Six Stages, Same Order Every Time
Nothing about the sequence changes based on what you came in for. A driver session and a full bag audit both start with the same intake step.
Intake & Card Check
If you have a ledger card on file, Colton pulls it before you sit down. If not, one is opened. Either way, the first ten minutes are spent confirming what you currently play, how many rounds you have logged since the last visit, and what specifically is bothering you about your ball flight or contact.
Static Measurement
Existing clubs go on the bench first, before you hit a single ball. Length, lie, loft, swingweight and grip diameter are read off the loft-lie machine and the frequency rig and compared against whatever the ledger card says they should read. This is where drift gets caught.
Dynamic Testing
You hit off the mats and, for driver and fairway wood sessions, through the launch monitor. We watch dispersion across a real set of swings rather than a single flattering one, and take numbers at least twice, spaced apart, because delivery drifts as a session warms up.
The Build Decision
Static and dynamic readings are compared side by side. Sometimes the answer is a bend and a regrip on the clubs already in your bag. Sometimes it is a new head or shaft off the wall. This conversation happens after the numbers exist, never before.
The Ledger Card
Every finished specification — length, lie, loft, swingweight, shaft, grip build-up — is written on the card, dated, and handed to you. A copy stays in the studio's file. Nothing about the visit is considered finished until this step happens.
Re-Check Interval Assigned
Based on how often you play, each club on the card gets a standing interval — counted in rounds, not months — for when it should be measured again. You are not billed for this step, and there is no automated reminder system chasing you; the interval simply sits on the card for the next visit.
These are averages built from the studio's own return-visit data, not a manufacturer's generic recommendation.
A Calendar Interval Is a Bad Proxy
Twelve months means something completely different to a retiree playing four mornings a week at Indian Canyon than it does to a golfer who tees off a dozen times a season around a full work schedule. Wear is a function of contact, not of the date on the wall.
So the interval on your ledger card counts rounds played, tallied every time you check in for a re-check appointment. When the number crosses the threshold for a given category, that is what flags it for a look, not a birthday-style reminder pulled from thin air.

The first visit is what opens the card. Everything described above happens the same way whether you are fitting one club or the whole bag.
