$50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic. -

Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian." -

There is no dispersion data presented but based on your average smash factor, I would guess that you're hitting the ball pretty much in the middle of the face, or pretty darn close to it. If that's the case I might suggest the Titleist GT3. It's not quite as forgiving as the TSR2 but if you hit the ball in the center of the face, as you seem to be doing, you'll feel the ball absolutely explode off the tee. (That's what I feel anyway with my TSR3.) I also think you might be launching the ball too high. There's an optimal launch/spin chart on the Titleist website that you should look at. You might want to dial down your hosel setting on your driver from A1 to D1 for example.
