Fitting by Club
Six Categories, One Calibrated Beam
Every category below still runs across the same calibrated beam scale that anchors every session here — what's changed is you can read all six on one page before booking whichever one you need.

The One Club Where a Half-Point Miss Costs the Most
What We Check
Stock drivers off the rack commonly land somewhere between D0 and D3 depending on bundled shaft weight — a range that stops working once swing speed changes or the club was never fit to begin with. We isolate head weight, shaft weight, length, and grip separately rather than accepting whatever combination the demo tent had on hand.
Signs It's Off
- Distance quietly dropped over a few seasons
- Head feels like it drags through transition
- Strike has crept toward the heel or high face
One Set Should Feel Like One Set
Where the Spread Comes From
Pull seven irons out of most bags and weigh them individually and you'll usually find a spread of five or six swingweight points from long to short. Standard shaft stepping and length progression build to a general target, not your specific set — a mixed set of clubs from different years usually makes the spread worse, not better.
Signs the Set Is Mismatched
- Strike quality inconsistent club to club
- Distance gaps feel uneven across the set
- Short irons feel heavier or lighter than long ones
The Club Most Bags Get Wrong Twice
The Continuity Problem
A fairway wood is normally built a point or so lighter in swingweight than the driver ahead of it. When an off-the-shelf shaft swap grows that gap past two or three points, the club starts to feel like a different tool mid-bag instead of a natural step down — sole-turf interaction gets checked alongside it.
Signs the Fit Is Off
- Clean off the tee, chunked off the fairway
- Shots balloon in the wind
- Feels like a different club than the driver
A Bridge, Not a Spare Part
The Gapping Question
Loft alone doesn't answer whether a hybrid replaces a specific iron well — two hybrids at the same stated loft can launch and spin very differently by head design. We test that directly against your longest iron and check swingweight continuity against the clubs on either side.
Signs You Need This
- Long irons left in the bag more than hit
- Hybrid launches low and runs out on landing
- A visible gap above your longest iron
Bounce Is Not a Preference, It's a Measurement
Baton Rouge Turf, Specifically
Bermuda fairways and the clay-heavy soil around town play firmer than a lot of fitting charts assume. A bounce and grind combination suited to softer northern turf can dig or bounce unpredictably here — we measure actual angle of attack on real grass and check the wedge doesn't throw off the swingweight balance already built into your irons.
Signs They're Off
- Chunking on firmer turf, fine in soft rough
- Leading edge digs instead of sliding
- Feels heavier in hand than your irons
The Club You Use Most, Fit the Least
Why Putters Read Differently
A full-swing club is described by swingweight because the motion involves real speed and release. A putting stroke doesn't generate that momentum, so we describe a putter mainly by total head weight and toe hang — still measured on the same beam, just interpreted for a different kind of motion.
Signs the Fit Is Off
- Inconsistent start line despite solid contact
- Face fights to stay square through the stroke
- Lag putt distance control varies shot to shot
