A Studio Built Around Six Inches of Graphite
Not the flex letter stamped on the shaft — the tip section underneath it. Everything about how we fit clubs in Hartford follows from that one decision.
Three Rules That Run the Whole Studio
Test the Tip Zone Separately
Every shaft goes on the tip zone rig before it goes near a head, so the decision is never made by whichever demo happens to be bolted on that afternoon.
Every Major Line on the Rack
We aren't tied to one manufacturer's yearly production targets, which means a recommendation is never a sales quota dressed up as a fitting.
You Keep the Build Ticket Either Way
Every session ends with a written spec sheet that's yours, whether you order clubs from us that day or simply walk out with better numbers.
Built After Watching the Wrong Six Inches Get Ignored, Season After Season
Tip Spec Golf opened in Hartford in 2015, after years of watching golfers get sold a shaft on its flex letter alone, only to find the club felt nothing like the demo once winter ended and their swing came back up to speed in the spring. The flex label never changed. The player's delivery did, and so did the way the tip section actually responded to it.
We built a dedicated tip zone rig — still the centerpiece of the studio — specifically to isolate that terminal section from the rest of the shaft's profile. More than eleven years and seven thousand logged scans later, that rig is still the first stop in every fitting we run, and every build gets a second look outdoors once Connecticut's short season actually opens.
Meet the People on the Rig
Our fitters split time between manufacturer certification and hands-on hours running the tip zone rig themselves.
