Hum... anyway... I stuck some lead tapes to the bottom of my 10.5 true loft driver to close it 1-2 deg .. so it should end up 9.5-8.5 range.
Anyway, I am hitting way too high so it might be a nice thing.
Edit: Could be another thing though... I read a Tom Wishon post that Especially for woods, if you play with a too flexible shaft, its going to Droop too much downwards during impact thus skying the shots, I did notice that the impact is On top and closer to toe, usually 3/4 of ball below the crown and man the ball sky! And irons are much less likely to Droop down because its much stiffer and more flexible my irons is 1/2 inch shorter than std and stiffer than std. It could be that I become alot more efficient that the lag is much better.( maybe .. i wish).. Man.. Golf is tough.
I have this exact same problem with 3 hybrid , and the s300 i put in feels pretty soft for some reasons though it is hardstepped once.
Now i dont know its my swing or my golf club ...

You need a driver in the 8.5-9.5 true loft range. You need a minimum of a 70g shaft with a very stiff tip and you roughly need .5-2* closed face.
Just my experience in fitting hitters.
If the average player produces ball speeds in the 130-140mph range and at that speed the optimal launch angle should be around 13-14 degrees how do you get a heavy, stiff tip driver at 8.5 degrees of loft airborne without some compensations?
I am not being critical but I think that these are fairly strong suggestions without knowing the player. I just want caution in prescribing because before you know it ALL hitters would feel that this is what they need. I have fit hitters in lofts ranging from 8.5 to 16 depending on their motion and their launch angles.
You have gotten the real deal from the knowlegeable above, but I saw something at the range earlier which reminded me of your question.
Check that you are fully committing your right shoulder downPLANE.
The guy at the range was doing what you pointed out. Pulling, then Hitting at the bottom. It looked somewhat OK from the 10-5-A visual "angle", but when I moved over to 10-5-E visual "angle", his shoulder was above plane.
An early right arm thrust just added to his woes as the clubface layed back. From that shoulder alignment his Angle of Attack was steep (or is it Approach, I get the visual equivs mixed). It was decidedly worse with the longer clubs.
A number of problems seemed to solve themselves when he did drive the right shoulder with full intention.
