Not at all. This is after I implemented some of the suggestions in here. Unfortunately I was back in the house before I saw yours.
I also turned my driver down from 9° to 7° when I started this session to try and drop my spin numbers. May need to turn it back up a degree. My 10 shot average was right at 2k spin. Yesterday when I was hitting I was super low off the face and everything was spinning to much. I like these 3 if I could get a little more ball speed and a couple more degrees of Launch.
That blue 6-X was tipped 1/2”. After it broke Swapped to my Ventus black TR velocore that’s full length but I was snap hooking it so I called it a night. It’s not tipped so it feels like it unloads differently.

I’m talking -3 to -4 AOA killing 170ball speed swings. Launch angles in the single digits.
quote:tee the ball up as high as you can. Make sure you control your weight transfer and stay behind the ball. High finish
What y’all got for me to try before I break down and just go have a professional line me out.
thats all i got. without seeing your actual swing, its hard to help.

I'm sure It does with a swing speed of 123mph, that's Rory McIlroy territory. He uses the Ventus Black 6x tipped 1" and his driver is 9 set to 8.25, Scottie has an average of 119mph and he uses a 7x tipped 1". You really should get fitted to see what's best. Rory averages 123 mph and his driver stats are 309 carry and 323 roll out.
I could only wish to be able to swing that fast. I'm at 102 but I'm 53, Phil can get it out there and he's a few years older than me, he's at a total average of 301. I just don't have the time or the want to be out practicing all the time, I like to play a couple times a week, I'm a 7hcp and if I can keep it in the low 80's and sprinkle in some 70's now and then, that's good enough for me.
