bending a driver to increase loft?

[hrossroth]

I have a driver I like, but, ideally it would have one more degree of loft. I know bending can change the loft of irons or putters, wedges too, but can a driver be bent to increase loft?

It depends on what it's made out of. I know that hybrids and fairway woods can be bent sometimes. I'm not sure about a driver.

Re-lofting a driver is not recommended unless you're a Tour Van technician.

If you REALLY like the club, you have 2 options......

Get another one in the same model with the proper loft for your game. OR

Re-shaft the club with a shaft that has a lower kick point, is lighter, and has a "touch" more flex than your current shaft. And this option is "iffy" as to whether it will correct the problem.

You're throwing stuff at the wall hoping it will stick. You'd be FAR better off just buying the appropriate club.

Higgy.

If you want to get a higher ball flight reshaft it. I understand that the loft does put some loft ont he club, but mostly the loft is in control of the spin of the golf ball. The shaft is where you gain height. Go with a low kick point just like the person above me said.
