I use a 9.5 and I like it. I was usually using a 8.5, but I moved up and really like it. I can hit it high or low, so I am not really woried about that.

12* in regular flex shaft (proforce V2), my swing speed is pretty low (90-92 mph) with my normal swing on the course (I can swing much harder but the results are ugly). Can launch angle be determined on paper or do you have to look at it in a launch monitor setting? I'm curious if I'm using the optimal loft/shaft.

I used to own a 10* Callaway FT-3 but I hit the ball very high anyway and my course is pretty windy so it wasn't ideal. I changed to a 9* in the same club and am much happier with trajectory.

I play with my dad's discarded 9.5 Cleveland Launcher 460 Ti because well... that's what I can afford to play with and it seems to work just fine. My dad discarded the driver because he hits the ball pretty high as it is (he now plays with a 7.5* Mizuno driver).

I have a 10.5* Driver, but I really want an 11.5* or even 12* Driver. I have a very slow swing speed right now and I don't get a very good launch angle. I usually tee up with my 3-wood. With the higher loft, I get a great trajectory. Not much distance, though, so I want the longer shaft and bigger head of a Driver, but the loft of a 3-wood. Hence, a 12* driver should be perfect for me.

I have a 12* Nickent 3DX square that I might be willing to sell, regular flex V2 shaft.

I have a 9 deg driver and a factory stiff shaft. This was fine as I used to hit the ball with a nice launch angle. My new swing, though, produces a much flatter launch with an exaggerated sidespin (effect). I am thinking of going to 10.5 to see if that helps.
