Titleist has also created an optional weight kit which allows the golfer to swap out weights in the sole in order to fine tune the swing weight, and adjust the feel with different shafts. The idea is that you can now adjust your trajectory without altering the way the ball moves left to right, or right to left, I suppose. Unlike most other adjustable drivers, the SureFit system allows for loft to be adjusted independently of lie (and vice versa). While we didn’t test ball flight variance as part of this review (we’re mulling over a possible supplemental review on the impact of adjustability), we did come out of the review extremely impressed by Titleist’s SureFit Tour Technology. This time it’s the company’s first crack at an adjustable driver. Like the two previous releases, the 910 brings yet another first for Titleist. Of course, the all-black paint job isn’t the only thing new to the 910 series. The literature says the face has a 15% larger maximum ball speed area, which we think means you don’t have to be dead center to be long.Īs you might also expect from Titleist, the 907D1 not withstanding, the 910 features a traditional pear-shaped look, though the black PVD finish is something new and different for them. Titleist claims the 910 series it’s the most technologically advanced driver they’ve ever made (would you expect anything different). The D2 model we tested features a standard 460cc head. The D3 model is still around, and still features all titanium construction and a 445cc head. Like the triangular D1 before it, it appears that the composite DComp has disappeared as suddenly as it arrived. And with the 910 series came some changes to the lineup. Until TaylorMade’s R11 was announced, the 910 was THE hot club for 2011. Unlike the 909, the buzz leading up to the release of Titleist’s 910 series of drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids, was nothing less then deafening. While my sense of things is that the 909 was generally well received (and anecdotally it was one of the longest drivers in recent memory), there really wasn’t much of what you might call buzz about it. The 907 was followed by the 909, which marked the first time, with their DComp model, that Titleist had produced a composite crowned driver. Then came the 907 series, and for many the release, particularly the D1 which marked Titleist first real attempt at a more forgiving driver, was a disappointment. I still own a 905T, and it still holds up very well against many of the newer drivers on the market today. Don’t get me wrong, the 905 Series was fantastic. Take this for what it is, one guy’s opinion, but Titleist has been lost in the driver doldrums the last several years.
