Desperately seeking something better

I have an illness: I can't stop buying drivers on eBay. If I see a great deal I can't help myself. I'm really sick. No kidding. I've bought a bunch of Titleists, Pings, Cobras, Taylor-Mades, you name it. I'm too embarrassed to tell you how many I've bought over the years. I wait a year+ for those new $399 drivers to sell used for around $100 and I scarf one up. If I like the newly purchased club better than what's in my bag then it becomes my new driver. This process was all going along just fine until I bought a Cobra Speed LD two+ years ago. Now, no matter what I buy, the Cobra ends-up staying in my bag. It's stuck there. Nothing I've bought since can beat it, and believe me I've tried. It did leave my bag for about a month once when my son, who is on his school's golf team, tried it out then promptly stole it, forcing me to play with a different driver. After two rounds I bought another Speed LD on eBay. I had no choice. So what's so good about a Speed LD? When the club head contacts the ball it gives me that buttery feeling, like I've just hit the exact sweet spot and the ball has just taken off at the speed of sound. It's so consistent, I guess the sweet spot must be enormous. In comparison it makes all other drivers seem like their head is cracked and this has really screwed up my new driver culling process. It's even got me feeling like an idiot now every time I buy a new (used) driver, because the new purchase ends up being in vain. In fact, if I had any cotrol over my addiction to trying new drivers then I'd stop, because the enjoyment is essentially gone. If, like me, you like switching drivers often, then don't buy a Speed LD. It ruins everything.
