How do you adjust a hosel?
To do the adjustments, use the tool to loosen the screw in the hosel. Loosen it until the head comes off. Line up the letter and number combination you would like to adjust it to with the dots on the hosel. Place the driver head back on and tighten until the tool clicks once.
What does upright setting on driver do?
The more upright setting tilts the face left of the target slightly. Also, when you increase loft on an adjustable driver, it often will close the face somewhat.
Does increasing loft open or close the clubface?
When you reduce your club’s loft, you’re also decreasing the angle of your clubface. On the other hand, if you increase your loft, the face angle will be open. This rule is true for loft adjustments on the irons, driver, and hybrids.

Does reducing loft close the face?
Being able to adjust the loft allows golfers to achieve launch angles and spin rates that are suited well to the way that they deliver the club. When you adjust a hosel to increase loft, you are actually closing the face fractionally. Conversely when you reduce loft you are open the face slightly.
