Driver fitting recommendation
I am looking for your recommendations on a club fitter.
I am finding some problems with my driver, mostly think I am getting robbed in distance. I have tried a number of drivers and always seem to have a high launch angle and high spin rate(as a result of my steep swing) but have reasonable control and repeatability. For example here are some numbers using a Taylor R7 9.5 with the stock stiff shaft and a Ping Rapture V2 9 with the diamana stock stiff shaft(not sure label was blue but shaft grey). I find same issues with my Nike driver with Aldila shaft and my cobra driver as well and would prefer to change set up and not my swing if possible.
Clubspeed ranged 96 to 104
Launch angle ranged 14 to 19 degrees
Spin 4200-5000
Carry distance 230-255
Is it just me or does a swing speed of 103 with launch 18 and spin 4600 and carry 253 not add up?

Way too much spin. Maybe a heavier shaft or a lower spinning head might help. Get fit with a launch monitor/trackman/flightscope that will be able to measure the spin rates with different combinations.

With your upwright swing, your angle of attack would most certainly give you a negative A of A,( hitting down on the ball ) wich would explain the high spin.The laws of physics say that a 100 mph SS with -2* A of A and a driver with a loft that would produce a 12* L A will yield a total carry of 234 yrd. Same SS with a A of A of +4*( hitting up on the ball ) and a driver with a loft that would produce a L A of 9* will yield a carry of 237 yrds. You would need 110 mph.+ to get any where near 255 yrds. of carry. Factor in the high spin rate and ...
I would say things don't add up.
