I feel somewhat bad that you got an xtreme, I love them personally and I have 2 in the bag, but they are so beefy that they barely fly, it's more of a weird mid-range that wants to be a fairway driver. As for good mids, I'm a fan of the drone, it's very overstable with, what I feel, is a more comfortable rim than other overstable mids like the gator.

Also has more glide than the gator, won't just die and fall.

I just picked up a Lat. 64 Gold Line Villain to replace an Eco STAR Xcaliber that I lost. Very similar flight characteristics so it should be interesting to see how it compares. Haven't thrown it yet.

unless you're a power thrower, than I'd recommend the vulcan.

Don't think anyone has mentioned my favorite overstable driver for most forehand shots and for headwind backhands:

MAX!
