I couldn't disagree more - on both fronts.

If I give you a 6° driver, then I give you a 16° driver, I'll wager my car that you hit the 16° straighter, all other things being equal. Now, that said, I don't think going from a true spec 9 to a true spec 10 is going to drastically change shot shape.

The best driver for a 20 HCP is the one that fits him. If he's got an outside in driver swing, get a closed face, high loft driver. If his launch angle is too shallow, get more loft. If it's too high, drop down.

I'd say tskuller is closer, but still we're ignoring the main thing: Let's check the swing first. Let's make sure path is OK first.

irfani65, you need to tell us what makes you inconsistent. Are you hitting all over the face, or predominantly in one area? What's your standard ball flight? A trajectory mat will give you your launch angle (a launch monitor will, too). I'll assume that you're in for probably a totally new driver, if you're going to change.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
