The One Club That Skips the Turf Sled Entirely
A driver never touches turf or sand, so a driver session at Swing & Sole is a straight launch-monitor fitting — no bounce testing, just carry, spin, and dispersion.
We Baseline Before We Change Anything
Every driver session opens with roughly ten swings on your current setup, logging ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and carry against a still-air correction. That baseline tells us how much room there actually is to gain distance versus how much of the miss is dispersion — two very different problems that call for different fixes.
From there we work through head shape, shaft profile, and loft on demo stock, re-checking each change against the baseline rather than chasing a single good swing on the monitor.
Numbers We Track
Smash factor, launch angle, backspin, and left/right dispersion across a minimum of eight swings per configuration before we call any comparison decided.
Three Things Usually Move the Needle First
Shaft Weight Before Flex
We test weight changes ahead of flex changes for most players — a shaft that's simply too heavy or light for your tempo usually explains more of a bad dispersion pattern than the labeled flex does.
Dynamic Loft, Not Static Loft
The number stamped on the head matters less than what your specific attack angle turns it into at impact, which is why we set loft last, after head and shaft are already narrowed down.
Face-to-Path Relationship
Adjustable hosel and weight settings are used to close a persistent side miss, checked against actual start-line data rather than assumed from ball flight alone.
Combine It With Wedges and Irons
A driver-only session runs about 45 minutes on its own, but pairs well with a full bag session so every club gets checked in one visit.
