I will try and make this brief. Some years back I went to Golfsmith's Harvey Penick Club Fitting School. Lead instructors were Tom Wishon and Brett Lindsay. Awesome school but on to my story. One exercise was we went to the their driving range to test lofts of clubs. We were broken up into groups of 3. We were given identical drivers but they had different lofts. 8 - 10 -12. We were asked to each hit 5 shots with each driver and the other two would watch and confirm which driver worked best for each of us. One older fellow in our group hit the 8* the best. The other two of us (experienced clubmakers/fitters were quite surprised with the results. Not a loft either of us would have fit him into. Brett said pay attention to his swing. He has a reverse weight shift as in fall back and fire thus the lower loft works best for him. This was before launch monitors, etc.
Bottom line is do not get hung up on the loft especially with modern swing analyzers. Try different loft drivers from lowest to the highest that they have before you decide.
