Measure your speed first
Ball selection is anchored to clubhead speed. Everything else in the hour follows from that one number.
Fitting session
The cheapest change in your bag.
You will happily spend twenty thousand rand on a driver and then play whatever ball was in the pro shop bargain bin. The ball is the only piece of equipment used on every single shot, and it is the one nobody tests.

- You play whatever you find A bag of mixed found balls means your wedge spin changes shot to shot. Nothing else in your set is allowed to be that inconsistent.
- You buy on the box Cover, compression and dimple count are engineering decisions matched to a swing speed. The word on the front of the sleeve is marketing.
- Your wedges do not stop Greenside spin is a cover property first. The right ball is a much faster fix than a new set of wedges.
- You are spinning the driver too much A ball that is too soft for your speed balloons the drive. It is a common and very cheap thing to correct.
Step by step
How the session runs
One hour on TrackMan, testing the ball rather than the club.
Driver spin
Too much spin and the ball climbs and stalls. Too little and it falls out of the sky. This is where the biggest distance is found or lost.
Approach spin
How the ball behaves coming into a green from a full iron — the number that decides whether you can attack a flag.
Greenside spin
Short shots around the green, where cover material dominates and the difference between balls is at its most obvious.
Compare, then commit
Same swing, different balls, side by side on the same screen. You choose from your own numbers.
Matched to swing speed
Three balls, three speed bands.
Golf Concepts is an official South African stockist of Sugar Golf, and the range is a clean illustration of why ball fitting is a real thing: the same brand builds three completely different balls because one ball cannot serve a 65 mph swing and a 105 mph swing.
| Ball | Swing speed | Compression |
|---|---|---|
| Soft2-piece, Soft Surlyn cover | 50 – 75 mph | 70 |
| Pure3-piece, TPU urethane cover | 75 – 100 mph | 85 |
| Quad4-piece, TPU urethane cover | Above 95 mph | 95 – 100 |

What gets measured
The numbers behind the recommendation.
Every session runs on TrackMan 4 with Optically Enhanced Radar Tracking. These are the parameters the decision is built on, and they are yours whatever you decide to do next.
| Club speed | How fast the head is travelling. Everything else is scaled to it. |
|---|---|
| Ball speed | The energy that actually got into the ball. |
| Smash factor | Ball speed divided by club speed — a direct readout of strike quality. |
| Launch angle | The angle the ball leaves at, set by loft and delivery together. |
| Spin rate | What keeps the ball up, and what makes it climb and stall when there is too much. |
| Dynamic lie | The lie angle at impact, not at address — the one that decides start direction. |
| Impact height | Where on the face you struck it, in millimetres. |
| Impact offset | How far towards heel or toe the strike sat. |
| Carry and total | Where it lands, and where it finishes. |

Questions
Before you book.
Do I have to buy clubs at the end of it?
No. The session is paid for on its own and the numbers are yours to keep. If the honest answer is that the clubs in your bag are already right for you, that is the answer you will get.
What should I bring?
The clubs you play now, and a golf glove and shoes if you have them. Measuring your current set is how we prove whether anything actually improved.
I am a beginner. Is this wasted on me?
It is the opposite. A beginner learning on clubs that are the wrong length and lie spends years building a swing that compensates for the equipment.
Which brands can you fit me into?
10 of them — Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, GG Putters, Mizuno Irons, Ping, Srixon, TaylorMade, Titleist, XXIO. The studio is brand-agnostic, so the recommendation follows your numbers rather than a stockroom.
How do I book, and what about availability?
