What Degree Loft Is Your Driver?

[iacas]

9.5° but I think it's set at 10.25° or so.

[Strandly]

10.5

[Valleygolfer]

8.5 factory, set at 9.25 right now

[billchao]

10.5° but I hit it all over the face.

It sure seems like a lot more information is needed for this to be relevant, like what kind of head design (low launch, high launch, etc.) and what kind of shaft design (low launch, high launch, etc.).  That said, I'm playing at 8.5 now, with a mid-launch 913 D2 head and low launch Speeder 6.2 X shaft.

Most drivers now are designed to launch it higher with low spin characteristics. So you'll more than likely see guys lofting up.

A geezer I play with uses a 7.5 degree 913 but, as he explained, when fitted because of his swing by the time he is smacking the you know what out of the ball the loft is more like 10.5 degrees at ball impact. Regards Mailman

My latest beast is the geek "dot com this" head at 12*, it's a low launching low spin head and recommended to play a lift higher than you normally would. I got an Aldila vs proto, in regular at 44.75 fitted and I'm no longer interested in any other driver! The flight is superb, a mid/high boring trajectory with tons of roll! I bought this monster, practically new on eBay, from the USA, for $100! It was a steal at that price!

[joekelly]

Hardballs.  Some 'dot com this' heads are non conforming.  From description on Amazon, looks like yours is OK>

[Hardballs]

Yeah mines ok, it's the DCT 551 limited edition ones that are non conforming, the 12* is conforming but all the other lofts aren't due to a measurement at the hosel being illegal apparently!

[boogielicious]

12 degree Titleist 913D2.

[cipher]

Right now it is 11 degrees.

[saevel25]

Right now it is 11 degrees.

Shouldn't it be a 15 degree driver for all those low left hooks

It would if I could Matt, it would if I could. Actually, as of late my miss has been two counties to the right.

[MrDC]

10.5, and I really like it.

[Pretzel]

My G10 is at 10.5*. I like it that way since it makes it easy to achieve the higher launch that I need. I also have found I can still hit it quite low when the wind gets to be very excessive.

[NJpatbee]

Went from a 9* G5 to a 10.5* G15 this year and added 10-15 yards carry and roll - should have done it sooner.

[newtogolf]

10.5º today, it's crazy how the mentality has changed.  When I started to play seriously 2.5 years ago I was using a Callaway FT Tour 9º.
