The Putt Lab at Clubhouse Hawaii: Tour-Level Putting Fitting and Performance
Putting is the most personal part of the game — yet most golfers are still using putters chosen by feel, brand preference, or guesswork.
At Clubhouse Hawaii, we built The Putt Lab to eliminate that guesswork.
The Putt Lab is a tour-level putting fitting and performance system that combines interchangeable putter components, advanced stroke and roll analysis using SAM PuttLab and SAM PuttStudio, visual setup cameras with 3D stroke animation, and a dedicated loft/lie putting machine to dial in the final build with precision.
This is not a practice green.
This is a precision environment built for measurable results.
What Makes The Putt Lab Different
A True Variable-Controlled Putter Fitting
In The Putt Lab, nothing is fixed or locked in. We built this bay so we can test putters the way high-performance fitters do — by isolating variables and proving results in real time.
We use a head-off adapter system that allows us to:
- Swap putter heads instantly
- Test multiple head styles and toe-hang profiles back-to-back
- Change shaft lengths in real time
- Test different shaft profiles
- Switch grip styles and sizes on the fly
Because we can change one variable at a time, golfers can feel and see the impact immediately — without rebuilding or regripping between tests.
This is how elite putter fitting is done: controlled comparisons, clean feedback, and measurable improvement.
Powered by SAM PuttLab and SAM PuttStudio
At the core of The Putt Lab is SAM PuttLab and SAM PuttStudio, two of the most trusted putting analysis systems used by coaches and fitters worldwide.
If you are searching specifically for a putter fitting in Honolulu that is based on real performance data, The Putt Lab is built for exactly that.
SAM PuttLab: Stroke Diagnostics
SAM PuttLab measures the cause of each putt by analyzing key mechanics such as:
- Face angle at impact
- Path and face rotation
- Tempo and timing
- Loft and lie at impact
- Stroke consistency and symmetry
This allows us to understand why a putt behaves the way it does — not just whether it goes in.
SAM PuttStudio: Visual Roll and Pace Feedback
SAM PuttStudio adds projected visual feedback directly onto the turf so golfers can instantly connect mechanics to performance. Depending on the drill, this can include:
- Start line projection
- Face angle grids
- Distance and pace ladders
- Roll-out validation
- Interactive training targets and zones
Golfers don’t just hear recommendations — they see the roll improve in real time.
Together, SAM PuttLab and PuttStudio create a closed-loop system where stroke mechanics and ball roll are measured, tested, and confirmed.
Visual Setup Cameras and 3D Stroke Animation
Putting performance starts before the stroke even begins. That is why The Putt Lab includes visual setup cameras plus 3D stroke animation, allowing golfers to see exactly what is happening at address and during the motion.
This lets us evaluate and refine details that many golfers never see on their own, including:
- Eye position and head alignment
- Posture, stance, and shoulder relationship
- Ball position at address
- Shaft lean and setup consistency
- Dynamic movement of the putter through impact
Using 3D animation, golfers can see their putting motion reconstructed in real time — making it easy to understand how setup, path, face angle, and tempo work together.
This visual feedback removes guesswork and feel-based assumptions. Instead of being told what changed, golfers can see the change and immediately connect it to improved roll and consistency.
Precision Loft and Lie Adjustment — On the Spot
Unlike many fitting environments that rely on factory specs or assumptions, The Putt Lab includes a dedicated loft/lie putting machine so we can dial in final specs with precision.
This allows us to:
- Measure actual loft and lie at address and impact
- Adjust the putter to match the golfer’s setup and stroke
- Ensure the face delivers the correct launch and roll
- Fine-tune performance after head, shaft, and grip selection
Loft and lie are critical to start line, skid, and roll quality. Adjusting these during the fitting ensures the final putter performs exactly as tested.
All final adjustments are completed on-site through our professional PGA certified staff.
Why This Matters More Than Traditional Putting Aids
Many putting aids force the ball to roll straight or guide the stroke along a rail. While they may look impressive, they often mask underlying issues and do not translate well to real greens.
The Putt Lab does the opposite.
Golfers must create quality roll themselves, while the system shows:
- Why putts miss left or right
- How tempo affects distance control
- Which head, shaft, length, loft, lie, and grip stabilize the face best
- How setup directly influences impact and roll
If the roll improves, the data must support it — otherwise the change doesn’t stay.
Built for Serious Improvement
The Putt Lab is designed for:
- Competitive amateurs
- Juniors developing long-term fundamentals
- Golfers struggling with consistency on the greens
- Players who want confidence that transfers to the course
This is not entertainment technology.
It is a performance-driven putting system.
Many golfers pair their fitting with ongoing putting lessons to reinforce setup, stroke, and speed control.
What Golfers Leave With
Every golfer who goes through The Putt Lab leaves with:
- A putter head matched to their stroke type
- The correct shaft length and profile
- A grip that improves face control and stability
- Precisely adjusted loft and lie
- Verified roll and pace consistency
- Confidence built on data, not guesswork
Most importantly, they leave knowing why their putter works.
