What would be needed would be a way to compare them, which requires a snigle starting point. The only single starting point would be the shaft to be vertical. Besides anything else, it doesn't matter at all what the loft IS, only that it is measured in a consistent way from club to club? |
You have a starting point, it is the sole of the club, all wedges for example have the same lean because it is soled correctly, and thereby has the same loft. This why using a golf loft gauge is preferable to a standard protrator because it takes into account for the shaft lean by measuring from the shaft, not the ground and it checks the sole angle or bounce as well. There is more to club making then simply bending a shaft or clubhead.
