Re: Hitting the ball too high

I suggest that you get onto a launch monitor and experiment with various options. For your swing speed you seem to getting the correct kind of distance. Don't left driver loft fool you, that is only a static loft - it's effective loft at impact and spin rate that determines the launch angle and therefore flight height.

My suspicion is that if you can't get access to a launch monitor with a fitting expert, you might want to try a lower spinning golf ball first. The difference between a golf ball you spin at say 2,500rpm and one that you spin at say 3,000rpm is quite noticeable in the ball flight and roll.
