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

[KrazyTrain18]

True, but it gave him the opportunity to swap up.

915 > 913

Per my rep:

[size="2"]Rogue Black is 69 - 72 g depending on flex - 2.9-3.2 tourque - good option if you load the shaft and are quick in transition.
Rogue Silver is 72-74 g and 3.4-3.5 tourque - similar target to the Speeder or Phenom shafts - softer bend profile than the Black in spite of the weight.[/size]

Maybe a dumb question, but what Speeder is the rep referring to? The current aftermarket versions from Fujikura, or the made-for Titleist Speeder (I loved that shaft)?

Can't speak to that but I believe he's referring to the 661 and 757 speeders.

Isn't the Speeder 757 a relatively low/low shaft like the Whiteboard?

Its a shame Titleist didn't also follow the Taylor lead of making their weights interchangeable between designs.

[The Kracken]

Seems like everyone forgets that Adam's golf made the splash with Slot Technology. Taylormade then bought adams and launched similar tech. Now Nike does slots, and then we have the best looking club again coming from Titleist. I am looking for something with 1.0 COR. It may be illegal but, man would it be fun.

[Torrey TIme]

Hello all. Short time lurker first time poster.

I signed up for a Titleist fitting day at my local Golf Mart next week. Anyone know if Titleist ever brings pre-release equipment (i.e., 915) to these events?

I know, right?! Gets my goat to think Titleist expects me to pay $30 for another weight should I decide switch to the 915…Bollocks!!!

[Murdoch]

I was able to hit the 915 yesterday. Both the D3 and D2.

Old driver - 913 D3 8.5 Tested 4 heads. D3 8.5 & 9.5 D2 8.5 and 9.5

Flightscope was set up and this is why i can tell you.

The largest difference between my 913 and the 915 without a doubt is the sound!!!!. It's a bit louder yet it feels very solid. You will notice the sound difference right away.

I used the shaft from existing Titleist driver in all 4 heads and had it set on A.1.

My 913D3 8.5 compared to the 915D3 8.5 found the ball flight to be much lower. In fact the 915D3 9.5 produced numbers with the same launch but close to 300 rpm's lower in spin rate.

In the end I ended up with the 915D3 9.5 and plugged it in my old shaft right away. Truth is I get about anywhere from 5-9 years more.

So it's louder, launches lower then previous model and spins less.

Was told the club would be available November 14th in Canada, and orders will start be taken beginning of October.

Hope that helps.

I would rather have the adapter stay the same, which it has been

Murdoch how did the d2 compare flight and spin wise to the d3? Thanks

appreciate that... i was down to 8.5* or 9.5* and that has persuaded me to 9.5* and the lower Rogue...

[Icemanzacw]

Great post. Where abouts in Canada are you that you got to go to a fitting?

[tts22]

Played the 915 the last couple of days and I think I'm sold. No trackman or flightscope, just on the course and playing. Took the shaft out of my 910 and screwed it into the 915.

 

It feels soft but launches hard just like the 910. If I was blind folded I don't think I could tell the difference between the two in terms of feel alone.

 

It launches higher and carries 8 - 10 yards or so further. Again nothing measured, i've been a member at the same course for the last 8 years and I know where I usually am from the tee in terms of length.

 

The 915 is louder and sounds different. Not good or bad, simply different.

How much lower was the spin? How much lower was the launch?

That triangle thing looks kind of funny.. still on the fence with my excitement towards this 915 line.

So would you say it's worth getting? 8-10 yds really isn't THAT much of an improvement. Unless the forgiveness and workability was increased. $400 is alot of money to drop. It'll amok come down to how each player hits it, my 913 D2 12* has been surprisingly forgiving yet workable. We shall see...

8 - 10 yards may not sound like much if you hit it 300 yards. A good drive for me is right around 250 - 260 all in, so 10 yards is a big gain.

Too soon for me to comment on forgivness because I just don't have enough experience with it yet. I used it 11 times yesterday and hit it well.

Put it this way, 8-10 yards could mean one less club in...

[TitlePured]

And what about this club would give you an extra 10 yard over the 910 or 913? There is no new technology that will give everyone 10 yards across the board... unless you're grossly misfit with your previous club... or the smell of a new driver boosts your adrenaline and gets you swinging an extra 5 mph.

[towncryer]

I'm excited to try it still...seems like it's been year since Congressional! Like others have said, 915 will have to dramatically increase distance for me to jump from my current driver. 910D3 is the best driver I've owned as far how it performs for me. I wouldn't give it up for a few extra yards.

[ccgolfer37]

So looks like others have been playing this driver so I'll chime in now, I've been playing the 915D3 10.5 for a while now and it's legit! Coming from my 913d3 10.5 this club is longer, 10 yards is about what I've gained as well. the thing I like the most is the added forgiveness and lowered spin. I've been a member at my home course for about 15 years so I know where I am normally and this club is consistently ten yards past my normal spots. Sound is different than my 913...it reminds me of the Cleveland hi bore XL in terms of sound. The feel is good, slightly firmer than previous titleist drivers. It's the real deal, like I said the forgiveness is awesome and more distance is always good!

[deep18]

Haven't gamed a Titleist driver since the 905R but this one has my attention. It's gonna have to be really good to get the ZL out though.
