draw or fade bias drivers, how to fit with your pattern?

[niblick1]

I am looking at getting a new driver. I hit the ball decently. Probably average carry with current driver is in the 260-265 range unless I really nail it and I am single digit handicap player.

I have been working on Soft Draw pattern. I was reading about Taylormade Tour Burner drivers (prices just dropped) and how std. Tour Burner driver has a slight draw bias and how the TP version has a slight fade bias. Is it obvious that if you are playing a slight draw you shouldn't buy a fade driver? Is this something you just have to experiment with and will vary from person to person? Are most drivers G10, Taylor made, etc sold with draw bias to help slicers (my misses have always been left since I was a kid)?

Maybe the obvious answer is find something really neutral? How do I find out which drivers are really set-up up without bias?

Nothing of value to really add, but I am interested in the answers to your questions, especially fade/draw/neutral driver one.

Brian has said that G10s are set up neutral, also, many drivers now will say "neutral" on them if that is how they are set up, Most "tour" drivers are going to be fade, or slightly open.
However, and this is what your going to hear from most everyone... Get fit... and Ill let Jim chime in on that, because I have discussed this with him before.
