I ordered it two weeks ago and I'm picking it up today. I haven't even hit it yet but anything that is "supposed" to help it go straight off the tee is worth it...
In my Ping Pioneer LC bag -
Driver: TaylorMade R11 10* closed
3 Wood: TaylorMade R11 15* open
Hybrid: Ping G15 20*
Irons: Ping G15 4, i15 5 - PWWedges: Ping Tour S 50*, 56* bent to 55*, 60*Putter: TaylorMade Daytona Ghost 34"

we got them in today. The sound is still very very loud! I thought that NIKE might dampen the sound, but it was the same loud clank from when I tried it out a while back.

I took it out in the frigid morning and hit about 10 shots. It definitely works as advertised. long and straight. A number of customers around me complained that it was too loud and obnoxious. I would certainly agree on the sound.

This driver is going to be right up there with all of its competitors this year. I demoed this driver at golf galaxy and it suprised me. I'll admit, I didn't want to like this driver, I hoped the square drivers were a flop. They aren't. This driver takes whatever curvature you put on the ball and minimizes it. For me, over hooking the ball has been a problem and this driver took my nasty hook and turned it into a slight draw. Another factor to look into when considering this driver is, you can get an Aldila Vs Proto or a UST V2 shaft standard. This might be the new shape of golf.

Driver: Speed Pro D 9.5*

      I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.

      I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
