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!
Maybe this is my experience in the UK, but not many fitters put this much energy and enthusiasm in their fitting process. Often its a tick box for the numbers and the closest wins, but there's so much to be said about the confidence you get, the alignment help, the insight into your swing path that just don't get communicated well enough. They want you out the door with your pockets empty asap. I wish everyone put this much love into their fitting process as you do Trottie
They aren't going to give you what's basically a lesson, and they know each other really well, there's probably an hour of trottie beating riggs with a shaft to swing in to out we don't see. 😮
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.
Wish I could've seen the numbers shot by shot as he switched clubs/ different swings. Not many reference points as he progressed through the fitting. Glad to see Riggs hopefully get his driver yips out of the way!
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
@@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.
Riggs is one the best practice range golfers I know. He hits his driver straight everytime, trottie is a good second, this was a comment made in good spirit i
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
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! 😂
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?
OK now let's be honest, I so like Riggs, I don't understand his haters (what is your life guys), but I can't believe Riggs is a 4 hdcp. Signed: a 4 handicap. PS.: he got a good wedge and chip play.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
Dude he just got beat by an 8.4 who was a fish out of water first time on cam etc. The goat hump isnt a 4 handicap. The mental gynastics on this guy is insane. Maybe thats what he learned at harvard.
Trottie, could you do a deeper dive on the spinnier ball providing more stabilization to the ball flight (including the misses)? Most of the other ball folks seem to insist that a lower spin ball will help in that scenario. But based on some of the results here I might be inclined to agree with your proposition...
I just like to see the right spin numbers & always fit a little more spin off the tee if someone struggles with accuracy BUT that said you've got a window so I'll always keep it in my parameters
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
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
@@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.
A 4 whs handicap rating is a base handicap. It is all about the slope rating and for the better players the sss comes into play. The course where i am a member has a yellow slope of 135 off the back tees its 137. Off the whites a whs 4 handicap gets probably 3/4 extra shots so no longer a 4 now an 7/8. Friend of mine has a whs of 2.3, his course is 139 but with an sss of 70. A pro would hope to score 2 under. Suppose its relative, now a whs of 4 is not the old 4 handicap
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
I don't understand why people think Riggs lies about his HC. It only hurts him when it comes to giving up strokes as shown in recent videos. Camera adds 5 strokes to a HC I would say for most people.
Well he did lose to a 9.4 straight up while claiming a 4 handicap not long ago...so the hate seems justifiable 🤷 dude just needs to be honest about his game.
This is like the 4th time Riggs got swing lessons to stop humping the ball... I don't see it happening anytime soon. Riggs said he was a 2 handicap and now he's saying 4, why is he getting worse when he golf's constantly?
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..
I too have no problem w/ Riggs, thought he did great at the GG Open. The 4 thing is absolutely absurd however. He has barely been able to find the planet w/ his driver the past couple years.
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.🏌️⛳️
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?
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!
Riggs is just so steep. It’s the reason his irons and wedges are decent but his woods and driver are slices. If he could learn to hit up on a drive he might actually be
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
How far he hitting the last couple and what CH speed Trottski?
Ball Speed = 156.6mph
Club = 108

watching trottie has helped me talk to fitters and my coach with feedback they can use to help my game. Much appreciated.
Best swings I’ve seen Riggs take. Good job fellas.
Great video Trottie, hope you come out with more like this!
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!
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.

@@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

Awesome work guys!
Love Trottie! Close the stance and path solved 👏🏻
Great work
Great video as usual.
Great simple tips!
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.

@lewismceacharn3241 I find it pretty difficult to believe with that swing, he's at 108 mph CH speed.

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
Riggs doesn't need a fitting. He needs a complete swing reconstruction first. That's not how the body's supposed to move.
this was awesome
Did Riggs ask you to not put on the carry distance lol
Hitting it shorter than LPGA players wouldn't be a good look lol. He probably carries a driver 220-225 tops.
dont you know EVERY youtube golf guy carries it 285+?
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.
That 12 handicap can’t be fixed with even the genius that is Trottie
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

Did i miss it, or did we not get any yardage from his driver? Probably a solid 220 carry, nothing wrong with that.

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
