Mike, do you think i should stay away from the TP @ $175ish?? I didnt want to commit to the draw club sinse i was hoping to correct my swing, not swing poorly with a different club. On the TP i could really set the club up to be either D or N. Thats why it seemed to be worth the extra $25 to me. I just dont want to buy a tour club if they are "harder to hit" or if there is another reason a high capper should avoid them. Thanks for your opinions & information!

Thanks for the reply Lamenbums. On the stiffness...I almost felt i was swinging harder than i normally do at the golf shop, I ranged from about 95-98mph, but i think i was trying to kill the ball in there.. I would like to swing easier and hit the ball longer (yeah, doesnt everyone...) Do you think i should be looking at a R flex instead of a S. Im about 6-3 280ish (+ or -) Im not really sure what difference it makes? I also want something that would last as my game (hopefully) improves. Thanks

Hello, im a about a 29-30 capper and in the market for a new driver. Im very interested in the Taylormade R5 series to correct at times a nice fade to nasty slice. I typically line up down the left rough and on a good shot i will fade into the fairway, on a bad one, im looking way right. I have read alot about the TM R5 dual and have decided to get one. Since they are no longer made i have looked to ebay and have found that i can get a new R5 TP for about 30-40$ more than a R5 Dual. When new, the TP model was around $600, As a big capper should i bother with the TP model? I have read that it is set up the same as a R5 dual (N) but gives you moveable weights and a nicer shaft. My thinking is, i dont want to buy the R5 Draw model, and am worried that the R5 Neutral model may not be enough? I would think the TP, which comes set up as a neutral, would be nice and if im still slicing, i could modify the weights. Any opinions on this club? Should a high capper stay away from TP Clubs? Im thinking 9.5 with a stif flex (swing around 95-100), but im a pretty big guy and the golf store said to be safe i should go with a stiff. They also said as i get more confortable on the Tee, my swing will speed up a few mph. Any thoughts? Thanks edit FYI on ebay New R5 Dual Approx $150 New R5 Dual TP Approx $175

Im an engineer, its about as exciting as slicing my driver into the woods...

I grew up hearing Arnold Palmer stories since i am from western PA, but i cant imagine watching anyone play like tiger is playing now.
