This actually answered my question! (And yes, I was joking about the rest.)

Wiesberger, Haas are the only guys that had the 915 driver in play today at the first round. Deleat, Scott, koepka, walker, Compton, stricker , etc, all hit the 913 with a 915 headcover on it. Saw them tee off multiple times. Not sure about the fairways and hybrids.

Steele may have. I believe he did but can't be sure as I can with the rest. Duf and Spieth both still swinging the 910.

You couldn't be more wrong. This is Jimmy Walker in #18 with the 915:

 

Here's Graham DeLaet on #15:

 

No shot of Brooks Koepka with driver, but here he is with a 915H on 12:

 

Also no driver photo of Erik Compton, but here he is with 915F on #12:

You must be dreaming...DeLaet is widely known to be playing the 915.

The 915 has enormous adoption on Tour. There are always holdouts but those holdout guys are the same guys that held out on 714 irons too....

Walker is definitely playing the 915. Stricker doesn't change clubs until his old one breaks (think 909)

[WKYTrooper]

There were way more players playing the 913 yesterday than the 915. My brother mentioned some and may have been mistaken. Of I may have been loosing my mind on some too.

[KrazyTrain18]

I don't think we will see Scott switch until the Australia swing when he has time off to properly test it out. Remember how long it took him to switch to the 913 from the 910.

I can't wait for the new product catalog with shafts.

[gene_bryce]

I need a new woods.... Can't wait to hit these.

[quote name='Braddles' timestamp='1407397573' post='9877167']Good review of 915.

915 "300-500rpm less spin" than 913

Would seem a more realistic evaluation than 1000rpm less.

Same review cites a same loft 915 with same shaft yields 10m more carry than in 913.
[/quote]

I didn't see any mention of the increase in ballspeed (ie, less ballspeed loss...) for impact lower on the face that was touted in the very early buzz that came with tour release. Frankly, I was more interested in potential improvement there than the reduction of a few hundred rpm of spin.[/quote]

Thing is 913 isn't high spinning when fit and hit out the screws. What isn't clear is whether the spin reduction is an average and for how many off-centre hits.

[b]Reducing off centre spin is the goal of 915 in most people's eyes.[/b]

Hopefully this means more forgiveness (been out of the game for 10 years, just getting back in). My 905T kills me on off centre hits...which is about 7/10 right now :-/

[renatto]

We know for sure that they have hit it already at the range for a while..
Makes me wonder why top guys haven't made a change..

[WKYTrooper]

A number of the pros have BUT it takes time for them to change clubs. Some are tinkerers but the majority of pros get used to a club and have to test new clubs for a while before switching. Not many switch mid season

[renatto]

Probably right...
I change every 90 days ..
Good old Roger Dunn
Lol

Will there be any real changes coming with the irons? Feels like the lineup hasn't changed in years.

Irons are still over a year away.... What kind of changes? Like slots and s*** like that? No.... Just a plain old MB, CB and some others .

RE: Kevin Na. He had a 915 driver in play today for the second round of the PGA Championship.

 

His initial Instagram post about the 915 was made on June 27, but it's not clear when he added a reply of "its suppose to spin less. haven't found one I like yet... but its pretty good."

 

Anyway, here is Na from round two:

Ben Martin also had a 915 driver in play in round two:

Seriously, I check Ping and Titleist almost everyday. Sucks to see Billy Horschel over and over for Spring 2014.

[jons1]

Titleist makes some straight forward, clean looking, solid equipment. No gimmicks and always professional looking. Sometimes I think the stuff is overpriced, or too similar from release to release, but it certainly inspires me to go all Titleist.

Then you compare to someone like Taylormade, that always goes for the hokey option, but their drivers really perform well. To see Titleist merge the elegance of their line, with the more forward thinking technology, seems like a huge win. I just wish I could hit one. I loved the feel of the 913d3, but I still felt it was still slightly more spinny then the fast 12 ls I have now, but the feel is just so nice.

What kind of numbers are people getting compared to the 913? higher or lower launch? more or less spin? if less spin, how much less?

[scott_Donald]

funny as i have said before and this thread being so active...

i am smashing my 913 D3 8.5* with an ADDI 7X - wish i could remember the tipping as i really want to get the same flight with the 915 when i buy it with the same flight but wanting to match my beloved 3 wood with a Speeder 8.2 TS which is tipped 2 inches... so really wanting to go a Speeder 7.2 TS unless the Rogue comes to fruition...

for those who have tried it would a 9.5* head and either of those shafts have similar launch???

I'm almost certain I saw him with the driver as well.. And he mentioned how well he's driving it in his post round interview of course..
