What angle driver is best for an average golfer?

Question

who shoots in high nineties

Answer 1

Well for one the higher the loft the easier it is too hit straight in theory as the more loft in irons makes the pw one of the easier clubs to hit compared to say the 3 iron Drivers loft range from 7.5 to 13 degrees Alto of golfers use the 10.5 but would benefit from a 12 degree but their ego wont let then but they would hit more fairways and only lose about 10 to 20 yards in distance. But loft is not the only thing that affects the trajectory as the shaft has a huge influence in the balls flight I.E. stiff shaft or reg also the kick point



So in closing if you shoot in the ninety's i would say 10.5

Answer 2

General rule of thumb (with lots of exceptions)

The slower your swing speed, the higher the loft. You won't get more distance out of a low lofted club unless you can generate sufficient club head speed.

As the other posters stated, it is easier to keep a higher lofted club in the fairway.

Don't let your ego get in the way. There are some tour pros that hit 10.5 degree drivers.

Answer 3

most people use 10.5 degree. It gets the ball higher and still makes it go a long way. I prefer 9.5 because it gets it a little farther and the ball doesn't get effected by the wind as much. In the end, it is all about your own personal preference. If i were you, i would go to a golf store and try out a few different drivers with different angles, then just choose which one you hit better.

Answer 4

Yeah you definitely want as much loft as possible on your driver if you are just trying to be accurate. Generally speaking the lower loft requires a bit more clubhead speed to get the ball airborne. Think of it like a 3 iron or a 4 iron. Which one do you hit better generally? The one with more loft. If you are still curious you can go to Golftec and they will measure just about everything possible and fit your clubs accordingly. A bit pricey though. Hit 'em straight!

Answer 5

Try 10 degree.

Answer 6

Average degree.
