[O.B.Left]

11 degrees is the most I have used. It really depends on the driver, how it is constructed, position of the center of gravity, open or closed, etc. I am currently using about 9.5.

I would be careful of hitting "down" with a driver. Any downward attack angle will increase the spin which is bad for a driver. I have done much better since I have taken the driver down to low point and had the ball just slightly forward of that. Better launch and lower spin.

Thanks golfgnome.

So you're not quite hitting up then? Right at Low Point under the left shoulder? Is that right? Cool.

My new Titleist D3 driver sets up a little bit different than previous ones Ive had. To my eye it looks a touch open or should I say it has more reverse shaft lean on it maybe? Like its designed for hitting a ball tee'd more forward of low point maybe? It doesnt bother me though, I love the thing. I am hitting more fades than before but I'm angled hinging more now too. I dunno.

Have you noticed some drivers having more reverse shaft lean these days?

All the best for '10.
