What Bench Time Costs

Two things about the pricing below. Session fees are credited in full against any club we build for you within ninety days. And shop work — bending, regripping, length changes — is priced the same whether the club came from us or from somewhere else entirely.

Fitting Sessions

Single Bench

One category, start to finish: audit of what you carry now, gauge work, candidate testing, and a written specification. Driver, irons, fairway woods, hybrids, wedges or putter.

About 75 minutes
$125Credited to builds

Full Bag Audit

Every club measured and logged, gapping checked against real carry numbers, and a written plan ordered by what matters most. Usually split across two visits.

About 2 hours total · Most booked
$260Credited to builds

Scoring Clubs

Wedges and putter together, since bounce selection and stroke work tend to inform one another. Includes groove condition assessment on every wedge in the bag.

About 90 minutes
$185Credited to builds

Junior Bench

Length, weight and grip size fitted for the coming twelve months, with a written re-check date. Under sixteen, accompanied.

About 45 minutes
$70Credited to builds

Spec Review Only

No hitting. We gauge the clubs you bring, produce the sheet, and walk you through what the readings mean. Good for a set you just bought used.

Shop Work, Priced by the Job

These are bench rates and they do not require a fitting session. Drop-off during any open hour; most work is back inside a week.

How the Credit Works

The session fee comes off the labour and component cost of any club we build for you within ninety days of the session date. It is not a discount code and it does not expire quietly — the date is printed on your gauge sheet. If you build a single wedge, the credit applies to that wedge. If you build a full set six weeks later, it applies then.

  • Credit applies once per session, against labour and components.
  • It does not stack across multiple sessions booked on the same day.
  • It carries no cash value if you decide not to build anything.

Component prices move. We quote them the day you order, in writing, and we do not begin a build until that quote is agreed. If a supplier price changes between quote and order, the quoted number stands.

Payment and Cancellations

  • Session fee is due at the appointment, not at booking. Card or cash.
  • Builds take a deposit covering components, with the balance at pick-up.
  • Cancellations are free with twenty-four hours notice. Inside that window we ask for half the session fee, waived once for weather or illness.
  • No-shows are charged the full session fee before we will book again.

Pick a Bench and Book It

If you are not sure which session fits, describe the problem on the booking form and we will put you on the right bench when we confirm.
