Hey Y'all!

Is it possible to modify the loft of a driver. I have always wanted to know this I have an 11.5 degree R7 and I think I could use some distance...

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 :/

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
