#tourtrucktuesday LIVE FITTING IS BACK
Canadian Sling King Mac Boucher and all round great guy joins me in the PGA Tour Department at TaylorMade Headquarters.
Check out Mac’s channel :
/ @macbouchergolf
Mac is a lefty with some serious talent and plays with a lot of feel. To start this fitting we talk through the hot melt process and dive into detail in terms of a clubs balance point and what each individual player should be looking for in order to maximize their driving game.
Once we’ve cherry picked his Qi10 LS and dialed in the perfect loft and lie we head to The Kingdom to check ball flight and data on the Full Swing Kit launch monitor.
Mac isn’t your ordinary player and his shot shaping talents are unrivaled.
Enjoy his hitting display as he gives some amazing feedback on what he likes to see and why, with unreal awareness of how he delivers the golf club.

Chris, this is fantastic to watch and the level of detail you provide is incredible, clearly an expert. Granted, not every golfer needs this type of service, but one of the biggest issues is that no fitter or fitting centre in the UK offers this type of service and goes into this level of detail

@Chris_Rowles 4 ай бұрын

Slight correction for the gear nerds out there, the shaft Mac has is a Gen 4 HZRDUS Black, not a hulk. He has a limited edition rainbow PVD finish on that shaft which was released last spring.

@ericbradner6986 4 ай бұрын

Was gonna say the same thing, this is definitely the Gen4 Black (which is a stock option through nearly every manufacturer, though not in this awesome PVD rainbow finish), not the Hulk.

Trottoir, Matt, thanks for that. This is so educational from a couple of the best fitters, hitters of the ball! I’m trying to fit myself with my PXG 0311 gen 5 and my Garmin R10. The thing I noticed that there is soooo much difference between the driving range ball, the winter (2-piece ball), and my gamer ball; in terms of speed, launch angle and spin. I think there’s almost 25-30 yards carry difference with my meager 95mph clubhead speed. 😱 But I’m slowly getting to that elusive straight/baby draw ball flight, with 12-16 degree launch angle and 2800-2200 rpm👍👍

13:28 @Trottiegolf, could you explain exactly, what the Normalize-function does for the numbers on Trackman and when it should be used? I had a session lately, where we hit range balls, which should have been selected as Limited distance Soft, but usually in a studio I hit premium hards. I am not sure, which ball was selected at the range ball session. With the range ball Normalized had the ball speed jumping at 175 from 165 and smash factor from 1.49 up to 1.55, which I find bizarre.

Tiger is into it so it can't be ruled out. To be honest a ton of tour guys are on it BUT I've asked engineers at TM and they're not into it. So mixed opinions on that. Personally, I've never sworn by it but if a PLYR wants it then I obv don't mess around and make sure it happens.

@@doch5061 lot of talk maybe 15 - 20 yrs ago about 8 iron shafts in wedges. That'd be your soft step play as once you get down into those wedge shafts they're all one length

@SnoopyGolf 4 ай бұрын

@@avy2084 You are wrong in many ways. Why do you talk when you don't know. First of all most shafts don't have a PW shaft. You might be thinking of wedge flex which is different. Putting an 8 iron shaft in a 9 iron is soft stepping it once basic terms . More of the tip section is exposed which makes the shaft play softer. You put 9 iron shafts in wedges if you want to play same same shafts as irons in wedges. Putting an 8 iron shaft will soft step it once. 7 iron shaft will soft step twice.

What I’d do for a fit like this right now, I’m on the verge of quitting golf I’m so close to my wits end with driver. I’ve gone from a 2 handicap to can’t break 80 because of my tee game. 4 fairways in my last 3 rounds, but videos like this give me hope!

How about just don't hit driver, smfh... Play at 3:00 or a five wood or even a three iron off of the tee. No reason you can't be a two handicap without a driver in your bag.

@lickitbiscuit6700 4 ай бұрын

Awesome advice guys. Probably should rephrase, if I were to tee off with driver every hole I wouldn’t break 80. Already hitting 3 iron off the tee on par 4’s that are short enough, but I’d like to play golf being able to carry it farther than 225 with a 3 iron and take advantage of my speed. 77 only hitting driver 6-7 times isn’t as enjoyable

@@thadubsdavid recognize I didn’t explain that well. 2 options, well technically 3 1) blow air in the head and try and remove whatever is loose or the weight 2) hot melt to stick the weight to the crown and then make the other weight in the head lighter Only really works with loose pieces of carbon opposed to an actual weight 3) send it back This is the safest option. To lose a weight in the head is a little odd so speak to manufacturer and sort that would be my advice.
