Titleist's new 915D2 and 915D3 Drivers: In-hand photos


GolfWRX

Recommended Posts

Wow, a pretty drastic change if you ask me. Channel on the bottom, an alignment aid that kinda looks looks like a spaceship, the sole looking almost similar to the Covert...

It just hit me. The new alignment aid is a symbol for the active recoil channel. The flat part is the face of the club, the triangle is the body, and the gap is the ARC.

 

Assuming they use the same alignment aid on their fairway woods (very reasonable), that should mean they'll also have ARC.

Top is blacker, less "gold' tint and sparkles than the 913. Shape is better, little more rounded at back.

The comparison pics are 915D3 vs 913D2, but I agree the 915 looks great!

Those two cosmetic detail redesigns are exactly what I wanted to hear.

Normally the cosmetic stuff of new Titleist drivers takes time to grow on me. This is one is an instant cosmetic success for me. I like everything about it.

What does it sound like? 440cc and 460cc? The bottom does look like VR LE.

I'll be getting one!

I'm sure its a terrific driver. Titleist rarely disappoints.

However, that new marking on the crown just doesn't look right. Part of the classic look that Titleist always pulled off was tied to the fact that it always had the same crown look. Obviously, this has zero affect on performance, but it is definitely an issue that stands out when looking at pics of the new line for the first time.

I totally agree with the sentiment it looks like the VR Pro LE on the bottom. Otherwise another really good looking driver from Titleist and I'm sure it will perform as well as the past models. Interested to see what the stock shaft offerings will be.

The old alignment aid originally started as a symbol for DCI.

The new alignment aid is a symbol for ARC, and it's actually kind of an update to the DCI logo. You still have a line and triangle, just now ARCified.

definitely has a hint of the older Nike VR drivers with the channel..... but all in all looks like an AMAZING driver!! I have a S+ shaft laying around with surfeit adapter and I've been contemplating a new 913 or just find an old 910 head. Needless to say...I may just wait for this bad boy to come out so i can get fitted for it instead

That thing looks as good as I could have hoped. It will take some getting used to looking down at that traditional looking head after playing the G25 for the summer. My PayPal is locked and loaded for this thing to be released.

Does JW already have his? I kid, I kid...

When black & white photos were released on the USGA conforming driver site this morning, my initial reaction was that it was very similar to the Nike compression channel. However, the devil is in the details.

 

Here is Nike's compression channel. It's a symmetric U shape:

nikevrprodriver.jpg

 

Here's the 915's ARC. It's more like a V than a U, with one side slanting down and the other side going straight up, like the V is a bit tipped over.

The 'star' on the bottom looks a little funky but still classic Titleist for the most part. I think if they can lower the spin to just above the SLDR, BBA etc. while increasing forgiveness on off-center hits this beast will be tough to beat

Overall it looks very nice, interested to see how the new versions perform. If they took them in a different direction or not.

Does look like old tech from Nike, and I prefer the old school alignment aid.

Driver discussion aside, that player in the white shirt has some nice swing positions. Tyrone something, can't read from the bag.
