Driver fitting and spin

  1. I had a recent driver fitting in order to gain more yards off the tee. (I would be happy with 10+ yards)..Recent demo's of drivers on the course had shown them all to go about the same distance.

    My current 10.5 driver was tested and it is spinning around 4500+ at 90mph.  The fitter tried a number of different lofts and shafts.  Best configuration was a 9.5 loft with a regular shaft but he could not get the spin down below 4000.  I gained maybe 5 yards with this combo.. 

    His conclusion was that my swing plane (he noted some over-the-top characteristics) were causing the spin and thus no loft/shaft combo could fix this high spin without losing a lot of distance e.g an 8 degree driver with a x-Stiff shaft.

    Is there a driver/shaft combo that could give me more distance or am I better off just working on a better swing?


     

  2. Were you fitted by a Titleist fitter? What was your launch angle? Ball speed? Which shafts did you try out?
