The club face is quite short. I don't have the measurement here with me, but it is a 230cc head that is kinda short and squatty. I might indeed be hitting it high on the face, but truly, there's not a lot of room for error. I'm not hitting it of the top edge, that much I know, but I haven't used the carbon stickers to see where exactly I'm hitting it. I take a look at that next time. Thanks for your input.

>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 ! thi!
