So behind these doors is one of the very best places in the world to get fit for golf clubs and today I’m going to be going for the top end of the bag I’m very very excited about this video because this is the Kingdom so this is Taylor M’s top fitting facility the type of people who come here AR raid across this wall the very best of the best and today me I don’t know how this works so in here now don’t want to like break the fourth wall is that what it’s called
Third wall sixth wall we’ll bust these three walls I’ve already been in there this morning because I put my bag somewhere it’s kind of where it belongs you know next to the big cat himself so these are a copy of tigers and they’re on like permanent display here he’s not
With us uh today unfortunately over here by the way this is new so I’ve been here once before you know a place has like reached a new level when it’s got its own merch when I get my clubs might be getting a bit of a head cover on there
As well that’ll be very very exciting that Masters one they did is still like one of the best one of the best things about coming over to the states is you get these kind of facilities that just aren’t really kind of available back home for obvious reasons cuz as we go
Out there it’s a grass range and if you try and do one of those in Manchester you’re going to be in trouble trust me now here’s the oh there we go the kingdom welcomes oh just imagine if it was John snow that would have been the next level would it you know nothing
John snow you know nothing John snow now this reception we’ got like a this is quite cool I’ve not actually tried out this before oh it’s even got like some of the data up so this is a 3D swing room so you got Maria fasy up here
Now these sensors in the corners and Behind These basically give like a 3D analysis of a player’s swing and then you can put it on this system and then you can go deep down into the details of like what the goal swing looks like guys
Were saying John Ram kind of used to use this a lot when he was with tailor made when he was doing all this TPI stuff yeah so we’re not going to be going in here really today so it’s the same system it’s got 3D capture here as well
Oh and it’s got literally if you wanted to know what was going on with your putting this year I don’t want to know what’s going on my putting I don’t want to know how horrendous my stroke is I just want to know if it’s going to go in
The hole or not I’m going to pay no attention to what my point Str do this year at all a word of warning okay you ready ready this is a word of warning for everybody watching if you like golf shafts this next room might send you
Into a frenzy okay so just calm yourself down take a deep breath and follow me look at this room this is absolutely ridiculous now to be honest I don’t know what half of these chefs are these have names that I’ve never heard of from exotic places far away fortunately I’ve
Got someone fitting me today who knows exactly what they’re talking about so if you don’t follow try golf make sure that you do now so Chris tro he was a fitter with tailor maid on tour for years and years and years and he’s the one that’s
Going to be taking me through this top end of the bag we’re going to go meet Troy out on the Range this incredible range here the got at the Kingdom and we’re just going to explain exact ly the clubs that he’s going to be taking me
Through because it’s been a it’s been a confusing part of the bag for me for a number of years try mate hey mate how are you good to see you absolutely fantastic wel to the kingom how are you I’m good I’m good I’m glad you’re here
Good to have you here we got a bit of a poor day for it but it’s good for testing honestly M it’s actually shocking we were considering calling today off um but we decided that we need to just tough it out we need to just you
Know T it out on regardless mate I’m not brought a single pair of pants for me well it’s bad weather next week too but we can get on that Pan’s in paner American I want to pull you boys up on this I hear you’ve been calling me out
For raising at the end so now I’m just trying to stay as English and as Northern as I possibly can possibly can what are we going to do today so my friend we are going to go through your Fairway Woods I believe we’re going to be gapping that’s the main thing here I
Think for anyone listening that we want to get out of this right that’s what I took from the conversation basically what I want from dve to my kind of four iron is going to be my longest iron I want to build a bit of an Armory so if
I’m going out on like a lyns course where I need to keep it down I want to be able to have like like a like a low three wood if I then switch over to like a Parkland I want to be able to kind of
Get it lofted soft lies firm lies so I want this whole kind of area of the bag really kind of mapped out so I can adjust it to different courses I love it and look if there’s any Fitters out there watching this the way I would do
This in a fitting we have like an interview before as to what we want kind of blind don’t see it get in here and then get a feel for it so the fact that you understand it and that gapping between three wood and five iron four
