Re: 9.5? 10.5? regular flex? stiff flex?

The shaft of your driver is too stiff if you have trouble getting it off the ground. Try a lighter and lower flex shaft. Loft doesnt really come into the launch angle that much, its always a good idea to go with more lof since that usually means less spin and more control but if you are happy with the control of your driver then 9.5 is just fine.

I play an 8.5 with an x flex blue because I have the opposite problem with the driver, I need to take some height off it and I have found that the very stiff shaft seems to do the trick.

Other things you can try include teeing the ball a little bit lower so you come into the ball a little steeper. Also look at your ball selection, lower spin balls tend to fly lower, not to plug any particular brand but Callaway HX tours fly quite high (so I dont use em!!) so you could try them as well.

Good luck,

D.
