RIGGS IS CURED! HE CAN NOW HIT DRIVER!
Рет қаралды 96,944
4 ай бұрынThe summer is coming which means it's FITTING SEASON.
Riggs is a 4 handicap golfer, member of the ForePlay crew and for those who follow it's a well known fact that he struggles (like many) with the Driver. Today we work through his TaylorMade Qi10 fitting and discuss what he should be focussing on to improve his driving game so it can align with his expectations as a player.
Golf ball proves to be important as always and is our first check point before moving into alignment and his whole approach to hitting the driver. Riggs is a fun guy who plays golf for a certain set of reasons and it's clear from the way he talks about his driving game that this facet doesn't match his values.
We discuss how to bring this void closer and what he can do both technically and mentally to start seeing better results off the tee and ultimately look forward to hitting what should be one of your favorite clubs.
As always thanks to Riggs for his honesty and for allowing the camera to roll. All the links below lead to great things:

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

I watch a lot of KZfaq golf and I know a lot of good golfers. I’ve never seen anyone that was below about a 6 handicap that when they hit the ball sounded like they are raking it through carpet. It never has that “thud” at impact when you’re pinching the ball. I’m not hating him, I like Riggs. I just think he’s a 12 handicap. You’re just not a 4 if you can’t get off the tee box for a month.
@ryanheisler7139 4 ай бұрын
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...

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.

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

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
