sdandrea1 Question for you, Steve (although I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on this).
I don't know your game (i.e., what your SS is, how far you hit the ball, etc. -- maybe I should read your posts closer. π), but everything you are saying seems to point to a bit lower swing speed. I am wondering, then, if you have ever tried a higher lofted driver and, if so, what your experience was with it/them.
I have always understood that a lower SS player will hit a 12, 14, or even 16 degree driver longer and with more control than a lower lofted driver (like a 10.5?). What has your experience been, considering that you have probably hit a lot of different drivers? I'm sure you settled on the 10.5 Titleist for a reason, which brings the wisdom of the higher lofted driver into question.
