Driver Fitting
A gust rolling in off the water can shift a driver's landing pattern more than any equipment change would. Move the test indoors and that variable disappears — what shows up on the wall is purely your motion.
Two Sensors Watching the Same Swing
Four synchronized cameras pick up the ball optically the moment it separates from the face, while the impact plate below the mat logs path and face angle at contact. Neither system has to be taken on faith — each one checks the other.
We don't stop at one good pass either. Ten-plus swings per candidate get logged, because a single great strike says a lot less than a full cluster does.
The Pieces That Get Adjusted
Launch-to-Spin Ratio
Plotting launch against spin points us to whichever pairing carries longest without ballooning or dropping out of the air early.
Face Angle on Contact
The impact plate isolates face angle from swing path — the piece that's actually steering most starting directions.
Head Design & MOI
Higher-MOI shapes stay stable on a mis-hit; lower-MOI shapes give better players room to work a shot on purpose.
Shaft Mass
Drop the weight and speed often climbs, but stability on off-center strikes can suffer — we test both directions and see which wins for you.
Loft Adjustability
Once head and shaft are settled, an adjustable hosel lets us nudge loft in half-degree increments rather than guessing up front.
Grip Diameter
Hand action through impact tracks closely with grip size, and coastal humidity wears grip tack down faster than most players expect — we check it every visit.
Patterns a Driver Session Tends to Surface
Persistent Slice
Usually a face-versus-path mismatch that's tough to isolate outside when a breeze is already bending the flight — the plate strips those two variables apart cleanly.
Low, Overspun Flight
Wrong shaft or excess dynamic loft can push spin far enough that extra carry turns into extra height instead of extra distance.
Wide, Unexplained Dispersion
A ten-swing cluster on the wall often reveals a pattern that never registered on a range where every shot looked like a one-off.
Distance That Doesn't Hold Up
Outdoor carry shifts with heat and humidity along the coast; a room-calibrated number gives you a fixed point to measure everything else against.
Find Out What Your Driver Is Actually Doing
Plan for 60 to 75 minutes, testing your current driver alongside demo heads from several manufacturers. You'll leave with a written spec and, if you want one, a build order.
