Which driver? - Nike SQ 13* or Ping G5 12*

[ace036]

I am currently looking to purchase a new driver. I need one that will launch the ball high. I have recently been tested on a launch monitor and my launch angle averaged around 4.6*. I am currently playing a 10.5* 983K with a Vista Pro 60 shaft, and I hit it very low. My carry distance is only about 240yds. My swing speed averages around 106-107. The two drivers in the title are what I am considering. Any other suggestions are more than welcome. I would like to know how both of these drivers rate as far as trajectory patterns, control, face "hotness," etc... Please help...

A launch angle that low is sure sign of a swing flaw. Either driver would be a band-aid. You may want to consider a lesson before equipment.

Ok, but considering all and any swing flaws aside...which would a low ball hitter like myself benefit from more? I desperately want about 20 more yards of carry distance. I mean I have the swing speed to be a 270 yard average driver-and I usually am. It's just that the 270 yard average comes from a 240 yard carry + another 30-50 yards of roll. You know what I mean? It is frustrating at times.

Honestly, I would try both on a LM and see what happens. It's hard to say which would be better for your individual swing characteristics.
