Tour drivers that have a "deeper" club face - what exactly does that mean? I know they are harder to hit.....

A deep face driver simply means that there is more room up-and-down on the center of the clubface than side-to-side. I prefer a deep face driver because my typical miss is high or low on the face and not heel or toe. I don't know if that is why tour drivers are like that, but that is why I prefer them.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I'm not sure, but I think that deeper drivers are designed to launch the ball with less spin and a lower trajectory.

exactly.

Nearly all drivers are deep faces now.

I was looking at the new TM Deeps TP, and it says it has a deeper clubface, but thats what all the TP versions say.

Are you sure they all say that? Currently all of the TP versions are just the normal version with a better shaft. The Taylor Made SuperDeep is just the SuperTri with a deeper clubface and a better shaft. A deeper clubface is merely taller, but the SuperDeep is also a little shorter front to back than the SuperTri.

I prefer deep-face drivers because they give you a bigger margin of error for tee shots off of chopped up tee boxes. (About half my rounds are on "budget" courses.)

Focus, connect and follow through!

Better players don't miss the ball towards the toe and heel as often as they do up and down on the sweet spot. Look at the current offerings from Titleist over the last few years. Their drivers and fairway woods have been offered in deep-face traditional shape heads as well as shorter-faces and wider heads favoring higher MOIs. Deeper faced clubs with shorter heel-to-toe lengths appeal to different types of players.

The deeper face and traditional shape of clubs such as the 909D2 and SuperDeep can allow engineers to put weight in different places of the head. In a players club with a deeper face, this is typically down higher in the head to reduce spin and promote a certain trajectory that can't always be achieved using a shallow-faced high-MOI club.

I thought the 909 D3 was the one with the deeper face, not the 909 D2!?!?

You are right. The D3 is the deep faced driver.
