Erik Anders Lang WITB / Kingdom Fitting

When the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Beau Hossler, and Jon Rahm want to get dialed in, they come to The Kingdom.
TaylorMade invites Erik Anders Lang down to The Kingdom for a PGA Tour caliber golf club fitting experience. The Kingdom is a state-of-the-art practice facility located at the TaylorMade headquarters in Carlsbad, CA that includes an indoor simulator with 4D motion capture technology, indoor hitting bay, putting lab, and full outdoor practice range complete with real greens and a short game area.
Erik gives us a full What’s In The Bag after he gets dialed in to show off the new upgrades and learns what it really means to be a part of the TaylorMade Family.

Glad you enjoyed your experience at The Kingdom, Erik! And welcome to #TeamTaylorMade!

TaylorMade Golf so Erik how’s about an old club giveaway!! 2017 m1 did me well, but it might be time to update

[@RK-nb8vi]

TaylorMade Golf I see a new Gapr! I really need a club between my 4 iron and 3 wood. But need something that keeps it low. Where Can i try this club!! I cant find anywhere to test it, in Kansas City

[@drewp.weiner2473]

TaylorMade Golf taylormade clubs are booty

[@robertcampbellgolf]

I still remember going to the Kingdom and I was Perry Dickey first ever fitting. It was his first week at the Kingdom and a tour pro showed up so they had Perry do my fitting. Billy Hurley was next to me hitting balls and was in the navy doing his military commitment before he turned pro.

[@JayPee570]

Hopefully he kept the Miu.a

"I've seen a couple of swings already, that 6 Handicap......you must be a terrible putter" Ah, the ol' Burn-compliment

[@scotthaydon6050]

Shoulda said the opposite, you must be an amazing putter. Too offset the terrible swing.

[@garettzurliene7543]

He couldn’t talk for a bit before he got that sentence out😂

[@Zgembo121]

"the sandwich"

[@franckayala9267]

If this video was 4 hours long I would've watched every second of it

[@matt9906]

Props to Taylormade for giving a set of clubs. So legit. Legit company supporting its online creators.

[@sethlynch89]

How is there only 33k subscribers? Best golf content on KZbin

[@hanleyagolf]

I don't get it either. The boy has talent

[@mjsgolf7004]

I agree, sctarch my head wondering and still can't figure it out

[@nzsticky]

Agree. He is great and delivers content in a different way to anyone else, which is cool. All channels start slow though. It will start growing exponentially. Love it EAL!

[@michellesatterly2386]

This channel is new still. Less than a year old. It growing fast

[@Quetorials]

golf is just in a bad spectator era.

[@adamlittle595]

This is literally the coolest thing ever. So many golfers would kill for an experience like this. Also, the "you must be a terrible putter" comment was GOLD.

[@JadenWhetzel]

EAL is the Casey Neistat of golf.

[@phildeeha]

Well said

[@stuartelias1112]

Dude, Erik lives the absolute dream man.

[@kalbiggins7460]

Love it when Erik mentions Rick when the birds eye view pops up, Golf buddies for life!

[@bjmihovk]

Dude hides the Nike box to show only Adidas at 1:58...hilarious.

[@BaylorCaughornBTC]

so glad I'm not the only one that noticed this! too funny

[@Keensensepersonaltraining]

And by doing that, the Nike box stood out more lol. Who knows, maybe Nike paid him to do that. A little ambush marketing goes a long way.

[@Mrbeast0099]

muppet watcher haha so is puma then

[@CJD666]

@muppet watcher They were always brothers!

[@thowa1]

@muppet watcher they didn't design, but they did produce them.

[@docomo661]

Absolutely the best feeling in the world getting that set of new clubs and putting them in the bag! Followed by the worst feeling in the world when you scuff the toe and hosel cuz you can't find the middle of the club face.

[@drewpurvis4195]

The thing I love about @Erik Anders Lang is that he is genuine and human like the rest of us. Gets custom fitted for a full set of TaylorMade golf clubs, then crawls around on the office floor to load up the bag @ 19:32 Totally something I would do. Thanks for keeping it real!

[@JadenWhetzel]

i’ve watched this like 3 times. could watch this all day

[@ForetoFourGolf]

I'm not sure how you guys do it, but every time I watch a video on this channel it raises the bar again. Love your work!

[@mikewhite255]

This is the coolest thing golf related i have ever seen ... im not even gonna pretend to not be envious of this experience.

