I've been using a Japan spec TM R5 9.5 deg. w/ stock MAS2 stiff flex for a year. Its a very forgiving club and enjoyable to hit.
Also have a Tammron FireHawk 10 deg w/ YS-5 R flex just for practicing in driving range.

I guess I am way in left field I guess no one plays my driver but me.
Cobra 464 Comp 9 degree stiff
I have been trying forever to get over 300 yards and have never succeeded until this driver. I even manage to keep in the fairway most of the time except for the times I leave it open.
I guess that is why there is so many different drivers because we all defiantly do not have the same swing.

Cleveland Launcher 460 Comp Grafolly Blue Pro-Launch Shaft
TM R580 Stock Shaft
I like them both equally well, however might go back to my R580 and put a new shaft in it. Possibly the Diamana?

I play a Tourstage X-drive 405 with a daiwa/seiko prototype shaft in it right now. It is usually a GD Tour-AD.
I like the clubhead because of the size and performance. I started way back with a Cleveland 400 tour. Then I switched around and ended up with a Cleveland Comp tour. I liked it but it was way too big and had problems with the right side because the club was too dang big. Then I hit the X-drive, perfect size at 405cc, and I get the ball flight I have been looking for.

TM R7 tour 8.5 with Aldila VS Proto 80 X. Looks great and feels great. The TM van put some goo in the head that deadens the sound. This shaft is freaking awesome too.

Nakashima 460 10.5*, square, cotton filled to 204.8g
Accra Tour 70 M3 tipped to high flex point
Balance Certified #1
Shaft was installed by authorized Accra dealer to utter perfection. Tip is alittle soft in M3 but the tipping firmed it up to allow more predictable results with harder swings.
The cotton muted the metallic clang and added some needed weight, evenly distributed thru the head.

Nike Ignite. 410cc 10.5* with a Grafalloy Blue S shaft, tipped 1/2" and playing at 44 1/2"..
Love it. Hits a really high ball, but not a ballooning flight. Not as long as my old Titleist 975J.VS, but really easy to hit straight, and, surprisingly for a big driver in my hands, able to draw a ball...

During the last 1 1/2 months I've been bouncing back and forth between two drivers:
Cobra XX Speed 8.5 with an X Fujikura Vista Tour 65
Callaway X-460 8.5 with an X NV 65
Marginally prefer the Cobra to date--slightly longer but very comparable in all other areas.

Titleist 905S 8.5° opened up 2° to play about 6.5°.
Shaft is a POS Aldila NV 75S fully inserted and tipped out to play X or so. I really want to get a Diamana or a Fuji when I get the 460cc Titleist next summer. Then again i am saving for a car...

Why: I have not found a driver with better combination of Feel, Distance and Forgiveness than the 905R... After 6 months in play I bought....another 905R (just in case anything happens to the gamer)
Have a great game.

just kidding
i game a nike sumo 10.5 with a grafalloy epic 68-x
why? head: to me it sets up pretty nice, dont mind the powerbow in the back, and the rep gave me a good deal on it
shaft: i play this one because ive literally tried all kinds of shaft combos (working at a golf store) and this one gives me that perfect balance of workability and forgiveness. plus the high 290 carry with the extra 20+yard roll isnt to shabby
i also play the golf pride velvet cord b/c it counteracts the really sweaty hands that i get

FT-3 10deg draw with Fuji Rombax 6X07 stiff, 44.5'' - simple bomber setup. I can't seem to kick this thing out, when my swing is on I haven't found anything longer. Decent forgiveness too on sweet spot misses and swing error.
FT-i 9deg draw with Ozik X-Con 5 firm, 45.75'' (gonna bring it down to 45'') - Very Straight, but also very very High and shorter then the FT-3 setup. Forgiving on off center hits, but swing error (which I have plenty of) seems to be punished pretty bad.
There is a battle in my bag right now for which driver to play, been playing my FT-3 for quite sometime now, and my FT-i didn't last very long even after going thru a fitting for it. But for some reason after not touching it for a month I've been able to hit my FT-i decently and it might be closing in on my FT-3 distance. Right now I'm carrying both either alternating driving holes or using 1 for the the front 9 then switching to the other on the back.
Maybe I should just sell both and get a FT-5 ---- damn this place, it's made me such a ho.

