How much do you adjust your adjustable driver?

I have two Titleist 913 D2 drivers, one 10.5 and the other 9.5.

Both are set at standard loft and +0.75 degrees lie because that's where I hit them best. Will not make any more changes.

During a [URL=http://www.usga.org/Rule-Books/Rules-of-Golf/Definitions/#Stipulated-Round][U][COLOR=0066CC]stipulated round[/COLOR][/U][/URL], the playing characteristics of a club must not be purposely changed by adjustment or by any other means.

Bingo!

Judging from all the posts, it seems like adjustable clubs are kind of fun, and maybe a little helpful for some, but it certainly isn't the game-changing, must-have technology that clubmakers make it out to be.  Is adjustability really helpful for golfers, or is it primarily for clubmakers to churn new product for profit?

Adjustable drivers are more beneficial to the manufacturers and retail stores than golfers.  In the past a manufacturer would have to produce a mix of different lofted heads and different shafts which resulted in a large number of potential combinations to be manufactured and stocked by store owners.

Now they just have to produce one head since the loft is adjustable.  Factor in interchangeable shaft tips so they can mix and match shafts with adjustable heads to minimize dead stock in their inventory.

I do see some potential advantage for golfers being the ability to adjust the loft for different wind conditions or to compensate for changes within ones swing.

Works pretty good for selling drivers. Heck I've even bought two of them myself.

I would buy another adjustable driver if I liked it and I hit well, but I could say the same for a non-adjustable driver that I liked and hit well.

The only useful feature to me is the ability to easily add back swing weight after I cut down the length of the shaft.

    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
