Driver spin question

Shafts don't have a huge effect on spin but a low launch/low spin shaft would lower it the most. Since you're in a ping, Ping tour 65 black is supposed to be solid. Also Hzrdus black, Tensei white, Ventus Black

Lowering the loft will have a bigger effect on spin most likely. This will also open up the face which could promote a fade.

If you're open to changing clubheads, a lower spinning head will help. G430 max is not a low spin head

Yeah. 2000-2500ish is ideal IMO for most. If you have extremely low launch then a little more than 2500 is fine. 3500 is losing a significant amount of distance

Sounds like you are saying loft will lower spin at a much higher rate than a shaft change would. Is that correct?

I have the same driver and it's a 9° head.. I had to turn my down to 8° to get it to stop over spinning

Shaft can have a huge impact on spin. On the same sim with same driver shaft and same ball, my same hits can vary by 1500 spin depending on shaft (even with the same flex). If you are under flexed, that can add a load of spin. With a reg shaft, my spin numbers would hit 4500. With a Venus black 8x tipped, they were 1500. Obviously neither of those are good.

The dynamic loft and therefore launch angle also significantly changed which then drove the spin change. The COG of the club will always try to catch the hands. A softer tipped shaft will allow it to do so which increases the effective (dynamic) loft of the club. A stiffer tipped shaft will resist it

Are the spin numbers I am getting considered too high?

It depends on how you play.. Higher spin on drivers is desirable for folks that feel they have enough distance and their priority is being able to be very accurate where they put the ball in the fairway. more spin typically means less rollout which means if your ball lands in the fairway it will stay in the fairway more often. It effectively makes fairways wider.

for those of us who need every yard of distance, yeah, you probably want to get down to 1800-2000.

what are you hoping to gain with a change? Forget about your spin numbers.

Angle of Attack:-5.4 degrees

at 133mph ball speed, you probably really need to change your setup so that the club is moving into the ball at least at 3 degrees up.

A good pro could watch you swing a few times and get your adjustments dialed in. One good session. Could get that -5 to +3.

Ball may need to be teed higher and further forward. Ultimately we are blind to this. A local pro could be the best money you can spend this summer for optimizing your driver swing.

You should be hitting up at about 2 degrees, this downward angle of attack is what is causing the spin. Move the ball just inside left foot tilt your spin away from the ball and stay back to swing up.

That should get your numbers closer to 12-13 degrees of launch and 2500 spin.
