SPIN LOFT 11º

-

Think of spin loft as the difference between the club’s loft at impact and its attack angle. The closer those two align, the more compressio­n you can generate, and the more you’ll reduce spin. “Joe Miller looks for 3-5º of spin loft to find his optimal flight,” says his coach Lee Cox. “But as club speed drops you’ll need more spin and more spin loft to keep the ball airborne.” Trackman generally advise a spin loft of around 11º as ideal for the regular player though, as with all elements of optimising, a driver fitting is essential.
