The driver shown has 55 degrees lie angle, (12½) degrees of loft and the face angle here is purposely adjusted in the gauge to 0 degrees so the loft can be measured in the square face (hit) position. The vertical bar you see resting against the face is measuring the loft and is touching the face at ½ of the face height. For all the differing recommendations you might hear, there is one thing we can say for sure: Although most players buy drivers with 9 to 10 degrees of Author: Mike Southern. 23 rows · 58 - The bigger the loft angle, the higher the ball will go, and correspondingly, .
Most seniors could increase the amount of distance they achieve with a driver if they give up the 8, 9, 10 or even 11 degree driver and crank up the loft to maximize the amount of launch on the ball. There are three things the senior golfer needs to consider; 1. Loft. 2. Swing speed. 3. Angle of attack. Golfers who swing faster than mph would require a loft below degrees and those golfers with a slower swing below 90mph would be better choosing a loft between – 17 degrees for the optimal launch angle. Why Is Driver Loft Important? Driver loft is important because it can affect both the distance and the trajectory of your drives. For all the differing recommendations you might hear, there is one thing we can say for sure: Although most players buy drivers with 9 to 10 degrees of loft, they will probably get a better launch.
It should be noted that total distance is a function of ball velocity, launch angle and spin rate. The latter spin rate has been omitted from the formula. 8 Oca In fact, swings often got the most distance with driver lofts at 9 degrees or less. (It's still true that golfers who swing less than 80 mph. "Loft," or "loft angle," is a measurement, in degrees, of the angle at which the face of the club lies relative to a perfectly vertical face represented by.
