Bench Work

Six Benches, Six Different Failures

A driver leaks speed off the toe. A wedge leaks it in the third inch of turf. Grouping them into one appointment and calling it a full-bag fitting is how detail gets lost, so we do not.

Common Ground

What Happens At Every Bench, Whichever One You Book

The protocols differ. The spine of the session does not. Four things happen no matter which club you have come in about, and they happen in this order every time.

The point of a fixed spine is comparability. When a golfer returns two years later for a different club, the earlier card can be read against the new one without anybody having to remember how that first session was run.

  1. Your current club is measured first

    Before a single replacement is handed over, whatever you walked in with goes on the scale, the frequency meter, and the loft and lie gauge. Half the time the specs do not match what the sticker claims, and that alone changes the conversation.

  2. A strike census is taken

    Fourteen swings with impact tape refreshed every three. We are recording where on the face contact lands and what ball speed each strike produced — not hunting for a good one.

  3. One variable moves at a time

    Shaft, then length, then head, then weighting. Changing two together tells you something improved without telling you which change did it, and the card has to be able to say why.

  4. The build is assembled here

    Cut, trimmed, epoxied, weighted, and gripped on the bench you were fitted at. Nothing is drop-shipped from a factory with a spec sheet attached and hoped for.

The Benches

Pick The Club That Is Costing You Most

If you are unsure which bench to book, call and describe the shot that annoys you most often. Nine times out of ten that sentence picks the bench for you.

Bench 01 · 90 min

Driver Bench

Retention work at full speed. Head mass, shaft bend profile, playing length, and tee height are moved against the spread between your best and worst strike of the set.

Bench 02 · 105 min

Iron Bench

Progression read across the set, then lie, length, and shaft weight set so the address picture and the turf entry stay consistent from long iron to pitching wedge.

Bench 03 · 75 min

Fairway Wood Bench

Leading-edge height and sole width first, loft second. Tested from a tee, a clean lie, and a deliberately tight one, because that is the actual job.

Bench 04 · 60 min

Hybrid Bench

Where the long-iron question gets settled with measurements instead of pride. Sole rock and head shape decide more here than most golfers expect.

Bench 05 · 75 min

Wedge Bench

Bounce, camber, and grind mapped against the turf you actually meet, tested on a firm edge and a soft strip so the window is measured at both ends.

Bench 06 · 60 min

Putter Bench

Length, lie, hosel style, and head mass set against where your eye lines the ball and the green speeds you meet most weeks.

Bench Work Without A Fitting

Repair, Rebuild, And Spec Checks

Not everything needs a full session. A good part of the week is ordinary shop work for golfers who already know what they want changed, and it is priced by the job rather than by the hour.

  • Regrip, single club, grip suppliedsame day
  • Reshaft with tip trim to spec1–3 days
  • Loft and lie check across a set45 min
  • Swing weight rebalance, per club20 min
  • Ferrule replacement and refinish2 days
  • Full-bag spec audit with printed card60 min

A spec audit is the one most golfers underestimate. It measures the bag you already own and hands you the card. Roughly a third of the time it finds enough drift to make a fitting unnecessary for another year.
