Driver Options
I have a TM R5 "Draw" Driver purchased in 2005. Has seen about 350 rounds of golf. I am about an 18 handicap, age 60+ with a swing speed probably between 80-90. My issue is that when I bought this club with my TM set I was a slicer. Over the years with some instruction and grip changes that has gone and now the club is drawing too often although I can still get many good straight drives of 220-240 (good for me). My question is whether I should now buy a "straight" driver and if so what are my options? I'm thinking with a "square" face I can then make the little adjustments necessary rather than regularly resetting the club face to eliminate the "draw" set on my driver. Also concerns about if I go new trying to match the other features in my current driver that I have come to enjoy and feel comfortable with such as swing weight and flex.
Thoughts?"All I need to know about life, I learned from my dog".

I agree with Cleek. The simplest test of this is to go to the range with your driver, warm up with a few, then take 10 balls. Try to hit the same drive with all 10. If at least 7 have pretty much the same flight, your swing is consistent enough that a driver change will have a significant impact. Getting rid of a draw/hook is a much easier swing fix than getting rid of a slice, but it's still a swing fix. I was at the range for an hour working on drives last night after sh-tting the bed bad off the tee last round. All I could hit were duck hooks, and I swing an I15, which is about as anti-pull a driver as you'll find.

Try something with an adjustable head. Lots of great options. R9 Supertri is nice, RBZ is great also. Both can be had for a song.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.
