Overview

Every chapter. One bag.

A TruePath Elite blueprint runs from TruePath DNA through every club, the ball, the grips, a full distance and gapping map, the engineering rationale, and an estimated build cost. Nothing is a checklist item — each section carries the specification and the reason behind it.

1,000,000+: Configurations analyzed
13: Playing clubs, putter included
1: Build Spec you can take anywhere

Illustrative example — not a customer result. Golfer estimates come from intake; every distance and performance figure is a TruePath projection, not a measured post-build result.

Your TruePath DNA

Every recommendation in the blueprint traces back to one profile of how you actually play.

Your TruePath DNA

Every recommendation in the blueprint traces back to one profile of how you actually play.

Classification: Moderate tempo, quick transition
Delivery pattern: Slightly in-to-out, face marginally open
Typical miss: Right-side start, low-spin fade
Driver speed band: Golfer estimate — 98–102 mph
Strike tendency: Toe-side and slightly low
Physical factors: Average height, standard wrist-to-floor
Optimization priorities: Face control, launch, tighter dispersion

Why TruePath chose it

Intake responses, current specifications and any numbers you supply are consolidated into a single profile. Golfer estimates stay labelled as estimates; everything the engine derives from them is labelled as projected.

Golfer estimates — supplied by the golfer, not measured by NORBU.

Your driver

One head, one shaft, one set of specifications — with the reasoning attached.

Screen 02

Your driver

One head, one shaft, one set of specifications — with the reasoning attached.

Recommended model: Titleist GT3
Loft: 10° (9.0° head, set +1.0°)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6
Flex: Stiff
Length: 45.00 in
Swing weight: D3
Grip: Golf Pride MCC Plus4 · Standard +1 wrap

Why TruePath chose it

The head is chosen for face-correction on toe-side strikes; the shaft profile supports a quick transition without the tip-instability that shows up in the sample delivery pattern. Length is held at 45.00 in to protect centre-face contact rather than chase speed.

Your fairway woods

Woods are configured to fit under the driver and above the long-game transition, not in isolation.

Your fairway woods

Woods are configured to fit under the driver and above the long-game transition, not in isolation.

Recommended model: TaylorMade Qi35 4-Wood
Loft: 16.5°
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7
Flex: Stiff
Length: 42.75 in
Swing weight: D3
Role in bag: Tee-shot alternative and long approach

Why TruePath chose it

The 4-wood carries 20 yards under the projected driver carry, giving a usable second option from the tee. The 16.5° loft keeps the 4-wood clear of both the driver above it and the 7-wood below it, so it has a defined job rather than duplicating one.

Where the long game transitions is a design decision, not a default.

Screen 04

Your 7-wood and long-iron architecture

Where the long game transitions is a design decision, not a default.

Recommended model: Ping G440 Max 7-Wood
Loft: 21°
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7
Flex: Stiff
Length: 41.75 in
Transition point: 7-wood replaces the 3-hybrid; 4-iron removed
Alternative build: Driving iron for firm-turf conditions

Why TruePath chose it

The 7-wood carries 17 yards above the 5-iron, closing the window the 3-hybrid and 4-iron used to share. At the sample delivery speeds the 7-wood projects a higher, steeper descent than the long iron it replaces, so the iron set begins at the 5-iron.

Set composition: Ping i230 · 5–PW (current heads, kept)
Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400
Flex: Stiff
Lie: Standard +1° upright
Length: Standard +0.25 in
Lofts: 24° / 27.5° / 31° / 35° / 40° / 45°
Grip: Golf Pride MCC Plus4 · Standard +1 wrap

Why TruePath chose it

The analysis attributes the inconsistency to shaft behaviour rather than head design, so the current heads stay and the set is reshafted, lengthened and set upright. Projected steps of 13–15 yards from the 5-iron through the pitching wedge.

Your wedge system

Lofts, grinds and bounce are chosen around your turf conditions and the gap below the pitching wedge.

Your wedge system

Lofts, grinds and bounce are chosen around your turf conditions and the gap below the pitching wedge.

50° wedge: Titleist Vokey SM9 · 08° bounce · F grind · current, kept
54° wedge: Titleist Vokey SM10 · 10° bounce · S grind
58° wedge: Titleist Vokey SM10 · 08° bounce · M grind
Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold S400
Length: 35.50 / 35.25 / 35.00 in
Loft steps: 50° / 54° / 58° — even 4° steps
Turf assumption: Medium-firm, moderate attack angle

Why TruePath chose it

3 wedges at 50° / 54° / 58° step down from the pitching wedge in 14, 14 and 14-yard projected intervals. The bounce profile is matched to a moderate attack angle so the leading edge behaves consistently from both turf and sand.

