New Titleist 917 driver: shot at the 2016 Quicken Loans National

[warfelg21]

just look how many pros play the d2 model. it's just really forgiving and the spin difference is not as much as people think. the quality of the strike and where it is on the face has more impact on the spin than how far the weight is from the face.

 

For me it's just a matter of never being able to adjust to a 460 sized head. The D3 isn't that big of a difference, but the D2 just looks massive to me.

 

I always thought that too, but went to PING this year, and frankly is doesn't bother me anymore. I'm willing to give the 917 a shot now because of it.

Justin Thomas with longest drive of year with a 917 today. 414 is a pretty decent poke.

Isn't that the distance everyone on this site hits it.. #BOOM

Spin down loft up

Imagine how far it would have gone using one of the "long" drivers on the market....

Are the 917s making appearances at the Titleist Thursday demo day / fittings they are doing this summer?

[AlbertK77]

Looks good to me. Need to put my hands on it.

414 is a ridiculous length. Looks comical

Does anyone know why the weight bar is placed at an angle instead of parallel to the face?

My guess would be that it looks like the weight would be set further back on the heel portion for more forgiveness and it's set further forward in the toe setting, possibly for less spin.

Anyone know if Piercy switched?

I work in the industry and I received an email from corporate on the release date

 

It's in October but I forgot the exact day so ill let y'all know on Saturday cause we're closed tomorrow (Canada Day)

 

For everyone asking about a release date:

 

The email stated October 16th

Looked like he still had the 913.

So with the stock shafts, we always seem to get diamana in 909, 910, 913, 915.

But in the 909 we also got the aldila voodoo

910 - project x

913 - aldila phenom and tour green

915 - aldila rogue and most recently seemed to be getting speeders (816 hybrids have speeders as well)

 

What will the other shaft option be? To me the speeder seems to be hot shaft right now.

 

I don't think Titleist will have any Fuji shafts as stock options. They've generally tried to have a different stock offerings than their competitors. I'm expecting Mitsubishi Rayon, Aldila & maybe a third OEM but likely just two.

 

Do you think Aldila will have anything new to show us or will we be Rogue-ing it again (not that I'd be upset with that) ?

 

Reliable source new line of Diamana and Rogue with some crazy graphics.

[bryanwmilburn]

[jbone9]

Thanks for the pics and updates. Can't wait to try one.

When you game a 917 driver! You'll be in the fairways all the time! lol

 

I too am curious to see what the fairway woods will look like

I can't wait to get fitted for the 917 but I really hope they don't switch the surefit adapter on the driver

[renatto]

Adapter 7 bucks.. No worries on that..

I just want one now!

this was from the original 917 forum before it was locked.

[cane700]

Maybe it's the camera angle but that 3w looks huge. Thought it was the driver for a sec

Oh cool, good find, I must have missed it. I didn't really understand why the thread was locked in the first place.

[Koala2426]

Nothing like following a thread and seeing emails of posts that have been removed and not getting to see the pics that were removed. If any one has pics of the fwy woods can they be kind enough to pm me.
