How to Adjust the Nike Straight Fit

You can adjust the loft, lie and face angles of a Nike STR8-Fit driver to create one of eight different shot possibilities. This feature allows golfers of a variety of ages and skill levels to create their optimal driver settings. The face angle can be closed, open or neutral to promote a draw or fade as well as counteract a natural slice or hook. You can change the lie angle (angle at which the club lies flat on the ground) depending on your height, and the loft angle to promote a high or low trajectory.

Instructions

    • 1

      Locate the small metal joint that links the shaft and club head together. This is known as the hosel.

    • 2

      Fit the Nike angle wrench around the outside of the hosel joint and twist counterclockwise to loosen. This will make the club head malleable.

    • 3

      Use your hands to alter the form of the club head to obtain your desired trajectory. A closed club face will promote a draw or help compensate for a slice, while an open club face will create a fading effect or counteract a hook. Shorter players will need a flatter lie angle, while taller golfers will need a more upright one. Adding loft will promote a higher trajectory and subtracting it will create a lower one.

      Fit the Nike wrench around the hosel joint once more and twist clockwise to securely fasten and lock your alterations in place. Most Nike angle wrenches will beep or blink once the hosel is as tight as possible; if your model doesn't, just use your best judgment.
