For the great majority of club golfers the opposite is true. Insufficient loft produces a low launch and high spin, which is the worst combination — the ball climbs, stalls and drops out of the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More loft raises launch and reduces spin. That is why so many golfers gain distance by moving from a 9-degree head to a 10.5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The numbers to target\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Launch angle and spin are what you are fitting for, not loft. A slower swing generally wants high launch and moderate spin. A faster swing wants a lower launch with low spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loft on the hosel is just the dial you turn to get there, and the head model sets how much spin you start with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Using the adjustable hosel properly\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Changing loft on an adjustable hosel also changes the face angle and the lie slightly. Adding loft tends to close the face a little, which for a golfer who slices is a bonus and for a golfer who hooks is a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make one change at a time and hit at least ten balls before judging. Driver dispersion is wide enough that three shots tell you nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Weight settings\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Where a head offers movable weight, understand what each position does before moving anything. Weight toward the heel promotes a draw, toward the toe a fade, back for higher launch and more forgiveness, forward for lower spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golfers routinely set weights based on the shot they wish they hit rather than the one they hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Do not change settings during a round\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Adjust on the range, confirm across a full session, then leave it alone. Mid-round changes are guesswork made under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The shaft is not a setting\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>If the driver is not doing what you want after honest testing across settings, the answer is usually the shaft or the head, not another eighth of a turn on the hosel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Fitting tip:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Try one loft setting higher than you think you need. A meaningful number of golfers gain both distance and accuracy from it and would never have tried it unprompted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Model names current as of September 2026.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n",370,{"slug":15,"title":16},"pxg-for-beginners-is-it-the-right-place-to-start","PXG for Beginners: Is It the Right Place to Start",{"slug":18,"title":19},"pxg-shaft-and-grip-options-the-part-most-people-skip","PXG Shaft and Grip Options: The Part Most People Skip",1788299817846]
