It sounds like you are coming up into the ball on the upswing which is usually desirable but tends to increase loft some. I wonder if the head is ahead of the shaft at impact which can further increase loft.
What's the other parameters of the ball flight? Are you hitting more of a draw with this club? Moving it back in your stance can help some but the risk is pushing the ball towards a slice.
Best,

I have a seemingly simple fitting question concerning a club I put together recently. When I hit the ball, I almost always have a trajectory that is far higher than normal for me (which is fairly high already). The shots are so high, I get no distance from them. Normally, I can hit about 250 on a "good" swing with my driver. With this club, its about 150!! I have not hit a club with this kind of consisten result before. I've had my fair share of high-flying shots that gain no distance, but on this club it's every shot. So this brings me to my question. What things do I need to look at adjusting? The measured loft of the head is 10.5* which is around what I normally hit, the shaft is 45" long, also typical for me. I am putting the ball at the same position in my stance as I normally do (off the inside of the left foot - I'm RH). The head is a PowerBilt GrandSlam 230cc and the shaft is a UST ProForce .350 tip stiff! . What is happening? I am at a loss as to why this club, which I was very eager to try out, is sending the golf ball nearly vertical?!?!
