A device employed to measure and adjust two crucial club parameters impacting ball trajectory and performance: the lie angle (the angle between the shaft and the sole of the club when addressed) and the loft angle (the angle between the clubface and a vertical line). Precise measurements ensure the clubface is square to the target line at impact, optimizing launch conditions.
Accurate club fitting is paramount for golfers seeking to improve their game. This equipment allows club fitters and manufacturers to customize clubs to an individual’s swing and physical characteristics. By optimizing these parameters, players can achieve greater distance, accuracy, and consistency. Historically, these adjustments were made manually, often based on trial and error. Modern equipment provides quantifiable data, leading to more precise and effective club adjustments. This precision has contributed significantly to the evolution of golf club technology and enhanced performance across all skill levels.
