Did you know loft affects how you mishit your driver?

Fraser Golf Institute explains how driver loft acts as a safety net for high-face mishits. By matching club loft to a player's specific swing mechanics—such as attack angle and path—golfers can maintain stable ball flight and distance even on off-center strikes.

• Higher driver loft can prevent 'low spin death' (e.g., 1,300 RPM) on high-face strikes.
• Component compatibility ensures the driver loft matches the golfer's swing path and attack angle.
• A 300+ yard drive is still possible on a high-toe miss if the spin loft is properly managed.
• Club fitting is about finding equipment that compensates for your specific delivery patterns.