Iron like you say let’s have a squad of players that you can travel with we can hit high softies and we can also hit like low bullets if needed and hybrids I am not the young strapping man I used to be and I’m feeling hybrids might be the
Future for me I don’t like it but it’s your golf bag so that’s they the CEO of your own golf game if I if I can get it down to maximum three irons that’d be great maybe start at the seven iron struggle to go four iron more four once
We go past Four hybrid maybe we’ll hand you to one of these other Fitters I’m out okay that’s fine disown me after that point right exactly we best get warmed up look at this range just look at this range okay mate dive in on your irons yeah um probably wise yeah just
Get loose hit those and then we’ll start to lay some numbers down with some yardages and once we’ve got that we’ll get into more detail from There do this after to get enough plane to be fair two runs since you’ve been it last night in this morning why would you have done that hanging around with these two like they cross cross the streams he runs all the time this blog’s train for an ultra marathon go be fun be Great so the warm-up was interesting having come off backto back FL light and with my spine seemingly in advice from the ill advised runs I was fatting a lot of shots it was actually quite embarrassing but I was also testing The Lofts and the shafts in this section of
The warm up just giving trotty an idea of my ball speeds my club head speeds and how I deliver the head into impact also in this section of the warm-up we tested the clubs out of multiple different lies as I was quite Keen to understand how a hybrid would be a
Replacement for my long iron we tested out of bunkers and eventually we ended up in some dodgy lies around the green just to see if this could be an option as well boom now bring that to bring those golf balls there I can’t get too excited about that you told
Me you kind of fall into the back of it just going to pop up and out and in how easy is that yeah don’t get excited about it Pete no no no no no no no no no everyone needs everyone needs to stay calm right so you’re just adding golf shots
Stay calm stay calm everyone just no one stop let’s leave the chipping area calm everyone like everyone get off those comments everyone just calm down right so we’ve gone for a two hybrid qi1 tour anyone out there looking at the tour bit it’s generally a lower Peak height there you go
What about I mean if I normal and that was all normalized that’s 240 but there could be a world if I was to strengthen this you could just jump three-wood to this let’s go one click on that Loft sleeve I mean that’s awesome there you go that’s that I got carried away there
I caught myself before you say it I caught myself I no like oh hang on a minute let’s watch his reaction In fairness how was that go in all fairness I’m just not that like 10t from 240 yard say yeah you know what that was awesome
There you go that was awesome and I was hoping to get the 255 Mark and he’s hitting normalized 256 so that’s what I’m saying if you’ve got the 265 which if we hit more 3ws let’s go one off a t I bet this can get to 270 odd normalized
I’ve got it cuz you got your Runners back an aggressive 3-wood and an aggressive hybrid and then you could jump into like that four iron probably you carry the four iron as well as the 17 great stay chill that’s all you’re getting you’re not getting an awesome great well done thank you 281
281 but that’s what I’m talking about you throw that in and the two hybrid and then you’ve got that’s a pretty good setup and when someone looks at a club like that that means I’m quite happy with that that’s usually what it means but let me show you something else we
Could do with this cuz there’s more there can’t be there is there can’t be there’s more there can’t be there is so that was 281 let’s go all the way to higher this will sit a little shot but you’re now with your drawman shape you might like that find out go like that
Whip this back get ready for the sound effects and then you go back there then you’ve got put that down completely different golf club now go Peg again if you want but we got 281 in its strongest setting now you’re going to give us go
Go off the Peg and you give us this little spinny three wood that now what you could do cuz we’ve got another hybrid in here as well that the options are endless you drop the 17 to be honest in all seriousness as well that’s that’s actually what I want I just want the
Options okay so I want to be able to say like right okay windy right okay so it’s that it’s that it’s not windy it’s a park this this it’s windy it’s a link this this but that’s how much you can do with that Golf Club so you drop the 17
Now and we’re going to get the 19 in play and then if you want it for the next part of the video we’ve got the whole other model which has been a bit more customized for you so really turned up with everything you know what I mean yeah yeah which is
Great I mean we know this is going to be good he’s just hit that 250 carry and it wasn’t his best hit no that’s great that’s really good see I like that for someone with your speed 262 carry normalized so that’s really useful yeah um go off the deck and hit a
