Trottie, you are simply amazing! I play the Paradym TD with Ventus TR 6S and would love to see how you can improve my driving. Maybe even convert me back to TaylorMade!
Love these recent Trott fitting videos. My setup: 9° Qi10 "LS" set one tick to 9.75° with Ventus TR Blue VC 6x. As a 5 handicapper I found the CORE Qi10 difficult to keep in the fairway - I didn't want to overthink it even though I THOUGHT I'd be a CORE guy. LS won the day in the dispersion category. BY FAR. I wish Trott could tell me why that is.
@@Station2Station-du2gh thats good decision, all new bag...I first thought you must be Peter Finch but remembered he has all Hybrids and Woods Qi10s...but damn, great bag. The S are beautiful and T even more. How much is brand new fitted club? Vokeys 500, spider 400, irons 1700, driver with Ventus near 1000 and 250 hybrid...$3500-$4000 but tbh for 5hcp you play a lot and for me doesn't make sense people are complaining about prices too much (its a lot but then I ask where and when do you guys play golf?) once a month at the cheapest course, then normally you won't spend that much on clubs... wish you a great season, brake some pars ✌️😁💪💪
Curious you said the Kai’li White is soft given that it’s supposed to have a stiffer tip section. What is it about that shaft that makes you say it’s softer?
That one wasn't stiff. I didn't measure the tipping but the profile didn't feel stiff to me or look stiff for our HITR. I went Fuji as I know the way that shaft performs at the speed we were dealing with. Once I'd called that change I built the club up around what I was seeing. If you watch a lot of my fitting you'll see I hate to jump all over the place on shafts, dangerous route to go with any fitting.
Professor, you make all the other UA-camrs irrelevant. Even TXG is starting to be unappealing to watch (and Paige S has been on lately😂😂😂). I always learn something from your videos. Love it!!!
I would love to get fitted by Trottie ! He would gas you up to hit bombs. 8.8 handicap, I need this style fitting if an 11 can hit it 300 haha keep up the amazing work
Would love to get fitted but that’s just not in the budget for me. Would love some tips for someone to kind of fit themselves when buying used clubs to fill their bag.
Tons of vids on my channel about fitting. I am forever speaking about taking responsibility as a player for your numbers. Tell me what you'd like to see specifically and I'll see if I either have a vid on that or can make something happen.
The PROBLEM is there is such a LOW SUPPLY of people like Trottie Ian etc... big box is a joke just glorified baby sitters making sure you don't break something even Club Champion the fitters knowledge base can be extremely limited depending on the location.
You gotta remember both Ian and I are close to 20 yrs doing this. Me predominantly on tour and Ian we know his path (of which started yrs ago at TM). For me the thing is trust in the FITR and then how everything is handled to benefit the PLYR. I always say the PLYR calls the final decisions providing they're competent. Good fitters take time to find their style and then confidence to experiment. Having tour PLYR's and a truck was huge for me, not all people have that level to learn from.
Factored in with the tipping. I will say Rory grunts on both course and range & I will add I have played golf with Chris and he does add that sound on the track. Emphasized here by the mic
Me as 25+ hcp, playing 4 months probably fitting is not an option-only forgiving and smart clubs choice. Since at the fitter every shot will be very different and fitter atleast need some reference point right? Anyways its pleasure to watch how commited you are doing the job ✌️👏
Love that you're asking this question, you won't be 25 hcp for long. In this scenario I would take some time to help you find consistency and if we didn't get there I'd go off your wrist to floor measurements to guide me on length and then shot pattern would help me with lie. Bottom line you're close and once you do start getting the ball in the air the fitting process will help.
wish I could get that good of a fitting in my area. I had a fitting and the guy gave me some devise to swing and picked 3 shafts then added different iron heads to find which one went the longest. (I can keep them in play usually, just need more distance) and I would say after about 5 minutes with a driver he really gave up and put me in something that went about the same distance as my old driver but lower loft so it ran out a little more.
Trottie, I love your videos and have been following for a few years now, but calling a Kai’li white an overall soft and tip soft golf shaft just isn’t true. I know you were trying to illustrate a point when breaking down his previous fitting, but Kai’li white if far from being a tip soft golf shaft.
That build wasn't tipped and the swing weight was D4 ish, therefore the head and shaft combo wasn't particularly tight. Now can a Kai'li be assembled tighter YES, was that one..... NO
@@trottiegolf yes absolutely in this scenario, given he was in a ping head, which are naturally 6-8 grams heavier than a stock Taylormade head. The swing weight will also reflect that added weight. Just feel like there was an opportunity to add that little bit into the video to help educate other viewers as to why that shaft in this instance played soft. Given more “normal” head weight that shaft would have been closer to what most would expect out of a Kai’li white part. Not trying to nitpick a very small detail, just thought it would be a great opportunity to showcase how adding weight to a head will impact shaft and overall club performance.
@@Chris_Rowles fair…. But does come back to my theme of swingweight means so much. Hence why every other month i seem to send folks back to this: ua-cam.com/video/Ww2GaXSEX9Q/v-deo.htmlsi=1wVcHqHGeXLVFDPa As always though , I will reiterate , I don’t like to bounce all over with shafts. I always go to my tried n tested & what’s served me well in tight situations. That said if a FITR likes that shaft and weighs it correctly with the SW then I’m cool with it. I just feel given 1 pass I wanted to change it up and get the SW and head where I was confident. Just my style , not gonna sit here and claim I know everything about every shaft , just not how it works on tour as you’ll 9/10 times have a shaft rep on hand who can dive deep into that part if needed
I wish my sons fitting went even a quarter this good but his was disaster talk about pushing our youth out of golfing especially one that has great potential wish most fitters would listen to the golfer instead of just think since he is a kid he isn't worth the time
I've always struggles with the high right miss on my driver. The teeing it lower back in your stance is an interesting adjustment I'm curious to try at my next range session.
Trottie, I keep loving these videos! Really think you are putting out the best relatable content for us 4 or 5's that have been stuck away from the game due to surgeries. I realize it's a big ask to get fitted at the kingdom, but if that's not possible where would you suggest? Can't thank you enough for writing back such long detailed responses when I've asked about your pro career and friendship with Finch.. Thank you in advance for your help and support 🙏 Eric kimmel
Hey Eric, thx for the comment. where do you live? I have a couple of tour friends in Tennessee , a couple in the UK and then obv Ian in Canada I would imagine is safe hands
Towards the end, Trottie decreased the loft which introduces and open face. But don't you simply close the face at address to ensure you get the newly adjusted loft? Negating the open face?
We'd talked about release quite a bit at that point so I felt I could go there. You can certainly adjust at set up or play a lower lofted head and add loft for FA
hey trottie quick question, does this video suggest that - depending on the person’s swing of course - a stiffer shaft can help eliminate the right side or was that just a product of a lower tee and trapping the ball? love the content as always!!
Great fitting, seems like he has the speed for the x flex. Did you stick with the S because the X would’ve been a big difference from what he was used to and he was timing it and having great results with it?
I love that people come to an elite club fitter, then get surprised when they improve their feel, shape, distance etc.....😅 The Trotmeister is the man!
@@trottiegolf I wish I could be lucky enough to be on ur channel! But A: don’t have that kind of money blow B: your on the other side of the US! I dig super deep in the data I love it and the way you word things
Seriously need to work my driver out, a trottie fitting would be a dream. Taylormade SIM2 set at 8.5, Kai’li 70X shaft and I’m launching it over the moon. Gotta get my spin back to normal

