Tommy Fleetwood tries his hand at fitting Rory McIlroy for a Qi35 driver. Using TaylorMade’s MyFitting Experience platform, Tommy is able to analyze and react to Rory’s data in real time and make a few tweaks to dial in a club that is optimized for one of the best drivers of the golf ball ever.

Like Rory in this video, when you experience a TaylorMade fitting, you’ll hit Qi35 Drivers with fitting markers built into the face, which gives your fitter the most accurate data possible. This will help them dial in the perfect head and shaft combo for your swing in real time.

Which head do you actually use it? I might be using this one. You do a good I might be using this one. You do a good enough job. If you win the Masters with this driver, I will let you wear the green jacket for a month. It’s an okay start. Little spinny. New shaft. Same loft. Same loft. Same head. Oh, Tommy, I’m so good at my job. I’ve seen you hit some drives um in the past and I thought we would start out with this one. I’ve made this for you. Okay. So, All right. Okay. You sure you’ve watched me hit drives before? Okay. How is your game at the moment? It’s okay. Yeah. Yeah, it’s okay. I’ve been um been feeling like I’ve been making some steady improvements. Driving it okay. Uh yeah. Yeah, I’ve been driving it okay, but there’s always room for improvement. It’s an okay start. Little spinny. Uh, seems like the flight was a bit floatier than I’m used to. I mean, struggling a little bit on speed. Okay. Club head speed was only 128 there. So, okay. I guess maybe a lighter shot. I I okay. I guess maybe a lighter shot. I I guess we’ll just get you warmed up for a guess we’ll just get you warmed up for a minute. Okay. Would you like me to hit another with this one? Yeah. Spin was a little high. that. If you hit one more drive like that, I’ll take my money and my job is that, I’ll take my money and my job is done. That was, if you would like to know, ball speed was just short of 184. Okay. 2,400 spin. Nearly 129 club speed. Okay. 315 carry. Okay. I think there’s I think I could get more out of it, though. That I could get more out of it, though. That seems Yeah. Yeah. I don’t think that’s quite as good as what I have with my quite as good as what I have with my gamer. though. Yeah. Feels like it’s got to flatten it to. Yeah. Trying to see how to flatten the flight. Yeah. Would you like to go shaft or change the loft of the head? Um, well, you’re the fitter. You tell me. Feel like you’re a shaft guy. I I do I do like a interesting shaft. I I do I do like a interesting shaft. Okay. Select tempo. Quick. Let’s go quick. You seem like okay then. So, you can use all of these. Okay. Feel like you’re going to be more of an X. An X? Yeah, they’re all X. of an X. An X? Yeah, they’re all X. Will we try the red? The red. The red Will we try the red? The red. The red 6X. Then 6X red. Which one is it? 5x 6x. There you go. This be the one. 5x 6x. There you go. This be the one. Okay. What is your setting? Um, that’s just That looks like it’s I’ll put it on standard. Are you happy with standard? Um, I think I’m happy with standard. Yeah. Yeah. I think is this is this you Yeah. Yeah. I think is this is this you happy with the loft on that? Like how it happy with the loft on that? Like how it looks? I could maybe you could maybe take a touch of loft off it to to have take a touch of loft off it to to have it sit a little more square maybe. Shall we just change one thing for now and we’ll just do the shaft? Okay. All right. That seems to be the that would be the best way to to fit someone, wouldn’t it? Shaft. Yeah. Just one thing at a time. New shaft. Same loft. Same loft. Same head. Okay. Same weight. All right. And this is the this is the max right. And this is the this is the max head, is it? Or the core head? What one’s this? This is Yeah, the max. No, I think this is the core. It’s not No, I think this is the core. It’s not core, is it? Yeah, that’s the because it’s think these ones stay next. Yeah. Okay, let’s see how this goes. Where’s my iPad? Okay, I think so. It says ready for shot, but it’s loading. Just hit one. Okay. Yeah. So that’s that’s probably still Is that still a little floaty for you? Yeah, that’s still a little floaty. Do you want to hit one more and then maybe we’ll change the loft? Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. How does it feel the that’s a good idea. How does it feel the shaft? It feels good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Feel okay? Like shaft feel okay? Sort of. Yeah. Yeah. It feels it’s got a it’s got Yeah. Yeah. It feels it’s got a it’s got a little bit of a kick to it. Bit of a little bit of a kick to it. Bit of life compared to what I’m using at the minute, but And will you be you’ll be all right if I take some loft and it all right if I take some loft and it looks a little bit open? Yes, absolutely. That’s that’s my preferred. We won’t go all the way down. Why don’t We won’t go all the way down. Why don’t we go all the way down? Do you want to we go all the way down? Do you want to go all the way down? Yeah, let’s go all the way down? Yeah, let’s go all the way down and see how that and then the way down and see how that and then Yeah, exactly. We can always come back Let me know how that looks. Oh, that looks good. Okay, good. Oh, that looks pure. Okay, I think we could be getting somewhere. Yeah. I mean, and and we’ll see how this Yeah. I