I currently have an r7 superquad 10.5 loft stiff shaft, stock shaft....the ball goes very high and im losing distance....my swing speed is about 95 mph....should I be playing a lower loft or is there something else that is causing the ball to go so high

There may be a couple of things why the ball is going pretty high. Check to see if your tee height is right. Normally half the ball should be above the face of the driver or even lower than that. Also, your tee position. When you address the ball, check to see where it is relative to your stance. If it's too much inside your left heel, then you might be hitting it too high on the face.

Also, I just recently switch drivers from a 10.5 to a 9.5 loft and added 10 more yards to my drive. It may be because of the driver. My 10.5 driver was a Nike SQ and I switch to a Titleist 907D2. Both had a UST V2 shaft on it. My Titleist ball flight was slightly lower. But I would still go to your local proshop and try out lower lofted drivers to see if you get your desired ball flight.

Best Regards,
Ryan

The best thing would be to get properly fit on a launch monitor. This can tell you the ball speed, spin rate and launch angle of the clubs. Shaft stiffness, kick point, swing speed, head loft and design all play a role in the ball flight. Get fit and let the scientific numbers lead you to longer more consistant drives.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
