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.
