I met Tommy at the British Open at Carnoustie and my son who was 4 he got a photo with him. Such a gentleman and Tommy said he loved my son red and blue jumper which made his day. My son is now in the Junior programme at Carnoustie and loves his golf. I put that down to Tommy ⛳👍👍
Yeah, he seems like a lovely guy and so talented. Wish he'd broken his duck on PGA Tour in 23 because when he wins one, many will follow 👏
He’s a very genuine guy
I didn’t know that the main brands of clubs were putting so much effort in monitoring the top players game with such great detail and work on suggesting literally tailored adjustments and improvements for each of them. That must indeed be a great bonus for these players.
For anyone who doesn't know, it doesn't get covered on TV coverage, the brands have trucks in the car park at tournaments on hand to help their players with clubs over a 4 day tournament. I'd love to see Sky Sports Golf or you Rick record the process over the 4 days and indeed week (practice rounds) leading up to a big tournament. Love the videos 💕
Met him at Carnoustie for a quick 10 seconds and stopped completely doing what he was doing and gave me the attention.. I’m no a huge golf fan but I’m a Scot and was staying in Carnoustie during the open
Having that team available is certainly helpful, but let's be honest. The size of the endorsement deal has got to be enormous if you sign for a full bag, especially if you're a top 10 or so in the world.
Idk, not having to think about equipment and just focusing on your swing and playing golf is pretty massive weight off most pros shoulders.
Ahastar I feel like pros care about what clubs they are swinging ...
I don't know, a full bag of Taylormade is plenty sweet enough for me.
I'd truely feel sorry for a team of people dedicated to watching my numbers and how I'm hitting my clubs, they'd be suicidal in a week. Ha. Crazy to think about all that goes on and into a touring pro's daily game.
7 wood is my favorite club in my bag as well after my driver. It was the perfect answer to that distance.
I’ve noticed high lofted woods becoming the new meta for a lot of golfers. I may try it some day, but my irons up to driver are ripping atm.
I have no irons in my bag except for wedges. I play Driver, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 woods, 7, 8, 9, hybrid, PW, SW, LW, putter. As fairway woods were/are the strongest part of my game and irons the weakest, I got rid of my irons and now play fairway woods and hybrids. Yes, I can chip just fine with the 7-9 hybrid. I use them like a putter. my 3 wedge lofts are 48, 53, 58 degrees - exactly 5 degrees difference per club. I've used this setup ever since 2003. I am perhaps the first mini tour pro ever to use hybrids instead of irons in America (when they were first made 4 hybrid - 9).
Golf hound no one gives a fuck about you slapping hybrids about 😂
@@golfhound interesting I’m the opposite, I find irons with steel shafts workable and give me the best feel. I can close my eyes and know the yardage.
@@golfhoundwhat brand clubs are they
Be pretty cool having like a pit crew of staff watching and analyzing and just working on make a club perfect for you and your swing…granted they get very ill seeing mine haha, However if I was a pro, that be a cool perk.
I love watching Tommy hit a golf ball, easily one of the best swings in the game. Buttery
Three quarter back swing...just like Rahm
He's one of my favorites to watch simply for that swing. Not to mention his humble and thoughtful personality.
I thought his thing was more choking down and cutting off the follow through.
@@gerrycampbell2031 interestingly Rahm says he developed that swing because he was born with a club foot on his right side and he loses all stability if he tries to go for a full back swing
Very informative and interesting what Tommy was saying very honest and humble towards Taylormade and the Staff. Hands up✋. Plus all behind the scene's stuff by Taylormade probably other brands may do the same . But it was great and made sense what he was saying
I'd say the club techs are closer to racing engineers than mechanics. Always looking at performance and suggesting how to trim the equipment to optimize performance.
I have an OLD Ping G2 7 wood and I LOVE it. Hit it about 230 yards, it goes really high and comes down really soft.
I have to admit, I was a high handicapper before I fine tuned a couple of adjustments on my clubs. Really miniscule details like roughing up a shiny patch on the hood of my driver that used to give off terrible glare on a sunny day. Now I'm +3 and always encourage people to first take a look at your equipment when looking to improve
Haha.
Love seeing "Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect" on display!!
I still have Taylormade V-Steel 7 wood the easiest wood to hit high off the deck with good distance in the bag at times I prefer it over my 3 wood.
V-Steel is the GOAT fairway wood imo
Looking forward to seeing the round you play together. Think 10 strokes is a little steep.
Yep, golf can move towards being like f1) Ferrari vs redbull / Taylor vs Titleist
Rick shields I am sure you don't read all comments but I have been. watching your videos for years and you have really helped me continue improving year after year. I am am one of those left handed hitters and wondering if maybe one day you would want to do a left handed club giveaway. "Evenroll putter" lol. Just a thought because on many channels I see giveaways but no one ever includeds us south paws. Maybe make a good thumb nail. Left handed club giveaway
Rick blown away by that point
Love a 7 wood. Put one in the Bag for 2021 and won’t look back. 👍🏼
JMO I believe Rory played better when he played Titleist.
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing this!
Tommy is my favourite golfer ever
As often as those clubs are used,,, practice, practice rounds, tournaments hopefully all four days, being shipped around from place to place, and thats just one week, yeah not a bad idea to keep them tuned up. I rarely see any PGA tour player with all 14 clubs the same brand on those WITB websites.
