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

which head do you actually use it 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 [Music] 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 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 okay i like that if you hit one more drive like 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 seems Yeah yeah i don’t think that’s 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 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 okay select tempo quick let’s go quick you seem like correct um 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 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 okay what is your setting um that’s just That looks like a I’ll put it on standard are you happy with standard um I think I’m happy with standard yeah i think is this is this you 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 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 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 core is it yeah that’s the because it’s think these ones stay next 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 i’m so good at my job 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 shaft it feels good yeah it’s too spinny okay feel okay like shaft feel okay sort of yeah yeah it feels it’s got a it’s got 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 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 go all the way down do you want to go all the way down yeah let’s go all the way down and see how that and then Yeah exactly we can always come back up 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 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 2,200 spin 128 club head speeds yeah I 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 that’s 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 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 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 i think I’m going to go for a 105 LS turned all the way down again 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 okay so this is just an 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 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 launched exactly the same i felt I got it a little high on the face so let me 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 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 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 that’s fast take it up and that’s at 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 Pick a line yeah yeah okay which how do you actually use it 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 i mean if we can get that start line in just after the last couple of drives we’re on the money oh 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 Yeah I think we’re Don’t even think I need to hold the iPad 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 good job good job

  1. Someone tell Rory he should be using this Tommy Fleetwood built driver for the US Open instead of the failed experiments he's used the last couple of tournaments.

  2. Bit of an OG by TaylorMade posting this! I've always thought getting fitted for a driver is over rated.

  3. Damage limitation by TaylorMade. Rory gets his club scrutiny time and flops out of the next 2 tourney's. Time to send in the marketeers.
