My Driver loft wrong?

[carpediem4300]

Im currently using a TM superfast 2.0 with 9.5* of loft,...i hit it nice, baby fade, usually off the sweetspot, occasionaly higher on the face,...Im currently averaging as per my gps app around the 245-250 yard range,....i hit a 266 yesterday but that was giving it some for longest drive in our society game,...

So my questions is would i benefit from a higher lofted driver? could i squeeze more yards out of it without having to swing the balls off it,...i know the higher the loft the more control I would gain,....but i dont want to trade in for something that will negatively affect my game,...

What shaft do you have?

[carpediem4300]

reg flex as im only playing of 18 or so

I bought the 9.5* loft to combat the windy days that is brits seem to encounter regularly

I hit i at a decent height,......on the longest drive hole a guy in the group in front said it bounce and rolled no more than 10 yards, so i got around 245-250 yard carry on it

but if i tried to hit it that hard all the time id only hit 5/10 fairways instead of 8/10

Might want to consider a stiff shaft, honestly.

Only way to tell is to hit different drivers, and especially different shafts.  If you're used to playing in windy conditions, a higher ball flight with 10-15 extra yards might not be beneficial in the long run.

I used to live in the Uk and play some windy courses, what I would suggest is keep your 9.5 driver use that into the wind, then on holes that are down wind use your 3 wood, as per Tom Watson, you will get the ball up higher and more carry with the wind

try it
