    A basic inquiry about the Sure-Fit hosel and how it impacts ball flight. I have always understood that as a general statement, increasing loft tends to slightly close the face angle and reducing loft tends to slightly open the face. Two questions... A) Is this statement generally true ? B) If it is true, is it likely that moving from the A1 setting on a 917,915,917 driver to just the D1 setting (reducing loft by 0.75*) will slightly open the face ?

    Very interested in any input

    Found the following on another thread from Cathi, Titleist Club Concierge:

    "Hi William, If you are RH and you move the setting directly up or down on the chart from A1, you are changing loft and not lie. If you move it left on the chart, the lie will be more upright (draw) and if you move it right on the chart, you will flatten the lie (fade).
    On face angle - the standard face angle is .5 open and that face angle is maintained for the entire row of standard loft (A2, B2, A1, B1). If you increase the loft to D4, the effective face angle will be .5 closed. If you decrease the loft to D1, the effective face angle is D1. We say effective because it only comes into play when you sole the club on the ground. Once you swing and square the face at impact, the only change that you have made (if moved to A4, D4 or D1) is to the loft."
