I presume you mean "the adding of loft" to mean (for example) making a 8i out of an 6i? Yes. This is why vertical hinging (pure layback) is most often recommended for instances where a high, soft shot is needed (think flop, think short bunker, think butterfly with sore feet ). The vertical hinge technique effectively adds loft through impact. __________________ _________________________________ Steph Distance is Magic; Precision is Practice.
