What are “stronger” and “weaker” lofts? A stronger loft – or strengthening your loft – means that a clubfitters had literally bent the golf club(s) in question to reduce the amount of loft. (Not all golf clubs can be bent in such a way; it’s typically done only in irons and may depend on the type of hosel used.)

Are Strong lofts better?

Stronger lofts mean more distance/lower trajectory, weaker lofts mean less distance/higher trajectory.

Why are iron lofts getting stronger?

A stronger(lower) loft in newer irons will produce a higher ball flight than the weaker(higher) loft in older clubs. … The intent is to make it easier to launch the ball higher and in the process easier to hit. Also, keep in mind modern clubs also have more forgiveness built into them.
