What type of loft you need depends on the type of courses you play. If the fairways are normally soft and lush, go for a driver that gives you a higher loft. Higher lofted drivers travel farther in the air, and if the fairways are soft or the grass is fairly long, the ball will stop quickly no matter what loft you have. If the fairways are typically short and hard, try a lower lofted driver. The ball won't travel as far in the air, but because of the fairway conditions, the ball will go farther than a higher lofted driver after you factor in the roll. Another factor is if you live in a typically windy climate, a lower lofted driver will be less affected by the wind.

If you are playing a combination of courses that have both types of fairways, you could always settle, for a 9* or a 9.5*......
