Hitting my driver to high

Guys.. i am noticing that im hitting my driver way to high.
wondering what driver you think would have a lower trajectory.
most drived are 200-240 but goes really high. more of my better ones are 260+ but on the high side. i hit a few 200 yard bloopers today too

im using a cleveland launcher comp 9.5 with an aldila NV 65 shaft.
recommend me a new driver/shaft !! thanks all

Tough call, you are already using a shaft with a low launch and and a fairly low lofted driver. Maybe move the ball back in your stance??? I use the NV-65 with a 10* and the launch angle is rarely high.

Get rid of the launcher. I had one for a while and it is a sky ball machine. Everything was balloned a mile high.

Buy an r7! Actually try setting the ball a bit further back(as stated) because you are probably sweeping up with your swing into the ball.

You could also try teeing the ball just a tad lower...

I tee it up pretty low already..The ball is positioned at my toe right now.
Ill try to put it back more but if i remember right i was pushing the ball when i tried that. Ill give it another shot! just that i read lots of reveiws as to people saying this driver likes to go high.

A friend (very good swing and long hitter) uses a 7 degree loft with a high flex (low trajectory) shaft and still hits high but more boring then otherwise.
