Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson's Wedge Clinic | TaylorMade Golf 

I love how nearly all of Rory’s shots were way closer and he just stays silent the whole time. Pure class

I love how Rory waits to make sure he isn't interrupting DJ but DJ just goes for it 😂😂

I’ve never been DJ’s biggest fan… but I find him utterly entertaining on these Taylormade sessions. He always seems willing to impart his knowledge and gives great explanations…

these are the kind of sessions you need to do more of...chatting and learning what pros think with their gear and shots. a lot of the TM videos are too gimmicky.

Props to trottie, he makes these videos just gel by asking all the right questions with a bit of banter, absolutely class

Sitting here watching these two hit so consistently is amazing to me

Watching dustin and Rory turn around in sync was satisfying. at 00:20

This is the first time it feels like DJ actually wanted to be on camera and talk

Rory is like he became pro by his ability to think and implement. DJ feels more like a drunken boxing type guy who hasnt overthinked anything ever.

Wondering if this was before or after LIV, seemed Rory kinda winced when he said "we're 2 of the longest players on the tour"

OMG! These videos are just absolute GOLD!!! Thank you TaylorMade Golf and everyone involved in making these videos :) My favorite content!!!!

Watching wedge play like this is such a treat!

Incredibly educational within an actual conversation, with context and evidence couldn’t be better keep it coming🔥

Watching Rory’s shots really shows how much a clean club-face will effect the distance and backspin. Before he wipes his club-face off were hitting the green and stopping right away. Once he cleaned them, they’d bounce and rip back. I could never achieve a backspin until I started cleaning my club-face consistently and making sure my practice balls were all clean/softer golf balls.. also all the same golf balls for consistency (got a few dozen Tour-Response balls that were used for super cheap) it’s a good feeling once you get one ripping back

Great idea guys. So relaxed and open discussion.

This is just awesome. How this doesn't have a million views blows my mind. Two masters of the game just talking through the process. Brilliant.

Great Video, cool to hear the mindset of top level players! They make it look so easy......awesome!

Rory's wedge game has improved so much, its amazing

It was great to hear their % practice shots with wedges. I had a wedge lesson 3 weeks ago and I now do 30-40% of my practice with wedges. I still need a lot of work on the rest of my game, of course!

Crazy watching Rory and his spin differences when he cleans the face of his wedge, versus when it starts to get dirty and doesn’t spin.

Two very different dialects of the same language. I feel that these TM session videos will be something players generations down the road will watch. Great insights for different types of people to understand. If nothing else it’s mesmerizing to watch pros make 90% green in reg with that proximity. Great stuff.

Some fantastic insight here from some of the greats. Thanks for including us!

So pure. These guys are just incredibly good 🔥

My favourite golfer overall and my favourite golfer in LIV. It’s a good day

Legends right there. Thank you muchly for the great info

Fascinating insight into how pros approach approach play

Half hour in one vid - gold dust, well done TM 👏

Pure gold right here.

Well done Trottie and team. World class content as always.

I have a little trick I've done most of my life that my dad taught me with my wedges. Don't clean them after your shot! And the reason is if you have a shot, you need a little less spin. A wedge with a little dirt in the groves will do just that. Spin a little less. If you do need that wedge to spin, you can then clean it up before the shot. It's always done right by me.

I don't know when this video was actually shot but it's great to see these two TaylorMade team pros doing this clinic together. All the recent hype about the animosity between PGA and LIV tour pros seem to be non-existent and I certainly hope that's the case still. I like both of them and their shot making abilities and definitely hope more of these videos will be forthcoming in the future. I especially love hearing them say they change their wedges every couple of weeks to couple of months! I still use my wedges that I've had for over 10 years, lol.....maybe that's why I don't have to worry about excess spin!

impressive DJ manage to get those shots so stright. Crazy closed club at the top, so if he is not turning very fast, this is gonna be massive hooks

The best bit from this is the don't take any off, take your swing and add some always make sure you are accelerating through the ball

Love these videos 🧨

Awesome video!

I for one actually enjoy the simplicity of this production. You don't need drone footage or tracers on every video

Well done team taylormade

The mg3 instead of the stock pitching wedge is like a surgical instrument compared to a carpenters tools. I always go back to my 48, my pw is about 47 so it works good I just lose about a yard.

This consistency is bonkers, all of them hit the green

they're playing a different game me. good stuff.

This kind of video is the best

Trottie has the dream job, mixing with all the top TM pros

Great info

How long ago was this recorded since DJ is with LIV?

A shot tracer would have been cool in this scenario.

Nice to see the pros are human too. I too hit crazy good(for level I am at) at the practice session but its quite another thing to repeat that in play. I guarantee they dont hit that well in actual tournament otherwise we wouldnt see chip shots all the time. See there at the end yeah DJ was rushing but I would call it pressure.

