when tee my ball off, it goes to much of the height, is this normal? I am using a 10.5 deg Nike driver, but what about 9 deg for a better performance? I think its time for a different driver ,but not sure what to search for.

I would take a look at your swing first and make sure that you are not doing somthing to make it go high.
2nd have a look at the shaft and make sure it is not a high kickpoint shaft.

But if you want a new driver, go and get fitted get the right club/shaft combo for you.

Note on kickpoint (also called flex point). Kickpoint and resulting ball height are opposites.
* High KP gives ball a lower flight.
* Low KP gives ball a higher flight.
* Mid KP gives ball a medium flight.

Also, the more flexible a shaft, the higher the ball flight will be.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Echo the above - look at your swing first and then get fitted for the proper head/shaft combination for you if you can't find any issues.

If you're hitting the ball well and it's just going higher than you like, then look at new clubs. If not hitting the ball well and it's going too high, then you might be hitting it off the top of the club or coming in at too steep of an angle.

Most likely your swing. I can hit my 10.5* driver high or low, depending on swing, tee height, ball position, etc.
