A Chapel Street golf fitting bench that measures wedge bounce in millimeters against the fog, rye, and tight poa of New Haven.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The page frames fitting as a local turf experiment rather than a catalog lookup. A caliper records heel, mid-sole, and trailing-edge measurements, which are then compared with narrow, working, and wide bounce strips. Its operating notes distinguish frozen rye from tight poa and warn that Sound moisture can change how a sole behaves. The site lists weekday-and-Saturday hours, a Chapel Street suite, and an email, but no visible prices or booking form.
