Field notes
The lab’s stated workflow separates sole width from camber and bounce by pressing individual clubs into clay, then writing the contact pattern onto film and a board. Its examples use 18 mm and 28 mm sole widths and compare conditions including Finkbine thaw, Coralville drought, Iowa loess, and frost. The page lists a physical Iowa City suite and a weekly schedule, but does not expose rates or sample images in the extracted material.