I’d like to know if they use same length shafts or not or what shaft length they each use? DJ is taller and would think his are longer

Great content, but production value and camera angles don’t sufficiently support that content. #1: Need shot tracer on every shot so we can actual see flight & curve. #2: Need camera positioned at rear of green and high…either JIB or drone. Current camera angle gives no reference at to how close they are getting it to going in the hole. #3: Would be a great additional perk to have trackman numbers showing spin rate and launch angle of each shot (because that’s what you’re talking about). Need to up the production value to match the content!

Wonder if next season when new equipment come out the staff players from liv are going to be in it.

Surprised they still post these after everything that’s happened (i know it was filmed awhile back but still)

" I don't want too much spin" while each shot spin back like mad, lol

Rory is such a class act!

Jesus Christ that spin DJ put on the ball with the 60 degree @18:15

Was this filmed before or after DJ went to LIV?

Man, these guys are good. I would have had balls everywhere lmao

I bought a 54 degree milled grind last year could not hit a ball 75 yards, found out it was bent to a 56 degree so I had them bend it to a 52 degree to cover my gap between 100 to 120 yards , in the meantime I bought a top flight gamer 52degree wedge for 15 dollars just for the same reason, I hit that 115 yards, then when I got my TM wedge back I couldn't hit it past 91 yards, I tried everything ball back, ball forward everything I cannot hit that club, any suggestions? Maybe a defect?

I like Rory and DJ.

I have been as low as a +2 handicap with swing speed at 120 mph. Never do the balls spin like this on the course in my area Seattle. So my point is, don't always think its you that can't spin it like this. It takes perfect conditions.

Wonder how long ago it was made… don’t see Rory and DJ making this video with liv now

What was the high bounce? a 12 or higher?

What golf course is this at? I'm pretty sure it's in Jupiter, FL...I also think both these guys have a house down there.

I know they play more golf than most people, but there is no way I am switching out a club a year because of the raw face being too worn lmao. That is too expensive for me. FYI the new hi-toe is great, I used one at the range the other day. The micro ribs were imparting some good control, and to be honest the face looks great too. I usually stay away from clubs with finishes, as it gets worn off after a couple rounds and looks terrible. I'd rather no finish with just the raw metal coloring.

18:10 That ammount of backspin is just crazy to me

Rory legitimately ripping a 2'x2' patch out of the fairway by the end lol

What course is this? Anyone know?

Wait who is the two guys on the left I know the guy on the right. The legend himself Chris Trottieeeeee

is this old footage because PGA vs LIV

Wonder if they will do this again next year…lol.

Is it Rory’s birthday? This man’s got cake. 😳

70% practice spent with wedges... Wow. Time to hit up the chip n putt

O. old footage?

Never saw Dustin talk that much... cool guy.

I'm thinking about how happy the grounds crew is about having to fix up them fairways after this.

Taylormade trying to keep the peace between their golfers 😂

The amount of spin they get with each shot is really inconsistent - I’d like to know what they’re doing to get such different amounts of spin shot to shot. Or is that just the club face that makes it hard even for them to control spin magnitude on even half shots?

0:22 they both moved in sync

This was definitely shot before DJ went to LIV hahaha.

I love the insight but don't be mistaken, this is one long extended commercial for Taylormade wedges 😂📽🎬

I need to know how I can stop my forward spin with my irons😂

What irons are they using ! Stealth or P790

My practice is 70-80 percent 9i,pw, wedge that’s where the similarities end , I haven’t changed my one and only 52 wedge for four years 😂 Tbh I don’t think I would like a newer more grippy one .

10:41 Rory and dustin step to the ball in sync

Didn’t think they were that close for the amount of balls they were hitting

Rory & Dustin wedge clinic? I'll take Tiger and Phil for the win.

Somebody explain how to hit the 10 foot fade with the wedge.

Yeah I change my wedge 2 or 3 times a decade, usually when the grip is as slippery as a greased weasel or after I've helicoptered it into a lake!!! (not the weasel, no animal abuse here)

Yo DJ! Can I have your latest wedge set you don’t use 😬

I change out my wedges roughly every 15 years.

This video was (knuckle) cracking

I would have dug a grave yard if I was hitting that many wedges. The one thing I liked hearing was never hit full wedge shots.

So what’s good with those couple week old 60s? I’ll could take a few

Is this before or after LIV

GO DJ..

LOL was this pre DJ going to LIV??

We love basic videos

If only I could hit off fairways like that

I’m not saying one is right, and one is wrong, or one is better than the other but they’re polar opposites. Rory is so technical and DJ is feel. It’s funny how DJ seems to believe that they’re similar players lol

Sound and consistency are just ridiculous. “Practice like you play” words to live by.

Think this is the last time these 2 hung out? 😂

Looks like dj has a bit of an open stance, makes sense for how much his is spinning compared to Rory's
