Anyone go to a 7.5 loft in the 905R?

[JGalls]

Took out a demo in the 905R last night and drove the ball beautifully. It was a 8.5 with the stock speeder in stiff flex. I still seemed to hit the ball a tad too high at times with a bit too much spin. I swing around 100 mph with a smooth tempo, but I'm a very high ball hitter.

 

I'm considering going to a 7.5 and installing a altus. Low lofted head/higher launching but low spinning shaft.

 

Any comments?

With a 100 ss I am not so sure a 7.5* driver would be the best move... as the less loft there is the better chance of sidespin and worse shots with a mishit. Not to criticize, but maybe you hit it too high because of a swing fault? I know I had a similar problem last year with ballooning driver and a swingspeed very similar to yours.

 

Fixed my main problem(s) and now am driving it beautifully with a club I thought was too high launching for me before... a 9.5* ignite. And now I am hitting a 9.5 SQ that is a bit higher than that club but it is not too high either. My ss is 105-110.

 

edit: I have stiff shafts in both of them.

I have two 905R 7.5s one with an X NV and one with a X Diamana. Still goes very high and spins too much, both sit on the shelf while the Cobra XX Speed (ugliness and all) or X-460 stay in the bag.
