Dynamic Loft...what is it?
Dynamic loft is the loft your golf club is carrying when the club actually strikes the ball. For example, you could carry a 10-degree driver but if at impact the dynamic loft is 18 degrees you would potentially be losing a lot of distance and increasing the spin on your shots. It’s most common for golfers to be increasing rather than decreasing the dynamic loft on their shots due to golfers “scooping” or trying to help lift the ball into the air. |
A good drill to try and decrease the dynamic loft on your shots and potentially gain more distance is to feel like the back of your lead hand (left hand for a right-handed golfer) stays pointing at the target for longer through impact. This helps keep the actual loft on the golf club roughly where it should be and will help to stop an increase in the dynamic loft.
If you would like to work on this or any other areas of your game then get in touch. Call us on 01246 411196 or click here to book. |

| 1 gap, 2 gap, 3 gap, FORE! |
How confident are you hitting your long irons? The lack of forgiveness can lead to inconsistent strikes and less distance. This is when filling the gaps at the top end of your bag with utility irons or hybrids could be the smartest decision you ever make – but which is right for you? |
Titleist’s brand-new utility irons and hybrids are really special, and you’ll be able to get your hands on them through us in no time at all. Why do we like them so much? Well, they are seriously easy to hit and offer unbeatable performance, but there are some things you should know… |
U-500 and U-510 utility irons Quite simply, these offer more distance than a standard iron but less spin than a hybrid. Both come loaded with tungsten for incredible forgiveness, with the U-500 offering workability and precise distances whilst the U-510 boasts a high launch and increased carry from a larger head.
|
TS2 and TS3 hybrids It's time to stop thinking of these hybrids as rescue clubs and begin referring to them as scoring clubs. Both offer plenty of distance and an easy to hit nature, with the TS2 providing a higher launch from a wider head and the TS3 giving us more adjustability in an iron-like profile. |
|
So, which route should you go down? Hybrid or utility iron? Let’s give all four a go in a custom fitting session and find the one that offers you the best performance. |
