Adjusting The Loft Angle of a PXG Lightning Driver

There are a few simple steps you can take to adjust the loft angle of your driver. You will just need an adjustment tool or wrench to get started.

Here’s how to adjust a PXG Lightning driver:

1. Locate the screw on the sole of your PXG Lightning driver that attaches the driver head to the shaft.

2. Using the wrench, loosen the screw by turning anticlockwise.

3. Once the screw is fully out, you can rotate the adjustable hosel to a lower loft or a higher loft depending on your preference. You will notice the loft figure you had the driver set to and be able to turn the shaft to up to 16 further options.

The available options are:

• Dot Position: Sets the club at its stated loft and most upright lie angle
• Small Minus (-1° loft, -0.5° lie): Slightly lowers trajectory and spin for faster swings.
• Big Minus (-1.5° loft, -1.5° lie): Further delofts for lower launch.
• Flat Minus (+0° loft change but -1° effective loft, -2.5° lie): Flattens lie significantly while maintaining loft, promoting fade bias.​​
• Small Plus (+1° loft, -0.5° lie): Boosts launch height and spin for higher carry.
• Big Plus (+1.5° loft, -1.5° lie): Maximizes height for players needing more loft.
• Flat Plus (+1° loft, -2.5° lie): Adds loft with maximum lie flattening for draw bias adjustment.

4. When you have turned the hosel to your required loft, slot the shaft back into your club head. Your new loft will be display through the window on most drivers.

5. Put the screw back in place and tighten with the wrench by turning clockwise. When it is fully tight, you will hear a crank that sounds like the driver is cracking. At this point, the screw is as tight as needed.

Every time you want to adjust the loft, you repeat this process.