When can I come for a fitting?
You are so knowledgeable and love watching your videos.
Thank you
Trott is the man. I'm saving all my tip money to go to the Kingdom and get fit by Trott!!!!!
11 HCP with 115mph club speed checking in 😢
Would be an honor to meet one day and when my channel grows get fit by you
Still missing my invite here Trottie... maybe not enough postage or something... simple mistake. Cheers!
🤣
High handicaper fitting please.
Hmm.. no more Nike… Malbon now! 🎉
I was thinking the only way to get lesson from @Trottiegolf was to get fitted, but these videos just may work lol
Trottie....lol you are a fountain of info that cant be expressed in 1,000 vids. Shew... How close are you to Kentucky?
Thank you, sadly never made it our to Kentucky. Maybe one day.

🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Hey Trottie, is it possible to move a driver sleeve upright by one click, without affecting the loft and face angle?
I’m in the U.K , but what a fit would be like with you trottie …another level maybe one day👏 😂
The challenge today is tryng to find someone who actully knows how to fit!!!
I feel an onion certification is needed?
Trottie, if you or TM ever need a very average senior as a test subject for full bag fitting, give me a shout.
Would love to get fitted but that’s just not in the budget for me. Would love some tips for someone to kind of fit themselves when buying used clubs to fill their bag.

Such a fun video❤
Come out to Phoenix AZ for a clinic please!!!
Wow guy is a magician and comedian
Would love to see a fitting of a high handicapper golfer.
The PROBLEM is there is such a LOW SUPPLY of people like Trottie Ian etc... big box is a joke just glorified baby sitters making sure you don't break something even Club Champion the fitters knowledge base can be extremely limited depending on the location.
You gotta remember both Ian and I are close to 20 yrs doing this. Me predominantly on tour and Ian we know his path (of which started yrs ago at TM).
For me the thing is trust in the FITR and then how everything is handled to benefit the PLYR. I always say the PLYR calls the final decisions providing they're competent.
Good fitters take time to find their style and then confidence to experiment. Having tour PLYR's and a truck was huge for me, not all people have that level to learn from.
He must have a crap shortgame😜 nice fitting.
@trottiegolf you are my hero. Simple explanations to better my game.
There's a taylormade fitter coming to a course near me. Do you think the fitting will be as professional and legit as they are at the kingdom?
No way.
300 yrd drives off 11 , you should have fitted him a sombrero.
He’s an animal 🤣
Early extension?
Soooo early! 😂
Good content but the golfer is grunting hitting the ball, not going to swinging that hard on the course

@@trottiegolf okay thank you !
Was he in a Kaali White in the ping? Surprising as they don’t bill that as a soft tip or is it just soft compared to the Ventus? Thanks
I noticed that, kai'li 60x is definitely not "soft in the tip". Although not anywhere near ventus tr black tip stiffness
Big fan of the channel, but please throw that bowling shirt to the trash.
🎳
Awesome video Trott alot of knowledge given and received very well done cheers from Vulcan Canada

Hitting your third shot from the same tee that you just hit your first shot from catches up to you multiple times in a round 😅
