Great stuff as always. Learn so much from you guys. Explains why 10.5 degrees is the most common loft in golf shops as it seems to work best for around average speeds. However would really like to see a 10.5 against 12.0 at a slower swing speed. Would the 12 outperform the 10.5 as we slower swingers have been told?

Another great video with oodles of excellent information. One thing to consider is the desired shape of the shots. Lofting up usually adds a little more "draw", while removing loft adds "fade". It helps to know this when considering the "standard" loft of the driver as your starting point. For instance, if the loft you want is 9º, a standard head at 8º, lofted up to 9º, might encourage a draw. The opposite is true for a standard head of 10º, when lofted down to 9º, might promote a slight fade. To the individual, there may be a preference.

After watching this I changed the loft to 10.5 and could not hit a bad shot on the range. I felt like I could just hit the ball as hard as I wanted and it would just go and go.

Thanks for your feedback/info on Driver loft. Much appreciated. So if lower than optimum Driver loft gives rise to slice/hooks/dispersion, what are your thoughts on current irons with very strong lofts compared with those of few years ago? Does it follow that a 29* 7 Iron is potentially more likely to give rise to bad shots compared with a 34* 7 Iron...and so on for stronger 6,5,4 Irons? The good shots will produce greater distance, I accept, but what about less than pure shots?

I got myself on a simulator and found out i was getting 4500-5000 spin on my driver, with an ascending angle of attack.

Where I play is very windy, so it would actually help me but i need to get out on the course and test it. Because if i can't get the ball in the air enough then I'm not sure what i'll do.

Lastly, as before, can you recommend Club Fitter near East Midlands, UK
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
At that swing speed it is likely you'd benefit from a higher loft of 11º+, assuming you aren't creating excess launch/spin in your swing in other ways. More backspin should stabilize the ball flight for you as well - as you saw in this video the low lofted driver produced the most curvature and widest dispersion.
@heinrichbolleurs73116 жыл бұрын
The right term on spin and how it affects ball speed is more energy is converted into spin and therefore the drop in ball speed. Almost like brakes on a car works where it takes movement energy and turning it into heat. Energy simply changes form. Its not less energy transfer but rather changing into another form of energy aka spin
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Heinrich! Just to clarify for everyone, what you're referring to is when we mentioned the 12º driver having a less efficient energy transfer (or less ball compression) than the 10.5º driver which produced a bit more ball speed with about the same club head speed.

Do you guys think the way companies advertise the adjustable hosel stuff is a bit deceiving?. I don't think most people understand that "changing the loft" is NOT really changing loft but simply opening or closing the face so you "square" the club when grounded at address. If A head is stamped 9.5 but really measures 9.8* that never changes....so if you lower the loft 1 degree all you really do is open the FA or if you increase loft you shut the face.......I always get drivers with exact specs bc if someone makes a major "loft adjustment" all you really do is make face 3 or 4 degrees closed or open which kind of sucks.....Hence the need to "cherry pick heads" and keep these things in neutral.....Getting wrench happy is not ideal bc you shut and open the face....not really change actual measured static loft

@heatingworld9116 жыл бұрын
Ya, if a player needed 10 degrees I would guarantee if they cherry picked a head that was measured 10 and neutral or maybe a little open FA that would have better numbers than a head that was artificially "wrenched" to a certain loft. I know from experience I had best results with adapter neutral or a slight adjustment....If you get wrench happy it gets goofey spin and not as consistent
@Mjwest236 жыл бұрын
Heating World if you have this knowledge though, wouldn't this help if you can find your optimal for the weekend golfer for a longer period of time? And adjust accordingly as your swing changes or speed changes. Or if you don't adjust the face angle at address, the closed or open face could help shape your shot to where you need it. I just think it's a matter of explaining the adjustable hosel to the consumer. You're right, I don't like it explained as adding loft. Most golfers won't square the face angle. But with the knowledge of how it works I think it's extremely beneficial and helpful to adjust along with your shot.
@heatingworld9116 жыл бұрын
Ya, having the info is no doubt the key......bc it gives people flexibility....if they hook or slice they can realize close or open the face to help. I just know that most people are clueless and if they have a 10.5 head and think it goes too high they just jack it down thinking oh great now my head is 9* but they also just opened the face like 2 or 3 degrees. It is much like when the hosels have a standard or draw mode....all that does to draw is make the club more upright lie when you go to draw mode. Overly upright likely causes toe misses.....The hosel thing is fine if you realize EVERYTHING you are doing.....it is just that when you attempt to change 1 variable you are always changing 2 or 3 things rather than 1. Every click of wrench you are changing face angle and lie angle....multiple variables. That is why Tour Issued Heads are measured for exact loft, lie, and FA.....they cherry pick the specs they want.....

