Saw some chatter on social the last few days regarding the variance in manufacturing tolerances, which was surprising to me (both because people were talking about the topic, and the range of variance itself).
To level set: every product that is produced by humans (h/t @JB for the reminder) has a range -- or tolerance -- where specs might differ from what is considered "standard" or documented for that product. For example, a driver that is stamped with 10.5 degrees of loft might be measured to have 10 degrees or 11 degrees. However, there can be wider ranges as well.
It's important to remember that what is stamped on a golf club might only tell half the story, especially when discussing something like loft. It's equally as important to know how those manufacturing tolerances impact metrics like carry distance. This all further amplifies the need to get custom fit, to know your equipment as well as you can, and to not take things for face value.
