| A perfect ball flight is a high, penetrating flight with little backspin that descends at a 35 degree angle. You don't want your driver to spin back in the fairway nor do you want it to carry 150 yards and roll another 80 yards. Too low or too high is not good. However, I like to error on the low side because it's easier to control. The loft of your driver, the shaft flex and kickpoint contribute most to your flight. It's more beneficial to play a high lofted driver(like 10.5) and then bring the ball flight and spin rate down with the shaft. A heavier, stiffer shaft(especially in the tip) with a high kick-point will do the trick in most cases. |
