Driver Work
The driver shows more distance variance than any club in the bag, and it's often the one still bought straight off a wall. A cut plan built around your own tempo, not a demo rack, is usually the single biggest gain available in one bench slot.
Tempo First, Then the Blank, Then the Ball
We start with a short set of swings on your current driver to get a read on tempo and load timing — no equipment changes yet. From there, two or three candidate blanks are pulled off the rack and hand-matched by weight before a cut plan is written for any of them.
Once a blank is chosen and cut to plan, the built club goes outside for a real-flight check. Ball speed, launch, and dispersion confirm the numbers on the cut plan actually hold up once a real swing is behind them.

The Variables on a Driver Cut Plan
Blank Weight
Weight class shapes swing timing more than any flex label. We hand-match blanks to your tempo before considering anything else on the sheet.
Tip Trim
The last inch or two of tip determines most of how the club loads and releases. Small changes here move launch and spin more than a lot of golfers expect.
Loft & Face Angle
Adjustable hosels let us dial loft in half-degree steps once the blank decision is locked, so we're not compensating for a shaft that was wrong to start with.
Head Selection
Higher-MOI heads resist twisting on off-center strikes; lower-MOI heads suit players who shape shots on purpose. Chosen after the blank, not before.
Grip Size
An over- or undersized grip quietly changes hand action through impact. It's checked and logged on every driver work order, not treated as an afterthought.
Butt CPM
Read after the club is built and cured, and checked against the target written on the cut plan. If it's off, the club goes back on the bench before you see it.
What Driver Work Usually Fixes
The Slice
Often a face-to-path issue at heart, but the wrong blank weight or tip stiffness can quietly make it worse. Matching both to your tempo tightens curvature while you work on the swing itself.
Low, Knuckling Shots
Usually too little launch and spin for your attack angle. A different tip trim on the cut plan resolves this more often than a loft change does on its own.
Ballooning in the Wind
Excess spin sends shots up and back, costing distance. A stiffer tip section paired with the right loft flattens the flight.
Scattered Strike Pattern
If strikes are landing all over the face, it's worth checking blank weight and grip size before assuming it's purely a swing fault.
