Should I dial down the loft on my driver? Numbers inside

Currently have it set at 10.5 degrees. I hit it well, but as you can see my launch angle is around 17 and that’s way too high.My apex averaged like 135 feet which would be the highest on tour, so clearly it’s far too high. Would lowering the degree help my overall numbers or cause negative outcomes I’m not thinking about
And my “low” ones are still around 14
In my mind I would love to get the ball on the ground a little quicker. Less chance for bad shite to happen.

What are yards off line. If you go 10.5 to 9 it’s gonna be hard less accurate by nature. If you’re hitting the fairway with those numbers, you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t change

I have an old Taylor Made Titanium 7° Burner you can try…

Check where you are striking the ball on the clubface. Spin is relatively low for the launch may suggest a high strike. Getting the strike down will improve the launch numbers.
With those numbers you could
probably lower 0.5 to 1 degree without lowering the spin too much

The question is are you hitting a high percentage of fairways ?
If you are and those numbers translate to the course, why mess with it since you should be hitting short irons into most Par 4's.

What's your angle of attack?

Don’t trust that monitor. 300 carry with 113 swing speed and 17° angle and 2300 rpm doesn’t work.

What shaft are you using? May need to tip your shaft a little or get an upgraded shaft to tip stiff it. That’s too high on the apex. Need to bring it down to 125-130 max.
I’d find a local fitting day and hit the Velocore Ventus or Tour AD.

1.48 smash factor
What are you trying to fix lol
Does your simulator have optimizer function like trackman?

I’d go down to 9°. That is a crazy launch angle. You’ll also lower that spin rate down a bit by doing so.

Much worse things can happen with the ball bouncing around more

Reducing the loft can open the face a little (if I remember correctly) so there may be another adjustment to make.
Do it and and post the new numbers.

Here’s a question. How long are your tees?
If you’re teeing it high, you’re going to have a higher launch angle because you’re getting it on the upswing instead of at least semi level. If you are I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s affecting your irons because of your strike on the ball.
That being said, you don’t need more distance, that’s not your problem.
Post up your 5 and 8 iron numbers. Those will probably tell the tale.

I wouldn't change a thing. Optimizing your carry distance is what you should be trying to do. Your launch angle is high, but the spin numbers are damn near perfect. Once you decrease driver loft, you'll bring down those spin numbers and start getting into snap hook territory.
If you were playing somewhere really windy I might look at adjusting, but not in south Louisiana. You'll be happy with that carry once we finally get rain and the courses are soggy.
