This week’s prime golf tip from Alastair Taylor, educating skilled at Herons’ Reach GC, is to verify your driver has the appropriate loft.

Most golfers now have adjustable drivers however all too usually they modify the loft down when their tee pictures do not fly as they want.

Two key elements affect how the ball launches from the membership face – the angle of assault and the strike location on the face.

Angle of assault – whether or not the membership is travelling up, degree or down by impression – would not often change a lot from drive to drive. What modifications is strike location.

The loft the membership is ready to is often at the centre of the membership face. However, most golfers usually are not conscious that an inch up from centre there’s an additional 5 levels of loft, whereas an inch down the face there are 5 levels much less. This means the ball might fly very in another way relying on the place the face strikes it.

So subsequent time you might be sad with the trajectory of your drive, take note of strike. Only alter the settings in your driver in the event you’re nonetheless not proud of the flight after an excellent strike.
