The Fitting Menu

Eight things happen in this building. Six of them are club-specific bay sessions, one is a whole-bag review, and one is bench work that needs no session at all. Nothing is bundled into a package with a name, because packages tend to sell people a putter appointment they did not want.

Sessions Are Booked by Club

Almost nobody arrives with a general complaint. They arrive because the driver goes right, or the six iron will not hold a green, or the fifty-six is digging. Booking by club keeps the ninety minutes pointed at the thing that actually brought you here.

Bench 01

Driver

Head, loft, length, weighting and shaft, judged on where the face is meeting the ball before anything else. The club most distorted by an enclosed bay, so the offset matters most here.

What we look at →
Bench 02

Fairway Wood

Sole shape against wet Valley turf, plus a length conversation most golfers have never had. Distance is the least interesting number in this session.

What we look at →
Bench 03

Hybrid

Where the long irons stop paying rent. Descent angle drives this decision, and descent angle is exactly the figure the bay has to model rather than see.

What we look at →
Bench 04

Irons

Lie, length, shaft weight and the spacing between clubs, fitted as a ladder. Face tape on every strike, because an average built from three toe hits is not an average.

What we look at →
Bench 05

Wedges

Bounce and grind chosen against the turf you meet in the months you actually play, with a candid account of how little a mat can tell us about either.

What we look at →
Bench 06

Putter

Length, lie, loft, balance and start line on a flat indoor surface. The only category where being indoors is a straightforward advantage rather than a compromise.

What we look at →
A

The Whole-Bag Review

Three hours, and you may split it across two visits without paying twice. It starts with every club on the gauges and ends with a ranked list of what is worth spending money on. Frequently the list says something inconvenient, like your irons are fine and your wedges are four seasons past their groove life.

The review is not a fitting for fourteen clubs. It is a diagnosis of where the set is failing you, followed by an argument about which two or three fixes will move your scoring. People who book it usually leave having spent less than they expected.

Rates for the review →

What comes out of three hours

  • Loft, lie, length and swing weight on every club
  • Grip condition and core size, club by club
  • Carry ladder with the bay-to-turf correction applied
  • The two places your set doubles up on distance
  • A written order of operations, cheapest useful fix first
B

Audit Day Seats

From April through September we run Sunday blocks on grass. These exist to keep the offset table honest, and we sell a limited number of seats to clients who want their own correction rather than the pooled one printed on the studio card.

You hit your own clubs, with your own ball, in the bay and then outdoors inside the same week. Both sets of numbers go into the sheet together. What you get back is a table that says how far your personal bay figures sit from your personal turf figures, club by club.

How the pairing works →

Rules for an audit seat

  • Bay block first, turf block within seven days
  • Same ball model in both, straight from a sleeve
  • Cancelled and rescheduled if the grass is saturated
  • Minimum twenty scored strikes per club, per block
  • Your table is yours; only pooled figures reach the card
C

Bench Work Without a Session

Plenty of what improves a golf bag needs no bay time at all. Regripping, loft and lie correction, shaft replacement, length changes, ferrule repair and swing weight adjustment are all drop-off jobs. Every one of them comes back with the measured figure before and the measured figure after.

We work on clubs regardless of where they were bought. The only jobs we decline are heads with a compromised hosel or a visible crack, because neither survives being heated.

What sits on the rack →

Common drop-off jobs

  • Regrip, single club or full set
  • Loft and lie correction on bendable heads
  • Reshaft, including tip trim and spine work
  • Length change with swing weight restored
  • Groove inspection and honest wedge triage
Before You Book

Three Things That Change What You Should Book

I You have not been gauged in years Start with a gauge-only appointment. It costs little and often makes a full session unnecessary this season.
II You play mostly in winter Book the bay session now and add an audit seat in April. Fitting cold-turf golf on August assumptions is the classic mistake.
III You already have a spec sheet Book the second-opinion read. Forty-five minutes, no testing, and we tell you which lines on it we would question.

Things We Do Not Do

A short list is more useful than a long one. If you need any of the following, we will happily point you somewhere in Lane County rather than pretend we cover it.

  • Swing instruction of any kind. We measure clubs, not swings.
  • Club repair on heads with hosel damage or visible cracking.
  • Trade-in valuation. We do not buy or resell used equipment.
  • Same-day builds. Nothing leaves without a post-build gauge check.
  • Fittings run on range balls. If we cannot control the ball, we are not measuring.
