Driver Fitting
Nothing in the bag swings results more than the driver, and it's still the club most golfers grab straight off a shelf. A proper fitting is typically the single biggest gain available, in both distance and accuracy.
Every Swing Logged, Nothing Estimated
Our launch monitor captures ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, spin axis, smash factor, and attack angle on every swing — with your current driver and every demo head we test. These aren't averages; they're your actual numbers, swing after swing.
From there we build a picture of your delivery: are you swinging up or down on the ball? Is your spin axis tilted, sending shots left or right? Is your spin rate ballooning shots in the wind, or too low and knuckling out of the air? Every recommendation traces back to a specific number from your session.
Six Levers We Pull to Find Your Setup
Loft & Face Angle
Modern adjustable hosels let us dial loft in half-degree increments. A golfer with a negative attack angle (hitting down on the ball) often needs more static loft than the number on the box to reach an optimal launch window.
Shaft Weight & Flex
Shaft weight influences swing speed and timing more than flex label alone. We test across weight classes and flex profiles to find the combination that produces the most repeatable strike and the tightest spin-axis dispersion.
Head Design & MOI
Moment of inertia (MOI) determines how forgiving a head is on off-center strikes. Higher MOI heads resist twisting on mishits; lower MOI, more compact heads often suit better players who want to shape shots on demand.
Length
A shorter, better-controlled driver frequently outperforms a longer one on center-strike percentage — which usually beats a few extra yards of theoretical max distance.
Center of Gravity (CG)
CG location (low-forward, low-back, neutral) shapes launch and spin characteristics independent of loft. Low-back CG heads generally produce higher launch with lower spin for players who need to add carry distance.
Grip Size
An oversized or undersized grip changes hand action through impact, which can quietly alter face angle at contact. We check grip size as part of every driver fitting.
Misses We Fix Most Often at the Bay
The Slice
A left-to-right spin axis tilt is usually a face-to-path issue, but the right shaft and loft combination can reduce curvature significantly while you work on swing mechanics. We'll also check whether a draw-bias head design is worth considering.
Low, Knuckling Shots
Insufficient spin and launch angle — often from too little static loft for your attack angle — causes shots to fly low and fall out of the air short of their potential distance. Adjusting loft and CG placement typically resolves this.
Ballooning in the Wind
Excess spin sends shots up and back, costing distance and making the ball vulnerable to wind. A lower-spin shaft or head combination, sometimes paired with reduced loft, flattens the flight.
Inconsistent Strike Location
If your dispersion pattern shows strikes scattered across the face, a higher-MOI head and a length/lie combination suited to your setup can shrink that pattern meaningfully.
Find the Driver Built for Your Swing
Sessions run 60–75 minutes, testing your current driver against several demo heads from major manufacturers. You leave with a written report and, if you want one, a build order.
