I picked this driver up a when I first started hitting a driver as I got better. My worst shot is a big slice off 5he tee and this club really helped to sort it and I hit it fairly straight now. I tried changing to a superfast 2.0 which was awful and now a cobra fly-z which is ok but I'm still getting some slices even on a draw setting, going back to the r5 and its all quite straight again. 

Should I just stick with the r5?  I only play for fun and society, I'm not sure it's a conforming club so would I have issues if I played say a club medal?  

Am I missing out on new technology by sticking with it?

Anyone made the change from this driver to another and been successful?

I would recommend finding a local golf store and trying a few of the newer ones.  Anything in the past 2-4 years should definitely be more forgiving.  I would also check the length of your R5 vs the newer ones.  If you are hitting the R5 straighter than it is probably due to it being a little bit shorter.  In the strive to allow golfers to hit it longer a lot of manufacturer's are making the clubs longer.  This does have the desired effect of increasing swing speeds, but sometimes at the expense of control.  A way to check this when trying some of the newer ones is to choke down an inch or so and see if this helps.  Good Luck and have fun!
