Driver Fitting

A single degree of lie error on a driver can push a tape mark all the way to the toe or heel under full speed. That's a bigger swing in dispersion than most golfers get from picking a different head off the wall.

First Fifteen Minutes

Your Current Driver Goes on the Board

Before a demo head comes near you, we tape your current driver and run it across the lie board a handful of times. That gives us a baseline – where the sole is actually resting, where the ball is actually marking the face – instead of starting the fitting from a spec printed on a hangtag.

Once the baseline is set, the launch monitor takes over. Every swing gets logged: ball speed, launch, spin rate, spin axis, attack angle. We're watching how those numbers move as lie, length, and head change, not treating any single swing as the answer.

Six Things We Can Change Mid-Session

Lie

Hosel adjustment in small steps, rechecked on the board after each change rather than trusted from the setting alone.

Length

Shorter often wins when it keeps the tape mark centered more consistently than a longer club chasing raw speed.

Grip Diameter

Sized against your hand, then confirmed against the tape. A mismatch here masquerades as a lie problem more often than golfers expect.

Shaft Weight

Tested alongside lie and length together, since changing one shifts how the other two behave under speed.

Sole Width

Wider soles generally forgive a mistimed strike better, independent of whatever the lie angle is set to.

Loft

Half-degree steps through the hosel. A steeper attack angle usually wants more static loft than the stock number implies.

Common Walk-Ins

Three Misses We Fix Most Often

The Toe Ball

Tape shows contact drifting toward the toe on most swings. Nine times out of ten this traces to a lie that's flatter than your setup wants, and a degree or two upright pulls it back without touching your swing.

The Heel Ball

Same story in reverse. Either the lie is too upright, or a grip that's too large is crowding your hands closer to the ball than your posture allows for.

The Scattered Face

No single pattern, tape marks everywhere. Length and grip size get checked first here, before we touch lie at all.

The Repeating Fade

Path is usually the real driver of curvature, but a correctly boarded lie and length still shave real yardage off the miss while the swing itself gets worked on separately.
