What Players Say

Every comment below is shown with what actually changed on the build sheet. A testimonial without the specification behind it is just a nice sentence.

I brought in a set I had played for nine years expecting to be sold a replacement. Instead they measured it, bent four heads, put a half inch on the wedges and sent me home. The bill was under a hundred dollars and the six iron finally goes where I aim it.

Terrance Boyle Murray, 9 handicap Four heads bent, wedges +1/2 in

What sold me was watching them refuse to guess. Every number went on paper before anything was changed, and when I asked why a shaft was being ruled out they showed me the tape from the previous three swings rather than telling me about the technology.

Corinne Vasquez Holladay, 14 handicap Full iron rebuild, 1 flat

Seventy-one and I had quietly accepted that the ground was further away than it used to be. Turns out my posture had changed and my clubs had not. A degree flatter and shorter grips and I am striking the middle again for the first time since my back went.

Wendell Praeger Bountiful, 22 handicap Set 1° flat, undersize grips

My son grew four inches in fourteen months. They mapped out which clubs to extend and in what order, gave us a written plan with revisit dates on it, and told us not to buy a new set for at least another season. That advice cost them a sale.

Marisol Enriquez West Valley City, parent Three extensions, plan to 2027

I had a stock ladies set for eleven years because that is what the shop handed me. Nobody had ever mentioned that it was built two degrees upright for someone taller than me. The difference is not subtle. My misses go straight now instead of left.

Janine Okafor Draper, 17 handicap Irons 2° flat, -3/8 in

The driver session did not end with a new driver. It ended with my own head, an inch off the shaft, a heavier grip to put the weight back and a note explaining exactly why. Centre strikes went from about one in four to more than half.

Brett Sandoval Sandy, 11 handicap Driver -1 in, rebalanced to D3

I play a firm municipal course from July onward and my wedges had been digging all summer. They ground the sole on two of them rather than selling me replacements, and explained effective bounce in a way that finally made sense to me.

Halvard Sten Kaysville, 8 handicap Two wedges reground, +2 effective

Arthritis in both hands and I was about to give the game up. The fix was mostly tape wraps and a softer compound, which cost almost nothing, plus lighter shafts in the long clubs. I got a season back for the price of a decent dinner.

Rosalind Chee Tooele, 26 handicap Grip build +4 wraps, lighter shafts

I came back six weeks after the build for the free recheck expecting a formality. The lie had drifted half a degree on three clubs as my swing settled. They corrected it, charged nothing, and that is why I have sent four people since.

Aaron Lindquist Park City, 6 handicap Six-week recheck, three heads corrected
How these are collected

We ask at the six-week recheck, not on the day

Asking a player how they feel about a fitting five minutes after it ends measures relief, not results. Everybody is pleased at that point. So we ask at the follow-up board session instead, once the clubs have been on a course a dozen times and the novelty has worn off.

Comments are edited for length only. Nothing here is written by us, nothing was offered in exchange for a discount, and the specification line under each one is copied straight off the build sheet in the file.

Not every session ends this way. A small number of players find the change too small to notice, and a few decide afterwards that they preferred what they had. When that happens we record it in the file too, because the pattern is more useful to us than the praise.

The one-in-six figure is the number we watch most closely. If it ever drops toward zero, something has gone wrong with our incentives.

Leaving your own

Bring it up at your recheck or send it to [email protected]. We will ask permission before anything appears here and we will attach your specification line so it can be judged properly.

Next step

Bring the clubs you already own. We start there.

Nothing gets ordered until the sole tape, the lie board and your own eyes agree. Bench time runs Tuesday through Saturday at the West Temple shop, and every session ends with a printed build sheet you keep whether or not you buy a single component from us.
