Madandra,
Something else must be going horribly wrong with the rest of your game if you hit it those distances but are still off 11!
Seriously though, I think the key here is to do with performance and distance on mis-hits. Whoever the poster was who said they had an old persimmon head they hit further than anything is suffering from a slight memory lapse I think. I simply don't believe you, otherwise countless tour pros would still be using persimmon. The reason they've all switched is because they're hitting it miles further - check out the tour driving stats to get some idea of how much over the last 25 years.
In the more recent titanium era, the key here is forgiveness and with a larger head more of your mis-hits go further than they would with a smaller head - so on average it may seem you're driving it further, when in fact your best ones aren't much different.
Thank you for listening....
