Six Explanations That Kept Eating the Clock

A fitting block has a fixed amount of time in it. When fifteen minutes of that time goes to explaining why adding loft can lower launch, that is fifteen minutes not spent testing shafts. So the long explanations moved here and the lane got its time back.

Nothing on this page is a substitute for reading your own marks. It is background, written so that when we put a face chart in front of you the vocabulary is already familiar and we can go straight to what your pattern says.

House Rules

What We Will Not Publish

  • Head reviews. Our stock changes and yesterday's verdict ages badly.
  • Distance claims we have not measured on our own lane.
  • Numbers copied from published tour averages and presented as targets.
  • Anything written to rank rather than to answer a real question.

Six entries in several years is a slow pace for a blog. It is about right for a shop that only writes when it has something to say.
