| I read somewhere (it may be in "The Search for the Perfect Driver" by Wishon) that the sweet spot has a loft as stated but just above the sweet spot the loft is higher. The effective loft will also depend where you set up the driver - For a right handed golfer, to the left would add loft and to the right would decrease loft.
In that Golf Digest? Magazine article it mentioned who would have better success with a higher loft (those who sweep) versus those who hit down upon it.
I have a 10.5* that I was struggling with it and a 12* driver. Same problem was occurring - I was pulling the shots. I changed my setup (I point my left arm out with my set up making sure that my arm is parallel to where the club face is aligned - I was pointing to the right of the target - which was why I couldn't translate my success on the driving range to the course) and noticed my shots going straight when I set up for a straight shot.
I gave my 12* away since I didn't like the higher ball flight. It seemed to be a bit shorter (5-10 yards) than the 10.5*. Upgrading to an 11* would not change anything for me.
