We Started With a Tubing Cutter, Not a Fitting Cart
Tip Trim Lab exists because most fitting sessions stop at picking a head and a flex letter, then hand the actual cut off to whoever happens to be in the back that day. We built our whole studio around getting that one step right.
A Machine Bench First, a Showroom Second
Tip Trim Lab opened on the Fort Myers waterfront in 2016, started by a former marine rigger who'd spent more hours squaring cuts on aluminum tubing than hitting golf balls. That background shows up in how we treat a shaft: as a precision part with a correct length, not a commodity you buy off a wall.
Every trim is referenced against the manufacturer's published chart, measured on a frequency board before and after the cut, and written onto a numbered ticket the client keeps. Close to eight thousand shafts later, that discipline hasn't changed.
Three Rules the Bench Never Skips
Measure Before You Cut
No trim happens until we've logged a baseline frequency reading on the uncut shaft — you can't judge a cut against a number you never took.
No House Shaft
We stock every major shaft line specifically so no single brand's margin ever decides what gets recommended.
The Ticket Goes Home With You
Raw length, trim amount, and both frequency readings are printed and handed over — your build spec shouldn't live only in our filing cabinet.
Meet the Hands Behind the Cutter
Our fitters combine PGA-recognized training with real hours logged at the trim bench, not just the launch monitor.
