Loft adjusting vs offset

Superbrit · October 30, 2018

I would imagine there is some sort of calculation for this but if someone could clarify for me?

So as an example if the lofts are strengthened 1 degree, how much offset does it add?

Finally found an old thread that had replies from Tom Wishon about this, by the sounds of it 1* is about 0.75mm, if Tom Wishon says this then i got to believe it

Not enough that most people will notice.

2 degrees is noticeably. I bend most of my irons 2 degrees weak and I do notice the reduction in offset.

That does make sense if the calculations are roughly correct, weakening lofts by 2 degree's is going to reduce offset by about 1.5mm, that would definitely be noticeable to me.

Going weak on loft is not as bad as bending irons strong. Bending strong and increasing offset is really painful to my eye. Bending weak and decreasing offset is great.

I performed an experiment as detailed in this thread and showed that bending weak 2* reduced offset by 0.74mm. The links to the photos on photosuckit are broke now but the information is still there...