[@garyhovey9305]

Loved seeing the child-like enthusiasm when changing out the clubs........super exciting episode 👍🏼🥂

[@BrodieSmithGolf]

Bro I just did the same thing. It was wild seeing how accurate the movement synced up. Some very cool stuff.

[@RandomGolfClubFilms]

Fun for tweakers that's for sure. See you in Ireland my guy

[@eoinryan4455]

@@RandomGolfClubFilms When are you coming to Ireland Erik, whats the plan?

[@gregtuohy5169]

Erik- This is awesome. Had no idea your parents lived in Reynolds. I was an instructor at Reynolds Golf Academy (shared the building with The Kingdom) and Great Waters for a few years and LOVED my life until student loans forced me to leave the business. The TM staff bag is still in my garage. Glad your folks are in an amazing golf community and excited for your sticks... that fitting process is second to NONE!

[@touristguy87]

"LOVED my life until student loans forced me to leave the business." I'll bet that you loved borrowing money to stay in college while taking basket-weaving classes, too.

[@LostArkitekt]

It cracks me up the people that give "Thumbs Down" to these videos...if you don't like EAL, then don't watch. I have a pretty fun golf history, and I picked the clubs that were the best bang for my buck, and I love my Mizuno irons and Callaway wedges, but I'd say that that experience has to be one of the sickest in which a golfer could partake!

[@SamBrown76]

I’m a Titleist guy, but I have to admit that this one made me pretty jealous. I’m happy for you!

[@ironsideeve2955]

I wish i could speak with their physicists

[@itsuxs2beu]

You are living the dream, my dude. I can't get enough of these videos. I caught myself sitting there smiling with excitement and enjoyment as if I was right there in your shoes. That is something special you are doing right there. Much love.

[@duckncover182]

Im 31, I’ve been playing golf for almost 30 years. I’ve had my junior clubs and 2 sets of hand me downs. I bought my first set of new clubs 3 years ago, the last Nike clubs, and it was the best decision I ever made for golf. The technology is amazing and really pushed me to play more and take the game more seriously while having tons more fun too

[@touristguy87]

...and see this is the entire idea that really bothers me about "fitting", how is it supposed to make that big of a deal that people who have never been fitted much less have never bought a whole set of fitted clubs, would want to go that route because they will enjoy the game so much more than when they play with their "non-fitted" clubs? Here's the thing. If as a complete noob I play golf for even a year, say. Am I really going to enjoy it a lot more if I pay $10k for either lessons or fitted gear? I know for sure that if I had to sink $10k into golf when I first started, just to enjoy it, I wouldn't have been playing for long. The point is that I enjoyed playing golf even though I sucked, badly, for a long time, and i was playing with a $250 set of "custom" irons (PM-II heads on standard-flex steel shafts at $25 each), a generic putter and a $50 driver that i got at a golf trade show.. Since then I've bought one used set of "real clubs" (Titelist) and at least 4 3-woods and 4 drivers each. Over 25 years of playing golf and enjoying it immensely. Maybe 2 or 3 times over that 25 years I really felt that I had to get new gear to enjoy the game because i was frustrated and making no headway in terms of self-improvement, and almost every time that I get that feeling it's that I have to get a better driver or 3-wood. Recently it was a 60 deg wedge and it took me 2 tries to get a wedge that I liked (love, actually). The other 99.999% of the time I knew that I had to improve my swing, my ball-striking and my shot-selection. I just don't see the benefit of getting fitted if it inherently means buying new gear. Then it's not about the fitting, it's about the gear. And I'm not going down that rabbit-hole. It sounds to me like it's an opportunity for the gear mfgs to get players into their "fitting rooms" and give them some advice on both their game and their gear and of course be there to sell them some new gear when they want it. And so how much are they spending to shave a few strokes per round? Are they shaving *any* strokes per round?

[@Evan-ol5vz]

Nothing like making your forged clubs truly yours by giving them witness marks as you smash them into your bag! Looking prime E!

[@adamarmstrong7718]

Genuine joy and any golfer viewing this can feel it. Keep up the great work Eric. 👍🏻

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Awesome video Erik. And great to meet you yesterday mate ⛳️👍🏼🎥🔥

[@gerryleiper7403]

Loving the Jones Golf Bag.

[@commane21]

Have you every been more excited and happy and giddy?? Too funny!

[@Psprowl91]

Ugh.. so jealous. I live 20 minutes away from there. Looks like such a great experience dude!!

[@timc424]

Just like the kid in the candy store. What a fun experience! Glad you could share with us.

[@MrZebramonkey]

How are there people who see a video like this and not subscribe?

