What Loft Golf Driver Should You Really Play?

Is your golf driver actually a “distance thief”? Most amateur golfers are fighting their equipment, playing with the wrong loft, and working twice as hard for significantly less distance.

In this video, we dive deep into the data to show why the loft stamped on the bottom of your club might be the exact opposite of what your swing actually needs. Whether you are a senior golfer, a junior, or a low-handicap stick, you are likely leaving “free yards” on the table.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

The 12° vs. 9° Truth: For the average golfer swinging around 90 mph, a 12° driver is often the “secret weapon.” We show the data on why a 9° head doesn’t provide enough launch, causing the ball to drop prematurely out of the sky.

Stop the Swing Sabotage: When players struggle with low loft, they often “brutalise” their technique—resorting to casting the club or leaning back excessively just to force a launch. We show you how to stop fighting your driver and start working with it.

2 Simple Speed Drills: Increase your clubhead speed naturally by maximising your shoulder turn for a wider arc and training your hand speed to peak at “tummy button height” for a more efficient energy transfer.

Mastering “Dynamic Loft”: Understand the critical relationship between your Angle of Attack (hitting up on the ball) and the actual loft delivered at impact. This is the key to unlocking 20+ yards of distance without swinging any harder.

The Data Breakdown:
We test swing speeds from 80 mph up to 110 mph to find the “Optimum Loft” for every category of golfer. If you want more carry, better roll-out, and a more consistent ball flight, this equipment guide is for you.
