Thanks

I went to an advanced fitting center in my area and hit a bucket of balls with both the D2 & D3...they are awesome. I tried out a few different shafts and it seemed that each one performed better than the previous. If you have an advanced fitter in your area, I would highly recommend paying them a visit to hit these before 10/24. You won't regret it.

Fairways & Greens,

Will

I love the 915!!! I am also looking for an advance center where I may demo the club on course. I think I know where and will contact them! The 915 is truly the REAL DEAL! During the #TeamTitleist Fitting, the 915 dropped my spin rate by about 1800 RPM from 4400+ and launch angle is much more optimum for my game at 14-16 degrees thus giving me 25-30 yards! I feel like the 915 will take my game to unchartered territory; the next level! #Titleist !

Cool Breeze,

Can you give us a little more detail on this?  with that kind of RPM drop, I was wondering if you could share a little info.

What are you hitting now? (club, shaft, loft)

What did they fit you with? (club, shaft, loft)

A lot of us are wondering what it will do with the spin rate.  But if it can do that  with a new driver and about the same shaft, then I am really interested.

Thanks,

Joey R

It is great to hear about your early success with the new driver. Not sure which location you were thinking of, but Pine Oaks is an advanced account that is about 15 miles away from you. They have their fitting components but I don't believe they have demos yet to take out on the course. Their number is 508.238.2320 if you want to call and get more details about what they can do for you. Let us know once you are able to take the driver for a spin on the course.

Thanks!

Will

@Will, Titleist Club Concierge

Thanks for the info! I know the guys over at Pine Oaks and they are great! Leigh, Joe, Mark,  John, and Darren are great guys and great will getting you what you need!  I am looking to reach out to them and hopefully something can work out. I love the 915 and wanted pre-order and get it early but didn't want to jump the gun due to sheer excitement! I know the 915 is amazing but I'm one of those crazies that need to see it on course hitting a Pro V1 under normal playing conditions rather than a range ball on a raw rainy day. I'm sure some can relate to this.

Thank you so much for the info Will! This is truly exciting! #Titleist !

@Joey R 

Here are the details and let me know if you have any other questions. I'm more than happy to talk #Titleist !

Can you give us a little more detail on this?  with that kind of RPM drop, I was wondering if you could share a little info.

I am a high launch high spin player.  I started with the D2 and shape did not fit my eye. We went to D3 and immediately agreed with my eye. I was hitting between a heavy stiff shaft to lighter x-stiff shaft. Back and forth between Diamana and Rogue to name just a couple. Hitting the 909, spin rate was 4100-4400 rpm and launch angle was about 18.4-20.1. Hitting the 915, I though the launch monitor was malfunctioning. I asked if this was correct.  I was in amazement!  The 915 numbers were 2200-2650 rpm and launch angle of 14.2-16.5, which is much more optimal for me.  According to the numbers, I gained 25-30 yards with the 915! Adjusting loft a little bit as I have a tendency to add loft at impact, hence I hit a 7.5 degree and the Titleist guys "Oh, yeah that's the one!" It was visually exciting to see that type of ball flight!

What are you hitting now? (club, shaft, loft)

• 909D3 9.5 - Original Diamana Whiteboard Ion Flower Band Stiff, Standard Length, Loft, Lie
• 909 F2 13.5 - Original Diamana Blueboard Stiff, Standard Length, Loft, Lie
• 909 H 19 - UST Mamiya AxivCore 85 Series Black Stiff, Standard Length, Loft, Lie

What did they fit you with? (club, shaft, loft)

• 915 D3 7.5 - Diamana D+ White 80 Stiff - C2 Setting - Loft now plays to 6.75 (Crazy, huh?) and 0.75 upright
• 915 F 15 - Diamana S+ Blue 70 Stiff - A1 Setting
• 915 H 21 - Aldila Rogue Black 85 Stiff - A1 Setting 

A lot of us are wondering what it will do with the spin rate.  But if it can do that  with a new driver and about the same shaft, then I am really interested.

