Overview

Thirteen chapters. One bag.

A TruePath Elite blueprint runs from Swing 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
14: Clubs considered as one system
90 days: Recommendation validity window

Claim note — recorded inputs come from you; all distances and performance figures shown here are TruePath Projected Performance, modeled by the fitting engine, not measured post-build results.

Your Swing DNA

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

Your Swing DNA

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

Classification: Moderate-tempo, mid-transition
Delivery pattern: Slightly in-to-out, face marginally open
Typical miss: Right-side start, low-spin fade
Driver speed band: Recorded by golfer — 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. Recorded inputs stay labelled as recorded; everything the engine derives from them is labelled as modeled.

Recorded inputs — 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: Illustrative Model D1 (9°)
Loft setting: 10.0° / neutral-draw
Shaft: Illustrative Mid-Launch 60
Flex: Stiff
Length: 45.25 in
Swing weight: D3
Grip: Standard, +1 wrap

Why TruePath chose it

The head is chosen for face-correction on toe-side strikes; the shaft profile supports a mid-transition without adding the tip-instability that shows up in the sample delivery pattern. Length is trimmed slightly 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: Illustrative Model F2
Loft: 16.5°
Shaft: Illustrative FW 70
Flex: Stiff
Length: 42.75 in
Swing weight: D3
Role in bag: Tee-shot alternative and long approach

Why TruePath chose it

A 16.5° head keeps the projected carry window clear of both the driver above it and the hybrid below it, so the club has a defined job rather than duplicating one.

Your hybrids and long-iron architecture

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

Recommended model: Illustrative Model H1
Loft: 21°
Shaft: Illustrative Hybrid 80
Flex: Stiff
Length: 39.75 in
Transition point: Hybrid replaces the 4-iron
Alternative build: Driving iron for firm-turf conditions

Why TruePath chose it

Elite models the crossover explicitly: at the sample delivery speeds, a hybrid holds a more reliable descent angle into greens than the equivalent long iron, so the set begins at the 5-iron.

Your iron system

Elite can specify a combo set where the data supports it, rather than forcing one model through the whole set.

Your iron system

Elite can specify a combo set where the data supports it, rather than forcing one model through the whole set.

Set composition: 5–7 Illustrative Model I2 · 8–PW Illustrative Model I1
Shaft: Illustrative Steel 105
Flex: Stiff
Lie: Standard +1°
Length: Standard
Launch character: Mid-launch long irons, controlled scoring irons
Grip: Standard, +1 wrap

Why TruePath chose it

Forgiveness matters most where speed falls off, control matters most where you score. Splitting the set at the 8-iron keeps long-iron launch usable while the scoring irons stay flat-flighted and predictable.

Your wedge system

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

Screen 06

Your wedge system

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

Gap wedge: 50° · 10° bounce · mid grind
Sand wedge: 54° · 12° bounce · full sole
Lob wedge: 58° · 8° bounce · heel-relief grind
Shaft: Illustrative Wedge 115
Length: 35.5 / 35.25 / 35.0 in
Scoring gaps: Even 4° steps below the pitching wedge
Turf assumption: Medium-firm, moderate attack angle

Why TruePath chose it

Even loft steps keep the projected scoring distances evenly spaced, and 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.

Your putter

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

Recommended model: Illustrative Blade P1
Length: 34.0 in
Toe hang: Moderate (slight-arc stroke)
Head weight: 355 g
Lie: 70°
Grip: Mid-size pistol
Verdict on current putter: Keep — specification already suitable

Why TruePath chose it

A slight-arc stroke pairs with moderate toe hang; the mid-size grip quietens hand action without removing feel. Where your current putter already matches, TruePath says keep it.

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: Illustrative Tour Urethane
Construction: Three-piece, cast urethane cover
Compression band: Mid-high
Driver spin character: Lower long-game spin
Wedge spin character: High short-game spin
Flight: Mid, wind-stable
Alternative: Softer-compression option for cooler conditions

Why TruePath chose it

The ball sets the spin ceiling every club in the bag has to work within. A lower long-game spin ball protects the driver build, while the urethane cover keeps the wedge system's projected stopping power intact.

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: Illustrative Cord Hybrid
Size: Standard core, +1 wrap
Build tape: One additional layer, lower hand
Putter grip: Mid-size pistol
Weight effect: +2 g per club, accounted for in swing weight
Texture: Corded upper, softer lower hand

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.

