Adjustable Hosel Drivers - How they change Loft, Lie, and Face Angle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2020
- Adjustable hosel golf clubs, how do they work? We look at Adjustable Hosel Drivers and explore how they change loft, lie angle, and face angle. This same explanation works for adjustable fairway metals, and hybrid golf clubs as well. Why does a golf club's face open or close when we adjust the hosel adapter? We answer that question. If you've ever been confused by the settings on an adjustable hosel golf club, watch this video.

The best video on loft and lie with adjustable drivers ever. Thanks!
Thanks for watching. If you haven't, please subscribe as we have a lot of good stuff upcoming.
Damn never knew this
@@EFGMC clear and accurate explanation on adjustable hosel settings. Thanks for clearing that up. A couple of questions though.
1. Would lie angle 📐 change have an effect on the center of gravity when making these adjustments?
2a. What is the exact degree increment change in lie angle +/- from Neutral Standard?
2b. While negligible, would it be have an effect on the club head, maybe the closure rate or feel?
@@alldayrays7110 1. Yes I am sure it has some small change but honestly not enough to worry about. I think the CG change from increase/decrease of loft would be far more influential yet still too small for most people to worry about.
2.The lie angle change will depend on the club type and what the adapter is set at; 1,1.5, 2 degrees. Taylormade for example has a chart that shows the exact lies, lofts, and face angles with each setting.
2b. I have heard some people say the flattest or most upright lie can influence some golfers closure, but there is no rule for it I would say. Depends on the golfer.
Agreed. This is the best explanation of adjustable hosels and their effects I have ever seen on RUclips.
The revelation for me was the last part about the relationship between the contact and balance points and the 2nd assumption. Thanks for putting all the pieces together. 👍
Have spent ages looking for an explanation of how an adjustable driver works but now I've found it - a superb video explaining in simple terms the impact of changing the settings on the hosel. The use of a clock face to illustrate the relationship between the club head and the shaft was particularly good. Thanks and best wishes
The best video on RUclips regarding this topic.
Thanks. Glad it was helpful.
@Rey Adan sounds like your a real douchebag
It’s straight up criminal how under appreciated your channel is. I’ve never seen a collection of better videos for at home club builders to learn from. Please continue to make content and grow the channel. You’re videos are very much appreciated by us that like to tinker on our gear at home. I taught myself a couple years ago to start doing my own club work and never looked back. Would have been a huge help to have had your channel as a resource. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the very kind comment. Channel is slowly growing and I do nothing to promote it other than put out videos so we will just see where it goes.
yes youtube should be arrested.
I've had customers argue that lowering the loft closed the face and increasing the loft opened the face. The clip where you showed the club falling closed when you increase the loft and falling open when you decreased the loft is a great example I can show my customers. Thank you!
Finally a video explaining this clearly. I never understood how changing the loft would change the face angle if you square the club face to the target. It doesn’t.
After ten searches - I found this excellent explanation of HOW these adapters work. Thanks!
Got to say that is the best description on RUclips…well done. The visual of the clock face really help me grasp what the adjustments were doing!!! I stopped the video and immediately liked and subscribed
The clock face explanation is such a cool way to explain it. Great and simple video to understand. Great work
This guy definitely has a high degree in some areas of science. He knows exactly how to properly preface an explanation
I will take that as a compliment. Thanks for watching.
@@EFGMC I'm saying you're clearly very intelligent, also thank you for explaining this to me
One of the best explanations of the adjustable sleeve. I come from an era of flat sole woods with different bore angles. The rounded soles of drivers make this possible. Slightly less applicable to fairway woods and hybrids that don't have much camber. Tom Wishon was one of the most outspoken in this topic.
I looooove when RUclipsrs are able to break things down into such a simple description. Made understanding adjustments on my driver so much easier! Ive been nervous to try it out
Finally, a video that not only explains how it works, but also demonstrates the mechanics. Thank you
Thanks. Glad it helped.
THAT was AWESOME! I never truly understood HOW the adjustments worked until watching your video.
Super clear presentation and easy to understand. Thanks!
This guy is being super slept on. He has a lot of knowledge and his explanation is through and very well presented.
As if golf wasn't already complicated, I stumbled upon your video lol great info man
That was a great 'clock' demonstration.
One super video, I have played golf for over 45 years. This year I bought my first adjustable driver a Cobra F9 and I wondered how all the numbers worked. With watching this video it all makes sense and you explained it better than anyone including the manufactures people. Great Job...
Awesome. Glad to hear it helped make sense of those hosels. When you can actually see the changes being made, I find it simplifies things greatly.
Very helpful. Makes so much more sense. I appreciate the assumptions of 1 and 2. This helps define the basis of all other alignments.
One of the best videos I’ve seen from the perspective of physics and club engineering. Great comparison shots!
