What setting is a lower loft (ie. 9 degree rather than 10)

[albie999]

I have a driver that has an adjustable loft option, standard is 10 degree, however, when I remove the head the settings say +1.25 or -1.25, is it the + or the - that allows the loft to be allowed

Example, if I set it to +1.25 .. does that mean it is then a 11.25 degree loft, or a 8.75 degree loft

+1.25 would put the loft at 11.25.
It will also close the face angle by a degree or two.

This is debatable. I'm not sure that it does. Even if it does, if you grip the club so that the face looks square when you put it behind the ball you've corrected it.

OK, so if I want to lower the loft (towards 9), then it goes towards the -1.25

Also, Maninblack, so in essence, if I "square" the face up .... then no drivers are really adjustable?

I thought the adjustably was the lie angle that changes and that lofts the club up or down, some like mine have 10.5°/9.5°/9° d take it that's draw then the same without d on the opposite side

Not at all. The end of the adapter is slightly bent, that's where the adjustability is. If you square up the face you'll still have the lower loft.

OK .. adjusted down by -1.25 (it was actually at 10.5 head), so that should now be 9.25 degree loft ..... will see if I see any flight difference at the range next time
