@@diefachfrau, repeating the steps are easy. Knowing what an adjustment would do to a particular players feel for the club is totally different - and that's what I would say is tremendously complex. Sure, I could put the tape on and send it to the caddy, but if the caddy came back and said "Rory wants the grip to feel more like the grip on the Srixon woods from 2017" I'd have absolutely no clue what to do.
@@joshdeane8299 it's more about teaching/going into depth about the various processes, parts, tools, etc. that it takes to build Rory's driver -- not just putting a club together. You hitting them okay? Stealth might help.
What an education by a guy who obviously knows his stuff and loves his job! Thanks for all the tips and for slowing it down so we could watch you work. Don't know how you can do it so perfectly while talking the entire time. 5 Stars to you and Taylormade!
Sounds like a pneumatic grip station not hydraulic as he said. He doesn't really know his stuff honestly just going through basic motions of cutting and gluing. Then he goes and touches the shaft while putting the head cover on... after banging on about removing fingerprints and not touching it XD
That was really cool! I used to sit in my Grandpa's shop when he set up clubs in the 70's and 80's. Whipping on persimmon woods and pinned hosels on blades. Both era's is an art form and fun to see done professionally.
As someone who's built many clubs on the floor of my apt, this was interesting content. Learned some things, including how a pro gets all the glue to go into the hosel
@@elijahmeinhard4780 I assume this is because of the physics related to swinging a golf club. The epoxy is out at the head of the club, so you need to be more exact but because the extra tape is directly next to his hand, it’s negligible. But I also don’t know anything about golf so I could be wrong.
Amazing. It takes allot of talent and skill to do what you do for making the Pro's clubs. And also have the right club making tools to do your job. First video I have watched in how this is all done. Thanks for the video process.
I love playing with hand built clubs.. I have all my clubs hand built from a kid out of China.. I know it’s a bit more expensive, but love the special attention they put into my clubs…
Chap is wearing a Rolex submariner with the 'Kermit' dial that go from 30-45 thousand dollars makes me feel even Taylormade appreciates his passion, as much as we viewers do!
First of all, it's not a "Kermit" dial. The dial is black like every single other sub, its the bezel being green which gives it that nickname. Secondly, they typically go for a bit under 20K so your price range is way off
@@tombart4985 my mistake with the incorrect terminology, I'll give you that. By the time my writing (10 months ago, where were you?) I had seen these go at an auction for that gapping. Maybe they were a special ref. Idk. Cheers anyways.
@@tombart4985 That's definitely a "Kermit". He used the wrong termanology, but green bezel and black dial is a Kermit. Also, he could've bought it 20 years ago. Not everyone wearing a Rolex is rich.
Very cool 😎 speaking of swing weight I built a titleist 910D3 with a 2 gram weigh fujikura rombax 7Z08 tipped and it goes a mile harder to middle but when you do it goes real good 🚀
Weight in the back would be higher spin, higher moi... more weight in the overall head anywhere would be more energy transfer - correct? (Changing the weight closer to the club face would lower the spin)
Dude is just grinding off a bit of clear coat and using epoxy to attach a head. Add in a smattering of techno branding 'VX Core-Plus Range 2.0' etc and Bob's your uncle.
I always enjoy Trottie's videos and I think I should be working there too im very good at working on golf clubs grips,shafts etc I am a TaylorMade man 😉
He does a fantastic job of building a golf club. I did not see anywhere in the video as to where he spine aligned the shaft. Most shaft manufacturors don't align the logo with the spine of the shaft. Just wondering about that. RUclips has a spine align segment also.
At some point you have to hold the club 🤷🏻♂️…. It’s tour so finger prints on the shaft that can be wiped off aren’t as crucial as build spec. Don’t worry it’s going to be wiped again before it leaves to the winner 👍🏻
@@trottiegolf Oh I know, its just funny because its seconds after saying don't touch it. And I can tell you're OCD like me too so it makes me chuckle on every build video you do it
My Sim 2 just exploded after only a couple rounds of golf. Kinda ridiculous that you need the original receipt for Taylormade to honor the warranty. Why does it matter who bought it? Stand behind your product. Thankfully, golfer's warehouse has GREAT customer service and replaced the club within 5 minutes of me getting there, no questions asked
The torque stays the same since torque is a measurement taken from the entire shaft. Tipping it makes the Ventus Black 6 X stiffer. They make a TX flex, but tipping the X 1” takes it just under the TX flex. Tipping is a way to alter the flex of the shaft to put it in between 2 flexes. Rory almost certainly tried out the X, the x tipped 1/2”, tipped 1” then the TX and found the one that gets him the launch and spin at optimal numbers and fits a feel he also likes.
this guy deserves every single penny that TaylorMade pays him. Love the passion.

