to strike (the ball) so that it will go over an obstacle.

1. the angle of the clubface relative to the shaft of the club from the frontal plane. Example: Typical Drivers have between 9.5 and 11 degrees loft.

A measurement, in degrees, of the angle at which the face of the club lies relative to a vertical face.

The measurement, in degrees, of a club's angle. Short irons have more loft than long irons.

The backward slope on the face of the club, defined in degrees for each club.

The angle of the clubface that gives height to the ball.

Distance the ball travels before actually making contact with the lane surface after the bowler releases the bowling ball.

The distance beyond the foul line that the ball goes after leaving the bowlers hand to the point it impacts the lane surface.

1. the angle/cant/slope/pitch/grade of the clubface relative to the shaft of the club from the frontal plane 2. hoist or lift

The distance past the foul line that the ball travels before it physically hits the lane. Control of loft is related to ball speed, lift and revolutions.

The angle on the club head which gives more or less height to the ball when it is struck.

The angle created as measured from the center of the club face in relation to the hosel bore. More simply, it is the angle of the club face as related to the shaft position.

The angle of the clubface to the ground. The greater the loft, the higher the golf ball will go.

The degree of slope on the face of a club which varies the distance and trajectory that can be achieved with each.

The angle of the clubface that controls trajectory and affects distance.

The upward slant of the clubface or the angle of which is measured in degrees when the club is resting on the ground. The loft of the club, combined with the club weighting, helps determine the angle at which the ball is launched and the amount of backspin on the ball. These two factors govern the trajectory of the resultant ball flight. Given the same club weighting, the lower the loft, the lower the ball will fly. The more loft a club has, the higher the ball will fly.

kick or strike high in the air; "loft a ball"

The angle of the face of a club that determines how far and how high a ball will travel.

The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a sand wedge. It also describes the act of hitting a shot.

The angle of the clubface to the ground. The more loft a club has (indicated by how high the number is on the club) the higher the ball goes and the shorter distance it travels.

The angle of the clubface which is measured in degrees. Putters have the smallest amount of loft (usually around five degrees) and the lob wedge is has the most loft (between 58 and 64 degrees). A driver typically has between eight and eleven degrees loft.

The angle of a club face. The steeper the loft, the higher up a ball will fly, but the less far the ball will travel.

The angle, measured in degrees, of the clubhead's face when the club is soled properly. Driver lofts typically range from 6 to 12 degrees, fairway woods from 13 to 28 degrees and irons from 18 (2 iron) to 61 degrees (LW).

The distance the ball travels in the air before it hits the lane.

Angle of the club face relative to the horizontal plane it is resting upon (the ground), normally between 2° and 4°.

The angle of the clubface in relation to the ground. Loft dictates the trajectory of the ball flight.

The angle on the face of a golf club.

The angle of the clubhead, measured with respect to the shaft.

the angle of the face of a golf club; a lower loft is meant to produce a shot with a lower trajectory and therefore greater distance.

Is how far the ball travels before actually making contact with the lane surface.

The elevation of the ball in the air. Also means the angle at which the club face is set from the vertical and is used to lift the ball into the air. It is measured precisely as the angle between the face and a line parallel to the shaft.

This is the angle of the club face relative to the vertical.

a measure in degrees of the face angle of a club head. A higher lofted club such as a wedge will have a greater face angle and will hit the ball higher whereas a lower lofted club such as a driver has very little loft and will hit the ball lower. Remember more loft means more height and more backspin while less loft means a lower ball flight and more sidespin.

The distance the ball travels between time of release and the time it hits the lane. A bowler often needs to adjust the loft somewhat to increase or decrease rotation.

The angle formed between the centre line of the shaft and the clubface. Loft determines the launch angle of the ball. As a general rule of thumb the loft in a set of irons increases by 4 deg per club. Woods are different in that there would be about 4 deg difference but that refers to odd numbers (1, 3, 5)

1) The elevation of the ball when it has been hit into the air; 2) The angle at which the club face is set from the vertical. The greater the club's loft, the higher the ball is lifted.

The degree or angle of the face of the club.

The angle of the clubface relative to vertical.

The degree at which a clubface looks upward.

(1) A style of residential construction. In Houston the term "loft" is used quite liberally. It may refer to an older building that has been converted into residential condominiums, or it may mean a new mid-rise project with a "loft-style" finish to the units. There are also new construction town homes that are promoted as being "lofts". A builder creates new loft space by leaving exposed brick walls, bare polished concrete floors and having unhidden heating ducts, trusses, etc. (2) An upstairs room or area that has an open wall, overlooking a room or area below.
