Setup / fitMain tuning method
Historical spec note: The source workbook marks these loft/lie figures as estimated or reconstructed. Use them as an era reference rather than an exact factory measurement for a specific surviving club.
Model note: This is the more player focused version of the family. Because the hosel is fixed, tune launch with the correct factory loft, strike and shaft fit rather than trying to rotate the head.
What can you adjust?
| Loft / lie by wrench | No. Do not use a TaylorMade sleeve chart on a bonded head. |
|---|---|
| Ball position | Yes. Slightly forward usually raises flight; slightly back tends to flatten it. |
| Shaft / playing length | Yes through normal club fitting. |
| Factory loft | Choose another head in the family where available. |
Check strike before changing the club
| High face | Often raises launch and lowers spin. |
|---|---|
| Low face | Often lowers launch and adds spin. Check strike before adding loft. |
| Heel | Can add fade or slice gear effect. |
| Toe | Can add draw or hook gear effect. |
If it launches too low
- Check low-face contact first.
- Move the ball slightly forward and re-test.
- If static loft is still wrong, choose a higher-loft factory head rather than trying to rotate the bonded hosel.
If it launches too high
- Check high-face contact and ball position.
- If needed, choose a lower-loft factory head.
