Golf tip of the week: Adjusting a driver's loft and lie moves the shaft spine | News, Sports, Jobs - Williamsport Sun-Gazette

PHOTO PROVIDED Correct golf spine position is critical.

Adjustable drivers are popular, but there are sacrifices when you make adjustments. The spine of the shaft moves to a different location.

The spine should face toward the target to prevent the club from wobbling during the swing.

Proper spine alignment is critical if a golfer wants to achieve consistency.

Extreme adjustments will also change the center of gravity (sweet spot).

Many golfers blame a missed drive on the club settings and are too quick to make adjustments.

Note: a golf shaft spine is the strong side of a shaft, which should be aimed at the target.

Don’t forget to enjoy this great game called golf.
