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!
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.
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. 😮
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.🏌️⛳️
@@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.
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
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
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
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.
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..
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
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 😂
Bad mechanics are exposed under pressure. His swing looks better here, but it looks like he is hitting more down on it and not trying to scoop it up like he does in other videos. Too flat of back swing, not enough vertical pressure on the back swing and down swing. There is a reason it is called a down swing and not around swing.
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!
How far he hitting the last couple and what CH speed Trottski?
Ball Speed = 156.6mph

I’ve never seen Riggs swing like he is on this video. It’s slowed down and smooth, not so choppy
Best swings I’ve seen Riggs take. Good job fellas.
Great video Trottie, hope you come out with more like this!
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

Atta boy Riggs, great video Trottie!
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+?

That is odd.

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.
Riggs bringing the energy out there!
I used to hate on Riggs but his swing has gotten so much better
Fantastic work Trottie... curious on the carry numbers... love the content...
Thx and I pinned it in the comments fella
Awesome video Trottie! Thanks mate
This guy is a great man to work with.
Very cool
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.
I need a Trottie in my life. Love the positivity!
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.
It is crazy how its taken this long for someone to give him a few drills to swing to the right
Not one yardage shown on all those drivers, Riggsy asked them to keep his 200 carrys on the down low... 😉
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 😂

Where’s the ball speed, club speed, and distance numbers?
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
