Driver suggestions.....

Square to open faces?

I need a suggestion on a new driver to demo. I thought I was going to get a Titleist 905S 8.5 with a Graffaloy Blue Stiff shaft but I pulled a lot of my drives and was inconsistent with it when I demoed it. The face also looked a little closed. My normal ball flight is straight to a slight draw. My swing speed is around 120. I currently have a Titleist 975J 7.5 with a Graffaloy Prolite 35 in it and am long and fairly consistent with it. I would just like something with a bigger head size (400+), and a square to slightly open face. Anybody have any ideas?

Be careful, per the Callaway website, the FT-3 Tour is .5 closed, not .5 open, like the previous Fusion and ProSeries models. It is very difficult to design clubheads over 400cc, with open faces, since it is more difficult to square them at impact. If $$ allow for it, the R7 TP sets up pretty square.

I was going to say the same thing. The comp seems perfectly square. Also the TP Taylor made 510df and R7's look square to me. Not sure about the R5 Tp.

The r7 definitely sits square. Trust me. I have one. I have mine on stardard (high straight) never changed them around. I love the feel, distance, forgiveness (when you need it) but most of all the workability.

Another option would be the Tourstage X Drive 405.

My 905T is square. Also my old Ignite was measured at 1* open at address. Other notables are the Cleveland Comp as mentioned before and Mizuno MP001

Also give the Ping G2 a look, as a man with a draw that can get out of hand I feel like i can't hit a driver that sits closed at all and haven't had a problem with the G2 yet. You could also look at getting a tour issued r510TP off ebay for pretty good price, I have one as a backup and it sits wide open.
