Which loft adjustment is appropriate if forward press at impact should be decreased?

• A. More loft
• B. Increase length
• C. Less loft
• D. Same loft

Answer: (C)

When forward press at impact is something you want to reduce, think about how the club’s loft interacts with your hand position at impact. Forward press tends to deloft the club at impact, which can lock you into a lower or flatter flight unless your setup compensates. Using less loft on the club reduces the amount of delofting that can occur at impact, making it easier to keep the hands from driving forward and to maintain a more neutral, controlled strike. In practice, a lower loft helps stabilize the impact position and can help you reduce excessive forward press. Increasing loft would raise the launch and can encourage different flight characteristics that don’t address the forward-press issue, while changing length doesn’t directly fix how the hands influence the club at impact, and keeping the loft the same won’t help mitigate the forward press.
