Mac Boucher Driver Fitting and Build!

#tourtrucktuesday LIVE FITTING IS BACK
Canadian Sling King Mac Boucher and all round great guy joins me in the PGA Tour Department at TaylorMade Headquarters.
Check out Mac’s channel :
/ @macbouchergolf
Mac is a lefty with some serious talent and plays with a lot of feel. To start this fitting we talk through the hot melt process and dive into detail in terms of a clubs balance point and what each individual player should be looking for in order to maximize their driving game.
Once we’ve cherry picked his Qi10 LS and dialed in the perfect loft and lie we head to The Kingdom to check ball flight and data on the Full Swing Kit launch monitor.
Mac isn’t your ordinary player and his shot shaping talents are unrivaled.
Enjoy his hitting display as he gives some amazing feedback on what he likes to see and why, with unreal awareness of how he delivers the golf club.

Mac has got to be the most unique golfer on KZbin, love the swing and approach. And as always, Trottie just dropping knowledge. Well done

[@seancarmack2452]

Trottie just chuckin’ that lefty weight in the righty bin. “that goes in there” haha. Priceless.

[@JackBin1289]

trottie is such a GOAT in the club fitting business

[@Tui1Hit]

I can listen to Trottie all day long in addition to loving the club tech stuff I didn't really know about until Trottie explains it so well. Keep it coming, brada. Someday I would love the opportunity to meet you in person. I only live in the San Diego county, 40 minute south of Carlsbad.

[@LouKayne]

Love the Mac content! We gotta see the build and fitting of his fairway woods too. Especially that new 7 wood!

[@trottiegolf]

Mac's channel will have all that fun stuff. Link in description

[@Damnnebuli]

Way to go Boucher! Nice to see ya with Trottie! Golf Clap!

[@OTSgolf]

Mac. One of the coolest guys in the space. Love this fit.

[@spu5990]

No one does it better than Trottie! Best fitter on Tour.

[@trottiegolf]

There's a few gooduns, nobody drops the 🧅's like me though 🤣

[@tuffeegaming8715]

Haven’t got a clue about half of this stuff but still find these videos incredibly interesting 😂

[@jonnyunitus7166]

I love watching Trottie bc i learn so much!

[@trottiegolf]

We call that 🧅 sauce

[@Lunty192]

Chris, this is fantastic to watch and the level of detail you provide is incredible, clearly an expert. Granted, not every golfer needs this type of service, but one of the biggest issues is that no fitter or fitting centre in the UK offers this type of service and goes into this level of detail

[@nicw2691]

Never watched a fitting before, at 67 off 8 and trying to get lower Trottie's knowledge is good to listen to.

[@trottiegolf]

Tons more fitting in this tank this next few weeks. Stay Tuned 👍

[@MaartenAnna]

Trottoir, Matt, thanks for that. This is so educational from a couple of the best fitters, hitters of the ball! I’m trying to fit myself with my PXG 0311 gen 5 and my Garmin R10. The thing I noticed that there is soooo much difference between the driving range ball, the winter (2-piece ball), and my gamer ball; in terms of speed, launch angle and spin. I think there’s almost 25-30 yards carry difference with my meager 95mph clubhead speed. 😱 But I’m slowly getting to that elusive straight/baby draw ball flight, with 12-16 degree launch angle and 2800-2200 rpm👍👍

[@Chris_Rowles]

Slight correction for the gear nerds out there, the shaft Mac has is a Gen 4 HZRDUS Black, not a hulk. He has a limited edition rainbow PVD finish on that shaft which was released last spring.

[@ericbradner6986]

Was gonna say the same thing, this is definitely the Gen4 Black (which is a stock option through nearly every manufacturer, though not in this awesome PVD rainbow finish), not the Hulk.

[@trottiegolf]

@@ericbradner6986 DEEP IN THERE BOYS. I'll follow your guidance as I actually think you're right now I look at it again.

[@kevinoneill2170]

Good stuff as always gents

[@tpot559]

I love it when trottie says, the fitters have all the weights, 😂 TM need to send these over to the fitters in the uk. 😊

[@mikehill06]

Great stuff as always

[@BrodieD]

My R7 Quad still does me good. Constantly changing the weights around. Definitely done its time and due for a new driver.

[@dbetts1573]

Mac is the man! Love how fearless he plays!

[@shaneWARs1]

To me nothing sounds better then a all titanium driver. Ps can I come and build my new set looks like so much fun please

[@Lovetheducks]

Mac will be the next big thing in KZbin golf and it’s well deserved.

