The balls trajectory is decided by the velocity, angle it was struck and the spin created. The more loft on the clubface the more oblique the strike on the ball will be, thus the higher it will fly. The type of ball you use will have an effect on the height due to the backspin created. In general the make of club will not have much effect if the ball is struck well (other than any loft differences).