Your putter

Head style, length and toe hang are matched to your stroke arc, not to what is on the rack.

Screen 07

Your putter

Head style, length and toe hang are matched to your stroke arc, not to what is on the rack.

Current model: Odyssey Ai-ONE Milled Two T
Length: 34.0 in (shortened from 35.0 in)
Toe hang: Moderate (slight-arc stroke)
Lie: 70°
Grip: Current mid-size pistol grip
Verdict on current putter: Reconfigure — keep the head, adjust length and lie

Why TruePath chose it

A slight-arc stroke pairs with moderate toe hang, which the current head already has. Nothing in the stroke profile justifies a new putter, so TruePath corrects the setup geometry instead.

Your ball

TruePath Elite is not simply fitting clubs. It optimizes the entire equipment ecosystem.

Screen 08

Your ball

TruePath Elite is not simply fitting clubs. It optimizes the entire equipment ecosystem.

Recommended ball: Titleist Pro V1
Construction: Three-piece, cast urethane cover
Driver spin character: Mid long-game spin
Wedge spin character: High short-game spin
Flight: Mid, wind-stable
Alternative: Lower-spin four-piece tour ball

Why TruePath chose it

The ball sets the spin ceiling every club in the bag has to work within. A mid-spin urethane ball keeps projected driver spin inside the window while preserving the wedge system's projected stopping power.

Your grips

Grip configuration changes how the club is delivered — it belongs in the fitting, not after it.

Your grips

Grip configuration changes how the club is delivered — it belongs in the fitting, not after it.

Model: Golf Pride MCC Plus4
Size: Standard, +1 wrap
Applies to: Every club except the putter
Putter grip: Current mid-size pistol grip
Weight effect: Accounted for in swing weight
Confirmation: Hand size is a golfer estimate — confirm before building

Why TruePath chose it

Grip size influences hand action and face rotation. Because grip weight changes swing weight, the build spec is calculated with the grip already included rather than adjusted afterwards.

The engineering.

Illustrative TruePath Elite build / Engineering

The reasoning underneath.

In plain terms: your tempo and transition set the shaft profile, your path and face tendencies set the head bias, and production tolerances keep the build repeatable. Advanced golfers can open the full engineering view.

TruePath Verdict

The diagnosis, and the prescription.

This bag does not need to be replaced — it needs to be optimized. The driver shaft, an overlapping 3-wood and 3-hybrid, iron shaft behaviour and an uncovered scoring window under the pitching wedge are working against a quick transition and a marginally open face.

Of the 13 clubs in the current bag, TruePath keeps 1, reconfigures 7, replaces 4 and removes 1, then adds 1 — a 13-club playing bag, putter included. The ball is also replaced and the grips are reconfigured.

Why TruePath chose this

Every category, with the runners-up shown.

Elite never shows a single answer without the alternatives behind it. For each category you see the winning configuration, the next two options, illustrative Fit Scores, confidence, primary advantage and trade-off.

Driver

Winning configuration

Titleist GT3

10° · Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6 Stiff · 45.00 in

Illustrative Fit Score: 96 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Holds face angle through a quick transition
Trade-off: Slightly less heel-side forgiveness than a max-stability head

Alternative #2

Ping G440 LST

9° · Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 65 Stiff · 45.25 in

Illustrative Fit Score: 93 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Lowest projected spin of the three
Trade-off: Launch window narrows on low-face strikes

Alternative #3

TaylorMade Qi35

9° · Fujikura Ventus Black 6 Stiff · 45.00 in

Illustrative Fit Score: 90 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: Most forgiving on toe-side contact
Trade-off: Projected spin sits above the target window

Why TruePath chose this configuration — This golfer loads the shaft quickly and delivers a marginally open face. The winning pairing is the only one of the three that keeps projected spin inside the target window without giving up stability on the toe-side strike pattern recorded in intake.

