The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a sand wedge. (Tom Kite popularized the sand wedge with 60-degrees of loft.) It also describes the act of hitting a shot. (Kite lofted his approach over the pond).

"to hit a ball high in the air," 1856, originally in golf, from loft (n.). Compare sky (v.) in the modern slang sense. An earlier sense was "to put a loft on" (a building), 1560s; [..]

"an upper chamber," c. 1300, an extended sense from late Old English loft "the sky; the sphere of the air," from Old Norse lopt (Scandinavian -pt- pronounced like -ft-) "air, [..]

A loft refers to an open living space that was converted from commercial space to residential space.  Lofts contain very high ceilings, large windows and open space.  In New York City, most lofts and converted commercial space are located in downtown Manhattan.

1. (also "loft angle") the angle/cant/slope/pitch/grade of the clubface relative to the shaft of the club (see image); the phrase "dynamic loft" is sometimes used t [..]

The angle, in degrees, of the clubface. Higher lofts naturally produce higher trajectories, while lower lofts produce lower-flying, longer shots.

The vertical angle of the club in relation to the shaft.

If the clubface lies relative to a perfectly vertical cclubface which is represented by the shaft of the golf club, this angle is called loft or loft angle. As it's common for angles, the measurement is expressed in degrees. Thus, as an illustration, in case one imagines a line running down the shaft of a golf club into the ground and another [..]

the angle between the club's shaft and the club's face.

This refers to the angle of the clubface. Different clubs have different lofts. For example, the driver has a loft between seven to twelve degrees. A sand wedge has a considerably higher loft. Typically, as the loft increases, the length of the club shaft decreases. To confuse the term even more, some players will use loft to refer to the act of hi [..]

Not to go too much into technicalities, loft provides you with a cue as to how high and how far will the golf ball go. It is basically the angle where the face of the club is, in relation to a perfectly vertical face.

The height the ball goes but in relation to the angle of a club head.

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

  The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a sand wedge.

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

Angle of the clubface that controls ball trajectory and affects distance as well. The loft angle will determine whether the shots will be higher, lower, longer, or shorter.

The angle of the clubface relative to the centerline of the shaft. While loft has the most influence on the launch trajectory of a golf ball, there are other factors that contribute significantly to the overall ball trajectory, specifically the effective shaft flex (shaft length, shaft flex and flex profile, i.e. tip-stiff vs. tip-flexible) and the [..]

jargon for the distance and arc as the ball 'sails' through the air after a hit.

the angle of the face of the club as compared to flat ground. Example: "Most drivers have between 9.5 and 11 degrees loft."

Loft is the angle between the club face and the ground when the club is soled flat against the ground. Loft is one of the primary factors in determining the trajectory of the ball flight.    

Elevation of the face of a club. Please see loft angle

The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a sand wedge.

The degree or angle of the club as it meets the ground. It gives you an idea of how far or how high the ball will go off the club. More loft means more height. Less loft means more distance.

the angle between the club's shaft and the club's face.

The angle of a clubface and the corresponding steepness of the shot it will produce. Loft angles range from the relatively shallow ones used for long, unobstructed shots (12° for a driver, 20° for a f [..]

The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a lob wedge.

The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a sand wedge. (Tom Kite popularized the sand wedge with 60-degrees of loft.) It also describes the act of hitting a [..]

The angle measured from the club face surface in relation to the hosel bore. More simply, it is the angle of the club face as related to the shaft position. Since loft is measured differently on irons [..]

The angle formed between the centerline of the shaft and the clubface. Technically, iron loft and wood loft are measured slightly differently, but the effective result is the same. Loft gives you an idea of how far and how high the ball will go in the lauch trajectory. Drivers are the least-lofted clubs (not counting putters), while wedges are the [..]

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 [..]

This is the angle of a club face from perpendicular.

The angle created as measured from the center of the club face in relationship to the hosel bore with the head in the squared position. More simply, it is the angle of the club face as related to the [..]

The angle between the face of the club and the vertical.

space under the roof which can be used as a store room

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

The loft of a clubface is the angle expressed in degrees. The club with the least loft is a putter and the most loft is found on a sand wedge.

Angle of slope of a face of a club away from the vertical. The loft increases with the number of the iron, giving a higher flight trajectory and less distance.

The degree of angle on the clubface, with the least loft on a putter and the most on a sand wedge.

Also called "Lob"; a foot pass that sends the ball into the air.

Loft refers to the amount of “dead space” or air throughout an insulating material inside a sleeping bag or garment. Since small air pockets evenly dispersed within insulation increase the insulating ability, loft is an important factor that determines how warm an article will be. Loft essentially describes the “puffiness” of down or synthetic insu [..]
