When I made my last driver purchase, it ultimately came down to this driver and the 983K in which I chose the 983K.

The main thing I like about this driver is I think the head size is perfect. I rate the 983K 4 stars (Birdie) mainly because I wish that driver were 390 cc's like this one. I find the head size gives me great confidence and I don't think I ever hit a shot off of the toe or a sky with this driver. The head size also isn't too big like the 580XD. I think 390 cc's is the perfect head size for a driver.

It was actually a close call between the 983K and the 510 TP but ultimately, I chose the 983K because I got a little more distance. I am a fade hitter and hit a pretty consistent fade with the 510 TP. All in all, I think the 510 TP is a great driver and would definitely recommend it.
if you like the 983k driver so much i think you should try the taylor made r7ht. i had been usind the standard r7 tp driving until last week taylor made sent me a r7 tp(shallow faced) driver. i believe it is similar to the ht, although taylor made will not release the ht in a tp version like the stnd. r7 was. at this time i only know it has been released to us taylor made players. what i noticed was the face on my r7 tp (shallow face) just like the r7 ht is very similar to that of the 983k if not almost exact. i really think you should give the r7 ht a swing. i never though i would ever take my r510tp out of the bag last mach until TM sent me sent me the r7 tp's to replace them, & just when i never though id take my r7 tp out of my bag this new shallow faced r7 tp has given me added workability & more forgiveness. but let me tell you that i dont talk up taylor made because i play there equipment on tour, i do have 2 of the new 905s drivers that i wanted to try out but they dont come close to the r7.