@@holyworrier professional golf, sir
he did all of that without even thinking about it. hes an absolute wizard when it comes to golf clubs. very fun to watch.
I’ve fallen asleep to you building dustins driver more times than I’d like to admit 😂 these videos are oddly calming.
Admit it cause you’re not alone. As we speak I’m about to nap
I’ve done the same thing numerous times man 😂😂
hoping trottie sees this
I just did
Same
This was fascinating. Had no idea that making a golf club has such a specific and even complex process
What’s complex in this video? Could do everyone after one day.
@@diefachfrau lol.. right
Its not actually .

No one does a tutorial/informational like Trottie.
Ya he's really good at making it look like he's doing something other then snapping some already made together

Wow 🤩
I used to refinish woods when I was a kid.
Love these club building videos. The detail, skill and depth of knowledge from @trottiegolf is amazing!
I work at a golf shop and my main job is to regrip and lengthen/cut clubs, so watching someone else do it for a pro is so cool.
Man, these build videos are soo good! I don't follow golf too much, but there's something about these vids!
Sad seeing tiger’s grip cubbie empty 😔
it wasnt empty
almost empty*
Love watching you build these clubs Trottie. Too bad you couldn't do a video of you building a set of Irons.
Keep up the great vids sir.
This was really cool! Next time I get fit for a new club I’m going to tell the fitter I want to do it all myself!
Damn this video is just great, the craftmanship and the touch! Unreal!
Great, now I know how to put a driver together in my tour van
Gold 😂

He worries about the weight of the tiny bit of epoxy but just shoved the excess tape in the end
Came here for this exact comment. 😂😂😂

@@Twixinator101 so is the weight of the epoxy tbh but there’s a bit of an OCD/perfectionist mentality with club builders. Not that that’s a bad thing.
Wow that’s a master at work! Thanks for the video!!
More video like this please. I really enjoyed watching you building these clubs for the pros.
“And for my own personal sanity, we’re gonna put the weight in the centre.” Classic line Trottie, could not agree more.
Would love to see you build some of Sergio’s clubs and give some insight on his unconventional builds
That was fun to watch, i do all of my own and my friends grips. Thanks for the tips.
So much technology and precision! I love to see it!
Watching this guys craft is amazing 😻

Fascinating stuff, who’d have known it was such an exact science! 👏😀👍
The honey really helps Rory find the sweet spot when he hits driver.
Excellent content, TaylorMade! Thank you.
Brilliant job - thanks for the gripping tips too !

