Please help, what does the UPRIGHT setting in a Stealth HD Driver do ? I guess it make the club sit more
Upright? Does it change the loft ? Does it close the face more ?

I have googled trying to get an definitive answer but to no avail

Cheers

I use a Stealth HD, and all my adjustable TM woods are in the upright position, I can hit my woods perfectly straight, but my driver as always is all over the place..

I thought in upright it takes the left miss out of the equation... I do know though, that I can still hit a super fade shot with a draw bias driver in the upright position. 😅

As you are turning the shaft 180 degrees I would say it cannot change the loft or face angle.

correct, to change the loft and face angle that's when you need to start looking at the loft sleeve chart to dial in what you want.

I had to go from 2 clicks higher (10.5) on upright down to 1 click higher (9.75), to compensate from a low-launching shaft to a mid-launching shaft the other week, worked out well, in fact, I could probably go down to standard and get a few more yards imo.

I'm sure a flat setting (on Ping) promotes a fade so upright "should" be the opposite.

so, a draw bias driver head (Stealth HD in this case - and I guess any Ping SFT head) in an upright setting should strengthen the draw bias even more so, than in a standard setting?
