I have the R5 N as well. To respond to all the posts at once:

- the R5 D WILL NOT FIX YOUR SLICE. Period. No club will.

- I have an 8.5 and still hit it very high. I'm tall (6'3), maybe that has something to do with it?

- I think you SHOULD use a really high tee - with today's drivers, you should be hitting the ball up high on the clubface to get the most out of the club.

And I also think this thing is absolutely awesome. TaylorMade makes the best drivers, hands down.
