Sequence

A lean is a sequence, not a vibe

People ask what a “flow fitting” feels like. It feels like someone measuring a throat and then watching whether the face waits. There is no incense. There is a rail, a strip, and a pencil.

  1. We log the throat you already own

    Offset, bend angle, and how far the shaft centerline sits from the face. If you cannot tell us the model year, we still measure. Catalog memory is worse than a caliper.

  2. Start line on the poa strip

    Fourteen feet, no break. We care whether the ball leaves on the line you said, not whether it “looked pure.” A plumber column that starts left and a flow that starts on-line are already a decision, even before hang.

  3. Delay through the last eight inches

    This is the flow question. Does the face wait, then catch the toe, or does it jump open? High-country greens punish a jump. We mark it in the notebook as early, on-time, or late — ugly words that beat a story about “feel.”

  4. Hang as a result, not a request

    Once the throat is chosen, hang is what the rail says. If you arrived with a hang number from a magazine, we still write the rail number. Magazines do not putt at 7,000 feet.

  5. Length, lie, loft, then grip

    In that order. A grip change will not rescue a throat that jumps. A length change can move how a flow sits at address; we treat it as geometry, not fashion. Length notes and grip notes live on their own pages.

  6. Sheet in the envelope

    You leave with numbers, not a slogan. If we recut, Ellis logs the bend. If we leave your plumber alone, that is also a result — some arcs do not want a flow, even in Flagstaff.

What we skip

No launch-monitor theater

A putter face at 3 mph does not need a screen the size of a windshield. We will use a simple start-line gate when a golfer cannot see their own miss. We will not sell you a heat map of a 14-foot strip.

After you leave

Two weeks, then a postcard if needed

If Continental still leaks, write the desk. A free ten-minute rail check is ordinary if the recut was ours. If you changed the grip in a garage, that is a new sit. Ask for a lean.
