I'm going to go check out drivers at Golf Galaxy tomorrow, and see if anything grabs me.

I want to check out the Ping G15 and TM Superfast TP at a minimum, and see if anything else looks tempting.
I have league on Monday, which is a bummer. Would suck to play without a driver...

Hit Golf Galaxy this morning, and pounded the TM Superfast TP, Ping G15, and Ping I15. The I15 didn't work for me for some reason, but I was hitting both the SFTP and G15 pretty well. The G15 looked and felt a little nicer, but had a tendency to get a little snappy, and I'd hit a big hook left of left. I think this had to do with the shaft, and the slight draw bias of the setup. The SFTP sat slightly open, and seemed to prevent the big hook a little better, and I tended to hit it pretty straight, and it was quite forgiving - nice shaft on that club (Matrix Ozik HD6). Was fighing a bad back due to pulling sod yesterday, so I think that played a factor a bit on my session today, unfortunately.
Ended up going with the TM Superfast TP, for mostly financial reasons (all things being equal, I'm a big fan of Ping drivers). I got $106 in trade-in for my ancient dinged-up original R7 Quad (only good for a new TM purchase), which was awesome. There was also a $50 gift card special for TM drivers, bringing the price down to ~$150. Throw in a couple gift cards, and I didn't spend any money out of pocket - hard to beat that. If it doesn't work out, I should be able to sell it on ebay for more than I paid for it, which is nice.
Playing it tomorrow, so will be interesting to see how it plays...
