drivers for a newbie

[emon87]

I currently have a set of clubs that I was given by my uncle. The set is very nice, except for the fact that I was given a 7.5 degree loft driver (WTF I know). Of course, I can't hit the driver at all. I've been using it for the past couple of years and just dealing with it because I don't golf that much and wasn't that good at any part of golf anyway. Now I've gotten kinda decent at golf, so I want to get a new driver probably 10 or 10.5 degree loft.

I'm looking for suggestions of a good driver I could get that isn't the current year model, so that I can get a good deal on it. I'm not really sure how much I am willing to spend, because I haven't researched how much a solid driver would cost. I don't need top of the line/highest priced. What should I look at?

Thanks.
