To change the loft, loosen the screw at the bottom of the shaft and rotate both cogs until the loft setting you want is aligned with the white hash mark on the shaft and the stated loft marked on the driver. Tighten the screw until you hear a click.

How do you set up a Big Bertha driver?

Callaway Big Bertha B21 driver draw settings

1. Insert the Callaway wrench inside the screw located at the rear of the clubhead.
2. Rotate the wrench a few times to the right until the screw is loose and you can remove the clubhead.
3. Align the +1 or +2 marking on the lower cog or the upper cog with the white line on the hosel.

What does the draw setting do on a Callaway driver?

Draw-bias designs also encourage a straighter ball flight by featuring higher lofts, lighter shafts and more upright lie angles. There’s even evidence that with the CG closer to the heel, draw drivers help average golfers return the face to square at impact because the CG is closer to the shaft.

What does the D mean on Callaway driver?

The Callaway Optifit hosel allows you to add up to two-degrees of loft, or reduce by one. Then for each, you can choose an ‘N’ for neutral and a ‘D ‘ for draw setting. For example, to launch the ball a little lower and reduce spin, you can lower the loft by 1-degree (-1).

How does loft affect driver?

Club Loft. In general, the slower the swing or club speed, the higher the loft of the driver to optimize both carry and roll. Most drivers come in degrees of loft from 8.5 to 16. This is because at higher ball speeds, there is considerably more lift created which allows the ball to climb rapidly after impact.

Does lower loft driver go further?

Lower lofts can provide more energy transfer at impact because there’s less of an oblique angle. It’s why your 7-iron flies farther than your 8-iron. In our test, drivers with less loft consistently produced more ball speed, even for low swing-speed golfers (3.2 mph more compared to the 10.5 and 12-degree drivers).

Does adjusting loft affect lie angle?

The first thing to know is that lie angle being incorrect is the most important on clubs with more loft. The more loft a club has, the more magnified an incorrect lie angle will be when it comes to the direction of your golf ball. This means the lie angle of the club is adjusted too upright for you.

What loft should my driver be?

Choose a loft to try based on your assessed club-head speed. If it is between 95 and 104 mph, a 10- or 11-degree loft will be appropriate. If it is between 105 and 115 mph, a loft between 7 and 9 degrees should be considered. Golfers with club-head speeds below 85 mph should use a loft angle between 14 and 20 degrees.

Does decreasing loft open the face?

Being able to adjust the loft allows golfers to achieve launch angles and spin rates that are suited well to the way that they deliver the club. When you adjust a hosel to increase loft, you are actually closing the face fractionally. Conversely when you reduce loft you are open the face slightly.
