Tommy Fleetwood is your 2025 FedEx Champ and what a victory it was!
Today’s #tourtrucktuesday upload illustrates what we can all learn from Tommy’s success.
Tommy is a great example as to how we should all test golf clubs and push our own limits as to what each individual club can achieve.
Build your golf set around a “one way” miss. Base shaft choices, loft sleeve settings and lie angles on your flight patterns.
These little tweaks will help you improve as a golfer and focus your attention on areas of your game that could genuinely improve with Tommy Fleetwood inspired equipment changes.
The information in this video should answer all your queries but if not then be sure to get into the #comment section with any outstanding questions.

New addition to the kingdom when it comes to the practice balls you can get here. There is now a Pix on the range. So we can easily identify between the two models, lead models in the TP5 and the TP5X golf ball. What else does that have in conjunction with today’s title and today’s video? Well, Mr. Tommy Fleetwood, congratulations on your success. Not only did you win a tour event, you won the cherry that was on top, the tour championship. We have the clubs that Tommy Fleetwood used to win the FedEx Cup championship right here and his golf ball. This video is going to unpack some of the specs he used, why he used them, and a couple of drills that he does to ensure his face is in a good place, but more importantly, some stuff we can learn from the drills that he used week to week on the tour. Dive into it. Be sure to hit subscribe. Tommy Fleetwood, well done. This is a good video dedicated to you. So, first to play out the gate. Congratulations, Tommy Fleetwood. What an absolute baller. Loved the way he took everyone on that success journey with him and the story to get victory. Let’s dive a little bit into his golf clubs and what he does. Let’s kick off with the Mill Grind 5. Notice Tommy uses the Proto cuz he’s been in this thing for so long. He’s got the 56 and the 60 in those lofted wedges that he plays. Took them on pretty much straight out the gate. ridiculous testing process when it comes to Tommy Fleetwood and his wedges because they must do certain things for his game. Other call out is how flat he plays these to help him get the spin and the fall off where he needs it. Mil grind 5 protos they’re in. So the Mil grind five Tommy was big on the prototype version of this and he put them he was the first player I think to put them in. Um plays a bit more belly and I think has full face grooves on his ones but been in since prototypes. very particular on his wedges. The it’s almost like he puts them through a combine test. They’ve got to be able to do certain things and providing his wedges can do those things, then he goes on to put them into play. But very particular when it comes to hitting certain yardages, having them extremely flat. Obviously, it goes to say, and we’ve just done it in a buildout video, the build spec needs to be bang on for what he plays. But if they hit all those windows, that’s why he makes the change. Again, look at how it grades into the Tiger Wood set of irons. Large hedges heads in the wedges that move into the mid irons. Next up, he combos a 52 high toe into those wedges. Something you should consider is mixing both models. Just because you think you’re a mil grind five guy, maybe you are, but I think because of the size and how the high toe looks in the 52, he plays that in his strongest scoring wedge before he gets into those Tiger Woods irons. Now, something he was working on is full face score lines. So, the grooves going all the way across the wedges. The other thing we saw to him as we stick on short game is just how masterful he was. and Q and I got to film with him at the photo shoot the how much detail he would go into when it came to hitting long bunker shots. He would hit those shots and give a second ball into the demonstration. Perhaps we can insert it in here. A long bunker shot would be one ball behind it, sometimes two balls behind it, which would then create more friction between the wedge and the ball because more sand and then give you a different yardage and a different reaction. So, a little known fact is Tommy had some TF irons that were the Tiger irons with TFS on. There were a few of them made, but he actually prefers to play the TWWs. Big Tiger fan, of course, aren’t we all? The unique thing about these irons, and I think the biggest call out, yes, they’re mil grind, so you get them looking fantastic every time. Mill grind being the milling on the sole. Um, but the pitching wedge is quite big. So, when you put it down next to the 52 and you put the set and I bought a nine, an eight, and a five here to illustrate, but notice how big they are in those lofty clubs and how much more sleek they get as you get down into the long