Fitting by Club
Six sessions, each still run on its own bench protocol and its own clock. Jump to a category below for the outline, or book straight in if you already know which one you need.
Choose a Category
Driver Session
Face first, components second, length and balance last. Impact tape on the face and a dozen relaxed swings establish your strike pattern before anything about heads or shafts gets discussed — a tight, central cluster and a scattered one lead to genuinely different sessions from that point on.
Length usually comes off in quarter-inch steps, re-reading the tape after each trim, since a shorter shaft tightens the pattern in the large majority of fittings we run.
Iron Session
The session that changes the most scorecards. Lie angle is measured off a board at your normal swing pace, not quoted from a height-and-wrist chart, then corrected on the machine and re-verified the same afternoon. Roughly half the sets that come through this bench need at least three clubs adjusted.
Loft progression, length, and grip size all get checked against the corrected lie readings before any shaft or head discussion starts.
Fairway Wood Session
Half the session is spent watching how the sole enters the turf, run off a strip that shows the contact point clearly. A narrow, sharp-edged sole catching turf early bleeds speed that loft can never fully buy back — that's a more common finding here than a launch-angle problem.
Part of the session also checks whether the club earns its slot at all against a hybrid covering the same distance with a better strike rate.
Hybrid Session
A hybrid is a gap solution, not a category everyone needs. We chart every carry distance from driver down to your shortest iron on a ladder, and the hole shows up immediately — often not where you assumed it was. Sometimes the answer is one hybrid, sometimes two, occasionally a five-wood and no hybrid at all.
Bring every long club you own, including whatever you've already stopped carrying.
Wedge Session
Starts with a groove inspection under magnification on whatever you already carry — a sand wedge that's taken four seasons of bunker work often has more spin loss sitting in the grooves than in anything a bounce or grind change would fix. Once groove condition is confirmed healthy, the session moves to bounce and grind chosen against West Michigan turf specifically.
Bring the pitching wedge from your iron set — gapping starts at that loft.
Putter Session
The cheapest fitting in the building and frequently the one that removes the most strokes. Most putters are bought off a rack at whatever length the manufacturer chose, nearly always too long for a comfortable posture. We set length to your actual posture first, correct lie so the sole sits flat, and only then look at head shape and toe hang against your measured stroke.

Every session ends with a written spec card, kept on file for future re-checks.
