Anyone using a "thriver" or other unconventional driver?

I did actually say that initially, then opened your link and backtracked a bit. Clearly the club represented in that link is not a fairway wood.

I've tried 10°, 10.5°, 11°, 12°, and 13.5° drivers and found I get the best distance, roll, and accuracy with the 12° head.  Now, if I could just convince my brother to ditch his 9° (and his John Daly back swing) and try a 10.5° or an 11°....  I'm sure he would have more fun playing his second shot from the short grass.  But his ego definitely has the best of him, "I'm not gonna play a f*&$(&*@ 11° driver!"  Sigh....

my swing speed is 88 mph & still, I have the best luck with my wife's driver (I've owned a bunch of top dollar mens drivers).   Its because it's 3" shorter - have so much more confidence in the shorter driver & making the fairways.      I will be cutting down my K15 soon & will report back ...
