    I am a Titleist loyalist with a full back of 714 AP2 irons and 913 woods and hybrids.  I noticed that the 915 hybrids do no come in a 19 degree version. I have a new 915 21 degree hybrid coming in, along with the 915 D3 driver.  If I adjust the hybrid from A1 to A4 to get less loft, is that going to open the face up or will the face remain constant at "standard"?

    Hi Rick,

    Thank you for the question. Assuming you are a right handed golfer, when you adjust the hosel from A1 to A4 you are adding loft. Also when you add loft you close the face. So the A4 position will be 1.5* closed compared to .5* open at the A1 neutral setting. If you wanted to make you club play with .75* less loft without changing the lie angle you would adjust to the D1 setting. This will open the face to 1.5*.

    Thanks

    Will

    Pardon my typos and bad logic in my original posting… I was flying this morning and did not proof my paragraph.  I knew it was D1  and mistakenly put A4 in the question.. Thanks for the timely response.  You guys are great.