[@Marc_de_Car]

Thank you

[@sully010579]

@trottiegolf Where can I find a Left Hand 20 gram back weight for my Stealth 2 plus driver? Great video!

[@christopher-miles]

...young tom delonge choosing golf over blink is just marvellous

[@Willp03]

Fun fact Robert macintyre is the only lefty on taylormade staff other than mike weir and Brian harman who were taylormade staff until 2019 and 2022

[@derek4710]

Question for anyone. What sound are you listening for when it hits high/low/heel/toe? I'm always intrigued how fitters and good players can tell off of strike.

[@ab-nz2mm]

"apples to apples move it 1 click lower" ... does trottie not understand that when you do that the face angle and lie also changes? the CG rotates towards towards the shaft on that 1 click and reduces deflection too.

[@PetSKi67]

13:28 @Trottiegolf, could you explain exactly, what the Normalize-function does for the numbers on Trackman and when it should be used? I had a session lately, where we hit range balls, which should have been selected as Limited distance Soft, but usually in a studio I hit premium hards. I am not sure, which ball was selected at the range ball session. With the range ball Normalized had the ball speed jumping at 175 from 165 and smash factor from 1.49 up to 1.55, which I find bizarre.

[@thomasgoode7322]

I predict massive influx of 20+ cappers running into their local shop for a hot melt, because that will help.

[@SnoopyGolf]

It helped me and I ain't no pro. I put it in my DI and its noticeable.

[@MaartenAnna]

Matt=Mac

[@uday29khunti04]

Since it's Tour truck tuesday I always wondered what would happen if a tour player had a specific build with weighting and holt melt or tipping (something you cant get at a normal golf store) and their driver broke while warming up before their round on Sunday and the trucks had left.

[@trottiegolf]

BACK UP's. The well versed guys have back ups

[@TaroZak]

my only fellow lefty 🤝 🙌 LOL

[@ᴵᴬᴹGump006]

🇨🇦

[@sfodge7]

my dad got me into the game...a huge payback would be for me to just buy him a fitting from Trottie...probably can't afford it, but the countless money he's spent on me to chase my golf dream, it'd be so worth it to pay him back and then som...

[@pedroramsey]

nice to see the process, when is my turn ;)

[@chrispendergast7792]

What's Mac's delivery numbers like when hitting his fade?

[@elijahlatour723]

Does anyone know if the p790 2 iron available? I saw grant horvat has one but I can’t find it on the Taylormade website.

[@adammitchell9627]

I would like the heavier rear weight for my stealth2 plus I’m left handed and I cannot find them anywhere. Please help. 😅😅

[@billsimard4317]

So how much Melt did you add to the Head ? Also how much MELT is Too much or is there a Limit on how much you use or have used ? Thx guys Great Videos as Always Doesn’t hurt that Macs 🇨🇦😛

[@trottiegolf]

I think I added about 7G, I don't like to go more than 8G but folks do

[@adavis8423]

Curious, what happens to all the tour heads adjusted with hot melt, cut shafts etc when pros cycle through all the combos. Saved for later testing on other players or discarded in the 2nd hand market?

[@trottiegolf]

A great Tour rep gets it right and the club goes on to win a lotta coin , an amazing tour rep smashes it and the club ends up in the hall of fame 🤣

[@Styleclassics]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@jeffwatt2627]

Brilliant content as always Trottie. I’m interested in your thoughts on shaft pureing, are there benefits or is it a gimmick ?

[@trottiegolf]

Tiger is into it so it can't be ruled out. To be honest a ton of tour guys are on it BUT I've asked engineers at TM and they're not into it. So mixed opinions on that. Personally, I've never sworn by it but if a PLYR wants it then I obv don't mess around and make sure it happens.

[@jeffwatt2627]

Thanks for that Trottie, much appreciated.

[@ThomasSutcliffe]

Hi Trottie, You said you was worried about glue on the face, what effect would this have?

[@trottiegolf]

If it gets against the face it slows it down

[@billsimard4317]

Sorry should have asked also do you ever add Melt to Fairways? Thx 🍻

[@trottiegolf]

Absolutely

[@SnoopyGolf]

Hey trottie do you know the average weight for the 2023 p770 head? Where could i find the info for that? 6 iron or 7 iron head weight

[@trottiegolf]

I don't, I'd have to weigh one to get super accurate on that. Sorry fella. If you have one just weigh it then re-glue

[@Jinkzed01]

How much does a fitting like this cost?

