driver loft

Basically im a short hitter, lucky to get over 230. ive ordered a new driver which you can adjust loft and face angle. i have a swing speed of around 80-90mph. what loft should i be using to carry it further? most the big hitters hit it sky high and carry it miles. I know ill never hit it that far and dont want to but wouldnt mind an extra 20 yards

Firstly Liam I know 230yd isnt out there with the Bubbas of this world but it is pretty good. Secondly, before buying this new singin & dancin club did you not find out if you could be fitted for it. Optimising the loft and shaft to your swing and swing speed. So you get the best from your purchase. Or was this not an option? Dave CAC handed Geordie.

Liam, you're a young guy - I have a son about your age, he drives about 180 yards at the moment with a 15 degree driver that's little more than a toy. I'm 40 (ish!) and drive 220+ with a ping G20 costing 20 times as much as his.

My point is that my son is still developing and will get much stronger. I've no doubt in 2-3 years, with a bog standard driver he be out drivng me by 50 or more yards. I would guess therefore that rather than spend �100's searching for more distance, you wait and as you grow you will see the distance just 'happen'. Patience young man!

Good post, Greg and great advice.
