How is the most appropriate loft for a driver determined?
The standard loft for a driver is 11°. The more loft, the more carry and less roll will result. The less loft, the less carry and more roll. You will discover that the better the fairways are maintained the more carry is necessary. Harder fairways require less loft because more roll is possible. Keep in mind that the lower the loft the harder it will be to compress the golf ball, which means that some distance can be lost because the ball will leave the club face with less velocity.
