That is a very difficult question to answer without some additional information. 
Do you like your current driver?
Is the head in good shape?
How/why did the shaft break?
Were you fit for your current driver? Does it still fit you?

Over all I'm a fan of shiny things, so I always like new clubs.

Having said that, you can normally get replacement shafts for drivers relatively inexpensively on ebay these days. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yes

Yes

How/why did the shaft break?

I have no idea why it broke.  It broke at the handle, was a clean strike and everything,.

Were you fit for your current driver? Does it still fit you?

I got a static fitting, not dynamic. Don't know, but worth investigating

I would never dissuade somebody from buying a new "shiny thing". But if it were me, I'd probably replace the shaft. I'm assuming your driver has an adjustable neck. Which means the shaft is likely out there on Ebay someplace.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