If you are looking to optimize your spin rates and launch, this may be the club for you! I spoke to Titleist guys a few weeks before this fitting and they told me it was the real deal! The Active Recoil Channel, Radial Speed Face, High MOI, and Sure Fit Technologies will get you dialed in! The 915 heads and face are everything that is advertised and more.  Due to the high level or effectiveness from the ARC technology, Titleist made adjustments to the Radial Speed Face which put them both in perfect harmony! Even on off center hits, spin rates didn't jump too much and launch angles were not bad either.  The fitting truly gapped my woods' yardages effectively and now I am pondering pulling my tour issue 5 wood and stock PW  to add 4 new Vokeys.  Again, let me know if you have any other thoughts or questions and I will be extremely happy share.  Go #Titleist!

I hate to say it, but you guys are killing me.......the anticipation is overwhelming........wish the demos would get into the fitting centers.........

Cool Breeze,

That is exactly what I was looking for in a response.

I went a while back and tested some different drivers just to see what was out there since I was going to buy a new one soon.  At least I had been want to.  Then I decided to wait and see what the 915 would do.

Granted, I did not have my driver with me.  I use a 910 d3 9.5 with the Diamana White 70-X.  They had a 913 d3 with a blueboard 60-s.  Yes, a lot of difference to start with.  But with this driver, I was getting about 4000 rpm's and only hitting it about 260-270.  I kept in mind that this was not what I was used to using.  So, after a few other drivers they convinced me to try the TM SLDR 430 and put the new 757 Speeder 70-X in it.  Lets just say I was sub 2000 rpm and over 300 yards.

I just did not believe all that.  I am going back to the same store today because I need some clubs regripped.  I am taking my driver to see what kind of performance I get from it.  But if you got that kind of improvement and all those Titleist staffers saying it was the real deal, then I will definitely wait until I can hit it to see what kind of performance I get.  I love the shape and sounds of my 910 and it just fits my eye better than anything else (personally, I did not like the png G30 look).  

I will keep yall up to date on what happens.

I suspect today that my current driver will do a lot better than the one they had for me.

Thanks for the response.

Joey R.

@Joey R

I think you will like the 915 very much! If you're swinging like that with the 910 D3 Diamana White 70-X then you're going to be a beast with the 915. Just think of what will happen when your spin rate drops to mid 2000's with an optimal launch angle...I feel this will give you more distance overall with better launch thus can lead to better angle of descent, and with consistent ball speeds. Its all about maximizing distance with minimal effort. Do let us all know what results you've achieved.

So, i went back yesterday and put my current driver on the launch monitor.  It gave me some interesting results.  Definitely a lot different than the results of the 913 d3 with the 60-s blueboard shaft.

With the 913, I was averaging about 4000+ rpm and only giving me about 260-270 yards.

With the 910, I was averaging around the 3200-3600 rpm mark and getting about 280-290 yards.

That is not even the most interesting thing.  The shot dispersion was bad with my driver.  Even on some of my worst swinging days, I don't hit the ball all over the place like the monitor said.  I naturally draw the ball, always have.  I have been trying a lot over the past year or so to minimize that.  A 5 yard slight draw is fine by me, the 20 yarders dont work on some of the courses I play (tight tree lines).  And yesterday, I could not even beg the ball to draw on the monitor.  It was funny.  After hitting for a while, I was constantly hitting just a slight fade which was fine with a normal swing.

But I digressed a little, at least the 910 with the 70-X shaft was giving me mush better results.  I got some towards the end of my hitting that were only giving about 2800 rpms.  But I was getting no roll on the ball.

I know that is a lot of random babbling, but any suggestions or theories?  Just curious?  Now, i think I am even more perplexed as to what to do about the new driver.  

Another question, with the places like golfsmith, what do they get from Titleist in the way of fitting?  Shaft options?

