change loft or shaft ???

[taylormader7]

hitting my driver (TMR7 10.5/reg shaft) pretty decent these days but incrediblely high also, higher than anyone else i golf with.....just wondering if i should try another driver with 9.5 degree loft or ???? try a stiffer shaft to see if i can get more distance ??? any experience on this will surely help,thanks

Is your angle of attack +20 degrees?

Rather than spend money on a quality shaft....I would spend more money and experiment on loft & shaft combos on new technology.

The only way to know for sure is to go for a fitting, a professional fitter will be able to analyze your swing and tell you what the best shaft / clubhead / loft combo would optimize your driving distance / trajectory.

From what you have said though, I would try a 9.5 degree loft before a stiffer shaft. Still try both out, but the only hesitation with a stiffer shaft is that your swing speed falls right between the recommended swing speeds for a regular and stiff shaft. With a stiffer shaft, you would always be having to be pushing you swing to the high end of your current range to get optimal results.

Hitting it high isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you are hitting it well, I wouldn't change your driver - but perhaps go see a fitter to see what the numbers are like and whether they can find you something better.

How do you know youre hitting up on the ball if you havent been on Trackman or flightscope?

I suspect his launch angle might be.

Re: change loft or shaft ???

how far ahead and high are you teeing it up? i would try lowering the ball on the tee and moving it back about an inch in your set up
