How Do I Adjust The Settings On My TaylorMade SLDR Hybrid?

The loft on the TaylorMade SLDR hybrid can be adjusted by adjusting the loft sleeve.

Setting up the TaylorMade SLDR Hybrid is the next step in the process of using the driver. It is an easy process when followed in the correct order:

1. Adjusting the loft sleeve is the first and foremost step. You should match the loft setting to the driver of the club that you use at present.
2. When you turn the driver, you will be creating a difference of half a degree. The face degree will get altered by one degree, in or out.
3. If you wish to achieve high-flying shots, you can position the loft in an upwards manner now. The increase inthe loft will also enable more spin. Keep adjusting the loft until you can hit the balls straight.
4. Now, you can increase the spin by one turn, and your ideal position is here.

According to popular user forums, it is good to use a cocktail stick perpendicular to the club. This step will help you to prop the sleeve adjustment without any difficulty.
