Everything on this page happens in Bay 3 with the same three readings and the same four rungs, adjusted for what the club is actually asked to do. A driver never sees settled rough. A wedge sees it three times.
Two rungs · 90 minutes
Tee height, strike map, head shape and shaft profile. Rungs one and two only, because the second rung here means a hard, fast tee box rather than turf. The plot still matters: a dry summer tee changes tee depth and that changes your low point.
Full detailFour rungs · 150 minutes
The complete ladder across a long, mid and short iron, with progression checked through the set rather than assumed from a catalogue. This is the longest session and the one that changes the most scorecards.
Full detailThree rungs · 100 minutes
Off the deck first, off the tee second, and always through the bare ground rung because a fairway wood on August turf is where sole camber either works or embarrasses you.
Full detailThree rungs · 100 minutes
Rungs two, three and four. The mown turf rung is a formality for a club whose whole reason for existing is the lies where a long iron stops working.
Full detailFour rungs · 110 minutes
Grind and effective bounce against real ground, plus a bunker block if the schedule allows. Run in both seasonal states if you book one in each half of the year.
Full detailIndoors · 75 minutes
The one session with no plot involvement. Stroke arc, rise and fall, face rotation rate, length, lie, head mass and balance measured on the indoor surface at two green speeds.
Full detailNot every problem is a fitting problem. These are booked in shorter slots and often solve the thing you actually came in about.
30 to 45 minutes
Measured on the machine, bent to spec, remeasured, and recorded on a card. Forged heads bend readily; cast heads get assessed first and we will refuse rather than crack a hosel.
Per club
Pull, clean, ream if needed, tip to the trim we agree, glue, cure, swingweight and grip. If you have a ladder card on file we work to the numbers on it rather than to a chart.
Same day
Tape count set from hand measurement rather than from the box label, so a build-up you liked five years ago can actually be reproduced.
60 minutes, seasonal
A short revisit of rungs one and four with your existing set, usually booked in October or March when the ground flips. Cheap, quick, and it catches drift before it costs you shots.
| What you notice | Where to start |
|---|---|
| Fine off a tee, thin from the fairway | Iron session, or a fairway wood session if it is the three-wood |
| Good on the range, poor on the course | Iron session. This is the exact complaint the ladder was built for |
| Long irons no longer getting airborne | Hybrid session |
| Digging in winter, bouncing in summer | Wedge session, booked in the season that bothers you more |
| Distance falling off with no swing change | Bag audit first. Often lie drift or a dead grip, not a new set |
| Pushing short putts | Putter session |
If none of those describe it, call and describe it in your own words. Bao will route you to the right slot, and if the honest answer is that nothing here will help, he will say that too.
