From Frankly Golf:
The optimum launch angle / spin rate for a 150mph ball speed is 13 degrees and 2400 rpm

I also read numbers like the 16-degrees and 3000rpm numbers you quoted. I guess I have no effing clue what the right numbers are...

Great, majority rules so now I have to go buy another driver because I'm no longer "optimal"...
