Zero torque means the putter face stays square to the path naturally through the stroke. Traditional putters have toe hang that wants to open or close; zero-torque designs eliminate that rotational force. The result: less manipulation needed, a more consistent start line, and better short putts. Brands include LAB Golf (Lie Angle Balance pioneer), Odyssey…

The TaylorMade Stealth driver uses a 12‑position loft sleeve that adjusts loft by ±2° and independently changes the face angle. This guide covers every setting, the torque spec, and common setups for draw, fade, high, and low ball flight.

Quick Settings Chart The SureFit hosel on TSR2, TSR3, and TSR4 gives you 16 settings — the same system used across all recent Titleist drivers. Each letter-and-number combination changes loft, lie, or both. Setting Loft Change Lie A1 Standard loft Standard lie A2 +0.75° Standard lie A3 +1.5° Standard lie A4 +2.25° Standard lie B1…

The Ping G425 uses the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel with 8 settings plus a 26g movable rear weight to control launch, spin, and shot shape. Loft adjusts ±1.5° from your standard head (9°, 10.5°, or 12°), lie angle shifts ±3°, and the weight track lets you bias draw, neutral, or fade flight. Start with the…

The Callaway Mavrik driver uses an OptiFit hosel with eight settings to change loft by ±1° and add draw bias independently. The sole weight is fixed — no sliding track. This guide covers every setting, the adjustment procedure, what each change does to ball flight, and when to stop DIY and seek professional help. Quick…

The Titleist GT2, GT3, and GT4 drivers share the same 16‑setting SureFit hosel as previous models, but the 2025 lineup adds new head options and weight configurations. To change launch, face angle, or shot shape, follow the procedure below. Start with the settings chart, then move to the step‑by‑step. Quick Settings Chart The SureFit hosel…

The Mizuno ST driver uses a Quick Switch hosel with 8 positions across a 4° range. Each click changes loft by 1° and shifts the face angle slightly (open or closed). The table below gives all settings for a 9.5° or 10.5° head. Quick Settings Chart Position Loft Change Face Angle Effective Loft (9.5° head)…

The Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 Mk II drivers use an 8‑setting adjustable hosel that changes both loft and lie together. You get ±1° loft and ±1° lie from the neutral baseline. The factory Neutral position is your starting point; Upright adds 1° loft and 1° lie for a draw bias. Before you reach for the…

To adjust the Cobra Aerojet driver, use the MyFly8 hosel ring and the movable weight system. The hosel changes loft and face angle simultaneously; the two weights (12g heavy, 3g light) shift spin and forgiveness. Start by turning the hosel ring to your target loft/face setting, then move the heavy weight forward for lower spin…
