Hey Y'all!

You CAN'T change the loft of a driver anymore than you can any other club. But you can change your launch angle by opening/closing the face, ball position, ball types, and of course shafts.

If you are getting high launch angles that are causing you distance, abd you don't think it's your swing or don't want to change your swing then a new shaft is your best bet. But IMHO, if you are getting extreme launch angles then there's something in your swing/setup causing it.

in my EDGE bag:

10.5* XLS HiBore Driver, Fuji stiff VP70
15* XLS HiBore 3 Wood Gold stiff
22*, 25* XLS HiBore 3H, 4H, Gold stiff MP-57 5-PW, DG S300 MP-R 52 gap, MP-R 56 sandwedge SM Vokey 60 Lob Newport 2 Detour Pro-V1X, NXT Tour, Callaway Tour iXIgolf NEO GPS

Hey Y'all!

If you mean can you have it bent,possibly, but it wouldn't be something I'd recommend. Titleist can bend their woods, but they use special moulds and jigs that are probably only available in the tour van or factory. And that may only be for fairway metals.

Don't assume that a high loft means less distance.

That's what I was thinking :(

But well... I have moved the driver's weights today to get a lower trajectory and I think that the result is better but still I am loosing about 20 yards on average with this new driver... and wow I used to have a little consistency with my old driver that I don't have with this one. It was probably my worst round of golf today since 5 years... Someone please give me the key to consistency...

That's what I have read on a lot of other forums though :/
