Excellent video , but you should also tell the viewers that adding loft will promote the toe to be closed to prevent some fade spin and decreasing loft will open the face and promote more fade spin . If your miss is right you should buy the correct lofted driver and add loft . If your miss is left you should buy the correct lofted driver and decrease loft . Cheers 🍻
Just a thought. That seems like the shaft would not ever get memories, other shafts has the cog that spins so over time the shaft is always the same an gets memory an a straiter bend every swing .if u use the ping shaft setting for a year then rotate it youll probably hook or slice real bad cause the shaft is slightly curved, i could be wrong but it makes since to me
Hi David, thanks for the comment! Here is a video where we tested a few of the settings to compare the differences: ruclips.net/video/oAh3iPSX6fQ/видео.html
mdunhamful - same, so I tried the weight at draw bias (advised by pro AG staff), at 9.5 loft , worked a charm, ball still ballooned once or twice, pull it all back to neutral and got into the zone, am gonna try negative flat, soon. Trial and error and lots of practice should do.
Negative flat will make you go even more right. It will start the ball more out to the right and then your slice will go even more right. However if by going up in loft you launch the ball way too high…you should have bought a lower lifted head ans then turn it up. In its standard (dot) setting, it is in its most upright position with face Nuetral. You can also move the weight to draw….and if you increase the loft it might help reduce your slice. So in a nut shell…increase the loft and move the weight to draw. You can also try strengthening your grip a Litt and moving the ball a little more forward. I have played Callaway and ping drivers. But ping always seem to be fading more…and I have to strengthen my grip to get my draw back. When I use a callaway…I get a 10.5 head and go -1, N which opens the face 2* degrees…to help me not go left. I like the callaway/titleist loft sleeve better. Any time you turn down loft, you typically open the face and if you go up in loft you close the face. For you in a callaway head, you would buy a lower lofted head and increase the loft on it +1/+2 and D (for draw) the D makes it more upright ans by increasing the loft you would close the face. This would reduce your slice.

Ok loft and lie is changed on flat setting but the face angle doesn't change, I prefer flat lie with 1 degree open face. The face angle is more important than loft and lie angles.
Please try and remember that you have left-handed customers. Your comment about the flat settings keeping the ball from going "LEFT" are only correct for a portion of your audience. thanks
Hi, as I understand the SFT is designed to help correct the right shot by effectively doing what moving the weight to the draw position in the G410 plus does, it just moves the weight even further in the SfT model. The outcome being the face will be more closed at impact. Using the Flat setting on the hosel adapter will have the effect of pushing the toe of the driver down/lowering your hands at address (ie flattening the lie of the club). Flattening the lie can help reduce the shot that goes to the left (for a right handed player), it is particularly prevalent in fairway woods and hybrids. The way to see if this feature is going to help you is to try it on the practice fairway by hitting drivers directly into the wind (not down wind or cross wind). Having said all that most people who buy an SFT driver will usually still miss right or at best correct to an acceptable straightish shot, not miss left with it. As I understand you can’t move the weight in an SFT driver, so if after having tested flattening the lie you are still hitting it left, I would suggest you go have a lesson to help you square the club face at impact (after which you may also need to look for a new driver once you have fixed the issue)...... Hope this helps.......
Then the intent is to rotate the face open back to square, that then adds the loft. As nicely explained by Tom Wishdon in one of his videos on here. ruclips.net/video/aj5KOk2oXU0/видео.html
@@2ndswing At flat zero position is it three degree more flat or three degree more upright? sorry i am confused by the terminology. I think in Taylormade Driver, +1 degree flat means 1 degree more upright.
based on the video I understand that all 3 flat setting are 3 degrees flat, +1 increases loft 1 degree, 0 leaves loft as designed, -1 reduces loft 1 degree.....can you please confirm..... WHAT SETTING I SHALL USE SINCE MY DRIVER TEND TO GO FROM LEFT TO RIGHT MOST OF THE TIME, PLEASE HELP ME WITH A BETTER SETTING
Hi, thank you for watching! The flat settings will open the face angle and turn the clubface slightly open at address. +1 will increase loft by 1 degree and slightly close the clubface. 0 will leave the face and loft in its standard setting. -1 will reduce loft by 1 degree and slightly open the face angle. If you are missing with a left-to-right ball flight, the +1 setting would be recommended to help close the clubface at address. THanks!
Great explanation. Finally someone actually explains what the 3 flat settings mean. Ie they are all flat and the plus and minus adjust the loft.
Excellent video , but you should also tell the viewers that adding loft will promote the toe to be closed to prevent some fade spin and decreasing loft will open the face and promote more fade spin .
If your miss is right you should buy the correct lofted driver and add loft .
If your miss is left you should buy the correct lofted driver and decrease loft .
Cheers 🍻
Excellent tip. Just what I needed to see.
Thanks for watching!
Good job! Very informative.
Great! That's what I needed to know.
A discovered this Channel today. So much useful info and deserved more subs. Keep going!
Thanks Juanma - we're glad you found us!
That is so useful to know, great vid
Thanks for watching! Are you playing a PING driver? - Thomas
Excellent !
Thanks for watching - Thomas
I want a ping g420, don't care if it's used, but will only buy it once I can hit it at a real driving range.

