A device used to measure and adjust the angles of a golf club’s head is essential for club fitting and repair. These angles, specifically the loft (vertical angle) and lie (horizontal angle), significantly influence ball flight and performance. By analyzing these angles, adjustments can be made to optimize launch conditions, spin rate, and overall trajectory for each individual golfer. For instance, a club with an improperly adjusted lie angle might cause a golfer to slice or hook the ball unintentionally.
Accurate club fitting is paramount for achieving optimal performance on the golf course. This process ensures that the club’s specifications align with the player’s swing and physical characteristics. Historically, adjustments were made based on experience and observation. Modern technology, however, allows for precise measurements and adjustments, leading to more consistent and predictable results. Properly fitted clubs can improve accuracy, distance, and overall enjoyment of the game.
