Aldila Rogue Silver 110MSI 70X tipped .5" @ 45"
NDMC platinum white/blue + 2 wraps

Traded in the 913D3 8.5* with Aldila RIP @70 @ 44.75" as well as the SM4 wedges.
Really looking forward to 2015.

I was only able to demo the 110msi silver 60 S in the driver and the 95msi 80 S black in the fairway. They did not have the 125msi in the fitting cart. My swing however is more sensitive to shaft and swing weight than flex. The silver 60 is 65grams and I've found over time that I am much more consistent with 70+ gram shafts... The 125msi Silver 70 TS is 72g and is a $155 upcharge through TGW.

If you don't want to waste $155 bucks for no reason at all, the rogue silver 60 X 110 MSI is 72 grams

Nvm just saw what you ordered! Good call

[518TitleistX]

Placed the order for the 3w today. 915F 15* with 95MSI Rogue black 80X @ 43" with NDMC platinum white/blue +2 wraps.

I tested my 913Hd 20* against the 915H 18* and had better numbers with the 913. Better carry, better spin and accuracy. It looks like I'll be keeping the hybrid but the driver and fairway were much better for me than the 913's.

The next course of action is to get the irons situated. I'm leaning towards 714 AP2's with TI X100's softstepped 1x.

[518TitleistX]

I've managed to pick up a few shafts to test in both the 915 driver and 3w.

Driver shafts:
Aldila Rogue 125MSI 70TX at 45"
Fubuki Tour 73 Stiff tipped 1" at 45.5"
Diamana D+ 72x at 45.5"
Graphite Design AD DI 7x tipped .5" at 45.5"

3W shafts:
Aldila Rogue Black 95MSI 80x at 43"
Fubuki K 70x5ct X-flex tipped .75" at 43"
Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Silver TiNi 70x at 43"
Diamana D+ 80s at 43"

Looking forward to seeing the results on flight scope when everything gets put together for my specs.

[518TitleistX]

3w came in Monday night when I got home from work. Picked that up and dropped off the AD DI 7x to be tipped .5", have a new grip installed as well as a Titleist adapter put on. That should be ready to roll by the end of the week. Woke up today to find another package at my front door. Ended up being the 712U 4i with KBS Tour V 120x I got from J.W. on here. (Thanks again man!) Still awaiting the arrival of the driver and once that comes in I'll be looking at ordering the new irons for 2015.

[518TitleistX]

received notification back today that the AD DI was ready at my proshop after a regrip, tipping and adapter install. going to hit it a few times this weekend hopefully to see how she feels in the 915's. ....like a kid in a candy store right now!

[518TitleistX]

Managed to find a p95x on the BST to add to the 915F shaft shootout. This is going to be a serious "who's who" of shafts for both driver and fairways. I only hope I can be as thorough as Tai has been with his driver and fairway shootouts of the past.

[518TitleistX]

Contacted my pro shop today about the 915D2 and why its taking so long to receive the club. (I placed the order on 11/8) was informed that the 110MSI rogue silver 70x was backordered... Figured since ive had to wait this long and that there's currently 8" of snow and accumulating more by the minute I'd change the order from the 110MSI Rogue silver to the 125MSI Tour Rogue 70TX. The estimated ship date of the new order is now 1/24/15 should be quite the setup now!

[518TitleistX]

Got a phone call last night from my golf shop saying that somehow Titleist managed to locate a 125MSI Rogue. They got it put together and shipped already and the club was ready to be picked up! Oh NY weather, how I loathe your 20* temperatures right now.

With all the great reviews behind it I'm wondering If I should pick one of these shafts up or not. Do you might me asking how much the 125MSI set you back?

[518TitleistX]

The 125MSI Rogue is an upcharge option through Titleist. Shaft pricing will vary on the shop you buy from.. I've seen anything from $125 to $190 upcharge over stock pricing.

[Luke7]

I like your wedge set up Mine are 52,56,60 bent 1* strong. Same for you?

[b][i]1st post updates with current bag configuration![/i][/b]

[rymail00]

Really nice setup!

Is that a 9.5" or 10.5" staff bag?

[518TitleistX]

thanks man! It's a 10.5" bag. was the SM5 vokey bag with the BV wings on the shoulder strap and SM5 logo on the front pocket.

That's cool. I saw one kinda like that on EBay 2 days ago. It was all black, and pretty damn cool. I have black Scratch staff bag and I've been planning on replacing it but can't find another one so I've been looking at Titleist staff bags the 10.5" model actually.

EDIT: this is the bag I was looking at. One ended yesterday or the day before for $299 BIN. Wish I would of grabbed it.

[518TitleistX]

lol you don't wanna know what kind of deal I got on my bag. my local golf shop was blowing out all the staff bags in stock... they held the Titleist one for me...got it for $199 out the door! haha

That's an awesome deal! Did you get it from Northway 8? I see your in Clifton Park that's why I ask. I'm about 1:35-1:45 minutes north. Me and my buddy sometimes make a trip down there and hit all the golf stores.

I've been looking on EBay nonstop for a Scratch staff bag but nothing pops up. My 2nd search is Titleist and then "new staff bag". I saw some cool ones that were Japan models of Titleist that were pretty cool. Also I noticed TM's Japan bags don't have model emblems on them. So your the bag never says R7 or RBZ on it which I really like because it never looks outdated. Just like Titleist bags too. They just switch up the color placement.

[518TitleistX]

Haha, YES it was northway 8. I actually stopped in there tonight on my way home from work to pick up the Rombax P95x for my 3w. I had it regripped and a Titleist adapter put on it. Hit maybe 10-15 balls with it and couldn't see the ball flight in the dark but its definitely stout with great feel. I can't wait to get my shaft shootout underway! Ideally I'd find one more driver shaft to make it 5 shafts for both the driver and 3w. Then once the winner is determined the shafts will all be for sale that didn't make the cut and I can order my new irons. Haha

[Luke7]

Can you compare the 913 F.d 15* to the 915 F 15*? I've been thinking about this upgrade. I have my 913 in BST, but don't really know if I'll replace or what.

[518TitleistX]

The 913Fd was the best 3w I ever played. Long, accurate, great feel. And the 915F blew it away. 8 yds longer. Tighter dispersion. Better looks and more friendly off the turf. I'm not sure how I'm going to like cleaning dirt out of the ARC, but the club is spectacular.

[Luke7]

How do you like that 80X Rogue shaft in it? Tighter dispersion!? The 913 F.d is already the best fairway finder I've ever hit! I might just have to break the bank again. How about you just give me yours when the 917 line comes out

:-D

Who do you have do your club work? I've been having Ken Husvar at Victorycustomgolf in SC, but someone one closer might be easier....You ever have work done at exit 8?

[518TitleistX]

The 80x rogue black launches the ball very nicely. I had the Diamana D+ in the 913 and I didn't think it could get much better... I'm happily wrong about that

[518TitleistX]

Northway8 does all of my work. They've been very good to me with any club work requests. Their prices are a bit high but ive never been displeased with the service

Yeah where I go is kinda pricey too. But after having Dicks Sporting Goods work my clubs for years, but have f&cked up some builds, and actually ruined a Whiteboard I had. The problem is that the guys doing work just don't know what their doing. Their part timers really know anything about clubs and especially club work. The "pro" there I've known for a long time (he actually got me a in the golf department) is their top club builder, which is horrible news lol.

I'm going to go check exit 8 golf website and see what they offer on builds.

[518TitleistX]

The guy you want doing your club work there is Joe. I guess he's there only 3 or 4 days a week but his work is top notch.
