Re: Driver Loft

I had exactly the same loft and shape with my 10'5. So I went and played with the toys at the proshop as already advised. I had a ton of fun and ended up with a 12' with a regular shaft. Now I hit them straight , long and with good loft with ease. It is really cool when you have a club custom fitted.
Regards, Peter.

Re: Driver Loft

Funny, different things. I used a 43" 10.5 degree and went to lower and lower and longer and longer. Today I am hitting a 6 degree head on a 48" USGA legal measurement shaft and have gained 30 yards.

Re: Driver Loft

I currently use a 9 degrees driver which works well for me. Being a 6 handicapper it enables me to obtain greater distance without sacrificing accuracy.

I find a lot of higher handicap golfers are trying to hit a 9 degree or even lower loft which I think is incorrect. Until you get to the stage where you can consistently hit a solid 10.5 to 14 degrees driver or 3 wood you shouldn't be changing to a lower degree driver.

Re: Driver Loft

The loft and shaft type is not tagged to handicap but to your swing speed and quality of impact. Most golfers would be better off with a higher lofted driver, even as much as 14 deg.

The pro at my club would not sell anyone a low lofted driver if it was not right for their swing

This is for Krudlerace"
Am I supposed to believe anything you post since it is obvious you are hawking anything and everything for sale by using this site as your free ad space.
You have no credibility here, except for being a con man.

Re: Driver Loft

I currently use a 8.5 with a low kick point shaft and it goes way to high, i was thinking of going with a high kick point shaft and either 10.5 or 12 which one would give me more distance???

Loft trumps shaft in terms of trajectory.
