      @@EFGMC clear and accurate explanation on adjustable hosel settings. Thanks for clearing that up. A couple of questions though.
      1. Would lie angle 📐 change have an effect on the center of gravity when making these adjustments?
      2a. What is the exact degree increment change in lie angle +/- from Neutral Standard?
      2b. While negligible, would it be have an effect on the club head, maybe the closure rate or feel?

      @EFGMC  3 роки тому +2

      @@alldayrays7110 1. Yes I am sure it has some small change but honestly not enough to worry about. I think the CG change from increase/decrease of loft would be far more influential yet still too small for most people to worry about.
      2.The lie angle change will depend on the club type and what the adapter is set at; 1,1.5, 2 degrees. Taylormade for example has a chart that shows the exact lies, lofts, and face angles with each setting.
      2b. I have heard some people say the flattest or most upright lie can influence some golfers closure, but there is no rule for it I would say. Depends on the golfer.

  • @hbyrdut
    @hbyrdut Рік тому +8

    I've had customers argue that lowering the loft closed the face and increasing the loft opened the face. The clip where you showed the club falling closed when you increase the loft and falling open when you decreased the loft is a great example I can show my customers. Thank you!

    I never had anyone explain the science to me before behind adjustable drivers and fairway woods while being fit. Great job explaining it. Now, I know how it truly works instead of being told to put the settings here and hit it bc that will give you the best chance of hitting it straighter. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for this video. I couldn't believe how many videos I'd tried watching that basically just said "ehhh well ya rotate it and it changes loft and lie, you figure it out..." lol like why even make that video?! Thank you for actually explaining. The critical component that I think is easy to miss and that causes the confusion is that the shaft and hosel are not parallel. I was wondering how the hell essentially just twisting the shaft would change the way the club hits, assuming that it was just rotating on an axis down the center of the shaft. But knowing that it shifts the angle of the shaft in relation to the head makes SO much more sense haha.

    I got fit for a Ping G410 a few years ago - 9 degrees, soft regular shaft and that worked very well . . . but then started fiddling with the loft and draw bias . . . finally went back to the loft, lie and neutral back weight which really were best for me. I'm thinking that the key piece of this video is that the balance point of the club is maybe more important than you might think at set up . . . the face angle slightly changing if you don't pay attention when taking your grip and squaring the face to the target. Great video.

    One of the best explanations of the adjustable sleeve. I come from an era of flat sole woods with different bore angles. The rounded soles of drivers make this possible. Slightly less applicable to fairway woods and hybrids that don't have much camber. Tom Wishon was one of the most outspoken in this topic.

    FINALLY!!! Someone who was able to explain how the adjustable hosel works. I thought this was either one of the greatest golf mysteries or product gimmicks of all time. I have spoken with many golf product people and no one could explain how the adjustable piece made a difference in the driver head. You finally explained ( and showed) in a way an engineer can understand the mechanics. Thank you. The missing piece that no one knew to mention is that the adjustable component is essentially bent at a slight angle. I guess the answer was just too simple for others to understand or try to explain. The angle is of course so small I could not see it with my naked eye nor had I thought it through on my own without visual evidence. Also you have a great channel. I am getting ready to rebuild my 7 iron thanks to you. Thanks again.

    Thanks for yourunderstandable demonstration and insightful "assumptions"., assumptions. The time was well worth it especially after searching for an hour on how the "adjusters" work. I bought a used M5 and want to optimize it.

      The M5 is the perfect club to pair with this video as it has the rotating adapter. Keep track of the ball flight and impact position as you get it dialed in.

    Brilliant, thanks for helping me finally understand the physics/mechanism behind adjustable loft and its relationships with Lie/Face angle.

    such a great video. watched many videos on youtube trying to understand the logic behind adjustable hosel and none of them made it clear until this one.

      Thank you. When you can actually see what is happening it all makes sense. If you haven't subscribed, please consider it as we will have more videos like this up coming.

    This is a great video that explains how the adjustable hosel adapter affects the loft and lie. I think for those that are still having difficulty understanding this you have to think about the center of the clock as being the normal grip position of the individual golfer (of a RH golfer in these examples) when holding club for the shot (A.K.A rule #1). At 5:12 in the video when the clock face is shown and the grip is rotated around the clock, in your mind, visualize the grip being moved to the center of the clock as the final position of the shaft when the golfer holds the club and then how the head itself moves as a result. For example, when the hosel is inserted so that the grip is at the 6 o'clock position on the clock, when the golfer then holds the club, the golfer naturally positions the grip into the center of their clock and the head of the club as a result is rotated forward thus reducing the lie. If the hosel is inserted so the grip end is in the 9 o'clock position, the golfer again puts the grip into the center of their clock which results in the club head to rotate slightly to the right which increases the loft. The lie angle is also slightly higher than it would be if the hosel was at neutral so the net result is a slight opening of the club. If the hosel is inserted at the 12 o'clock position, when the golfer holds the grip in the center of the clock, it raises the lie due to the club grip moving downward from 12 o'clock to center. At 3 o'clock the grip moves from 3 o'clock to the center of the clock thus resulting in the club head rotating slightly to the left which lowers the loft. The lie is its lowest when the hosel is inserted for the 6 o'clock position and the highest at the 12 o'clock position. The lie then always increases when the hosel is changed from the neutral position. The loft is the same at both 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock grip positions and max loft is at 9 o'clock grip position and minimum loft is at the 3 o'clock position. This is all taking into consideration when the grip end is centered in that clock which is what happens due to rule #1 and when the club face is squared to the target due to rule #2. Always think of that grip moving back into its center of clock position as the "final adjustment"
