    How can I tell in the pro shop what lift a driver is? Looking for a 9°-9.5°

    Have a look at my Pro Shop Tables bud.

    Or look at the drivers at WGT.com instead of the app. The driver loft shows here...

    I'm not too familiar with this, so please enlighten me...

    What are the advantages of using a 9°-9.5° driver in this game? I mean, any reason why you're looking for those loft angles in particular?


    ⇩⇩ EDIT : That's a very general explanation of it in real golf, but my question was specifically about the advantages of using a 9°-9.5° driver IN THIS GAME. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Thanks for taking the time to post. Cheers! ⇩⇩

    If I may intercede please:

    Effects of Driver Loft on Distance and Trajectory

    A 9-degree driver tends to launch the ball lower with less spin. This can lead to more roll-out on firm fairways. A 10.5-degree driver, on the other hand, launches the ball higher with more spin. This often results in longer carry distance but less roll.

    A 9.5-degree driver is considered a mid-range option, a balance between high launch for distance and some control over ball flight; essentially, it allows for a slightly lower trajectory compared to a higher lofted driver like a 10.5, potentially leading to more roll out on the fairway for longer distance.

    EDIT: Note that the Diver Loft can also be found by clicking on the '+SEE MORE IMAGES' button within the clubs specifications AD.

    Look at the base of the clubs head just above the hosel. You may have to magnify the image to read it clearly.
