Got back on the monitor today for the first time in a while and found that my driver spin rate was up a bit more than I'd like.
Common wisedom would suggest that the shaft was the place to look, but checking on a range of different shafts, results were consistent. Ball position good, launch angle good, nice straight shots, but with spin rates about 1k higher than I'd like at around 4k+, angle of attack as high as 7 deg, down to 3 deg on better shots.
Jeff - have you found that moving to a higher loft can actually decrease spin rates by encouraging a more level angle of attack? That was the only variable I didn't have the abillity to adjust in today's session, using a 9.5 head (FT5 Tour and FTI Tour - did 'not' like the square head at all, yuck)
Perhaps a shaft that didn't fit my loading profile was causing me to 'work' at the shot more than normal, but my speed was around 105-110, so I wouldn't think that a softer shaft would help. Even when I tried slowing down a bit to 95+, same results.
