I bought an 8.5* driver to replace my old 10.5* because I figured lower loft meant lower ball flight, which means less balls plugging in the soggy fairways of the Pacific Northwest. So far, this appears to ring true. I found a 10.5* on craigslist that I might like to own. My question is this:
-Assuming the same swing and angle of attack (which I don't remember) how much more elevation could I expect to gain by jumping up 2 degrees of loft on a driver?
My average technical specs with a 9.5* test driver (if it helps) :
113mph swing speed
166mph ball speed
13* launch angle
2400rpm ball spin
Much obliged.
