I think a proper driver shaft fitting is much more important than the type of head. New drivers are all good. Finding the right shaft for your swing is the difficult part.

Different heads will produce different ball speeds with same set ups.

I agree that putting a different shaft in the club you already have is your best option. Even if you have to pay for the fitting process it'll likely be cheaper than a new club, and you'll come out with the shaft that you know is correct for your swing.

I have to say it seems strange to me that the Titleist is getting more votes for a person looking for forgiveness. Every Titleist club I've ever hit has been very nice when you hit it solid, but far from forgiving on mis-hits. Maybe the one listed there is different, but I certainly wouldn't buy it without hitting one first.

bring your driver to your golf store and try out the other drivers you are considering and see what works best for your swing on the launch monitor and budget.

Out of all those, isn't the FT IQ the highest forgiving one (this is based just on the shape of the head.. If it's the str8-fit square head then they are the same).

D2 is definitely the least forgiving. I believe it's also open at address.
