Step 4

Square the clubface on the base. Different gauges may have different mechanisms, but the gauge is likely to contain a straightedge that you’ll slide against the clubface to make certain it’s square.

Step 6

Double-check that the clubface is square. If it isn’t, loosen the vise, realign the club with the straightedge and retighten the vise.

Step 7

Slide the included protractor against the center of the clubface. If the protractor contains a locking device, turn it clockwise to lock the protractor against the clubface.

Feedback

I do my own club work. I have a Mitchell puller and an economy loft/lie machine from Golfworks. They suit my needs well but I need an accurate way to measure loft. I've tried using the loft/lie machine as a brace, as it comes with an attachment arm, but it's not stable enough and there's too much play in the bracket to get the accuracy I need.