You've simply pointed out out what anyone can see. The question is WHY do you make these changes and what are the results from each change.
Hi David, thanks for the comment! Here is a video where we tested a few of the settings to compare the differences: ruclips.net/video/oAh3iPSX6fQ/видео.html
Great video. Very understandable. I Just bought this driver and am slicing it right. What adjustments help that ??

If it was very understandable, you wouldn't be asking the question. It was not a good video. I still don't know what Flat means exactly
Can’t seem to get the head off the shaft. Loosened the screw completely and the head still won’t budge!
Tap it on the ground
What setting should I use. I have decent club speed but can’t get ball up in air much, just line drives
Ok loft and lie is changed on flat setting but the face angle doesn't change, I prefer flat lie with 1 degree open face. The face angle is more important than loft and lie angles.
How many degrees flat are the three flat settings? Ping just says “up to 3 degrees”
I don’t understand where the 3 degrees of adjustment come from, or is that the spread, whereby the max adjust is actually only 1.5 degrees up or down.
It's the total range he means 9-12 degrees. Only 1.5 either way.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. - Thomas
what do you mean flat? i have sft and my miss is left, can i use the flat setting to have it go less left?
Kevin Vanic same issue, I didn’t mean to buy an SFT fairway wood but hook it dreadfully now. Hoping going flat will alleviate that to some extent.

Bruce Crouch thanks. My miss is left so I sold the sft and got the plus. Way better.
Great video! Will increasing or decreasing loft change the face angle?
How do you take the head off? I lossed the whoel screw until it feels like its floating in there and the head wont seperate from shaft
But does the face angle change if you loft up? I thought when you add loft, it closes the face?
Depending on the manufacturer the face can close slightly when lofting up or open when lofting down
Can I use a Taylormade tool on a ping club? Thanks!
Yes absolutely! Most manufacturers wrenches are universal. - Thomas
Will this sleeve fit into older heads like the G400?
No...I have both and 410 is smaller..
so adding loft doesn't close the club face with ping clubs anymore?
When you go up in loft will it also close the face?
Mark Crichton that is correct. I believe going up the small amount closes the face angle the most.
Then the intent is to rotate the face open back to square, that then adds the loft. As nicely explained by Tom Wishdon in one of his videos on here.

When you put it in the flat settings are all 3 settings 3 degrees flat?
No. As it relates to the standard lie angle, the Flat Zero position is three degrees flat while the Flat +1 and -1 positions are two degrees flat.
@@2ndswing Thanks.
I had the same question. And answered !
It would be nice to see balls hit from the different settings
@@2ndswing At flat zero position is it three degree more flat or three degree more upright? sorry i am confused by the terminology. I think in Taylormade Driver, +1 degree flat means 1 degree more upright.

If you use Golf Prisde align grips 🙄
You don't talk about face angle, the grip configuration is irrelevant. Face angle lie are way more important than loft.
Okay, but what does FLAT mean? Haha Terrable Video!
