Would love to actually hear the name/models/weights of the shafts and why/how you arrived at those decisions during the fitting and not just at the end. You said "moving to a shaft that is a little softer in the tip". I'm wondering what you started with and what you went to to get that. I can see Ventus, but is it a TR -> Stock? Weight change? etc

[@freddym6643]

So mason goes driver, mini driver, 3 iron? Is the driver set up for fade and mini for draw? Is the 3 iron like the set or a utility? I'm thinking of maybe doing a very short, quite heavy 13 degree 2 wood as a second tee club. Sound like mason has something similar? Saw Drew Cooper doing this, 13 degrees at 41 inches. Can even be used for stingers.

[@trottiegolf]

Mason is down and left. With his speed and those delivery numbers when you hold the face to the path you hit cuts. He doesn't have to set the clubs up either way just keep delivering the club consistently. I can't remember his driving iron was in terms of model but as you can tell it goes well BUT it will with the delivery of the club that he has.

[@laogx4026]

Awesome fit Trottie! After hearing 5w in a mini, am I crazy owning a not playing driver day go-to, counter-weighed in-grip, axe of a 46" mini Driver (11.5 deg std, heavy wt. back)? (165mph driver ball speed, 7-10hc) What is it about the mini that helps tighten the left and right dispersion is it the bulge and roll? is it more curvature than a regular driver? Thanks for the amazing content!

[@trottiegolf]

CG location and tee height / attack angle

[@timbuma3693]

I enjoy the feel of the ventus black but not surprisingly have a tough time turning it over. Would you then go to a ventus red/tr red which has a similar feeling in the butt as the black but a softer tip? Or would the blue be what you would hand your customers next?

[@trottiegolf]

Blue

[@bradleyfurlong1603]

Any ideas on what 5 wood shaft he’s got in the mini? Anything done to adjust swing weight? I have a mini that comes in and out of the bag for a more controlled driving iron but maybe throwing a shorter shaft in the mini would bring in some more control and still let me get it further down the fairway…

[@trottiegolf]

Do you know I can't remember the exact but heavy and short and tipped quite a bit if gonna help.... IF YOU HAVE SPEED

[@devondriscoll662]

Do you know Mason's coach at all Trottie? I'm just curious his opinion on changing his driver swing path since I've watched most of his videos (Porzak golf).

[@trottiegolf]

I do not. They can change it but I wouldn't go too drastic mid season

[@LeeTrevinoFans]

Question is....if he needs so much work on wedges....did he only come in for a Driver fit/Long iron fit,Only?

[@trottiegolf]

We recorded some wedge stuff after (not sure we'll air it) as my thought was the exact same. He did well with it to be fair

[@kiefnerlewis2176]

Trottie, what does going softer in the driver shaft do to lower spin on the miss? i play tr black 7x in driver @ 45 (miss is a over cut) and have thought about going with the tr blue 7x.

[@trottiegolf]

Yea I'd like that play but tip the blue 1.25" dependent on your speed and keep the swing weight up a little (D4) so you can benefit from the softer (all relative to black) tip and then become a little more aware of the face. Losing the massive cut / reducing the over cut. For me I'd go velocore blue too not the TR but that's just me

[@kiefnerlewis2176]

Thanks trottie, the TR Black tipped 1” might just be a little much. I will give the blue a shot and tip it. My swing speed fluctuates between 112-115.

[@trottiegolf]

@@kiefnerlewis2176 yea go blue. Especially if you’re seeing Mason tendencies

[@kiefnerlewis2176]

What are your thoughts on Diamana D+ limited or the new WB? The tip seems a bit softer but with a stable handle.

[@trottiegolf]

@@kiefnerlewis2176 I personally haven't hit them but I've fit speed players with them. Diamana is always stable and reliable, try them for your characteristics but I'd say you're in with one of the leading shafts for sure.

20+ years ago, this guy would be playing baseball or football. Now, these athletes choose golf because few other sports offer 10-20-30+ year careers. In the past, even scrawny weasels could win on tour. But them days are gone.

Agree with some of this but on the same note he probably loves golf. Golfers today are 100% majority athletes now

[@thewraithize]

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

@@thewraithize true, but I bet a guy who can carry 300+ and has a short game is going to have a long, successful career. Bryson is the poster boy for this type of player. The advantage of wedges into most greens is massive.

[@abz0806]

@@thewraithizefeel for the short game can be learned overtime tho. speed is much harder to acquire for the average golfer

[@eddycangolf]

190 ball and only 310 carry is super inefficient. If this guy learned how to draw it, he'd carry it like 340-350

[@RCGolf]

The wind always blows into the players' face at the kingdom so that is pretty good for sea level and into the wind. Forget about optimization because on tour they look for the ability to repeatably put the ball in play. Plenty of guys on tour want the spin to not only stabilize the flight but to also not run through fairways.

[@eddycangolf]

@@RCGolf But can't Trottie just normalize the numbers like Trackman or does fullswing not offer that feature? My point is if he's at 190 ball, his club is probably 126-130 and carrying it only 310 is inefficient.

[@trottiegolf]

@@eddycangolf you can normalize on FS. Your observation is actually fair but we're mid season and working with a guy who's down and left to control flight. That's my point about easing the left and down and going a bit softer. The Gainz are HUGE

Looking at the results he needs a wedge and putter fitting. So many of these guys with powerful swings and don't know how to score. Not sure he's even better than you Trottie.

[@trottiegolf]

🤣 I see what you're seeing and there was a massive piece of this fitting that went towards wedges and putter. We just cut the edit shorter as not sure it was of interest. Maybe we can make a cool wedge vide from it. Fair points though and like all tour guys, there's more to it than just hitting it amazing. Mason is in a good spot for sure

[@qwaszx2]

@@trottiegolf He's got a great swing. It's almost incomprehensible to me his WAGR. That's what I'm getting at. I see the swing, then I saw the results and I know it's a short game thing. He can certainly build a youtube channel and blow some youtubers away with raw power, but he should be on tour with that fluidity. It's not over just yet. I want to see him on Breaking 50.
