These drivers are really a personal choice, but here are some of my considerations.

In SA mode, I don't like a driver with a 1 or 2 degree closed face. I like a driver with a .5 closed face, which is basically neutral. Most Integra drivers are closed 1 degree.

I, also, like kind of a normal bulge/roll head like on the Taylor Made 300 or the Titleist clubs. The TM 300 pr 320 is quite nice. I don't like heads any larger than 360 for SA, and prefer 300.

My swing speed is the same as yours, and I don't like the Pro 65 shaft because it is too stiff.

If you are looking at a club you can assemble, Hireko has a .5 degree head (neutral; not closed) in about 8.5 loft that is superb, and they have an in-house shaft that is super superb for $16 (graphite; lightweight). Can't remember the model name, but if you get serious, send e-mail and I'll check it out.

Watch the swingweight if you use Big Grip grips, as you will have to be about 45.5 inches to maintain a D2 swingweight.

Personally, I like a 44 inch driver, and experimented with some light steel shafts,(if you go steel you can use a shorter club for the same swingweight) and was pleasantly surprised. My next driver will probably have light steel.

I think Dynacraft makes a TM kind of club, but I don't know anybody who has tried it. Also, be aware that Dynacraft makes an exceptional set of small, cavity back clubs that are perfect for SA, and they come in 2 and 3 degree upright, without bending...they are made that way. I have bent clubs in the past, and would never mess around with that procedure again...too much monkey business.

Did you notice on e-bay those irons sets at $99. That seems like a good price, but watch the loft and lie situation. Some have said that they are normal in configuration...most need upright, up to four degrees. Mine are 3 degrees. Watch this too. I line up to the ball at 4 degrees up, but swing into the ball at 3 degrees up, as evinced on tape attached to sole of club.

That berrilyum three wood on e-bay is nice.
Hope these experiences can help you.