clubs. That is the main thing about the Tiger Ions that you’ll notice. Yeah, the grooves are a little closer together and there’s a unique groove pattern in there that Tommy plays which is available, but at the end of the day, the reason he plays these is for the flow through the set. And I think that’s something that’s important to Tommy because if you look at the 60 and the 56 and the mil grind proto, then moving into that 52 high toe, he clearly cares about how the clubs look through the bag as they grade in size. His lie angles, what do we mean by lie angles? the relationship between the turf and the club are very flat. So the toe of the golf club is a little bit further away. This all comes for design as to the history of his golf game. I’ve talked personally to him about this and why he has that cailed follow through. I’m also going to say what we can learn from it. I actually grew up having lessons from the guy who coached him for a long period of time from where I’m from in the UK and Tommy’s from in the UK. There’s a guy called Alan Thompson at Hezwell Golf Club. Not sure he teaches there anymore, but he was the guy that got Tommy from a young age to to the player he morphed into and became. And a lot of it was controlling the face angle. So the flatter lie angles because of the way Tommy would swing the golf club, he would have a miss left. So you take someone like Tommy’s stature. It might be your stature. is a little bit taller than me. Borderline getting close to 5’10”, I assume. But as a junior, when they swing the golf club, the club can get behind you and then you back up. Back up meaning your head will tilt back and you will flip the hands and throw them. And as you come through, you see this high finish from kids quite often trying to hit it a long way to hit big draws. When you go for irons that are flatter, that then means that you eliminate the left side. The reason I’ve got this set up like this, you’ll see he has a plane for the back for the down swing and then he puts a yoga block where I’ve got the second stick. Set it up to your target. As I hit on earlier, Tommy can get a little underneath and backed up. So, the reason he puts these objects in the way with the yoga block that he puts there and the plane is to ensure that he doesn’t get on his checkpoints too far behind him to then flip and the arms come off the body and the face flips and the ball moves. As a result, again, the lie angle in the irons are a hair flatter. So, when it comes to your custom fitting, these are things that you want to be discussing in these Tiger irons, Tommy irons. And I’ve only bought four of them out that I think you should look at. Notice how the pitching and it’s important you look at a set of irons together. So, here is pitching wedge, 9 iron, 8 iron, and five iron. Notice how much smaller the five iron is in the look of the blade versus the pitching wedge. Tommy plays 52 high toe. That is a big 52 degree wedge. We have it over there. His other wedge is a mil grind five. What he does that makes him similar to Tiger is he likes the larger iron in the wedges to progress down into the long iron. So Tommy’s long irons, much like Tiger’s setup, is smaller in the five iron versus the pitching wedge. Interesting. Think about it. A three iron, a four iron, a five iron, those of you still play threes. There’s not probably about 1% of you on the channel, much like the over 65 year olds basic. We love you, by the way, my 1%. But you guys out there would remember, you’d want a large three iron is what you’d think. And I’ve noticed on Tommy Fleetwood’s recent video where he’s trying to learn left-handed, he’s using the Qi 10 iron, which is huge, and his ball striking is all across the face. So for the tour champs, Tommy had the 9wood, the fivewood, the mini driver, and the driver. He used 80 grams in the nine and the fivewood, and then he used 60 g in the mini driver and the driver in the golf shafts. That’s the thing you’ve got to learn from this. If you put more loft on your nine wood, yes, the apex is higher, it can stop. I get it all. But one of the things I see in the golf stores when I look around is that the shafts aren’t heavy enough. So there is the importance. If you’ve got some speed and you’re looking to put one of these in to help you and you’re a decent player, get the golf shaft nice and heavy. This one in my hand is 80 g and it’s tip trim quite a bit. It’s important you consider that when you look at one of these golf clubs because it will control the apex. Also, if you catch it out the toe because of gear effect, which is how the ball spins off the face in relation to a back center of gravity. So, if you hit it towy, it will draw. If you hit ity, it will fade. designed to help you. Four iron isn’t going to do that as much as a ninewood, but you got to have a shaft that’s strong and has low torque. Low