Pick the Bay. We Will Handle the Rest of the Bag Later.
Carry Lab is a three-bay build shop, not a showroom. Every session starts with the club you actually want fixed, and ends with a written spec sheet listing raw shaft length, tip trim, finished butt frequency and swing weight. Choose where you want to start.
Seven Numbers Leave With You
Most players walk out of a fitting with a model name and a flex letter. That is not enough information to reorder, repair or replace anything two years from now. These seven values get written down, handed over, and kept on file under your name.
A Fitting Is a Measurement Job, Not a Test Drive
Hitting six demo shafts in a row will tell you which one felt best in the last twenty minutes of a Tuesday. It will not tell you why. We would rather find the mechanical reason a club suits you, write it down, and then build to that reason — because the reason survives a swing change, a new head release, or a shaft going out of production.
That means the first thing we do is profile what is already in your hands. Frequency at the butt, weight, balance point, playing length, grip build-up. Nine times out of ten the diagnosis is sitting right there in your own bag, and the fix is a lot narrower than a full replacement set.
- No brand quotas, no house line, no dealer allocation to protect
- Every finished club is frequency checked before it leaves the bench
- Your spec sheet is yours — take it to any shop in the country
- If the answer is a re-grip and a lie bend, that is what we will tell you
What "Frequency Matched" Means Here
We do not stop at ordering the same model shaft in the same flex for every iron. Each finished club gets clamped and read, and the readings have to climb in a straight line across the set. If a 7 iron lands off the line, that shaft comes back out and gets re-cut or re-weighted until it sits where the plan says it should.
It is slower than pulling six clubs out of a box. It is also the reason a set built here still gaps the same way three seasons later.
Four Stages, Start to Spec Sheet
Profile What You Own
Before a single ball gets hit, the clubs you brought go on the bench. Frequency, weight, balance point, length, lie, loft, grip build-up. This is the baseline everything else is measured against.
15–20 minutesHit Your Own Club First
We record your current club on the monitor before showing you anything new. Half the value of a fitting is knowing exactly what you are trying to beat, in numbers you can point at.
10–15 minutesWork the Variables in Order
Length and lie first, then shaft profile, then head, then weighting. Changing one thing at a time is slower, but it is the only way to know which change actually did the work.
30–60 minutesWrite It Down and Build It
The spec sheet gets filled in at the bench with you standing there. Builds are assembled in house and frequency verified before you are called to collect them.

I brought in a set I had already been fitted for somewhere else. Half of them were within a couple of cycles of each other and two were thirteen apart. Nobody had ever measured them. That explained a lot about my 8 iron.
Dale F. · Greensboro · Iron Set Rebuild
What sold me was that they talked me out of a new driver head. Same head, different shaft, half an inch shorter, and I stopped losing it right. Cost me a fraction of what I walked in expecting to spend.

The spec sheet is the part I did not know I needed. I cracked a shaft in April, emailed them the sheet, and the replacement arrived built to the same numbers. No guessing.
