2 Questions - According to the charts, with my 130mph ball speed, my launch angle is where the chart says it should be but my spin is 2400 rpms, 900-1000 less rpm spin than the chart says is the "optimum". Question 1) How can I keep the same launch angle and add spin? I currently play an 8.5 degree Taylormade 580 with and Aldila stiff nv shaft. So I already have a firmer tip, lower launch shaft and clubface, and I play a pro-v ball (although I was not hitting pro-vs at the place where I had this stuff measured). My concern is if I add loft to the face or get a regular flex or softer tip shaft to add spin, my launch angle will be too high. Question 2) If I can't work it out to the optimum, am I better off going with the optimum launch and less spin or would I be better off increasing my launch and adding spin?

Thanks. I was wondering if there is such a thing as too low spin. Would I need more spin with my 130 ball speed? The launch chart seemed to indicate that was the case. If so, how do you achieve this other than using a high spinning ball? Would a 10.5 degree face offer more spin than a 9.5? Is there something in a shaft I should look for that would help my numbers such as kick points and tips etc.? I turn 65 soon and know that my swing speed will only get slower.

I currently have an 8.5 degree Taylormade R80 with an aldilla nv65 stiff shaft. I went to Dick's sporting goods and hit some drivers on their matt with a machine which measured my swing speed at 87-89, ball speed at 130-132, launch angle at 17 degrees, and spin at 2100-2200. According to the chart on the wall which had various ball speeds and accompanying launch angles and spin, I needed 14-16 degrees launch and 3500-3700 spin. The drivers I hit were 10.5 degree regular shaft, and one 9.5 stiff. I also hit my current driver and didn't seem to hit it significantly worse than the others. My ball striking was solid with most hits on the sweet spot. My question is what should I be looking for in terms of shaft and driver head degree based on the data I received. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
