Every Block, One Page
We folded six by-club pages into one. Jump to the club you need, or read straight through — the three marks show up in a different order on each one.
Half an Inch Decides More Than Two Degrees
Move impact from the centre of a driver face out toward the toe and the ball leaves with less speed and more spin; move it low and launch drops while spin climbs. The first twenty minutes of a driver block build a face chart from your own club before touching loft or shaft — length is tested first because it's free to try and it changes what every later test means. Local altitude matters too: the spin figure that keeps a ball airborne through the back half of its flight here is somewhat higher than sea-level charts suggest, since thinner air produces less lift at the same spin rate.
Ground Mark Before Face Mark, Just This Once
A driver never touches the ground, so its face mark is the whole story. A fairway wood struck off a firm lie has to get through the turf before the face ever matters, so this is the one category where we start on the turf lane. Wide, cambered soles skid across firm ground here from June through September; a narrower sole with a sharper leading edge that's fine on soft turf is punishing on a baked summer lie.
Two Numbers Come Before Any Head Selection
Every hybrid fitting begins with the longest iron you hit reliably and the shortest wood you hit reliably — the distance between them is the hole the hybrid is meant to plug. Sometimes that gap is twelve yards and doesn't need a hybrid at all. Iron-style and wood-style hybrids behave differently enough that choosing by looks is a real mistake; we match head style to your delivery and set length and lie to whatever produces a stable ground mark.
Low Point Before Loft
An iron delivers its stamped loft only when the club arrives at the ball at the intended point in its arc — bottom out behind the ball and you've added effective loft and lost speed to the turf. The turf lane comes first, reading low point position and consistency before any shaft testing, because a shaft can't compensate for a delivery error that varies swing to swing. We fit two reference irons directly, then build the rest of the set to a measured progression from those.
Bounce for the Ground You Actually Play
Bounce isn't a skill grade — it's the angle that decides how hard the sole resists digging, set by how steeply you deliver the club and how much the ground gives way. Summer Bermuda here is firm enough that a high-bounce wedge can dig the leading edge into the ball; the same golfer playing an overseeded winter fairway wants that bounce back. A wedge set that works here usually mixes bounce rather than fitting the whole set to one condition.
Start Line Before Stroke Style
The direction a putt starts is governed overwhelmingly by where the face points at contact, far more than path — which makes start line the single most productive thing to measure at the start of a block. We measure it on a flat ten-foot line with a gate for immediate feedback, then set length from your actual address posture, lie angle from sole contact, and head style from your measured face control rather than a personality quiz about stroke type.