I have my driver set to 8.5 degrees, I have a pretty consistent swing but no matter what I do I can't get the ball flight lower of the spin down, I've had the ball actually hit and come back in the fairway and even when I put the ball more towards the middle of my stance I still only get about a yard of rollout.

My OpenMind 4 degrees up means you have a lot of potential for distance but your main concern when swinging up that amount is what your dynamic loft is. If you’re leaning back on that thing or have it way to far forward in your stance and your dynamic loft is high 20s you’re losing distance. Your problem would be a ball that’s to high with to much spin and your miss would be a top shot. Good dynamic loft for your attack angle would be 15-16.

TXG Tour Experience Golf I would like you make me a driver. When I give you my numbers you can pick model, loft shaft, ( I prefer 44 inches, which I will still choke down) kick point or bend profile. Your video with Lindsay Knowlton caught my attention because my numbers are close to her starting point on that video. I am 78, but play younger. About 13 handicap due to terrible short game. My swing speed with driver is between 88and 94. I could do 94 if I were sure I would not snap hook left. Pretty straight ball flight, maybe soft draw. Accuracy important. Maybe ping g400 max. Don’t know if I want to put 500.00 in a shaft since I may not own it as long as Lindsay will enjoy hers. Angle of attack as high as up 5 or 6 but I can adjust. Right now I am playing 9.5 callaway razr fit. I could hit it fine with the stiff shaft that was in it but needing more height, I put an adila nvs 55 A flex in it. Works ok but maybe want the advantages of latest tech. On track an last year, I had them put a 43.5, 70 gram 3 wood shaft in a club and got the following: 5 to 6 pos. A of a, 18+ dynamic, 16.4 launch, 2200 to 2400 spin, 88 to 90+ sos and carried it 215 to 220. Dispersion is ok with any club I’ve owned, after getting used to it. Anytime I push right it is usually more alignment issue than trouble closing club face. Fast swing produces duck hook. Downcock firm and fast for my age. Want this to be my last investment, at least for a while, so please get me in a setup that is best for me. Make fairway metal 18 degree. I normally carry it about 190ish. I have been hitting tm rocketblz 5 wood at 19 degrees Ozick 55 r shaft. Contact me by phone for credit card info and any additional questions.

Currently playing ping g30 irons with graphite shafts with senior flex. Have golfpride lite 25 gram grips to get more swing wt. they are standard size. Like the wt. don’t like the texture so much.

@jamesboyce91864 жыл бұрын
I hit my 9.5 with 15-15.7 launch carry 245-250, but it is super high, I cranked my driver down to 7.5 thinking that would fix my launch, but all it did was change my carry to 220-230... oof...
@steve-o57935 жыл бұрын
So 9-9.5 would probably be the best of both spin and launch angle.

Quick question, i have 12 degrees of loft on my driver, ive had it a few years now and since improving as a golfer i now notice that it spins up in the air a lot... last time i checked it was around 3000+ rpm.... I don't seem to get much roll either... would it be worth me purchasing a 9.5 degree head? Thanks, Love the video's, this has become my favourite channel.
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
Make sure you test lower lofts on a launch monitor Peter, but if you're spinning it over 3000rpm with your 12º then going down in loft would very likely help.

