Quick Question on adjustable drivers

[leftcoastsrt04]

I am confused about the concept of the adjustable drivers. Not the ones with movable weights but the ones that you adjust the shaft. This may sound like a dumb question but, can't you just adjust the way you hold the club and achieve the exact same effect?

Not without changing the loft of the club you can't.
Plus, "change the way you hold the club for 75 yards of side to side adjustability" doesn't sound like an encouraging marketing line.

Sort of, I doubt anyone could do it with much consistency. I think the idea behind the adjustable clubs is to take the same swing and get different ball flights and also to lock in fitting specs.

I think it's a bit too much for me, I have enough trouble trying to put the same swings on the ball.

And if you hold the club differently it will mess your swing up.. and like golfaway said really screw the loft up..

The adjustable clubs do more than rotate the shaft. There is a cam at the hosel so that lie and loft also change.

I think of the nike str8 driver commercial that advertizes 8 different ball flights. I could take a regular driver, hit it 8 times and have 8 different ball flights and not have to chop, cut, and rebuild it each time. My luck it would last about a month before i would break it.
