Comparable Drivers (Edge Tour)

[Travtex]

Still on my Driver Shopping Quest. Thus far, I've hit two that have been in the Solid, Straight, and Consistent camp... at least as far as the launch monitor has told me.

The best by far I hit just today (Hence a thread). Now, I'm not normally a fan of EITHER of the afore-mentioned two drivers, but... hey, if it works I don't care what idiot has stamped his name on the thing.

#1 Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5* (Stiff). This thing I loved to the degree that I was vaguely tempted to ignore the price tag. A dozen balls hit on the monitor... Sitting at about a 15* launch, Mid-90's CHS, Mid 130's BS... about 220-230 carry and 240-250 distance. 5 yard draw down the middle. Impact tape had me only hitting one outlier on the sweet spot 256, the rest were about a half-inch up and in toward the heel. I really liked the smaller head at address -- Sales dude said 430cc, reviews said anywhere from 430-450cc. Either way, it's smaller. Whatever, I liked it.

Other driver was a TM R7 SuperQuad 9.0. Similar numbers, though not quite as consistent. Now, I'm really not in a place where I can drop 300 on a golf club, though I loved the DE Tour (They had to go and sweeten the deal by offering a 150 dollar camera, but... value aside, I STILL don't need to be dropping 300 bucks. I just moved and haven't gotten the new job paycheck, yet. *hah*)

What would be some comparable drivers in older models? I think the only differences with the 'Tour' model is that the face is a degree open, and it's a bit smaller than today's monster 460cc drivers.

Any Taylormade TP version is smaller.... or you wanna use my driver Ping G5, it's 460cc but has a smaller head.
