Notes From the Bench

I'd been fighting a hook for two seasons and it turned out to be an oversized rubber grip, not my swing. Went to a smaller cord build and the difference was immediate.

Never thought about grip texture changing by season until they walked me through my own humidity chart. Switched to a hybrid build for winter and my hands don't go numb by the back nine.

Full bag rebuild starting from grip diameter instead of shaft flex. Every club finally feels like it belongs to the same set.

My hands sweat through anything by the back nine in July. The cord-blend build they built me stopped the club twisting in my hands completely.

Arthritis in my hands meant I'd basically given up on a normal-size grip. A slightly oversized hybrid build got me back to a full round without the ache.

The wedge and putter fitting explained bounce, grind, and grip taper in a way that finally made sense together instead of as separate decisions.
