Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today were going to talk about dynamic loft. You know a lot of times when we're talking about other clubs specially the driver we hear so much about launch angle we need to launch that ball up in the air we need to launch that ball flatter depending on what we're trying to do. We tend to forget about dynamic loft and here I have a 60 degree sand wedge just the simplicity of this video to help you understand what dynamic loft really is. If I hit this golf ball and the shaft returns right back to neutral my dynamic loft would be 60 degrees. If I returned this club step back to impact and the shaft is leaning forward obviously it has a lower launch angle and the dynamic loft of the club is lower.

So I've turned my 60 degree was sand wedge into a 52 degree sand wedge because of the lean the shaft forward. Consequently if I'm trying to hit a super high soft flop shot or if I back the shaft up through impact all of a sudden I've taken my 64 degree wedge I've increased the launch angle and my dynamic law maybe is 70. So remember when you're hitting drivers or when you're hitting different clubs you must control your launch anglel which is how high the golf ball starts off the face and you must do so by controlling your dynamic loft if you leave this you have too much for you to see certain types of shots you leave it too far back you're going to see certain types of shots. So remember launch angle in dynamic loft very important learning the short game take it to the hammer out there on the practice green.
