I got fit for a driver at Dick’s sporting goods a good while ago, just outside Sarasota. A guy name Chet. He looks at me and says you need an m5 TaylorMade driver with an extra stiff shaft. 
I said “I do?” 
he says “yup”…

the rest is history. 

Later I found out he didn’t even work there.

Ah yes, I remember those youthful days when I'd get maybe 6 months out of a driver before caving it in, but never had a set-up quite like that Thor's Hammer you describe.

Superfast 2.0 9.5* still in the bag(white color). This model is from 2011 or 2012. I think it plays at around 47 inches. I have tried many since this Driver came out and nothing beats this. Is the face on this the largest vertical face made? I like that in a driver as I can tee it higher and it goes longer. Any one out there know about any driver that is comparable in vertical size of driver face?

I had both the r7 and the r7 425, but the best Taylormade driver I’ve ever had was the r7 superquad. Long and straight for me. Stupidly swapped out to an ft-iq which I binned after 6 months. Never been as comfortable with a driver since the superquad left me.

A few years ago I had a M3 440 that I hit extremely well. But of course being a ho I got rid of it thinking I needed more forgiveness. A few weeks ago I came across one in mint condition that I couldn’t resist. Took it out last weekend and remembered why I liked it so much. For some reason for my swing I find it very forgiving, almost shockingly so. It is probably the best driver I’ve ever had that hides my toe miss so well. I hit a couple balls so far off the toe that I almost felt embarrassed, but looked up and they were flying right down the middle.

it was ugly and harsh, but the SLDR was a bomber and a bit of a breakthrough for that era.

And it dramatically expanded the conversation among non-pro golfers about importance of spin.