Screen 11

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. Four components are working against an aggressive transition and a marginally open face: the driver shaft, an overlapping long-game pairing, iron shaft behaviour, and a wedge set with an uncovered scoring window.

The prescription keeps seven clubs, adjusts three and replaces four — a new driver head and shaft, a 4-wood and 7-wood replacing the 3-wood, 3-hybrid and 4-iron, reshafted irons, a six-degree wedge architecture, an adjusted putter and a mid-spin tour ball.

Why this won

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, their TruePath Fit Scores, confidence, primary advantage and trade-off.

Driver

Winning configuration

Titleist GT3

9.0° | Ventus TR Blue 6X | 45.00"

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

Alternative #2

Ping G440 LST

9.0° | Tensei 1K Black 65TX | 45.25"

TruePath 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

9.0° | Ventus Black 6X | 45.00"

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

Why the winner fits this golfer better — 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°

TruePath Fit Score: 94 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Covers 215–245 yards with even, repeatable steps
Trade-off: Gives up the versatility of a driving iron off the tee

Alternative #2

Titleist GT2 3-Wood + 5-Wood

15° / 18°

TruePath Fit Score: 89 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: Higher ceiling on firm, running fairways
Trade-off: Leaves a 12-yard overlap at the top of the chain

Alternative #3

3-Wood + 3-Hybrid

15° / 19°

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

Why the winner fits this golfer better — The winning chain removes the overlap between the current 3-wood and 3-hybrid and produces the flattest gapping profile across the modeled long-game window.

Irons

Winning configuration

Ping i230 — reshafted

5–PW | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 | +0.25"

TruePath Fit Score: 95 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Keeps a head 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 6.5

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

Alternative #3

Mizuno Pro 243

5–PW | Modus 120X

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

Why the winner fits this golfer better — The analysis attributes the inconsistency to shaft behaviour rather than head design, so the highest-scoring option changes the shaft and specifications and keeps the heads.

Wedges

Winning configuration

48° / 54° / 58°

S-grind / S-grind / M-grind

TruePath Fit Score: 94 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Even six-degree steps and predictable scoring gaps
Trade-off: Requires replacing two existing wedges

Alternative #2

50° / 54° / 58°

F-grind / S-grind / M-grind

TruePath Fit Score: 90 / 100 — high confidence
Primary advantage: Smoothest transition from the pitching wedge
Trade-off: Compresses the gap below the pitching wedge

Alternative #3

50° / 56°

F-grind / S-grind

TruePath Fit Score: 84 / 100 — validation recommended confidence
Primary advantage: Frees a slot for a second long-game club
Trade-off: Leaves an uncovered window inside 100 yards

Why the winner fits this golfer better — 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 current putter — adjust

Shorten to 34.0" | 2.5° lie adjustment

TruePath 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

34.0" | 355g head

TruePath Fit Score: 88 / 100 — moderate confidence
Primary advantage: More forgiving on off-centre strikes
Trade-off: Different visual at address; adaptation period

Alternative #3

Blade, plumber's neck

34.0" | 350g head

TruePath Fit Score: 85 / 100 — validation recommended confidence
Primary advantage: Best match for an arcing stroke
Trade-off: Least forgiving of the three

Why the winner fits this golfer better — 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

Tour urethane — mid-spin

Three-piece

TruePath Fit Score: 95 / 100 — high confidence

Bag architecture

Fourteen clubs, modeled as one system.

Driver into the long game

The 4-wood sits 35 yards under the modeled driver carry, giving a usable second option from the tee.

Long game into irons

The 7-wood lands 12 yards above the 5-iron, closing the window the 3-hybrid and 4-iron used to share.

Overlaps removed

Two overlapping clubs — 3-wood and 3-hybrid — are consolidated into one, freeing a slot for the wedge architecture.

Iron flow

Even 12–14 yard steps from 5-iron through pitching wedge with a consistent descent-angle profile.

Scoring architecture

Six-degree wedge steps produce three repeatable scoring distances under the pitching wedge.

Uncovered windows

None remain in the modeled bag. The previous uncovered window sat between 95 and 110 yards.

Confidence

How certain the analysis is, and why.

High confidence

Driver, irons, wedges, ball

Recorded inputs are complete and consistent, and the top options separate clearly on score.

Moderate confidence

Fairway woods

Turf-interaction preference is self-reported, which widens the range of acceptable options.

Validation recommended

Putter length, grip size

These depend on physical measurements best confirmed in person before the build.

What increases confidence

Launch-monitor numbers supplied at intake
Consistent, detailed answers about the current bag
Clear performance priorities