Fairway woods & long game

Winning configuration

TaylorMade Qi35 4-Wood + Ping G440 Max 7-Wood

16.5° / 21°

Illustrative Fit Score: 94 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Covers 211–232 projected carry yards with even steps
Trade-off: Gives up the versatility of a driving iron off the tee

Alternative #2

3-Wood + 5-Wood

15° / 18°

Illustrative Fit Score: 89 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: Higher ceiling on firm, running fairways
Trade-off: Leaves an overlap at the top of the chain

Alternative #3

3-Wood + 3-Hybrid (current)

15° / 19°

Illustrative Fit Score: 85 / 100 — validation recommended confidence
Primary advantage: Smallest change from the current bag
Trade-off: Projected launch falls short of the descent-angle target

Why TruePath chose this configuration — The winning chain removes the overlap between the current 3-wood and 3-hybrid and produces the flattest projected gapping profile across the long game.

Irons

Winning configuration

Ping i230 — current heads, reshafted

5–PW · True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 Stiff · Standard +0.25 in · Standard +1° upright

Illustrative Fit Score: 95 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Keeps heads this golfer already strikes well while stabilizing delivery
Trade-off: No gain in raw forgiveness over the current heads

Alternative #2

Titleist T150

5–PW · Project X LS 6.0

Illustrative Fit Score: 91 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Tighter projected distance spread on mishits
Trade-off: Full replacement cost with a modest projected gain

Alternative #3

Mizuno Pro 243

5–PW · Nippon N.S. Pro Modus³ Tour 120 S

Illustrative Fit Score: 88 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: Softest feel of the three
Trade-off: Launch window sits lower than the target profile

Why TruePath chose this configuration — The analysis attributes the inconsistency to shaft behaviour rather than head design, so the highest-scoring option keeps the Ping i230 · 5–PW heads and changes the shafts and specifications.

Wedges

Winning configuration

50° / 54° / 58°

F grind / S grind / M grind

Illustrative Fit Score: 94 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Even 4° steps and predictable scoring gaps
Trade-off: Replaces the 56° and adds a 58°

Alternative #2

50° / 56° / 60°

F grind / S grind / M grind

Illustrative Fit Score: 90 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: Keeps the current 56°
Trade-off: Uneven projected steps below the 50°

Alternative #3

50° / 56° (current)

F grind / S grind

Illustrative Fit Score: 84 / 100 — validation recommended confidence
Primary advantage: No change to the current wedges
Trade-off: Leaves an uncovered window inside 100 yards

Why TruePath chose this configuration — The winning architecture is the only one of the three with no uncovered scoring window between the pitching wedge and the highest-lofted wedge.

Putter

Winning configuration

Keep Odyssey Ai-ONE Milled Two T — adjust

34.0 in (shortened from 35.0 in) · lie 70°

Illustrative Fit Score: 92 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Preserves a stroke and look this golfer already trusts
Trade-off: No change in head stability

Alternative #2

Mid-mallet, single bend

Primary advantage: More forgiving on off-centre strikes
Trade-off: Different visual at address; adaptation period

Alternative #3

Blade, plumber's neck

34.0 in

Illustrative Fit Score: 85 / 100 — validation recommended confidence
Primary advantage: Best match for a stronger arc
Trade-off: Least forgiving of the three

Why TruePath chose this configuration — Nothing in the recorded stroke profile justifies a replacement. The highest-scoring option corrects the setup geometry rather than the head.

Golf ball

Winning configuration

Titleist Pro V1

Three-piece urethane · mid spin

Illustrative Fit Score: 95 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Keeps driver spin inside the window while holding greens
Trade-off: Highest cost per dozen of the three

Alternative #2

Tour urethane — low spin

Four-piece

Illustrative Fit Score: 91 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Lowest projected long-game spin
Trade-off: Less stopping power on partial wedges

Alternative #3

Cast urethane — soft feel

Three-piece

Illustrative Fit Score: 86 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: Softest feel and lowest price of the three
Trade-off: Projected driver spin drifts above target

Why TruePath chose this configuration — The winning ball is the only option that satisfies both the driver spin ceiling and the greenside spin floor set by this golfer's scoring profile.

Bag architecture

13 clubs, modeled as one system.

Driver into the long game

The 4-wood carries 20 yards under the projected driver carry, giving a usable second option from the tee.

Long game into irons

The 7-wood carries 17 yards above the 5-iron, closing the window the 3-hybrid and 4-iron used to share.

Overlaps removed

The overlapping 3-wood and 3-hybrid become a 4-wood and 7-wood, and the 4-iron is removed — freeing a slot for a third wedge.

Iron flow

Projected steps of 13–15 yards from the 5-iron through the pitching wedge.

Scoring architecture

3 wedges at 50° / 54° / 58° step down from the pitching wedge in 14, 14 and 14-yard projected intervals.

Uncovered windows

None remain in the projected bag.

Confidence