This is a super interesting video, thanks for showing
He treats the club like he's getting a weapon ready for a solider at war 🤔🤔 such care and finesse 🤗👍🏽💯
Beautiful job, great knowledge, Thanks Man,
absolutely mesmerizing, every single time
Great video as usual. Thanks for posting it.
I worked as a club builder and club fitter for 10 years before i left the industry during COVID. Damn, do i miss it.
One shot, one take. Well done!
This man is truly a "craftsman".
Pretty interesting to see! Great vid.
Make golf club building so easy 👌 well done team taylormade my favourite company 👍
Love this content!! So Specific!!
This was very cool to see! Thank you!
Your a talented lad you trottie ⛳️⛳️👍👍great vid
Omg, I can’t wait to get my fitting! This is incredible!
Great video. This guy's always cool to listen to.
They do a great job with these. Unfiltered, just a craftsman doing his thing. Learn so much without hearing all the buzzwords
Anyone else just watch these builds with hands on face, elbows on table with a giddy look? Asking for a friend
Facinatingly amazing!!
If they can feel grip tape ridges through MCC ridges that’s next level.
Trottie is the best.
Curious how often you build a driver for the tour players and how often they change out clubs. Like driver for instance
Thanks for the detail.
As a tennis player It’s super interesting to learn about the gear OCD of other sports
Trottie vs Wade fastest build please. Trottie boy is great, but Wade is the Man!!!! Rockstar Wade!!!!
Very cool 😎 speaking of swing weight I built a titleist 910D3 with a 2 gram weigh fujikura rombax 7Z08 tipped and it goes a mile harder to middle but when you do it goes real good 🚀
Love that Rolex trottie!
Amazing video. Thank you
Great vid Chris
Perfection, you rock!
i didnt know shit about building a driver but i do now!
I've seen this guy with at least 2 different later model ROLEXES on these vids .
Weight in the back would be higher spin, higher moi... more weight in the overall head anywhere would be more energy transfer - correct? (Changing the weight closer to the club face would lower the spin)
Are these shafts pre-spined from the factory? Or in the case of Rory (and maybe others) do they find spining to be unnecessary?
Yes
Thanks!
Nice watch! 😎
Such a cool job
Trottie the goat
love these videos!
Love the video and my Stealth Plus Driver! Side question.. Where can I buy that hat? TMG doesn't have it on their website :(
Incredible craftsmanship,that's not just building a golf club,it's pure science.
Amazing video and so well presented and explained. 👏👏👏

The PR machine at it's best.
Amazing video and info! Now please drive that guy and truck to Omaha and fit me! 🙂
Gimli making drivers now.
@11:20, set up a laser jig to match it to the club head.
If the TM truck wasn't enough of a flex, Trottie has to be out here building clubs with a Starbucks on!
I always enjoy Trottie's videos and I think I should be working there too im very good at working on golf clubs grips,shafts etc I am a TaylorMade man 😉
I would like to have one just exactly like his ⚡
Another club build on 🔥 trottie and TM! We know your pushing Rory and DJ as your “face”, but push out some builds of the 🐐 Tiger Woods’ clubs.
Boom 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love this
Great video. Makes me what to sell my R11 and get a new taylor made
You should do a event where 10-20 fans makes a club for Rory and Rory is the judge and decides what which club is the best
Love these driver builds. Other clubs don’t seem to hold the same interest for me that driver does. Great vid!
Amazed you use the decal for alignment! the paint jobs are applied with no regard to shaft orientation, you should really be checking for spine.
I want one. Get my handicap down into the 20s, for sure.
He does a fantastic job of building a golf club. I did not see anywhere in the video as to where he spine aligned the shaft. Most shaft manufacturors don't align the logo with the spine of the shaft. Just wondering about that. RUclips has a spine align segment also.
What are all the MDD and MMDD with up and down arrows that Morikawa uses?
This is amazing.
Yet again I’m laughing at how you wipe it all down and then proceed to touch the shaft to put on the head cover after saying don’t touch the shaft 🤣🤣
At some point you have to hold the club 🤷🏻♂️…. It’s tour so finger prints on the shaft that can be wiped off aren’t as crucial as build spec. Don’t worry it’s going to be wiped again before it leaves to the winner 👍🏻

Interesting video. So during assembly, no concerns about the spine location of the shaft?
Hey Trottie 👌🏻Taking an inch off how much torque does it take off ??
Ventus black 6x is a 3.1 torque what would it go to then tipping ??
The torque stays the same since torque is a measurement taken from the entire shaft. Tipping it makes the Ventus Black 6 X stiffer. They make a TX flex, but tipping the X 1” takes it just under the TX flex. Tipping is a way to alter the flex of the shaft to put it in between 2 flexes. Rory almost certainly tried out the X, the x tipped 1/2”, tipped 1” then the TX and found the one that gets him the launch and spin at optimal numbers and fits a feel he also likes.
