What stands out: The loft progression is perfectly even at 1.5° per step. From the lowest to highest option, the total change is 1.5°.
Loft spreadThe factory choices cover 1.5°, from 9.5° to 11°. That is a fairly tight range for choosing launch window before any hosel adjustment is considered.
Choice spacingAdjacent factory lofts are separated by about 1.5° throughout. A 1°–1.5° change is usually a meaningful fitting step; larger jumps create more distinct head choices.
9.5° vs 11°The 9.5° option is the lower-loft starting point; 11° gives 1.5° more static loft. Use that difference to narrow candidates before worrying about shaft or sleeve settings.
Practical takeaway: Do not assume the lowest loft is the ‘best’ or longest DTR Midsize Metals — Driver. Loft should match delivered dynamic loft, strike and speed; the chart is most useful for identifying the correct factory head to start testing.

How each DTR Midsize Metals — Driver loft changes the shot

Club Loft What that loft changes
9.5° head 9.5° This sits near the middle of the common driver-loft range and is the neutral starting point in this lineup. Compared with the other heads here, expect launch, spin and peak height to generally rise as you move upward in loft.
11° head 11° This moves the head toward easier launch and a slightly higher spin window. Compared with the other heads here, expect launch, spin and peak height to generally rise as you move upward in loft.

Static loft is the starting point, not the final ball flight. Delivered loft, strike location and hosel setting can move launch and spin enough that two golfers using the same head loft can get very different results.
