Definition of a “Click” when Lofting Clubs
There has been a lot of confusion about the term “clicks” in my lofting tutorials. I get a lot of emails about this, and I’ve seen posts about it over at the EA Forums as well, so I thought I’d address the issue publicly. When I use the term “clicks of loft” in my tutorials, I am NOT referring to the AUDIBLE clicks that you HEAR when adjusting loft. Those clicks tend to account for about 5% of power reduction. The clicks I am referring to are individual taps of the d-pad while holding the B button, and they account for about 1% of power reduction for most clubs.
Keep in mind that not all clubs can loft the same amount. Wedges tend to have around 35 available taps of the d-pad when lofting, allowing you to reduce power by 35%, while some longer irons don’t have this much. So when adding loft to your club, point your remote away from the screen (I usually point it down and hold it against my leg for stability), hold the B button in, and tap left on the d-pad. This will add individual points of loft to your club, reducing its power by about 1% per point.
I hope that clears things up, but if you still have questions, feel free to keep emailing me and commenting on the articles themselves.