torque is twist in the blade. Tommy does that in the nine and the fivewood for this tournament. That’s the biggest thing that you can learn from this weight in the shafts and low torque that are tip trimmed, meaning they cut down here. If you got no clue what I’m talking about, there’s a ton of videos in the channel that cover tip trimming and weight and why we want heavy weights in our lofted fairway woods. That’s absolutely something that I don’t see enough of out at retail that you can do as a good player. That particular week, he played one of these, a Qi35 Ninewood, and he’s flat out gone there and said certain golf courses, this is what he likes to use. So he went from his five iron into his ninewood for that given week. He plays the shaft with a little bit more weight, much like this one we’ve got in front of us. And he can peak height this thing wherever he feels like because it comes down so soft with the peak height. Lands so soft on those quick to greens. So we’ll just put in ninewood here. Maybe not an ideal golf club today for the simple fact that we’re hitting into breeze, but if you’re Tommy Fleetwood and you’re making a Tommy Fleetwood video, you make exceptions. Again, you want to be Look how short this club is when it comes to setup. Let’s compare it to the n the four iron. So, yardage wise, we’re probably getting a little bit more out of it, but you can do so much with manipulating this golf club. just easy to hit. Notice how quickly that stopped down there. Well, even wasn’t the best shot, but think about the ease of these versus hitting a four iron. The mini driver has been a club that Tommy’s famously used. Reasons for it to tracks along. He’s got the fivewood in. He’s got the 9wood in. He needs a beast when it comes to his 3-wood. and he happens to go for the R seven quad mini driver. He’s gone for mini driver most years. The face for to certainly isn’t too deep that you can’t get it to do what you need it to do. If the fairways get narrow and tight, you can put a little peg in there. No worries. It’ll go in play. You know, he likes to choke it down. As you’ve got a mini driver shaft, it plays a little shorter anyway, which means for him, he can stay centered and on top of the thing, not back up, not flip, keep the ball in play. imperative for tour could be something that you guys out there want to consider as you look at a mini driver. The big dog, he uses a Qi35 or a version of it from the Tour. It spins more than the LS. He plays it with 10.5 loft. That’s quite a lot of loft. But for Tommy, he likes to see the loft so that he doesn’t again back up. It’s something I keep talking about. You see it in chipping first when it comes to poor chippers. They try and help the ball in the air. The trick is with golf and good golfers for sure is to stay centered. So notice how the cap is in line with you looking at it and turn onto the golf club onto the golf ball so we can hold the face angle and have that cailed follow through. As you look at Fleetwood, he’s got the left arm close to the body similar to JJ Spawn. What are we seeing here? A trend of players that are winning big tournaments controlling the face. But if we get back to the Qi35 model, even just looking at the footprint that you guys can see, mass out in the toe and the heel when you put it behind the ball, this thing looks a bit more blocky. That means if you hit it away from the center, it stays in play. So, this is going to be a much straighter driver for you. And you’re hitting some of those bomb drives you hit down the last few or because he’s using a driver that is going to keep that thing in play. And of course, it’s dialed in to the golf ball that he uses and the spin rate, which is that TP5X picks. The journey of Tommy and his spider putter has been an interesting one. He’s gone through the truss. He’s gone through different models. He’s used various stos from Tailor Made before. Always wanted to stick on that blade. You’ll notice now he’s ended up in a version of what I’ve got in my hand. It doesn’t have the true path on. It’s a black top and then it’s got a middle leading line short like we saw with Nelly Corder just to my finger and then it flank it’s flanked by white lines that have been added actually by white out tipex for the UK guys on both the left and the right. He had an option where that was milled in and he chose to stick with the one that had the white out put on there or the tipex using the usual claw grip and his strokes gain numbers with this putter customized for him were off the charts. The lesson here that we can all learn is that mallets ultimately are higher MOI so they maintain speed if you don’t hit them in the center. I’ve said it to you before testing here at the kingdom with some of the best putters in the world. Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, John Ram, they don’t hit the center all the time, believe it or not, from 15 feet. And that’s a fact when we put them on the system. So, anything that maintains the energy transfer, the ratio of speed, the smash factor when it comes to woods and irons, anything that maintains that speed is going to help your putting. That can be seen with Tommy when it comes to the stats. It’s another cracking example of how he embraces technology and takes it on board. that he goes through his due diligence and his testing, but he embraces it to make him maximize, optimize his performance. We can all learn from that, too. Another good reason you should be out there chatting to your fitter about what’s out there for your game and what can help you. So, what can we learn from the overall look of Tommy Fleetwood set? The number one thing, and we see this from him at every test session that he comes to, is his openminded nature to try new things. He’s one of the few players on tour that is in the picks golf ball. Look at the numbers, the strokes gained putting he had with that. The spider putter, it took him a long time to get into that. We had a journey through the truss model that went into that putter. He’s tried lie angle balance putters. He’s tried everything. I can even confirm that he practices sometimes at home with old traditional hickory stuff when it comes to playing. He’s told me he takes those things out in a little carry bag just out of respect for where golf’s come from. I think as you look at his set, he keeps some tradition in there with the Tiger Woods irons. But the fact that he’s got a high toe wedge comboed with mil grind five proto first player to get into that. Then you can look at a lofted ninewood. Not many players go down that route certainly to replace a 4iron. Then he’s got a four iron that’s a P770 that’s polar opposite really now it’s a cracking club polar opposite though from a bladed fiveiron through to lofted fairwaywoods that he’s even said on the troty golf channel how good is a ninewood his exact words mini driver has a place in that bag because he knows his skills on large golf courses and then the Qi35 core model not been many players that have put that in either so I think the thing to take away from this as we learn from Tommy Fleetwood is just how open he is to drying stuff, putting it through a tough regime, knowing his data, knowing his numbers, having a great relationship with his equipment providers and the launch monitor and the ball flight and remembering that the score is what’s required to get it done. Even the way he played those last few holes, it was all in an attempt to get it done. Yes, he’d staggered over the line, but you could almost see as we went on the journey with him, as he explained that we were learning with him almost how to win these massive, massive tournaments. If you love what you’re seeing and you want more of this, get in the comments, let me know what you want to see. Huge congratulations to Tommy Fleetwood. I’ve been on the peripheral of this journey, but to see it and to know what you’ve put into it, massive congratulations. Well done to our tour champion for 2025. [Music]

Would love a 9w Trottie but yall don't like lefties but maybe now Tommy learning lefty you'll finally offer?!? Please.
Hyped the video. Trottie is #1
Trottie, would you mind explaining why Taylormade don't offer his driver to regular buyers.
Why do Taylormade make one driver for the pros like Rory, Scottie and Tommy (i.e Dot model, Version 2) and give us a different model (retail). Like the Dot model Qi35 isn't even the same size as the retail model.
I feel like we're getting the tennis racquets you see in Sports Direct that have the same paintjob as used by the pros but are just cheap knock offs.
Nobody at Taylormade is ready to talk about the DOT models. I find it deceiving for customers, who think they get the same model as the pros.
Curious what Jumbomax grip was on that 9 wood. Looks like a Ultra Lite blackout.
fairway Jesus,Tommy fleetwood, “My Man”
what shoes are you wearing?
What I enjoy most about this channel is the presentation of various ways to achieve good golf. What one player finds confidence in another may not.
Ive always been open to tinker, I’ve played 5w with 3w shafts in the past, because it hit a desired window/distance.
I currently play a half set of 2009 TP irons pw, 8i, 6i, BRNR mini with upgraded shaft, 5w, 9w. As mentioned in the video, heavier in the shaft for both the 5w & 9w with a stiffer tip section for face control. 9w is such a useful club. Poor tee shots where you need to advance the ball over trees, play a flighted shot etc so much easier than a 4i to achieve & WAY more fun.
Cheers trottie
Got the chance to watch Tommy at Wentworth today, he has such a great attitude towards the game and so happy for him!
Another great video trottie, I love how you approach the game like no one else!
