EQUIPMENT: Which Driver Loft Is Best For You

A major contributor to driver distance is club head speed. If we look at the distance you hit your driver it will be a good approximation of how fast you're swinging the club. The squareness of the hit in the face is the other most important contributing factor to distance.

The list below is a starting point as you test drivers:
          Driver Distance          Driver Loft
             100 yards                    15 degrees
             150                              14
             175                              12
             200                              11
             225                              10.5
             250                              10
             275                              9.5