Squeezer if you want great so just to drop dist giving you 260 but it’s spun a lot more so it lands soft um I think now I’ve got some clubs coming let’s check where they are but obviously we can put it and test it if you want I’d throw a 19 in with
This weaker option if you play it stronger I’d put a 17 in and you’ve still got that four hybrid but we’re going to test now a five wood and a seven wood okay cool love it I’m sorry to interrupt the fitting video but we have a giveaway now this is a media box
Because I’m a that makes videos on YouTube every now and again manufacturers sent through one of these it’s like a presentation with their new products but I’ve already got all the drivers through I don’t need another one so the guys at Taylor Made said why don’t you do a giveaway and I completely

This video You’re automatically entered we’ll do a couple of weeks for enough people to put their name down and then we will pick a winner so subscribe like comment below for a chance to win this driver right let’s get back to the fitting all right so we have good
Options we know we got the four hybrid just to summarize on that that you got to play with that good options we can go stronger in that we can go stronger in the 17 19 we haven’t hit now all of a sudden I’ve got a handful of head covers
Because tailor made make another head I have it here in fivewood I’ve gone heavier in the golf Shack these are your grips so they’re going to feel a bit thicker but look at that now little bit larger we’ll spin Loft for loft a little bit more but as we’re here at the
Kingdom we might get into bending some of that Loft A Little Bit Stronger but comes down to player preference again if you don’t like it then we stick with the head that you can adjust and have the Tor truck in your pocket this one is well worth looking at this is a forward
So now we can kind of do everything in that maybe you say naughty words to me exactly mate then of course I have the stronger one so you’re holding them strongest through to weakest um and then this which is not me but might be you
That’s a seven wood so we’ve gone 70 G SE there’ll be about 75 if exact but 7 seven and then eight and eight and when you tip cut them because I don’t want these spinning up I tip the shafts a little more so well worth looking at
That and then maybe if you just pan a slat your three-wood versus three-wood and then the next thing I’ve done for you as well just to give you options 19 and a 22 but in the larger head I think think you’re probably going to settle
There but we might as well see them go and see them fly and then you’ve got the full offering and then these are also heavy these are in the 105 oh Jesus wow this is a r John Ram golf sha very nice to be fair in hybrid cha I’m not a
Hybrid guy but nice so heavy because I want flat ball flights wow especially into this Breeze yeah yeah very heavy right I’ve really set them up like an iron to be honest so that’s going to be like a sledgehammer Hammer have you hit the shaft before no I think you’ll like
It t hybrid Proto it’s good I’ve only hit it a couple of times liked it a lot cool love it mate cool so shaft wise we’ve just gone with staple stuff that works on the tour um maybe start with that five wood so the one there that’s
The five wood we’ll get to Seven wood in a minute cuz this is the problem with that was human many head covers definitely you’d have to get like little characters on everything bit like that don’t you yeah bit climby into Breeze go again it’s too straight down the pipe it’s
Just that extra climb isn’t it but but it’s a five with into a 15 mph you probably pick it up on the mics so that’s gone normalized 242 into Breeze 230 so it’s a 12 y wind so this is a seven wood just hold it back to back
With your fivewood so if you go back to back on the deck like that put it next to it we’ve gone a little bit shorter in the golf shaft so he’s going to be able Now to turn on this and hopefully trap it a bit hit a high spinny one like that
Guys that place seven Woods tend to love them yeah I’m not sold on them what uh just cuz I’m traditionalist maybe in my own game I love a seven wood but that is very useful but can you hit it half the height is that a challenge yeah okay it
Is you tell you tell me what shot you want now I got I want half that height I want just above the trees and I don’t mind if you take a divot I don’t mind any way you do it okay but I want to know that if there was water there into
Breeze and you just wanted to carry it how would you do it with a seven wood how good’s that see now I’m sold on this golf club now I’m okay with you taking it away have I just changed your life for that golf shot I don’t know if
I could do that but I’m happy with you you’re a good player though what is wrong why am I so but you’re now so positive but that was brilant I mean that’s gone 247 normalized 5,000 Back Spin and he’s hit it if if we actually
Look at the breeze in it it’s 215 so but that’s the flight I want to make sure most people that go with a seven wood can do that and then the biggest Advantage I’ve just rolled it into a divot let’s have a look there I mean how good’s that and then we
Might as well do the full set come forward go out the roof there’s not a great lie off a down Bank wow it’s not great though is it you just pluged that stood on it a little bit I’m not very heavy how useful is that do you know
