Swing change

Many of you have given me help here and for the most part the suggestions have helped.
Now,today I found my own help while trying to fix my pull.I made a very slow deliberate back swing and this has worked wonders.I now hit high shot with my driver that are straight.Tried it with my other clubs also and I think it is going to help overall.Here is the thing;I am hitting the ball a little to high with the driver .Have a 10.5* loft and usually have trouble getting the ball up.Do I start looking for a lower lofted driver now or wait and try to adjust my swing to hit it lower?I really like this new swing as I can really wind up and un load.
Thanks in advance.

you could always try teeing it down a little further..and if you still hit it high when you have it teed lower it means your hitting down with your driver which is not the way to go

So if I tee it lower I should hit it lower if I'm not hitting down on it?

What do you mean by a little too high? Are you popping the ball up, and losing distance?

After just one practice session with the new swing, I would recommend that you do not start shopping for a new lower lofted driver. You shouldn't even be thinking about that yet, especially if you have had trouble getting the ball up. Also 10.5* loft is not that high...

No,no not poping it up.Hitting it 225 with very little run.Just feel it would go farther if it wasn't quite so high.

225 carry straight is pretty good. I cannot tell from here what is causing the high ball flight, but decipher's tee-height experiment is a good way to continue your quest.
