Andy thanks - I agree with much of what you said

The fitter I went to uses a Zelocity launch monitor (radar based instead of photo based) - and I actually took the specs he recommended and bought my driver elsewhere (paid about half and you're right - the thing could be 11.5* or 12* within TM's tolerances) - the smart thing would probably be to go back to him, tell him the issue I'm having with my current driver, get fitted again with my own balls and have him build me a driver, but I can't help but tinker with it myself

I mentioned the DCT and the 919 as possible replacements, both are component heads that would allow me to have loft and face angle hand selected, eliminating the "stated loft" vs "actual loft" question