Fascinating! Thank you so much for this video. It was very educational, thorough, and comprehensive. Keep up the great work!
Great Video!! Thank you so much, I watched 5 videos and none of them explain it as well as you do. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for the comment. Glad it was helpful.
That video needed to be made. Thanks!!!
This is very well explained. Thanks for stating the 2 assumptions, without these, I would've thought my adapter was installed incorrectly since the lower lofted switch actually opened up the face.
This made a lot of sense to me. Thank you for the information.
Very thorough and insightful. Thank you for making the complicated understanding with clarity. Awesome channel!
Brilliant, thanks for helping me finally understand the physics/mechanism behind adjustable loft and its relationships with Lie/Face angle.
Wow!!! What an exclamation. Mizuno owes you a check. I just picked up the ST190 and could not understand this adjustable hosel thing until I found this video. Great work. Thank you and subscribed. Cheers.
Thanks for your time for explaining this, I don't think I have ever seen any other video about behind scene mechanism. Brilliant!
Agree! Outstanding explanation on a very complicated issue. Before this video, I completely underestimated how much difference the adjustments made. A golfer can total change how the driver plays with the adjustments.
Excellent video!! I've always been confused as to the adjustments to the driver head vs how it naturally lies at setup. You're point on the two key assumptions the manufacturer makes clears it all up. Many Thanks.
Excellent explanation! I just got my first adjustable hosel driver and now I know just what I'm doing while adjusting it. Thank you.
A++. Your explanation surpasses every other due to your exceptional visuals. I thought I knew the subject well, but I gained a lot of additional knowledge. Great job.
I appreciate the compliment. Thanks for the support.
Great explanation! Very helpful and probably should be referenced by every company making this type of club.
Excellent video - the only one on youtube to actually explain clearly how and why this works! Thank for posting
Appreciate it. Thanks for the support!
The best explanation I've found on RUclips! Thank you AJ
Now i finally understand why changing loft opens and closes the face. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Answered every question I've ever had about how this works. Thank you!
Very well done!! Thanks for taking the time to explain this.
Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more good stuff upcoming!
such a great video. watched many videos on youtube trying to understand the logic behind adjustable hosel and none of them made it clear until this one.
Thank you. When you can actually see what is happening it all makes sense. If you haven't subscribed, please consider it as we will have more videos like this up coming.
I especially liked the clock face analogy. Great video!
Great video. I do a lot of club fittings and hearing how you explains how the hosel works is exactly how it should be explained to the average golfer. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks. Was looking for this for a while now.
I’ve always wondered about all of these questions and adjustable loft never made sense to me before this. Much appreciated!!
Glad it was helpful.
This video is sooo good!! I feel like an expert now, thank you for your hard work.
OMG! Your tone and instruction is great. I'm awaiting my new Cleveland adjustment tool to make some of these changes. Golf is Fun, Again! Thank you.
WOOOOW! That was absolutely clear. This was probably the 10th video I watched about adjustable driver/wood lofts but this has the most clarity. As an adult beginner, this is very helpful. Thanks very much! Now subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Glad it cleared things up a bit.
Great content! Simply explains this topic.
Finally a great explanation of how this works! Thank you so much for this great, informative video. Well done!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Best explanation I've seen on RUclips or anywhere! Thanks!
5 Stars for your great vids, glad I found your channel as a hobby club maker I find them really great. This vid on adjustable hosel,s is exceptional and how you explain the information is perfect. Hope you keep up the great work.
Thank you for the support!
Great video! Always used my adjustable driver without even knowing what I was doing, but that is fixed now! Thanks a lot!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Awesome! THIS IS THE FIRST OF 10 VIDEOS THAT FINALLY EXPLAINS IT TO WHERE I UNDERSTAND IT... because he actually uses visuals.
Thanks for watching. Glad it cleared up the mechanics of it.
Great video and really added clarity to how it all works, made perfect sense.
Thanks for watching!
Straight up. This was incredibly well done.
I appreciate it. Thanks.
I’ve always heard that open/closed commentary and on my head I didn’t think it made sense because of how we keep the face square to the target. Thanks for breaking it down so well and explaining where that thought process comes from.
Glad it helped.
Mind Blown! Well done!
Finally an honest video on how the adjustable shaft works on the golf club. Thanks.
Learned some crucial information today with your video! I have a much clearer idea of how loft and face angle work together now! Thank you! Suscribed.
I have just found your channel and boy I am glad I did. I was looking for information like in this video. Tom Wishon tried to explain the same thing but this explanation is way better and easier to understand. Huge thumbs up
Thanks. The Wishon video gets a bit too infomercially for my liking. I think the clock face reference really simplifies everything. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Best explanation I've ever found on how adjustable hosel works! Great job
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.
WOW! First time (after over 30 years) I actually understand the adjustable driver! Thanks so much for making that video! Great explanation! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the comment. Glad it helped.
