Driver
For the player whose tee shot is unreliable in direction, not merely short. We work the head, the loft setting, the shaft and the finished length against a carry window sized to the fairways you actually play.
Driver sessionsMost fitting menus are built around price bands. Bronze gets you an hour, silver gets you two, gold gets you the whole bag and a coffee. That structure exists to move people up a ladder, and it tells you nothing about whether the session will answer your question.
Ours is organised by the job in front of us. A driver session and a wedge session are different pieces of work with different instruments, different reference readings and different amounts of time on the bench. Charging for them as slices of a package would hide that.
The practical consequence is that you can spend a hundred and ninety dollars here, get a properly documented answer about your irons, and walk out without ever being told that the answer would have been better if you had bought the larger tier.
Whichever session you book, the sequence underneath is identical. The room gets logged before anything is swung. Your current equipment gets measured before anything new comes off the rack. Changes happen one variable at a time. The sheet prints before you leave, with the conditions header intact and a second column showing what the same club is likely to do in cooler, denser air somewhere else.
That last column is the part players tell us they end up using most, and it is the reason we will not quote a distance on this website without saying where it was recorded.
If your grips are eight years old and slick, a fitting is the wrong purchase. Regrip first, play a month, then come back. The same goes for a driver with a cracked face or irons whose lofts have never been checked in a decade.
Call the desk and describe the problem. Roughly one enquiry in six ends with us recommending bench work instead of a session, which is cheaper for you and quicker for us.
Ring the DeskRead the one that matches the shot that keeps costing you. If two of them sound right, ring the desk rather than booking both; usually one is upstream of the other.
For the player whose tee shot is unreliable in direction, not merely short. We work the head, the loft setting, the shaft and the finished length against a carry window sized to the fairways you actually play.
Driver sessionsFor the player who cannot say with confidence what any given iron carries. Spacing gets measured first, and the head and shaft choices follow from the holes we find rather than from a catalogue preference.
Iron sessionsFor the player who can hit a three wood off a tee and never off the deck. Sole geometry and launch window carry more weight here than in any other part of the bag.
Fairway wood sessionsFor the player whose long irons have quietly stopped earning their slots. We measure where the crossover genuinely sits instead of assuming it lands at the four iron.
Hybrid sessionsFor the player leaving strokes inside a hundred yards. Bounce and grind get selected for the turf you play most, which in this valley means picking a season and committing to it.
Wedge sessionsFor the player missing short ones on a predictable side. Length, lie, loft and head balance measured on a roll mat, with valley Bermuda grain treated as a real variable.
Putter sessionsTwo sessions can be run back to back in one visit, which most players choose when they live outside the valley. There is a modest reduction for the second, and the two share a single conditions header so the readings sit on comparable footing.
Three in a day is possible on paper and poor practice in reality. Fatigue starts showing in the spread by the fourth hour, and a widening spread is exactly the thing a fitting is supposed to measure.
A good deal of what leaves this building never involved a launch monitor at all. Bench work is booked by the job, priced by the job, and does not require you to stand in a bay.
| Job | Turnaround | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Regripping | Same week | Tape count matched to hand measurement, not guessed |
| Loft and lie audit | 2 days | Whole set gauged, drift recorded against the last visit |
| Reshaft | 3 to 4 days | Pull, clean, re-epoxy, re-weigh, re-check |
| Length change | 3 days | Trim or extend, then head weight corrected |
| Swingweight matching | 2 to 3 days | Set brought to a single figure and logged |
| Groove inspection | Same day | Edge condition photographed and filed |
Bench work on clubs we did not build is welcome and charged the same. We will tell you honestly if a club is not worth the labour before starting it.
Bench ratesThe honest ranking, from a studio that would happily sell you all six.
Approach play is where the largest number of strokes hide, and iron spacing is the single most commonly broken thing we see. Players routinely arrive with two clubs landing four yards apart and a thirty-yard hole somewhere else in the set, having never measured either.
Baked valley turf in August and overseeded rye in February are genuinely different surfaces. A sole that works beautifully in one can be unplayable in the other, and most players own a set chosen for neither.
A driver that misses both directions is usually a shaft and length problem rather than a head problem, and that is worth measuring. A driver that misses one direction consistently is often cheaper to fix with a lesson, and we will say so.
Putter fittings help enormously when there is a repeatable directional bias. If your misses are scattered, the equipment is not the constraint yet and we would rather you spent the money on green time.
Describe the shot that keeps costing you. Two minutes on the phone usually settles it, and occasionally the answer is that you do not need us at all.
