thanks guys.

-ball flight is straight, maybe slight draw

-current loft is set to 9.5 on the D3

attack angle lloked good on trackman so don't appear to be hitting down, at least not too much

I would first try taking the loft down to 9 or even a bit lower and see how it performs. You should be able to tell if your spin rate comes down just by the trajectory of the ball after you knock the loft down a bit. The heaver shaft should also lower your spin rate a bit, but if you can achieve the same thing with a quick adjustment, I'd go that route.

Need aoa and smash factor to help determine what would work best. 3800 is a little high so even a heavier shaft might not do it. Might get better results with a different head and settings. A shaft won't take you down from 3800 to 3000

It looks like that shaft has a low torque already so may be you should try the heavier shaft since your swing speed is up there.

What loft are you currently using?

Are you hitting a draw or a cut? How much is the ball turning?

Make sure you hitting up on the ball. Trackman measures this attack angle. Hitting down with a driver results in excessive spin. If you keep the same downward attack angle, more loft on the driver is needed.

I'm also considering a lower flight stiff shaft.. Aldila RIP 60 S. The numbers on that were really good, just a little too low of flight. Figured I could just crank the loft a bit and be good to go. Any suggestions welcome...