[@doch5061]

Hey Trottie. For a single soft step on a 4-gap wedge (KBS $ taper 125g S+), should the pitching & gap wedge be 8 or 9 iron shafts? Thanks.

[@avy2084]

Thatd be hard stepping soft stepping would be using the PW shaft in the 9 iron

[@doch5061]

@@avy2084I’m told the regular pitch/gap wedge shaft is the 9 iron shaft. Also told to soft step a pitch/gap an 8 iron shaft is needed.

[@trottiegolf]

@@doch5061 lot of talk maybe 15 - 20 yrs ago about 8 iron shafts in wedges. That'd be your soft step play as once you get down into those wedge shafts they're all one length

[@SnoopyGolf]

@@avy2084 You are wrong in many ways. Why do you talk when you don't know. First of all most shafts don't have a PW shaft. You might be thinking of wedge flex which is different. Putting an 8 iron shaft in a 9 iron is soft stepping it once basic terms . More of the tip section is exposed which makes the shaft play softer. You put 9 iron shafts in wedges if you want to play same same shafts as irons in wedges. Putting an 8 iron shaft will soft step it once. 7 iron shaft will soft step twice.

[@thadubsdavid]

My driver weight got loose and dropped inside the driver head, how do I get it out?

[@trottiegolf]

hmmm very tricky. Either hot melt or I'd recommend sending back.

[@thadubsdavid]

@@trottiegolf do you mean trying ro hot melt the weight to the driver head from outside?

[@trottiegolf]

@@thadubsdavid recognize I didn’t explain that well. 2 options, well technically 3 1) blow air in the head and try and remove whatever is loose or the weight 2) hot melt to stick the weight to the crown and then make the other weight in the head lighter Only really works with loose pieces of carbon opposed to an actual weight 3) send it back This is the safest option. To lose a weight in the head is a little odd so speak to manufacturer and sort that would be my advice.

[@Jabeboss]

I love Mac. Fuck the haters

[@leospaceman2976]

Who doesn’t like Mac?

[@kevinoneill2170]

There are always a bunch of try-hards on Mac's Instagram posts saying that his videos are faked or edited to make his trick shots, big cuts, or big draw shots look more impressive. And then there's the chuckleheads who dog on his game when he does collabs with other KZbin channels. Just a bunch of lames.

[@lickitbiscuit6700]

What I’d do for a fit like this right now, I’m on the verge of quitting golf I’m so close to my wits end with driver. I’ve gone from a 2 handicap to can’t break 80 because of my tee game. 4 fairways in my last 3 rounds, but videos like this give me hope!

[@GameSethMatch98]

No way you were a 2 handicap if you’re that bad with the stick. Just put it away 😂

[@CrispyGFX]

How about just don't hit driver, smfh... Play at 3:00 or a five wood or even a three iron off of the tee. No reason you can't be a two handicap without a driver in your bag.

[@lickitbiscuit6700]

Awesome advice guys. Probably should rephrase, if I were to tee off with driver every hole I wouldn’t break 80. Already hitting 3 iron off the tee on par 4’s that are short enough, but I’d like to play golf being able to carry it farther than 225 with a 3 iron and take advantage of my speed. 77 only hitting driver 6-7 times isn’t as enjoyable

[@SnoopyGolf]

@@lickitbiscuit6700 lol

[@MaartenAnna]

Yeah, a buddy of mine had the same problem, only hitting a driving Iron (I think it was a 2-iron TaylorMade?). But he now has the TaylorMade mini driver. He now hits it 250 carry (rather than 275), but he keeps it in play.

[@920_Ly]

Surprised he got it wrong but that is not the hulk shaft. It's a limited edition 6.5 hzrdus black( graphics are just different thus limited edition) I also had the hulk shaft and the shaft Mac has is nowhere near as stout/ stiff as the hulk.

[@trottiegolf]

Yea my bad. Focussed on the head. Someone else said that in the comments and you guys are right 🙋‍♀

[@Juddly05]

Mac = auto click.

[@johnathanwetherill456]

Useless with out a tracer for us watching .

[@mitchjones9282]

you know he is slinging the ball around and you can’t see any of it, bit of a let down

[@neilgardner8066]

Could you just talk normally for once…putting glue into a clubhead is not a high pressure, all on the line experience. If is does not work then you can use another £10 clubhead!

[@LeoSH87]

'Giveaway' 🤙🏌️🍻 Another top video lads.......after watching that, I'm pretty sure I'm a scratch golfer as well 😂
