubmaker/fitter this guy is ace. The content TM is putting out is absolutely dusting the competition. Great video, guys!
Simply put, superb! Love seeing this stuff!
@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!!!
**Removes fingerprints from shaft and club head**
**Touches everything again for good measure**
Loved the video and learning all that goes into fitting these clubs for players as well as the processes for putting the club together.
I could watch this all day. Totally fascinating!
Incredible technology...really enjoyed this..love these tour truck videos!
Love the talking through as you go, tradesman quality
One of the coolest Yt vids I've seen in recent memory and damn what an awesome job to have.
Yup it's a ripper
Ah, the staggered grip tapes! Finally found what I need to break 100.
Disappointed Dustin needs all that heel weight to stop his slice. What a duffer.
hey man could you give me some constructive criticism on my latest video, would mean the world! Going through a tough time after losing my job!
That was one of the best club making videos. Absolutely to the point!
We do try our best pro, thx man
@@trottiegolf
Absolutely. Keep up the good work brother.
Awesome video! Great to see such great knowledge and attention to detail. Definitely a career I could see myself pursuing
Can we get Rory's next?!?! Please
Sounds like a plan
@@trottiegolf much appreciated! Real hero🙏🏽
@@trottiegolf looking forward to it. Thank you
That was completely mesmerizing
@@trottiegolf yess trottie
Realy amazing the tecnology to hit a ball longer and straight .
Trottie, Taylormade, thank you so much!
Excellent explanations of each part of the build. A+++
L E G E N D - Glad you liked it pro
Great insight to what the tour guys get, very interesting. Keep up the great work Trottie 👍
Thx PLYR
Love this guy's knowledge and passion! Subject matter expert for sure.....
A life passion.... thx fella 👍🏻
That had to be the coolest thing I have ever watched!
Sir, it is a pleasure to watch you work!
This was an awesome video. Thanks @trottiegolf!
hey man could you give me some constructive criticism on my latest video, would mean the world! Going through a tough time after losing my job! lollll
Dream job!!! This video was awesome.
Oh to have a look around on that workshop and check that equipment out fantastic video Chris cheers Peter
This was amazing to watch!
This was a thoroughly pleasing video
This is why I love TaylorMade golf
this is one of the best videos ive ever seen
This aged well! 😀 Masters winner 🥳
I'm learning about golf and I had no idea you can have bespoke clubs. That's awesome 👍
For sure one of the best videos in the Taylormade channel
🙏🏻 fella, we try 👍🏻
I implicitly trust him because of his accent
🤣🤣 🇬🇧
For real. Gordon Ramsey of golf
😂
That's why British people are the best villians.
Fantastic to watch a Master of his craft work
I could watch these all day
Stunned that anyone can feel that much level of precision through their hands. WOW !!!!
He’s an amazing athlete
@@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
Probably can't
Amazing video, thanks Trottie!
Thought that was DJ at first lol still rocking my TP R7 from a decade. Love it.
I had no idea so much went into a club for the pros, thank you!
You should do one these for a putter
I'm new to golf and my head is spinning right now. lol
Fantastic video, well produced and well spoken!
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.
What is the difference between Hot Melt Technologies™ and hot glue?
@@hazy- probably a few dollars, lol
all the mechanical engineering in that trailer is pretty awesome
Great video...agree with a previous comment; make this a series..
Love The old school Nike logo shirt too...
Thanks! I love that videos. I wish film a player being fitted for shaft etc.
This man has made Master Champions 🙌
By far the best taylormade video
B O O M
Trottie!! I love it. As a builder myself, this was fun!
thx pro
You have my dream job. I love watching all your content on here, as well as all the stuff on the TMAG channel. Keep up the great work!! Stay safe.
Awesome video. Loved the in depth explanation
👊🏻
Trottie needs his own show!
🤣 that’d be 🤒
It took me 50 years to find my dream job!! Very nice.
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....
Great video. So cool to see whats behind the curtain.
Absolutely fascinating. Career envy and then some...
I'm new to golf and my head is spinning right now. lol
You should do one these for a putter
Very instructive and interesting. Cheers TM !
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.
Wow wow wow this has to be one of the best videos on UA-cam. I would be in my element being fitted by you Sir Trottie
🙏🏻 pro, appreciate that 👍🏻
@@trottiegolf you are more than welcome 👏👏
Best tour van build I have watched.
Yeah baby!
That was a great tuturial
Tremendous content.
Trottie is ace ✅
🙏🏻 pro
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!
Wow need to see more of these
So amazing. Love this stuff
Wow. Great job! Now that’s a cool job to have.
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.
Haha i was thinking the exact same thing😂
I was very surprised. I figured all the tour pros would be running at least 10* and under
@@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 👍🏻😎
loved this video, more like this would be brilliant
You got it PLYR 👍🏻
Great video. Thank you
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
Great video about a great job!!!
This guy was impressive enjoyed that 👏
That was amazing!!!!!
Amazing how you think your buying the same clubs as a pro would use what a huge difference. Great video
Amazing process
This is my new favorite youtube video
This is an amazing video
I do this once a week with my Driver (LOL) . Great Video !
Wow! Very cool!
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.!!
Dial up my UA-cam you’ll find a ton more 🧅’s like this fella 👍🏻
@@uy7535 play what's right for your game that's key
I work building clubs sometimes at my job and boy would it be nice to have your tools!!!
FASCINATING!!!!
That was amazing info on a pros club choice n make, loved it n wanted to see him hit it away on the range 😂
That was awesome!
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
What a great video
Great vid, highly interesting 👍
Loved it!!
This could be a great series on the channel! Please share more!
💯 % we gotta build this out, I’m with ya fella .... happy #tourtrucktuesday 🚛💨
@@trottiegolf One take, and superb interpretation skills. Love it.
Why are Englishman so good at explaining things? Is that just me?
They have spoken English far longer than anyone else.
Ha ha ..... 🤷🏻♂️ slow & steady
If this was an American I would be so lost..... or at least more lost than I already am😂
Nope not just you
It's the sound of the voice that gives it more validity 🤣
