Explain loft adjustment please.

[Skypilot]

I've got loft adjustment on my driver and was chatting to a club pro about it.
What he then told me has really confused me.
He said that that de-lofting will send the ball higher and increasing the loft will lower the ball flight :mmm:

He was dead serious and said that although it doesn't seem logical, it is true, and due to the physics of closing the club face.


So just to be absolutely clear, I asked him:
"If I adjust my Callaway driver from 9.5 degrees to 10.5 degrees what will happen?"
Answer:
" You will get a lower launch angle"
"And if I adjust my Callaway driver from 10.5 degrees to 9.5 degrees?"
Answer "You will get a higher launch angle"

Can someone clarify for me what effects head adjustments really do have, please?

Ask your pro if he thinks its April the 1st!

you sure he was referring to & said 'launch angle' in relation to the adjustment of static loft on a driver?

launch angle – the vertical angle relative to the horizon of the golf ball’s center of gravity movement immediately after leaving the club face - is not directly affected by the static loft of a driver (or of any club to that)

launch angle is mostly affected by the 'dynamic loft' presented at impact & the AoA, plus to lesser degree the parameters of CHS, SF, BS & ball type will have some effect.
