Are Your Golf Clubs Really Off? The Truth About Lofts and Lies

Ever wondered if your golf clubs’ lofts and lies have drifted over time? Get the real story here!

Are your clubs actually off or is it just swings and lollipops?

Summary

  • For some golfers, the impact of playing conditions on club specs is minimal.
  • Advancements in driving range mat technology are worth considering.
  • Initial build precision may contribute significantly to variations in club angles.

Positive Reactions to Club Checking

Winsletts jokingly questions the poster’s swing power, suggesting insufficient force may contribute to less drift in loft and lie angles.

Negative Experiences with Club Drift

GolfSicko417 shares how his Apex Pro irons drifted despite his proper usage and regular play schedule, causing a measurable impact on performance.

Consideration for Machine Calibration

Wibbly23 suspects that discrepancies in club angles might arise from differences in calibration between the building and checking machines, hinting at initial build quality as a potential factor.

While some golfers find minimal deviations in club angles, others experience significant drift, highlighting the importance of occasional checks to maintain optimal performance. The individual variability in club specifications emphasizes the need for personalized assessments rather than broad assumptions about club consistency.
