Tensei AV Blue Too High Launch?

[Ultimate Junior Golfer]

I just received a new TS3 driver that I had been fit for with a Tensei AV Blue shaft in stiff flex. However, now when I hit a good shot the ball goes way too high, about 100 feet. I swing my driver around 97-100mph with a launch angle of 16. Could the shaft be too soft?

Peak height of 100 feet is not too high.  That's just about ideal.   Launch angle is slightly high, but that is more likely the delivery of the club vs the shaft.  Also what loft is the driver. 

A good fitter would be able to tell you for sure.

What is the spin rate and landing angle 

I swing around 112 and I peak height around 120 ft with optimal numbers

Spinning around 3500, which is way too high for me. Descent angle is around 45 degrees.

16 launch and 3500 isn't a shaft problem, it's a loft problem. 

You should loft down by at least a degree, likely 2. That will drop launch and spin into a better window

Yeah your spin/launch combination is way too high. If it’s landing at 45 with that much spin, you’re probably losing a yard or two from it backing up on impact. Just an FYI ad 45 degree landing angle is great for a 7 iron. I would start with loft, but you might have a shaft issue as well.

Shafts atually do have less impact on spin as one would think. Clubhead and ball will cause significant changes (in case you play Pro V1x try ProV1 or even AVX). Besides what the others already wrote, you should also check your angle of attack. In case you are hitting down on the ball, your spinloft is far too high (which can be reduced by changing the loft...but with around 100 mph you should hit up on the ball 3-4 degrees [Trackman] anyway).
