I am wondering what loft is popular for users of the Gmax driver. I purchased one at 9 degrees Are you lofting up or finding the Max is better at lower lofts. I have a regular shaft in mine swing speed in the high 80's

I would think at high 80s you'd want more loft than 9 degrees. I haven't looked at new drivers in a long time, but I'm in mid 90s and use a 10.5 i20 with R flex, seem to get pretty optimal conditions.

Shouldn't one consider their usual launch angle besides swing speed?

I've have a pretty mediocre swing speed (about 85) and a pretty horrific launch angle of 18* and sometimes even more, so fitters (and even your regular store reps) have recommended me 10* with either 1* close face or draw driver settings. Also, isn't Ping famous for giving more loft than stated on the driver club anyways?

I have a MAX at 9*, HZRDUS yellow 6.0 76g. I ordered it with a little hotmelt high on the face hoping to cure the sound a tad, which it has but it definitely launches a little lower than a standard 9* head. These MAX heads get the ball in the air nicely. SS 100-105 mph.

From what I was told it all depends on ball speed and launch angle. Slower swing speed and higher lofts is only a starting point. Sometimes higher swing speeds are required to deal with the backspin generated by higher lofts. In other words less of factors to consider. I'm at 9.5 with mid 90s swing speed in a stiff shaft.

10.5°, Alta CB R flex. Tee with 1/2 ball above crown seeing 225 with high 80's swing speed. Tee it with top of ball at crown for low shot. Seeing nice straight flight unless I come out of thru swing (extend) and then usually see a push to the left (I am a lefty)

Mine’s a 9° set to the large minus and gets the ball up.

I can’t imagine how high a 10.5° would launch.
