What results can I get if I change my club loft angle?

Answer 1

You're kinda in the wrong area for golf club questions. But, changing the loft angle of your club can fine tune the distance you hit that particular club. Increasing the loft would cause the ball to fly in a higher arc and travel slightly less distance, and decreasing the loft would produce a lower, boring trajectory that would tend to travel a bit further. I would not make this adjustment unless you were extremely consistent in the distance you hit that club, and you were experiencing an uneven or erratic spread of distances between clubs. Ideally, let's say you hit 5-iron 180yds. You'd want your 6-iron at about 160-165, and your 7-iron at about 150, 8-iron about 135-140, and 9-iron about 125. Your really looking to have an even, equal distance spread between clubs, so you can have an easier time with club selection. Whatever distance you hit a club, you'd want the distances for the other clubs to be fairly equally spaced. Most golfers (unless they are very low handicap) would not see much benefit from this adjustment, unless there is a big problem with obtaining even distance spacing between clubs.
