As a result of my successful iron shaft fitting I decided to return to the KBS Golf Experience facility in Carlsbad California and expand the process into wedge shafts.
” Onion ” Master Fitter David Anderson was back on hand to walk me through what he looks for not only in wedge shafts but also how the indoor wedge fitting process works.
We worked through matching the set for full shots. What true wedge gapping should look like and call out numbers you should be aware of when going through an indoor fitting experience.
Wedge spin control is crucial for success and we will also reveal what you should be looking for when it comes to the ” right ” yardage numbers and how you achieve them.
Truly some of my most educational work and an eye opening experience even for me after 16 years fitting the games best players on the PGA Tour and other leading professional tours around the world.
If you’re interested in learning more about KBS golf shafts the website is below but perhaps more importantly you too can go through this experience with David yourself.
Be sure to mention TrottieGolf and I’m sure the KBS crew will (maybe) jump you up the queue??…….. We can but try :0)

Whoever at TaylorMade is putting kbs max 85 shafts into the stealth wedges needs a spanking.
Thank you Trottie for all these videos! Keep them coming
You mentioned the 610 feel being “dead” on 3/4 shots. Do you think it will be active enough in feel for around the green chipping for you? Or what is the thought process on feel pros and cons in wedge shafts?
David is a stud. Love the onions.
Awesome stuff, thanks Trottie!!! 😁👍
Good stuff here. My wedges carry the same shaft as my irons. 50,54, 58
Gonna rewatch this when I get fitted for wedges next
I like how he keeps you on track and on point. You have a tendency to wander and sway off subject. Because you are usually doing the analyzing on others and have to see all the variables. When you are under the gun and your fitter is trying to see what is best for you, he is doing it in his systematic way one step at a time and doing well keeping you focused and taking the steps he wants to see. Very interesting to watch.
Let's go! Love David and the KBS Golf Experience Team – I was fit in March for a new driver and had a fantastic experience!
I like to hit full smooth shots when I can with 50 and 54. And even 60! The reason I would choose the 60 is the full shot is more reliable and predictable. The only time i would choose the So the L is reduce spin when ball is landing on a slight up slope and I don't want zing back off the green. So the club/shaft would have to get me the spin I need for that. If I am playing on hard greens, and need more spin, I would go with all out swing with the the shorter club. Throwing a chunk of course.
I taught myself to fit myself and ended up with the same philosophy as your fitter. And my testing always happens on the course, on the greens I play. The results from testing dictated the method I landed on after a few years.
I wish more people pushed the idea of never hitting a full wedge. Good stuff.
Love Trottie fitting content! I just got fit for the Stealth 2 Plus and the difference in distance and dispersion from just a properly fit club is ridiculous! I feel like my swing is average to better than average, but my results aren't. Can't wait till i can afford to refit the entire bag
Love it. KBS Convert
I feel some how some way you are secretly spying on me. As I mentioned in last comments in the wedge fitting process. Handicap keeps dropping staying tuned with your videos. Wedge loft / shaft etc in the works. Thanks for the great content Trottie and KBS 🙌🏻💪🏻⛳️
Must be nice to fit someone where your not “waiting for a good one” and than they call that the “average”
Amazing educational video! You are so much more knowledgeable and entertaining than that jackass Johnny Wonder guy from Callaway
Such a good video as always Trottie! Thanks for sharing. Such an awesome fitting experience he provided. Just on point and communicated so well.
Very Impressive
Great stuff!
LOVE your videos! I have a series question that need your advice.
I am currently playing 1 degree flat and steel fiber CW 110 X flex. My prefer shot is a fade. Is it more easier to hit a fade being X flex or Stiff flex or Soften the tip? Please your advice!!!! I come from a Project X LZ 6.5 and for me it was easier to fade than now. I am plus 1 handicap so trust me if I want to hit fade I will, I just want it to be more natural. Why I changed shafts? Cause I have a problem on my left wrist.
Had the opportunity to be fit by Dave some time ago and I will never go to anyone else! Guy knows his stuff!
I went to KBS experience for my very first fitting. Luckily, I got David, too. He was very knowledgeable and definitely an expert. He also sold me my one and only true putter. A L.A.B beauty. I've never put it down since. I recommend KBS especially if you use KBS shafts. I do not use KBS in any other club but irons and wedges. Highly recommend though.
Oh how I would love to go for a fitting there. Great video as always Trottie, David is top notch!
Love the KBS 610 wedge shafts, tight feel and plenty of spin.
I would pay good money for a trottie fitting. Unfortunately I don’t have good money so I will settle for watching YouTube videos instead
I got fitted into Project X LZ 6.0 120g for my irons, and progressed into the same shaft for my 50 degree. He wanted to put me into the 5.5 LZ 115g in the 55 & 60, would there be a reasoning for this?
What a perfect video for me right now. I’ve been trying to dial in my gap wedge, not sure if I should get a p790 or stick with my 50 degree Cleveland wedge. I’m going to put an iron shaft in my Cleveland! No other person I’ve asked had this idea, as I mostly use it for full swing shots. Thanks again trottie!
Brilliant. I think you guys need to start the Club Fitters University!!!
So much to learn…. So little time😊
Great vid per usual! Love the diverse type of content for all types of golfers. Keep it up Trottie and definitely want to see more with KBS!
Amazing video! So enjoyable. Question for you…..The iron shaft which has gone in the 52 wedge, what length is it? Is it a PW shaft? I use my 50 degree as an extra iron and have never got on with the standard shaft init. (I play same iron shafts as you so this has intrigued me)