Thanks as always everyone.

Joey R.

Hi Joey, 

The most likely reason you were spinning your current 910 less than the 913 is because of the significantly tighter shaft in the 910. If I were you, I take your gamer to a local fitter and compare the new 915 to your 910. Try different shafts and lofts until you find the optimal combination of launch and spin. 

Because it sounds like you are a high spin golfer, you may benefit from a driver with less loft, but a softer shaft that matches your tempo and transition. 

Keep us up to date. 

Bubba

Thanks Cathi and Bubba.

@Bubba

I have tried that before.  Did not like it.  I used to hit the 8.5 and I liked them, but the soft shaft was too much whip and wildly uncontrollable for my swing.  

Okay, so all of the iron are 2 degrees upright.  I attack the ball at a steep angle.  I can generate a lot of spin with my iron even with PX 6.5's.  I was playing on a course I have never played a couple of weeks ago with bent grass greens and with a 58.11 i was chipping low skips that stopped on a dime.  

As much as I dont want to, I am going to have to find someone like Cathi mentioned with the advanced kit and actually see what the ball does in the air to make up my mind.

I dont exactly have the confidence in my ability so having someone else look at it and tell me what works kind of freaks me out a lot.  Just a habit I have had all my life.  For the most part, I was a self taught golfer that picked up the game in 5th grade and played my way through high school.  Hindsight of 20-20, if I knew how to practice and would have listen to some people more, I might have been a little better than a 5 handicap.  But that is a whole different story.

@ Cathi

I saw their name on the list of places.  I actually live between Columbia and Augusta, so it is not that far for me.

I just did not realize that at a place like that, someone other than a member or a person who knew the right person could do anything like that.

I will have to think long and hard about my next step and make sure I find what will work best for me.

Thanks for your help all.  Could not ask for a friendlier and more informative bunch.

Joey R.

If there is a shaft that you want to try, when you talk to Gary or Tommy, ask them if they have it.  If they don't have it, they can contact us here at Team Titleist and if we have it in our library, we will ship it to them for your fitting. 

@Joey R

I would definitely go to a #Titleist Advanced fitter or one that has experience with Titleist fitting equipment and a trusty launch monitor.  For myself I would only use a few fitters for my specs 1. Titleist Advanced Fitter/Center, 2. My Personal Fitter which does a lot of club work with Titleist, plus he knows how crazy I am about Titleist, 3. Local Trusted Pro.

Like Bubba said, "...take your gamer to a local fitter and compare the new 915..." I think you will find it truly helpful in deciding what to do.  From what I've experienced with Titleist Fitting Carts is they have almost everything.  If you're a Diamana guy right now, I think there will be options for on the cart. 

Check out others specs along with stiffness and weight such as torque. I think you're going to find something amazing with the 915 club head and pair it with a superb shaft optimal for your high launch low spin.

Titleist is the best, Joey R and there to help out when you need help.....good luck with your fitting......that is why I started switching all of my equipment in 2011.....went 100% Titleist in early 2013 when I got my first set of used AP2s.....

I have been a Titleist Fan and user about all my like.  The only thing left in my bag that is not Titleist is my irons.  I have been using miz MP-32's for a long time now.  For some reason, they just hit like a hot knife through butter for me.  but I strike the ball really well for a 8-10 handicap.  My handicap is not really accurate to my game.  I just dont play anywhere near as much as I used to and at one point I was at a 4 handicap.

I was actually off work yesterday playing in a captain choice tournament with a bunch of work people.  Won a long drive with a bombed 320.

I am excited about what will happen with the 915.  My normal drive is about 290 and the problem becomes that I just cannot control it as well as I like to.  I dont really want to work the ball, I just want to keep it in play.  My misses get me into big trouble and easily bring into the double range.

I think I am going to do the Advanced fitting.  I will be a lot more satisfied to actually see the ball flight instead of watching a monitor.