mean, and and we’ll see how this goes. And if it’s still a little bit spinny, I think maybe we could change the head. Yeah. Okay. Oh. Oh. Hello. Wow, that was a good T-shot. So, if you would like to know, 186 and a half ball speed, 319 carry, it was 0.2 yards offline. Okay, if that bothers you, launched at 11, spin, 128 club head speeds. Yeah, I think I think we Let me hit one more. think I think we Let me hit one more. But that I mean that you know usually they say you should know in the first shot it launched at 11. good. Oh yeah, that launched a bit higher but it doesn’t still I mean I think these are good. This is very nice. That launched at 13. So he launched it up, but even on at 13. So he launched it up, but even on the high launch that spun at 25. That wasn’t like a Yeah. a spinny one at all. 318 carry, you know, start line was good for me there. Would you like to Would you like to try Should we try to Would you like to try Should we try Should we try a different head? I think the shaft’s good for you. Yeah, it is. Yeah, I think the shaft’s been really good. Yeah. Um I’d like to try you in an LS head. An LS? Yeah, I would. Okay, let’s go. You’re Yeah, you’re the expert. 105 LS. Turned all the way down again. Let’s just turn it all the way down. One Let’s just turn it all the way down. One thing at a time, Rory. Have you been fitted before? Did I ask you that? Uh, I have. Yeah, I’ve been I’ve been fitted um once or twice. And how have those experiences been? They’ve been good. Um, yeah, they’ve they’ve been good. experiment. We’ll see how it goes. Yeah. Again, you’re Okay. Thank you, sir. How does it look? Looks amazing. It’s a beautiful looking head, isn’t it? It is a beautiful looking head. Yeah. I just I I haven’t used uh an LS version of a of I haven’t used uh an LS version of a of a driver in in in a little while, so a driver in in in a little while, so it’s why I was quite surprised. But yeah, looks I’m excited to see what happens there. Oh, very low spin, I think. Just under two. Okay. Up to 322 carry. Okay. Close speed 128. Um, so obviously spin was down. The ball speed was exactly the same as the last drive you hit, but you got five extra yards carry. Okay. Four extra yards carry. All right. Let me see if I can carry. All right. Let me see if I can launched exactly the same. I felt I got it a little high on the face. So, let me it a little high on the face. So, let me see if I can hit one that’s a little see if I can hit one that’s a little more out of the middle. Do you feel like it’s just going right on you a little bit a touch? I could on you a little bit a touch? I could just take it up like instead of on the just take it up like instead of on the lowest setting. Well, that was that was pretty speedy though. I mean, it’s fast. I mean, you’ve gained 2 and a half mph ball speed there and 2 and a half mph ball speed there and carried at 325. Launch exactly the same. And your club head speed was basically exactly the same. Okay. So, yeah. Do you want to So, same. Okay. So, yeah. Do you want to So, that’s fast. Take it up. And that’s at two loft. If I just took it up like in two loft. If I just took it up like in between standard and lower fitting’s hard. That’s it. Imagine fitting someone right now. It’s just spraying it everywhere and trying to find like some Which how do you actually use it? I might be using this one. You do a good I might be using this one. You do a good enough job. If you win the masters with this driver, I will let you wear the green jacket for a month. Okay, Tommy. I think this could be the one. I That still doesn’t I mean that that still looks pretty good to me. It still looks good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if we can get that start line in just after we can get that start line in just after the last couple of drives, we’re on the Tommy. I mean, that for me 187 321 carry 12 and a half launch 24 spin at 128 club head speed. Just hit me another one just so I can Just hit me another one just so I can Yeah, I think we’re Don’t even think I need to hold the Where do I pick up? Thank you. It’s good to have you in, Ro. Yeah, thank you very much. Yeah, I think you’ve converted me. I’m glad we helped you out with your driving. I appreciate it. Thank you. Cut. Can I bring this home? It’s unreal.

  1. I don't know what Tommy does for a living but he's certainly got a budding career as a club fitter in his future 🔧

  2. Rory knocking the cover off the ball! I still play my R11S stiff shaft and love it along with all my TaylorMade clubs!!!

  3. Taylormade you need to do another one with these two, but tommy should fit him into a l-flex 12 degree max head😂

  4. this really does perfectly capture the awkwardness of fitting. the idle awkward chat while they're swapping heads and shafts and stuff. nailed it lol

  5. At the end, Tommy should have thrown him the line: We can have a similar one built for you, to these exact specs, and shipped to your door within 2 weeks.

    🤣🤣🤣

  6. It’s so funny how Tommy is in character the whole time and throws in the little one liners every fitter says. “Beautiful isn’t it”

  7. Rory was genuinly shocked at how good he was hitting that final drive configuration. Any word on if he kept that setup after this bit? It was obviously filmed before April.

  8. Yeah Tommy! Walked with his group at the Colonial tournament here in my city. He played well, hope he can get a PGA W soon!