What I mean yeah man I’m all in on I’m all in on seven Woods he grabbed another ball that’s how all in he is another go I re I could even h a draw with this seven would I feel you know great confidence that’s what’s coming through there Pete confidence me am I
Like a good golfer now not as good as this kid over here but like that’s good so then the club that we should look at which now you you speak in my language is this and that’s a fourwood now I’m not going to bend this seven wood I
Think that looked brilliant the fivewood from the couple of shots I’ve seen I think has a chance I think the seven wood makes the bag for most golf courses for you yeah but if you’re going seven wood well all of a sudden you can play strong three-wood if you don’t go seven
Wood now you can put fourwood in which is this so we’re going to expect like a mid flight on this that’s good so good so for for golf courses that set up at like stop yeah he’s ruined he’s broke me oh like am I am I from California now for golf
Courses that set up though at 6,800 which are a lot of courses when you play with your mates and stuff and you don’t tip it out but even if you go and tip it out maybe then You’ got to think about the three-wood but if you’re playing like standard PGA tournament course and
It’s 68,000 yards to 7,000 yards with your speed this becomes useful yeah really useful cuz you give yourself options elsewhere in the bag same again it’s Manz on automatic 162 ball speed bin rate 32 which I love and 255 then the 19 which you haven’t even hit yet only goes in based on setup but we might not even test that cuz it’s just your set and then you have this weak one which again leaves the question mark because suppose cuz these are going to be flying obviously these are
Adjustable but these two are going to be flying this forward was like 215 220 it was like your four IR that was your four iron one yeah yeah the four yeah four one yeah you have an option yeah we’ll get to them now to be fair mate they sit
Pretty Square it’s not like the tow in or anything and yeah obviously we put a bit of Magic on them in the build for you ah what was the magic uh I I just want them set at a certain lot the hybrids were very interesting choice for
Me I’ve always struggled with this club missing it off to the left hand side the problem which many better players face however Troy fitted me into these exceptionally heavy shafts often used by John RAM and that really did help mitigate that Miss off to the left hand
Side and because of this I feel a lot more comfortable and confident dropping some of the long irons and replacing them with a hybrid I’m trying to put my ego at the door a little bit more this season and with the testing complete on the hybrids my Armory was looking very
Full so this is qi1 tour yeah so this is Beast adjustable can hit this 280 to 260 depending on adjustments and I think if we think about it going to a golf course Scotland irand could be windy could be great middle of July who knows what we’re going to get this does everything
If you don’t want to pack loads of golf clubs that goes in yeah shf wise happy with that I don’t again you turned up with it you like it you hit it nice why would I dive into Pandora’s Box and cause myself emotional problems you know
What I mean I’ve been doing this long enough to know yeah like I just if you were pressing on me going I hate this I would get all over it but it’s like you didn’t say that from the moment you got it so why tur in a great fitting into
Like an all day session you know what I mean all day sessions are good sometimes but depends what kind of all day s rather than fitting depends what kind of all day session you’re talking about exactly I think you’ve built a good squad and I think because of your unique
Situation as time goes on if you want wanted to add a fivewood in that model we can do that down the track but if someone was to come here and leave with this we’ve got every possible option you know what I mean it’s good I’m excited don’t get too
Excited don’t get too excited by the way I’m not sure the order of these videos but if you haven’t checked out me and try winning the good good desert Invitational uh that’s going to be with hybrids we’re going to do it with a bag I’m going to get all hybrids for that
She would just turn up full bag of head covers exactly hello everybody exactly and we are done a absolute bouquet of Fairway Woods Troy was an absolute Legend if you’ve not followed him on YouTube make sure you go subscribe follow me on his social as well well
Worth it what he doesn’t know about clubs isn’t worth knowing and I’m really excited to actually test these out I came wanting like an arsenal of weapons to be able to use and I’ve left with a full Armada I don’t really know my military terms I’ve got a lot of clubs
To test so I’m going to try and figure out what the best gapping is for certain situations but really in this area of the bag I’ve have no excuses now so now in the bill M bag got the driver got the Fairway woods and we have the irons so
Stay tuned to find out what else is going in the bag if you haven’t already make sure you subscribe to the channel check out the other Bill My Bag videos that we have done so far this year we’ll see you next time you want to do like a
Cool walk out the shop yeah okay okay
