Every Club, One Bay
Every category below is read from the same enclosed bay, and every category carries the same honest treatment: raw bay figures corrected against outdoor audit data rather than handed over flat. Jump to a bench, or book a full-bag session and we'll run all six.
Driver — The Club the Bay Distorts Most
Strike pattern comes before every other question: we tape the face every block, since where you meet it governs spin, curvature, and effective loft more than any component swap. Bay carry runs 2.4 to 7.2 yards long depending on speed band, and we hand over the correction rather than the raw number. About one driver session in five ends with the client keeping the head and changing only shaft, length, or grip.
Fairway Woods — Sole Before Loft
A fairway wood is a ground club pretending to be a tee club, and an indoor mat forgives a shallow strike in a way wet Willamette Valley turf never will. We tape the sole and read the wear line rather than trusting a flattering mat strike, and we test shortening the club in nearly every session — a wood that gains carry through better contact after losing half an inch is a common outcome. Corrected carry, not raw bay carry, is what decides whether you need two woods or one.
Hybrids — A Question About Landing, Not Leaving
Every hybrid decision comes down to whether the club can descend steeply enough to stop on a green that's been rained on since October — a figure the bay has to infer, corrected by roughly half a degree against our outdoor audit table. We score the lower third of each block separately, since a hybrid that only wins on medians against a long iron but pulls ahead on mis-hits is the whole argument for carrying one.
Irons — Fitted as a Ladder
An iron set's job is evenly spaced, repeatable rungs, and any change that helps one club while collapsing the spacing around it makes the set worse. Dynamic sole marks across a full block decide lie angle, not a static gauge reading, and shaft weight is tested as its own axis before profile. Mid irons translate from bay to grass better than any other category — the measured gap on a six iron sits around two yards — which is why we can be assertive about iron gapping from indoor data.
Wedges — Where We Say Plainly What Indoors Can't Show
Bounce is a relationship between a sole and a surface, and our primary surface is a mat — so we settle gapping, spin windows, and full-swing consistency indoors with confidence, and loan a demo head to play outdoors for the short-game half rather than guess. Gapping starts at the pitching wedge, measured rather than assumed from the catalogue, since modern strong lofts push the whole bottom of the bag out of shape.
Putter — The One Bench Where Indoors Is an Advantage
No flight to model, no air to correct for, no offset card to print — a flat surface and consistent roll is exactly what a putting stroke needs to be measured rather than guessed at. An aim reading at six feet comes before a single stroke is discussed, and length, lie, loft, and balance are moved in that order, since head shape is what people shop for and the last thing we touch.
Book Any Bench, or All Six
Single-category sessions run 60–90 minutes. Ask about a full-bag day to cover all six in one visit.
