I'd suggest that you think about changing your shafts to get a lower ball flight. They have a much bigger influence on ball flight than loft.

Don't listen to CG031, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Heavier and stiffer shafts don't always mean less distance or lower ball flight. Other things that come into play are torque, flex point, tip stiffness etc. Go and see another club fitter with a launch monitor and get your statistics measured, then go with their advice. They know what their talking about. Don't take advice from someone who plays off 19. There's a reason he needs a shot a hole.

I can hit it 300 all day long. But only if I go back to 3 wood. And get it to back up on the green then sink the putt. Hang on a second, are we talking golf on a real course or EA Sports Tiger Woods Golf 2004? I think alot of the high handicappers (hackers) suffer from this same confusion. I play in Australia so we measure in metres, but 300 yards is about 280 metres. I'm a long hitter and in all honesty have only played with a handful of guys who could regularly outdrive me (including scratch players and pro's), and when I really bust one i can get it out to about 275 metres, but this would need good roll and good conditions. My regular drive would be closer to about 245 metres (270 yards) on a good hit. Any hacker who claims to consistently hit it 300 yards is full of it. Anyone who could hit it that far wouldn't be playing off 27.
