Driver search

Me and some friends of the golf team want to buy a gift for a good friend , we thought a driver would be a good idea, to replace his old Titleist 975j. He uses the driver really well, and is very strong , so we thought of a heavier shaft ( he has a EI 70 ). I found on ebay a Ignite 460 with diamana 83 selling for 310$, and a R5 TP with diamana 83 for 450$. Both are new ( i won't offer a used thing ). Which one is best, as the last Taylormade driver i had was a R540, and i only hit a R7 with a stock shaft, so i don't have no idea of what it can be. Neither for the Nike, never hit a Nike Driver on a course. As they have the same shaft set on it, which one would you take? I need to buy it before Wednesday. Thank You

The Nike with the Diamana is an excellent combination. It's good enough for Tiger. I have an Ignite/Accra T60 combinations and have NEVER hit a better driver.

Okay 1 for Ignite 0 for Taylormade.

Personally, no contest. I would go with the R5 TP. I had this, and it was the best driver i have ever hit, i know the Diamana would only make it that much better. I personally didn't like the Nike Ignite, found the head to be too bulky. Would strongly suggest the R5 TP, unless you are gonna buy a "Tour" head, go with the R5 TP, has tested as the best "retail" head on the market for ball speed!!

Yes we think he wants a 460, personally i won't hit a driver over 400. I'll think about it then. Thanks. I need another suggestion to know which one is the best.