Now the question becomes what shaft options to try.

@Cathi

Could not as for any better than ya'll treat the loyals.  Offering to make sure the fitter has what I want to try.  Holy cow!  Awesome people.

Now any suggestions from the peanut gallery.  I want to make sure that I can get the full experience and try some of the stuff that I would not think possible unless I buy it and try just on a guess.

So, my drives:

• High fly and not much roll
• Mostly striaght (have tendency to get quick and hook one every now and again)
• sometimes a slight draw and sometimes a fade.  never can tell and depends on the day
• Can work the ball when I need to (a lot easier for me to draw than fade)

I pre ordered mine at Golfsmith about 2 weeks ago.  At that time, they did not have a demo.  I will be near a Golfsmith this weekend and after reading some of the reviews, I am hoping there will be a demo at the Golfsmith in Wisconsin.  I live in Indiana and visit my son in Wisconsin (College) and wanted to get one for my birthday. I did the preorder out of excitement and not knowing when I will get off of work and be able to go back.  I am replacing my Titleist 905R with it an hope everything works out.  Hopefully, if needed, I can make some adjutments to my special order.  I realise this post may not help you much but I just wanted to say that I appreciate the anount of information gained from Team Titleist.  

@Brain F

Titleist and Titleist-FootJoy products will do that to a person. Sheer Titleist excitement, joy and a longing anticipation will bring a grown golfer to behave in an extremely crazy, loyal, and emotional manner. 

Whether the post is intended to help or not; the thoughts and feedback is what TeamTitleist discussion forums are all about. Share your stories because I think that's what we all are here for. There is a ton of technology and aids to help a person's golf game which Titleist does a wonderful job delivering to all. Golf is a mental game; Titleist gives us the equipment for confidence and we psychologically back up our thoughts and emotions through hearing member success stories.

We all have stories. We all have game. Luckily, We all have Titleist!

Hey Brian,

That 905R is a tough one to replace. It's probably one of the main reasons I became a titlist fan. The 910D3 was the closest thing I could find to it.

I took a few swings with the 915D3 with a Rogue shaft at my local Golf Smith yesterday. If you are like me and love the 905R for the sound and feel, then you are sure to love the 915.

Im not to fmiliar with the rogue shafts but I was extremely happy with the V2 shaft on the 90R.  Sometimes you just find a club and shaft that works and that was what happened with the 905 for me.  I was thinking of switching to the TM SLDR but i dont think i could change from Titleist.  I just wist Golfsmith would of had the shaft they told me i needed at the time i was fitted so I could try it out.  I was ordered a Diamana white D plus X stiff shaft.  Any thoughts or experience with that shaft?  Thanks.  Brian F

Well I am more of and S shaft person. To me, the V2 and Diamana White felt about the same to me: harsh and painful, although with the V2 maybe more so.

I had a Aldila NV 65 R flex in my 905R. My swing is rather smooth and I have also gained a few more mph since I had it, so I needed an upgrade optimize my ball spin and flight.

I probably don't have the speed or fast tempo that you have to unlock the full potential out of an x flex so I probably cannot tell you the difference between the two, sorry. Hopefully there is a follow up fitting when it arrives in the store. Worst case scenario is that you will be out 10% if you have to exchange it for something more fitting.

Cant wait to try them out this weekend 

TOTALLY jealous!  I have a few more weeks until I can go to a demo day and touch one. 

Want to give a 915D2 10.5  a try with a Rogue 70 stiff Mid a try through a certified fitter and see what happens......think I will keep my other woods for a while, but my 910D3 needs to be replaced with an updated version.......I currently have 913F 15*, 913H 17*, 910H 20.5*, 913H 24* and all are Diamini 80 series stiff shafts......really like the setups.....I can pop the ball of the tee with my 15* and 17* farther than 90% of the guys I play with in my mens senior group.  Understand that the new drivers are very accurate and long.  I like that.
