Square an offset driver head, possible?

[Bang60]

I have a Mizuno Widex ll 12* driver head that I'd like to setup as a strong fairway wood, the head is offset which I don't like so has anyone found a way of squaring up the head? I've been looking for a square head but NO success so far as I want a ladies flex small head, anyone help ??

I asked Maltby Golf Forum an FYI no you can't change the HOSEL from offset to square, real shame that because it would be a great head to hit off the fairway...

No real surprise there. 

Can't help but think you could find a more recent head that would give you more benefits, the offset you're looking for and still look great. 

Taking the offset off would change lie angle, loft and likely destroy the club.

Well I’ve not seen a current small head driver at 12deg, ahh maybe you have yeah? Thanks….

How small is small? 

Taylormade and Callaway have made mini drivers. Other companies have made strong 3 woods. Can't really tell you lofts for sure, but I would think it is more about gapping, flight or shot shape that you would be looking for vs a specific loft?

Well not sure about mini drivers aren't they normal driver lofts, gapping is not something I do as I carry a half set of irons "6-8-P-S" plus 5wood and driver +putter. I need the small head because I like to hit the 12deg off the deck and short par 4s, my driver off the deck will go anywhere mostly right...

Pretty sure TM mini driver was available in 2 loft heads (adjustable 1.5 either way) 11.5 and 13.5 and Tm has the .75 adjustments or .5 adjustments. Either way could be sometime for you to look at.

2015 Callaway Bertha Mini 1.5 was offered in 12 and 14 degree options.  smaller than driver bigger than 3 wood.

You could also go for a strong 3 wood/2 wood,  they are typically in the 13 degree range

Bugger didn’t think of this style driver, will find one 12deg on eBay. Thanks again…

turning a club down is different that having it as a stock loft.

I don't understand why, my Otto phlex driver Titleist TS3 is at the lowest loft and it works so well for me?

you hit a driver off a tee and other clubs off the ground.   it may not make a difference to you, but typically lie and face angle change which influence how it looks at address and potentially the flight of the ball.

Hmmm makes sense now, sorry memory not good sometimes...
