    Absolutely fired up to get my new 917 D3 9.5*. I've been using the 913 8.5* for some time, but to get this monster has been nothing short of awesome! I had the White Board 72gm X Mitsubishi in the 913. It felt a little soft to me and too high of a kick point. I went with the Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8X 85gm X-Stiff and saw immediate results in launch angle with the 9.5. Lowered the spin and with the higher launch angle I have reduced my displacement and gained more in over distance. New GD Tour 8X Fairway shaft is on the way.

    How are you putting the surefit?

    Let us know how you make it. It's always nice to take out a new toy to the clubhouse.

    I have it set at A-1. First time out it was going left a bit. I'm a hooker, so it was going about where I had figured it would go. Instead of lining up down the right side as per the usual, lets say, aiming towards a bunker on the right side of the fairway and hooking it back. I aimed down the middle to get a gauge as to where the ball flight would go. As I thought, it went off to the left. So I switched the CG weight from neutral to the fade weight and bam!! I also weaken my grip slightly and stood a little taller to chase the club down the line a little longer (cut out some of that round flat swing) and started to really straighten things out. By the end of the round (last four drives) I pounded four slight knuckle fades in a row down the middle. The whole set up really felt way more natural being 6'4' 240lbs. That's also why I went with a degree more loft and a shaft that was more tip stiff. Launch angle really improved as well. No more low boring hooking runners. It's much more of higher apex and a true run out on the intended line. Does that help give you any answers our thoughts? Rob
