As far as I have been informed by almost everyone I have ever spoken to in the industry (clubfitters, reps at golf shows and teaching pros) on the subject, Lowpost, clubface loft has very little direct influence on anything other than the spin imparted to the ball.

You can hit a 9.5 degree driver just as low as a 6 degree just as you can hit a 7 degree as high as an 11.5 degree. The shaft has more direct bearing on the height you hit the ball overall.

Not saying either of us is right or both of us are wrong, just putting what I know out there, bud.

Proof of the pudding is in the eating, experiment with lofts and shafts and see which truth is your truth.
