Adjust The Fit Of The Nike Str8

Nike STR8-Fit drivers come with an adjustable club head to create eight different shot possibilities. You can make alterations to the face angle, setting it either open, closed or neutral, to promote a draw or fade as well as compensate for an overwhelming natural slice or hook. You can alter the lie angle, which is the angle at which the club head lies flat on the ground, to respond better to your particular height and change the loft angle to promote either a low or high trajectory.


Instructions


1. Locate the metal joint linking the club head to the shaft -- this is called the hosel.


2. Fit the Nike wrench around the outer jacket of the hosel joint and twist counterclockwise until it loosens completely.


3. Use your hand to manually change the form of the club head. An open club face promotes a fade or compensate for a hook, while a close face creates a draw or compensate for a slice. Shorter players need a flatter lie angle, while taller players need a more upright lie angle. Golfers with a weaker swing should alter the head to create more loft, as swing speed dictates the height of a golf ball's trajectory.


4. Fit the Nike wrench around the hosel jacket and twist clockwise to lock into place the alterations you've made. The Nike wrench beeps and blinks to let you know the hosel is as tight as possible.
