Super, super driver--high launch and LONG

I've tried lots of different drivers, including the new Taylor Made Burner which I just sold to a buddy (with the Fuji Tour Platform shaft, no less!). I played the Mizuno MP-001 a several years ago and really liked it, so when I was shopping around for a new stick I thought I'd try this one. It is true that it makes a sort of loud and hollow sound as many of the new, big drivers do (including very expensive ones by Callaway et al, by the way). But who cares, this driver is the longest and straightest I have played. It sets up nice and square--not overly closed like some of the newer 460 drivers--and you can work the ball with it like a player's club if you want. It hits the ball high--the launch angle and hang time is amazing--and is remarkably straight and forgiving. The head seems to be really stable and well-balanced, and the look at address is more traditional than many of the newer drivers--really a sharp club. I have heard mixed news on the the new MP driver regarding forgiveness, and this appears to be an advance on the MX in terms of distance, so if you're interested in Mizuno for a driver, this may be your stick. I play it in the factory issue Exsar 3 shaft in stiff flex, which is a great shaft for me. Mizuno is famous for their irons, but they should be equally well-known for their woods, if this club is any indication.
