Question on driver loft

I agree but that's not what you said originally.

That is exactly what I said originally actually.

The degree of the head is only part of the equation. You need to factor in club speed and launch angle because the faster you swing, and the steeper the angle, the more backspin that you will put on the ball, thus hitting it higher. My suggestion would be to get fitted for a shaft that fits your swing speed. Remember, a driver should be hit on the upswing, not the down swing. You will most likely need to get something with a low kick point. I personally hit a 7.5* R5 Dual with a VistaPro 70 stiff shaft. You can't even find drivers these days that low so you will have to compromise and get a shaft that allows you to launch the ball lower with less spin. That was my original post. Now, what part of that is not exactly what you said?

Currently, my drive swing averages:

12* is a bit on the low side. There are specs that tell you what your backspin, and launch angle should be with a clubhead speed of 90. I am not sure of the specs off the top of my head, but any place with a launch monitor should have them.

Now you are just repeating what the rest of us said.

That is exactly what I said originally actually.

Dude...I don't see what you aren't understanding? I'm not going to ruin this thread by arguing with you, but if you re-read my first post, you will see that I said to hit it on the upswing. If you have an issue with me, send me a PM because this going back and forth is a waste of everyone's time.
