Any ideas?

My driver ss is 109 at last testing.
There's another good thread on this topic elsewhere on the site. I'll try to find it later if I have some time but you can probably search for it pretty quickly. Per Jeff's advice, the magic combination for me was a higher lofted head with a heavier or stiffer shaft. A stiffer and/or heavier shaft will decrease spin, so you can add loft and increase your launch angle. I found it hard to find the heavier shafts for demo and ended up in a 10.5 head with an X shaft that produces pretty good numbers and nice trajectory. Would like to try an 11 degree in a heavier shaft for comparison sometime.