What a terrific video explaining something that has confused me for years. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I am now smarter than I was 10 minutes ago 😊
Just watched your video and it makes so much sense as to how the adapters work!!! I have read the manufacturers instructions but I never related it to the shaft instead of the head. Great job!!!!
Thanks for the support! Glad it cleared things up.
Just found your channel the other day and I am really enjoying them. Wish I had found it much earlier!
Just happy you found us.
Most clear and concise explanation I've seen on the topic.
Absolutely the best counterintuitive thought is simplified, thank you
Best explanation I’ve seen. Great reference video, thanks for creating this masterpiece! ⛳️
Well said. This is a masterpiece!
FINALLY!!! Someone who was able to explain how the adjustable hosel works. I thought this was either one of the greatest golf mysteries or product gimmicks of all time. I have spoken with many golf product people and no one could explain how the adjustable piece made a difference in the driver head. You finally explained ( and showed) in a way an engineer can understand the mechanics. Thank you. The missing piece that no one knew to mention is that the adjustable component is essentially bent at a slight angle. I guess the answer was just too simple for others to understand or try to explain. The angle is of course so small I could not see it with my naked eye nor had I thought it through on my own without visual evidence. Also you have a great channel. I am getting ready to rebuild my 7 iron thanks to you. Thanks again.
Fantastic illustration with the clock!!! It all makes sense now 👏
Glad it cleared things up!
This video is amazing, thank you for making and posting it!!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
This is by far the most informative video on this topic I have seen to date.Well done sir.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, fantastic video. I have been searching to find out how changing the hosel actually works.
Brilliant explanation, best I've seen - all makes sense now. I'm off to the range with ratchet in hand!
You're right it's a complicated subject and you did a great job covering it. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This guy Makes A lot of Very Good Scenes.... He would be a Great Neighbor.
are your neighbours stupid then.
I have searched for an explanation on the topic of adjustable hosels. This is perfect and concise.
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful.
Fantastic video... clearly, its tough subject to explain easily... but I now fully understand the principal and function of the adjustable hosel. Thank you!
I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
This is super ! Complicated topic, but very well explained. I like the two assumptions starting point.
Sorry I just found this comment. Thanks for watching and the support!
Fantastic explanation! I was afraid to adjust my driver down as I was told it would open the face but I feel pretty confident after watching this that if my club face is aimed square I won't be slicing. Thanks!
Correct. And even if you did see a slice, you can always just go back to the original settings, no harm done.
Really good video. Thanks for explaining how this all works.
Oh finally ! Someone to explain the topic. Subscribed!
Thanks for the support!
Thank you that is really helpful. I couldn't find this information anywhere. I thought there was something wrong with my driver as I had to really force myself to open the face. I've gone back to the standard loft now.
Great video with thorough explanation!
WOW thank you so much for clearing that up I had no idea the hosel was off set a bit from the shaft. I’ve been opening an closing the face to try to adjust but this make so much more sense!
Thanks. Club companies never explain any of this so there's plenty of confusion out there.
That's how I thought it works but it's nice to have someone confirm it for me. I have seen lots of videos and read lots of articles on this topic but like you said they all just repeat what the manufacturer instructions say and tell you how to use the adjustable hosel without explaining the actual theory behind it. Great video!
Thanks. Happy you enjoyed it.
A very good in-depth video, I have a far more understanding of an adjustable hosel now, excellent
Thanks for the support. Glad it was helpful!
Indeed, the best explanation of adjustable driver I have ever heard. Should be a required video at all golf shops. Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate the comment.
9:20 makes perfect sense. Exactly what I came here looking for. Thanks!
Thank you so much! This is the info everyone needs. Great job.
Earnt my subscription. Great video explaining this, can't believe its taken someone so long to put it this way
Welcome to the channel. Thanks for the support!
Phenomenal and easy to understand, thank you!! So always aim driver face angle at target like you do any other club...makes sense! lol
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
That was such a good video and I now know what I’m adjusting and the lie of the club to my swing.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the support!
This explains a lot. I go weeks hitting driver great. And then my dumb ass starts thinking ( always happens ) maybe I can get more out of my driver if I change the loft now. Up or down. 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for the explanation. I’ll leave my driver alone from here on out. This video was awesome.
Excellent video. Very clear and informative. Thank you for putting this explanation together.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic explanation. A lot of shops that sell these don't really understand how they work. Thanks for making it clear.
No problem. Glad it was helpful.
Recently bought a cobra F8 and it is my first adjustable driver. I had no idea how the adjustments worked or what they did. This video cleared that up! Great video, thanks!
Happy it helped. Enjoy the new stick!
Great Video my friend!! Excellent explanation of how the driver face is moved. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for the support!
Loved your explanation! Thanks
