J33 460

What loft is needed?

For those who have the J33 460, do you have the same loft that you played in other drivers? I am wanting to install an Ozik Code 6 to reduce my spin but worried that combined with this head, I may have too little spin.

My swing is around 105 and my numbers with a 425 TP 9.5 with Diamana Blue 63 was launch around 15-16 with spin around 3500.

Will I be able to handle a 9.5 in the 460?

I have a similar swing speed to you. I used to have a 9 degree Callaway BB 454 with the Aldila NV Shaft. I got a 10.5 degree bridgestone J33R 460, and i put a Grafalloy Blue shaft in it to keep the spin down. My shot dispersion is excellent and i am hitting the driver great. There may be longer shafts out there for me, but this combo works great in terms of accuracy and is plenty long for me. The ball height is also perfect for me - nice boring flight. I don't think you need to go up in loft if you have the right shaft - lots of people are recommending the V2 shaft for this club to help with a higher launch angle, but i think if you do that, then go with the 9.5 degree. If you use a shaft to keep the ball down, then go with the 10.5 degree. I have not hit the Ozik so I cannot comment on that combo.

 

Hope this helps. Either way, it is an awesome club

Ended up going with a 9.5 with Code 6 untipped and it has a nice trajectory and is long. I am pretty sure it will replace my 425 Tour as I hit them against each other yesterday and the J33 was 20 yards longer.

The R7 425 hits higher for me with a 12-12-2-2 draw setting. Could be the stock shaft though.
