RIGGS IS CURED! HE CAN NOW HIT DRIVER!

- The 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:

I’ve never seen Riggs swing like he is on this video. It’s slowed down and smooth, not so choppy
The BEST in the business, Sir Trottie!
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!
Riggs that swing at the end makes me happy.. way to always help trottie!! Big fan
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. 😮
watching trottie has helped me talk to fitters and my coach with feedback they can use to help my game. Much appreciated.
Best swings I’ve seen Riggs take. Good job fellas.
Great video Trottie, hope you come out with more like this!
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.
Thx Mike, appreciate the comment fella
I like Riggs, bless his heart. I’ll give him 8 handicap. He’s putting the work in
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!
The positivity Trottie has is half the battle in a fitting!
Just one of those sessions would be a dream great content guys
Atta boy Riggs, great video Trottie!
Here to be a fan instead of a H8er! Love the 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
Trottie, you're an absolute genius!!
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
Riggs bringing the energy out there!
I used to hate on Riggs but his swing has gotten so much better
Building confidence. Love to see it
I need a Trottie in my life. Love the positivity!
This guy is a great man to work with.
Very cool
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! 😂
Maybe one day. " Onion Certified " 🤔
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
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.
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
@@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
@@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.
Love Trottie! Close the stance and path solved 👏🏻
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.
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.
Awesome work guys!
Riggs, best I’ve ever seen you swing it. Curious, why no carry distance numbers?
That is odd.
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?
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.
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.
Great video as usual.
Great simple tips!
Riggs doesn't need a fitting. He needs a complete swing reconstruction first. That's not how the body's supposed to move.
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
It is crazy how its taken this long for someone to give him a few drills to swing to the right
Trottie😊 if you ever make it up to Michigan, I’d love a lesson
Great video.... but I'm so confused about why there's an owl statue sitting there on the range. LOL
It’s to scare away birds and squirrels.
Im confused to why the distance he was hitting the ball was not mentioned once.
Because he’s carrying it 210
@@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.
Frankie likes it
You said it consistently decent shot which is my problem as a newer golfer im not consistent enough in my mind to get fitted
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.
Great work
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
We know but he scores way worse and also more bad shots than good shots. We know a 15 hcp when we see one
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
Trottie need more numbers like trackman. Club head speed, ball speed, and distance. The content is more interesting seeing the whole picture
I thin he very consiously chooses not to do that for some players
I've pinned it in the comments
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
He wouldn’t have the haters if he was just truthful with his handicap lmao. That’s basically the only thing people give him hate for
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+?
Okay, the SDR glove looked tasty 👀
All of the lessons and fittings he's had and no one has tried to change Rigg's grip?
Agree--- his grip looks terrible.
there’s our guy 📈
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.
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 😂
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
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.
That 12 handicap can’t be fixed with even the genius that is Trottie
Has been painful watching Riggs driver lately 😂 Good video…
I have nothing against Riggs but if he is a 4 what is Frankie? A +2?!!
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.
Did i miss it, or did we not get any yardage from his driver? Probably a solid 220 carry, nothing wrong with that.
16:23: SMOKED! (Yes all caps on purpose)
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?
Swing is looking much better Riggs
Would love to have a day at The Kingdom with Trottie.
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
With all the equipment and tips these guys get you’d think they’d get better. You can’t always lead the horse to water.
Miracle worker
Love trottie!
this was awesome
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.
whats your handicap? just curious
@@ohhdanni9422I agree with him to be honest! Love rigs but he definitely hands in his best score cards 😂😂
@@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.
My index is 4.2. I would destroy Riggs straight up. Like I would destroyed by a +4. Play for money keeps the handicap honest
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
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.🏌️⛳️
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
Good job Riggs!! Man i'd pay two months salary for an hour with the legend trottie!!
There is reason no ball speed or distance numbers were shared folks
👍🏻😂

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..
No more Nike @Trottie? Malbon threads looking good
Hey trottie, I don’t know what a few horses is but I found out a group of parrots is a pandemonium
The collective noun for horses is herd, occsionally harras.
@@Pud56was a joke from a previous video
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?
Is there a reason you didn’t show the yardage?
4.......
Has Riggs ever broken 80 on camera? I know Frankie has a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything in the 70s from Riggs.
Not one yardage shown on all those drivers, Riggsy asked them to keep his 200 carrys on the down low... 😉
Don't get me wrong I love you my brother!😊
So what ball does he play?
Riggs please play me off a 4 handicap. I’m a straight up 15 handicap and I bet i bet you without strokes. With stokes we are done after 9 holes
Riggs grip is super weak unless i'm seeing things. It just looks odd but he's flushing it! No right or wrong.
Where’s the ball speed, club speed, and distance numbers?
Well done Chris 👏 😊
Nice glove Riggsy 😏
Where can that training aid be purchased?
It’s perfect
Thanks.

Sun Day Red glove???
if Riggs is a 4 handicap then my 7 handicap is a +2 by his standards.
What sweatshirt is Riggs wearing?
Riggs is just so steep. It’s the reason his irons and wedges are decent but his woods and driver are slices. If he could learn to hit up on a drive he might actually be
he posts every round he plays in either the grint or something like that. I don’t stalk him so I don’t have the exact location
Anyone know the name of that training aid they are using?

Irons!
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!
Good video, but it's such an anachronism for fitters to speak as if a golf ball (or any sphere) was able to spin in two directions at the same time. There is no "backspin and sidespin" as separate values. And it's not even useful to think that way. There's a spin number, and a spin axis. If a player is already spinning the ball enough to keep it on a stable trajectory, and their spin axis is causing deviation to right or left, adding spin will increase those forces and increase L/R dispersion. You can't somehow magically add ONLY backspin and make it go straighter. On the other hand if the golfer's spin axis is within proper L/R variance (more vertically oriented) the yes adding more total spin will tighten up trajectory and reduce variance in dispersion.
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.
