Also make sure you creating true launch angle with your driver. If you do not have enough loft and you have to create it, you can see some high spin numbers, check the side spin numbers to verify.
This is the 'straight skinny' from one who knows. Please, no threadjack responses here, but go to http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...0260#post40260 and post regarding Jeff's accomplishment today!

Listening to the Video where Brian tests which ball to use, some questions arises.

With his driver, his stats are 13-14 launch, around 2800 spin and around 150-155 in ballspeed.

Is this optimal?
Which distance will this produce?
What loft/shafteweight/flex does he use?
Hitting the ball before low point"should" produce more spin......or not? and how does that comply with the above stats?

JEFF!!! where are you man?

Check this out. I believe that these are optimal numbers for a given clubhead speed.
