Are you using the correct driver loft?
There have been many articles written over the past few years regarding the optimum driver loft that the average golfer should be using. The consensus is that most golfers should be using a higher loft than they currently do.
I agree in principal, but what has been missed from these articles, is that they are referring to "dynamic loft" or put (slightly) simpler "the loft on the club at point of impact".
Now there are several factors that can influence dynamic loft (other than the actual loft of the club), from angle of attack, to shaft flex and as I will now explain, "where on the clubface the ball is struck".
Most players are unaware of the two curvatures on a driver face, namely "bulge" and "roll".
Bulge is a curvature from heel to toe and has an important purpose (I will discuss this at another time!), and roll which is a curvature from top to bottom of the face and has very little if any purpose.
With a modern 460cc driver head, there is roughly 7 degree variance in loft over the clubface due to "roll", meaning that your 11 degree driver is only such exactly in the centre of the face, it has 14 degrees at the top of the face and 8 degrees at the very bottom of the face.
So, my question is this… Do you really know what loft of driver you are currently playing?

Competition time We are back with our weekly challenge videos and this week it's all about the volley!
Your job is to guess who took the least number of attempts to volley a golf ball after flicking it up on a wedge face and how many attempts it took them.
The competition is being hosted on our Facebook page and you can head on over there by clicking on the links below.