[@MrWildapil]

if you are going to throw out the old ones... Send them to Canada... I know a bag ... errr ... place that will take them.... I received a full fitting 18 years ago, before kids. I am sad to say I have very few rounds on those sticks. The process has changed so much! Thank you for sharing the amaaaaazing experience!

[@jeffburns3390]

Great video... Shows TM more as a family then just a marketing machine. Great stuff!

[@jachconi]

What an amazing experience. Been through a lot over the past few years and finding golf has transformed me in ways I never expected. I am a Taylormade customer as well and hope one day to be able to experience a fitting at any level let alone like this one!! Thanks for sharing.

[@ParTrain]

Got home from work and was like “man I really hope EAL uploaded a new video.” Dreams do come true

[@ryanmcguire1551]

Got lured in by Kevin (Brian) golfing with you and loving the content! This Kingdom experience is too unreal. Needed this after a long Monday with golf a handful of days out - thank you.

[@aceman7snorey]

Picked my doctor soley based on the fact that his office overlooks the kingdom and you can watch every one hit while you're waiting😂

[@simpedros4766]

Another awesome video. Your channel and badgolf are the best golf channels on KZbin. Great to have both ends of the spectrum to watch. Yours is how we all want to live / play and badgolf is how we really play (but still love golf).

[@dylanharrington744]

Watched a great vid of Trottie on the Tour Bus, awesome Technician.

[@randyhodgson7254]

Dope I love the production you and they guys put into the videos sets you apart from most. Keep up the great work 👍🏻⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️

Erik watching your golf career go from strength to strength is almost biblical and i don't think it could have happened to a cooler guy , also you're swing is looking ridiculous right now sooo silky smooth .. i was just telling my girlfriend i wish i could split myself into three to have more time and dedication to my three love girlfriend golf and graffiti the three G's pretty crazy i golf and do graffiti . anyway just wanted to say watching your content makes me just as happy as playing a round or painting a piece ... thanks for everything you do bro .. all the way from kent england

[@robertsalazar5874]

This was amazing. Like a kid in a candy store. I can only dream of that experience! congrats Erik

Great insight into the process and "the kingdom". It's like you invited us into a secret men's club and filmed it all!

[@mcounts20]

Dude this is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. You’re so talented man!

[@brettcoates2980]

I did a TaylorMade lab fitting in Melbourne Australia a couple of years ago, and you are exactly right it is an awesome experience, but sadly i didn't come away with a Unicorn! Great video as always.

[@bluettpaul82]

I just started watching your videos travel golf culture awesome job but this video got me so excited for spring ⛳

[@dustinacheson86]

Literally my dream set of clubs. Your channel is rad.

[@RK-nb8vi]

Love it. I just got fitted for the first time. Same shafts on driver, Mizuno 190. And Callawy Apex forged. project x shaft stiff. Loving life after I got my new clubs

[@chiefnakoma]

Excited to see your game with the new clubs. Got fitted for the first time with the taylormade motion equipment as well 2 years ago and it made such a difference in my game. Went from breaking 80 a few times per summer to breaking 80 consistently. I am 6'4'' and I was playing clubs that were way too short and flat. I did feel like a kid on Christmas morning when the clubs came in.

[@dboyswitten82]

That's awesome. What a experience that must have been.

[@Tlhakxza]

Erik great experience you’ve just shared here and thank you for opening the door to some of us who have/had no clue about the existence of THE KINGDOM. I love and respect TM(Drivers and Fairway Woods) just yesterday I upscaled from M4 and now have M6(Driver and Fairway Woods). However,as beautiful and advanced as well as Friendly Personnel as THE KINGDOM is...to me the MIURA Fitting was by far THE BEST fitting experience I’ve ever seen and would pay an arm and a leg to experience.To tell you the honest truth,I didn’t know much about MIURA until I took time to watch that video and man ever since that day,I fell in love with MIURA.As is I’m saving up to get myself a set,I’m saving to fly to 🇯🇵 and have that one on one experience with the founder,have already opened comm’s and all is looking good,I just have to get myself there. All the best with your TM babies and congrats on being their newest member. Respect✌🏿🇿🇦

I’ve been there and did my fitting with Duane. He’s is an awesome fitter and the experience is like nothing I’ve done before.

[@mattleader821]

Eric I changed from longer PSI irons to a P730 PW to 8 iron then P760 7 to 4 iron ...I too have lost about a club length in distance but I agree the dispersion front to back is so much more consistent. I love hitting full and 3/4 shots with the P730 they look so good behind the ball and the feel and sound they produce is 😍... play well with yours...