TXG Tour Experience Golf thank you for the reply I tested it at the range tonight and it was at 1900 lowest and 2200 at the highest so lower than I thought with the ball launching at 16 degrees the numbers looked optimal. Keep up the good works guys!

I've adjusted my 10.5 degree driver by increasing loft 1 degree and putting the lie angle at a "Draw" or closed setting. Would this be an appropriate combo of loft and lie?

Hi TXG..a quick question..i'm currently using M4 driver with 9.5 driver loft...i'm having a thought to adjust the loft a slight higher..but if i'm not mistaken..if u adjust the loft higher..the clubface will slightly close..the doubt that i'm having is that i love to hit a fade for driver..however, after i adjust the loft a slight higher and try to hit it..i dun get the fade no more..does it really effect the direction of the ball if i adjust the loft?
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
Adjusting the loft up does close the face a degree generally so that may affect your ball flight pattern. Test it out though, you'd have to see what occurs in real life for your swing.
@WiseguyDesign086 жыл бұрын
well, i've tested it out on the course..still trying to understand the twist face technology...Overall , i think my ball dispersion has been great after using m4 :) ..thanks

Great video - however while 145 MIGHT be the average for an AVID male golfer (I’d say 140), but not avg for all male golfers. More like 125-130.

I'm curious as to a fine tuning by half degrees would do.
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
That driver head somewhere around 9.5º or 10º would probably have been pretty close to optimal!

Do you guys have any suggestions for someone that has a decending drive angle at contact? I'm currently .5 handicap in a 8.5 Titleist 915 D2 8.5 loft A1 setting. With a Aldila RIP 86 gram shaft! I've done this to reduce back spin. I feel I've lost some distant, do to weight of shaft!
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
Unlikely that any shaft will make a significant reduction in your spin numbers Cory, you may find something that helps it a bit but nothing will be as significant an influence as your attack angle. That being said, I think you could look into a lower spin head. If you can, find a location with a launch monitor to demo a 9.5º or even 10.5º Taylormade M3 with both weights moved forward. That is a super low spin head, and the added loft should help you achieve a bit more launch as well for more distance.

Interesting to see that Matt has apparently gained 60+ yards of driving distance since the time this video was published, would you consider doing a video on how he was able to do that?
@Holtii145 жыл бұрын
Pretty sure he was aiming to achieve 150 ball speed for the purpose of this test and therefore wasn't a flat out swing.
@christiancasper442 жыл бұрын
Matty is a great baller, but it would be helpful if you had a more average golfer demoing clubs. Not all of us swing 118 mph:):)
@kellysmith23036 жыл бұрын
You cannot make the conclusions from what you’ve shown. If you correct carry distances and spin rates to 150 mph, you’d see that there is practically no difference in carry. What will change is launch angle, and, like water flowing out of a hose, if you increase the angle, you’d get a little more carry for same flow speed. Spin loft IS the parameter to examine, but it would have to be quite high to get a decrease in distance, for this ~100 mph club head speed. But strike is king!
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
From our test: 8.5º was too low spin, 9.5º was close, 12º had too high spin. Sure you could knock off the 2MPH of extra ball speed that you're referring to on the 9.5º and maybe then the carry distances would be similar for all three heads - but what about total distance, stability, dispersion, performance in the wind, etc. The point of the video was to make golfers aware of the differences in performance that occur when only changing driver head loft, and that was accomplished.

So many questions !😄 When I was fitted for my M4,(at 10.25dg) I was also talked into using lead tape to help counter my left to right(slice 😄)shot. Would or should the tape benefit me ? Thanks so much !
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
Maybe slightly Charles, but the internal weighting on something like the M4 D-type would have a stronger influence.
@charlesrohl76356 жыл бұрын
TXG Tour Experience Golf was originally fit for D-type, but he told me if I wanted to get better and fix my path and angle the D-type would eventually hinder the shot shape of the ball if that makes sense or if I'm explaining it right ? Going to get refitted soon. Thank you for your response !
@clubchampionmedia6 жыл бұрын
Does make sense Charles! If you work on your swing, you may find the D-type starts drawing too much for your liking.
