correct impact position. The opposite would be true as well. If a player likes the look of a closed head, but would actually be better suited to a square or open face angle, perhaps using a shaft with a lower torque may help to get the club in the correct impact position.

Since most clubs today have shorter hosels which eliminate the possibility of altering face angles, you may have to rely more on the shaft torque as a method by which to get the club into the proper position at impact. Thus, in reality, face angle fitting becomes potentially a combination of both shaft and head fitting; a key point to keep in mind during a fitting session.

Loft is a fairly straightforward fitting parameter. You want to match a player with the loft that provides the most consistently accurate shots without any sacrifice in distance. Do be aware that a club's CG has an effect on how the club's loft may perform. A lower CG wood with a lower loft may actually yield similar ball flight to a higher lofted, higher CG wood. Thus when
