    Great video. I think each sleeve has its pluses and minuses but your comment at the end about which golfer needs face angle vs lie angle sums it best. I have a new Mizuno ST 230 Max and I like the sleeve (similar to TaylorMade) but I play a shorter length and prefer flatter lie angles and more neutral to open faces. The one big plus about Callaway, is that you can keep your grip oriented the same no matter the adjustment.

    Thanks for the great info! I play a g430 9* lst as a lefty. I came across a video on ping sleeves when trying to dial back a fade. I flattened my lie, added back some loft, and moved the weight to neutral (from draw) and I’m hitting them straight and 20-30 yards further with an occasional bias towards a fade. Centering the weight as opposed to assuming the draw setting would neutralize the fade exposed some weird gear effect and neutralizing the CG made a big difference. Love this technical type of content!

    This is by far the most informative and thorough explanation of loft sleeves. Had no idea between the options of single vs double axis sleeves. I def want to testa titlist driver now. Play Cobra currently and assume it's a single axis. Want the tweak ability of that double axis. very cool. I hit a draw 99% of the time with a decidedly flat swing and need to flatten the face while leaving the loft the same and didn't even realize this was possible. Very cool. Titleist here we come...

    Great idea for a video. One of the most interesting things was how the lie angle of the drivers and impact lie angle affected the shot shape and performance. Really great info for people to see how important it is to hit some shots with different drivers and even different settings to unlock that "optimal" setting/driverhead/shaft combo for that golfer.

    Not sure if I missed it, but all of these loft sleeves do not change the actual static loft of the driver. Any loft sleeve in the plus setting will close the face angle that way in order for it to actually affect delivered loft you have to open the face angle when you strike the ball

    I went through multiple fittings with different brands, and I found that Titleist T200's were the best irons for me, but my usual fit is 1 degree upright at standard length, but the Titleist hostel only changes by 2 degree increments, so I found it really frustrating that I couldn't see how it could actually perform for me after borrowing a 7i from my pro shop and taking on course with a wrench to go between standard and 2 degree upright. I really needed to try it with just 1 degree upright! Really annoying!

      That is correct if the club is grounded. The assumption from the manufacturers is that the player will grip the club and square it up off the ground. So when you drop loft, the face angle opens, and then the reduction in loft is achieved by the player then ‘shutting’ the face to square it up. You could argue it’s all a bit of a con. Unless you hover the club and square it up in your hands, you never actually change the loft.

      They typically refer to this as a retrofit. Ian has talked about this service during their Monday Live shows a number of times. They did a video back on April 18th for their Follower Fittings called How to Get the Most Out of Your Current Clubs. It was focused on irons, but they did a retrofit of the golfer's existing irons and ended up adjusting his lofts and lie angles. It'll give you a good idea of what the process is like. Club Champion has a blog post from a couple years ago called “Fitting existing sets.” It's not very detailed but it covers this service too.

    So guys what’s your thoughts on this, I play a TSR3 10 Deg driver on A4 setting went for a GT3 fitting and was put in an 11 Deg head on A1 setting, (with improved club head & ball speed) must admit at 63 and playing off 3 I don’t have the consistency I once had and subsequently depending on what I find on the range before a comp I’m not adverse to tweaking my driver, even down to D1. So I question whether 11 or in fact 10 is the best head starting point. Answer is probably to practice more and stop being a tweaker. Best Regards Raymond

    @Huntgolfride Місяць тому

    I have a Ping fitted by your facility that was 9 deg head. Struggled to get it in the air, so I started moving the hosel adjust around. I tend to hook it, so I went into the flatter settings to increase loft to 10 deg but hated it, I'm currently into the 10.5 deg on the normal lie angle side with no real benefit noticed. For me, I think the head has to be fit to hopefully work in the neutral setting and once you start getting into that hosel adjustment, you're likely going to be unhappy. It doesn't sit on the ground properly anymore. In the neutral setting, I sit the club behind the ball and its nice and flat with the face pointing at the target. In any of the other settings, the head points off line and you have to physically hold the driver face to point at the target which is inconsistent and difficult to replicate. I cant get it to work, so am looking for another driver.

      @andrewliberts9258 Місяць тому

      @@andrewhay8033I’m afraid you have a fundamental misunderstanding about how loft sleeves work. The loft is changed when you square the face. The face angle only changes if you let the club rest on the ground and let it fall into its natural position. This is because changing the loft sleeve changes the angle in which the shaft fits into the head. This changes the relationship between the balance point of the club and the position on the sole of the club that is in contact with the ground.

      @andrewhay8033 Місяць тому

      @@andrewliberts9258 all I know is when you change the loft on the driver it sits different when you put it behind the ball. It opens the face to lower the loft and shuts face to increase loft. If it didn't do this then manufacturers would surely just make 1 or 2 lofts. Like an 8 degree driver head and a 10. Then you could just adjust them up or down and get your required loft. I heard Rory McIlroy saying once about how he loves a driver just sitting square at the ball so one time when he was just changing the loft he changes head rather than change it on the loft sleeve because it won't sit right to his eye.
