Driver Loft & Shaft question

Here is the deal. I have went thru 3 different drivers over the past 5 months. I cannot get the right shaft / loft combo going, so I am always trying different drivers. I have decided to stick with the Cobra F Speed driver but was not sure on the loft & / or shaft combo. I had the 10.5 w/ the stock Aldila shaft made for the F speed but found my balls ballooning too much. I tend to hit high shots anyways, so I was hoping that the Aldila shaft would bring the ball flight down a tad bit. It didnt. My question is.... Would I lose distance if I shoot down to a 9* or should I stick with the 10.5* & change to a shaft that will bring the ball flight down some? Would that 9* be harder to keep straight? I played a 9.5* R5 prior to this quest. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Short answer: Find a competant clubfitter and a launch monitor and demo, demo, demo. Otherwise you are just wasting money and time trying to find a driver that works. Bigal5150
