At the moment, with my 907.D1, with 10.5 and stiff shaft. I hit an extremely high spinning, high launching ball flight (14.5-17* launch angle, 3000-4000 rp/m)
I am thinking of buying a used 905R off ebay for a good price, with a stiff shaft and 9.5* of loft.
Would this be a good idea, or would the higher ball flight be better.

If it were anything less of a logistical nightmare, I'd suggest a deal with yourself for my 905R 9.5 for your D1 10.5!

Sadly, I can't see any easy way of getting round it

Then again, looking at your avatar, your clubs are back to front, which makes it even less worth while!!

LOL, yeah, my clubs are around the wrong way! Sorry.
Any more replies would be great.
I am mainly thinking of changing the loft as into the wind I balloon the SH$T outta the ball and it goes not even 200m, and my average is about 235-245m.

That could work, but teeing the ball lower can also lower the ball flight so you should try that and if that doesn't work then go for it.

I've tried asking this question before about fairway woods and I got told no, so I'm guessing it will be the same for the driver?

I'm positive i heard somewhere you can change the driver loft. I would have no idea who you could ask about this, but it will save you some money instead of buying a whole new driver.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