Titleist 983K 9.5* Fujikura Speeder Stiff
Titelist 905R 9.5* GBD YS-6 Stiff
The Speeder is my primary driver. The 983K has been the most consistant and solid driver I've ever played. The sound and feel when it's hit in the screws is uncomparable. I also think distance wise it keeps up nicely against today's 460 cc cannons and is fairly forgiving for it's 365 cc head.
9/16 edit- Picked up the 905R today and hope I will like it as well as the 983K. I have been contemplating this for months and just took the leap.

I must have had 4 or 5 different drivers in my bag only this year. (Golf equipement neurosis has been very active.)
Currently I'm playing a Wilson Staff Dd6 w. Grafalloy ProLaunch stiff. I think the thing is great, but my swing has been off most of the summer. On my decent swings though the ball goes straight as an arrow.

STARTER - r7 Quad TP 9.5* - Harrison PRO 2.5 X ( Tipped 1.5" )
*Weighting from Toe to Heel - 14,10,2,2* Set it up this way to counteract my draw. Basically, I'm very straight off the tee, to a hardly noticable draw. I'm still able to draw the ball, even with it set up for a fade. I'd say it sits about .5*open at address.
BACKUP - R510 TP 9.5* - Fujikura TOUR SPEC SPD-660TR XX. This shaft was originally in my r7, but I didn't like that combo. I may send this driver to Mr.Kwok to work some magic on it. I was thinking of getting it bent about 3* open. I get too much draw with it for my liking, hence the wanting to open the face up a few degrees. The shaft feels much better in this head for some reason. I'd say it sits pretty much dead square at address.
Phil.

I an currently using a Nike SQ tour with 9.5 degree's of loft , i bought it from a friend as the head only and shafted it with a Pro force 65 shaft with regular flex at a length of 43 3/4 , i like this club because for me it's a anti - left club and i average about 240 to 255 in distance , i am not all that concerned about the distance but as long as keep from hitting it left it will stay in the bag

TaylorMade R7 Quad HT 11.5* Stock Stiff Shaft.
I play it because I find the smaller head (400cc) very pleasing at address. I only started a few years ago and the last time I looked at a golf club was a Big Bertha Warbird (185cc) so the 460cc head really gave me an awkward feeling at address. And the R7 was only $149 which at the time was exactly in my preferred price range.

Went back to my trusty 983k 9.5* with YS - 6 S today after a few weeks off. Much easier to manipulate the head and ball flight than my 460s with the Superquad being runner up. Will put the Titleist back in the bag for a while.

BurnerTP. It's high launch, low spin and my carry and overall are longer than every other driver I've had. Also the face is slightly open, I like to hit a slight fade and this helps eliminate the left side. It's definitely showing, hitting fw's deeper and more often.

R510TP with Aldila NVS 65 in Stiff flex. It sets up square to open, feels like a driver should to me, and has the correct shaft for my ball flight.
It replaced an R7 Quad TP that felt a bit tinny and was sold quickly after I finally got to a launch monitor recently and the R7 yielded consistant launch angles less than 6*. A bit much even with the wind here in Texas. My personal record was a 2.7* launch that carried 214.

Cobra Speed Pro D, 8.5 degrees bent a degree open, Aldila ProtoPYPE 70-x shaft, at 45.25 inches, spined to draw.
The head is heavy, and this thing swings like a sledge hammer.... tight dispersion, long flat ball flight and low spin.... what the heck could you ask for... it carries long and bounces an additional 15-50 yards depending on the playing surface.
When you hit it, you can almost feel the ball compress and explode off the face.
I think it is all the shaft though, because I had a BlueBoard 73x in the head, and hit a number of higher lazier shots.
Once I switched to the PYPE, I have been booming them.
