Driver Lofts

[LDAV]

alright well i have a taylormade r580 xd 9.5

about a month ago, we had a highschool golf camp. We went on the launch monitor and stuff, and they said my launch angle was a bit low and that i should either buy a new shaft or a new driver.

well my friend that is year older, bought the titleist 905t(which im planning on getting in the future) and was selling his taylormade r580 xd 10.5

so im thinking of trying it out and possibly buying it.

what degree do you guys have? and what do you think, switching from a 9.5 to a 10.5

Depending on how much he's selling the driver for, you might just be better off getting a new shaft in your driver (also assuming that you like your current driver). The shaft flex, kickpoint, etc will make a much bigger difference in your launch angle than just getting a new head with a slightly higher loft. If you can, I'd try to find a pro who can not only watch you hit on a launch monitor, but also recommend some different shafts for you to achieve that "higher launch angle."