Gotta have at least one Vokey shoved in there no matter the sponsor..😆
great interview.. thanks guys! Tommy's air max 95's look like he just took them out of the box in that room! Even the soles are clean! can you confirm that? i mean u said its snowy and crappy outside so the soles would be a little dirty at least. (I'm a big shoe guy , just something i notice.... Thanks again!)
Steel shafted calloway stealhead lll 5 wood i got in bargain bin for £10 i think, hit it 238-247+ off the deck, only wood ive ever been able to hit off the deck, i dont even bother trying to hit 3 off the deck
My “club guy” would look at my “swing coach”, throw his hands up and say “not MY problem, you fix him”.
My absolute favorite golfer
Lovely stuff! Good to see Tommy
I'm guessing there's also a big box of money involved.
I love my 7 wood
Such a great athlete
Great information
Nice having a club mechanic.
Interesting. That would help keep you being consistent and confidence level high.
Almost like having a pit crew for golf.
Tell me a good club doesn't make a difference. I feel it definitely does make a difference..
Is that Bob Rotella on the coffee table?
Why’s there a number on the inside of the door?
I am willing to let Taylormade be my mechanic.
I cant stand when you tube golf reviewers are so critical about equipment when they hit only a hand full of balls. It especially erks me when theyre hitting a true players iron and complain about distance and them not being long 😂 its like dude what are you saying? I hit my srixon z785 7 iron 180 and I hit my current 7 iron Cobra MB 160 yards but my gapping with cobras are 10 yards apart instead of 15 yards and I added my 4 iron this time to fill my gapping. I know from experience the p750s are amazing and with the nspro 120 shafts they launch super high
If players could be multiple club brand sponsored they’d probably rake in the money
Having a "club mechanic" who's constantly checking your speed, lies, angles, etc. is a golfer's wet dream. Curious how often Tommy finds his equipment being tweaked...i.e. how often is the TaylorMade pit crew saying "Tommy, we're gonna change this or that on this club because we think it's gonna make a difference." Be curious to know how often they're changing things up a little bit. Marginal gains are important gains for pro golfers I imagine.
Or do they just make the changes to loft and lie automatically if they see it has moved from his settings? Visually he would not be able to see any difference
Tommy took my grandpas shoes, I'm calling the shoe police
Your grandpas got more swag than you then
@@bex1909 prolly so
Who are the two with hats?
In Fleetwoods case it was likely bc the off course OEM money was so big he couldn't care if his on course money went tits up
Tommy top bloke.
Do you think there will be a time when a pro might employ their own specialist to manage and monitor their equipment, in the same way they employ a coach to manage and monitor their swing or a psychologist to manage the mental side of their game, or have the manufacturers cornered this aspect of the market? I.e. are all the equipment specialists already employed by the manufacturers.
I would think it is a selling point to the pros. "If you sign with us, this service is provided." I know two high level college players who were offered similar 'specialist/analyst' positions by a manufacturer. As usual, the benefits were excellent but pay was crap. However, it looks good on a resume.
Sounds like there could be a new career opportunity for aspiring players who don't make it to the pros. Serve a number of pros with analytics so they don't have to commit to one brand. Like Rick said, it's very unlikely one brand will be able to provide the right clubs to suit a pro across the whole bag
Funny how he mentions his 7 wood. 🙂🤙🏻🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Rick do you ever answer personal questions about golf to give some tips or ideas that might help? Just wondering because if so I have one that might confuse you a bit. i have tried finding a solution on my own but not much luck. Maybe your wisdom could help?
Hey Tommy!!
Go tommy go
Free agents would just hire someone to be the "mechanic"
Best swing best caddies Best coaches and they still need intensive week to week club fitting. And people wonder why off the shelf retailing is dead.
Oi Tommy win the 150th open
It's an obsessive compulsive disorder game
They check and do all of that because they want you to win with their clubs so they can sell more of them
I say One club challenge against Tommy
I think he did one a few years ago...
They already have.
Inside guys, take your bloody caps off🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
💯💯💯👌🏼
Hi Rick. Giz a like and make me feel special pal!!! 👌🏼
Thanks Bud! Love the content and the podcast - had to grovel for a like though and I'm not even sorry. Made me as happy as my 8 year old would be if she got a like from Rihanna!
Hahaha well done and congratulations haha.
MONEY!!
Absolutely! Even this post is all about the ready’s
Well the pros today cannot even pick a club on their own. I cannot imagine Hogan or Snead asking a caddy for anything but yardages. Now they need cheerleaders and counselors. They were pros and proud of it.
500 dollar drivers, 1200 dollar irons....just so these guys can have a "pit crew"....how nice for them. If you still end up missing a 2 foot putt none of that matters. The game will never be mastered.
Ah the way crap works, these golfers have a team working for them and golfers pay for it by buying 500$ drivers. That is why I buy a used driver for 50$
100 percent!
Is that you, radar?
@@WafflesportsUK ah, you’re onto things. Nope, Just happen to be fortunate to share his name. Also, Wayne Gretzky’s exact birthday. but, neither has been helpful to me. Keep swinging.
I’ll save you guys 5 mins, the answer is money
Lemme guess, they get paid a shitload of money to?
They are touring top pros ! And they are sponsored ! They can get what they want and companies are dying for them to use their equipment ! Local tours pros if they find one brand equipment is helping they they all ask for it .🤷♂️
Because theyre sponsored its that simple. theyre paid to use all one brand
This guy is as exciting as a load of laundry.
They use one brand because they are paid million to, easy 😂
It's amazing how clueless Rick is...
Why’s that pal?
Is that Bob Rotella on the coffee table?
