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.
