Titleist 913 Range?

[Love2Slice]

Wouldn't they be 714? I though it went by twos? 710 to 712 etc..

[Asleep]

a lot of hate here

We don't do "hate" on GolfWRX.

 

Let's focus on taking the high road here, folks.

 

 

What am I supposed to learn?

Don't over-post in a topic, for one -- it's against forum rules.

 

 

 

Cleaned up the mess. Please keep it on topic, thanks. :)

will we be able to use 910 shaft on the new 913 line??
[/quote]

I actually called the titleist customer service line and waited on hold for like 20 minutes to ask this same question before throwing a 910 tip on my fuji tour spec 6.2........ the guy on the phone was pit bottom worthless and had no clue. he couldn't have been less interested in me and my fears of wasting 275 on yet another shaft.

what a skank.

I have to respectfully disagree. The difference in the Ka'li stiff MF and real is huge.

But I hear ya on the rip and Px alternates (heavier at no up charge). Good stuff. Didn't know that. I do like a 70g RIP alpha stiff.
[/quote]
Okay, so the stiff MF and retail are different. So what? The point of retail shaft offerings is to provide a range of options for 90% of golfers. If you're part of the 10%, you should expect to need custom options. The same philosophy applies to clothing.

As for the shafts themselves, whether MF is identical to real is irrelevant, unless the real version is the ONLY shaft that fits you. There's this belief that MF is inherently inferior, when it fact it's better for the overhwleming majority of golfers, and if the MF Ka'li doesn't fit you that well, try another shaft. If you're really serious about your game, you shouldn't care what's painted on the shaft. You should blind test 10 different shafts and use whatever is best.

Today's lesson folk: People don't care if your 15, or 51, you have to be accountable for what flies out of your mouth, and realize that sometimes, saying nothing is the most mature thing you can do. Today's generation, aka, NEWgeneration, needs to learn respect, manners, etiquette, and plan old common sense. This coming from someone who's in their mid 20's...

Before anyone blasts anyone else, go read the goals for this website, yeah, the kid was being a donkey, but 150,000 people don't need to tell him. I think the mods should send him a little pm, saying watch the atitude, and let's move on.


BACK ON TOPIC.

I haven't played a Titleist driver for a whole season since the 975 JVS/983E (same year) and I really hope the 913 is a bomber with a super low spin head.
[/quote]

Amen!

And Amen to the Topic comment as well. I love Titleist for it's classic, no-nonsense looks but really hope they get away from the 'made for' stuff. If it's something else, just call it something else.

I've been fitted twice for 910s and the most recent one was kind of a let down in the service dept. He basically called me out for being a 10hcp and wondered why I was so obsessed with spin rates at 'that handicap'. Enough that it turned me off of Titleist for awhile. That said, the WRXer that I am keeps me looking at them.

The sound and feel of the 910s are just too sweet. Hope I pull the trigger on that i20 I've been looking at or I'm gonna have 2 drivers...again. By the way, shopping for my 5th driver this year...suggestions?

I had to post. I love this site for many reasons and today was like icing on the cake. I was just absolutely taken aback earlier today by a PM from Titleist. I posted earlier in this thread about a bad fitting experience.

Titleist PM'd me and has asked for any further details I'd like to provide and to suggest a fitter for my next fitting. Someone was listening to little old me? I think that was just an incredible gesture on their part to make it known that they're truly listening...and to give me an ear to bend.

Proof that GolfWRX has become a force in the industry. I'm glad to be a part of it.

Thank you GolfWRX. Thank you Titleist.

Now back to the 913 discussion...and yes, I'm that much more anxious to see it come to fruition now.

Titleist jerked me around 6 months ago and I made a bunch of noise about it on here. One of the mods has a buddy who is an exec at Titleist and he passed the thread on to them plus I let Titleist know the thread existed. Long story short they sent my clubs right out and I think they started paying attention to this site because they know how much influence it has.

Agreed, it's good to hear this kind of stuff. Regardless of the generation or the product, service is key. Service makes things taste better, smell better, and makes that smile bigger.

The new 913 will be white....With a chip in the head and one in the shaft, that will link to an app on your smartphone. It will tell you ballspeed, launch angle, spin and what club to hit next....LOL
Lets be realistic here....The performance and popularity of the 910 will mold the new line. Expect to see the same surefit adapter, small changes in adjustability, "more tunability", couple of new shaft offerings, matte black finish and new graphics on the bottom...I can also see a d1, (game improvement 460) and d2 (445 head)....Other than that, probably a shift in weight towards the front to increase ballspeed....

And who needs a swing coach...its the mental side that plagues everyone...
If a PGA pro books lessons at your course for 50-75 an hour, a shrink could bill 250 an hour and stay busy around the clock...

I don't think they will be trying to increase ball speeds unless they can maintain the same workability and forgiveness. I think Titleist is not all about distance with their drivers. They are determined to make clubs for "better players" and distance is not the most important thing.

As long as golf is played, distance (for a driver) will always be the most important thing!

If the Titleist crew is listening how about selling the shaft adapters for a reasonable rate?

 

I was really torn between the 910 and R11s and one of the reasons was a $45 vs $15 (approx) shaft sleeves.

 

Went with a 910 D2 though

[robbie91]

Well I figured I would chime in with the 5 things I hope this 913 series brings.

1. Titleist needs to move to moveable weights in the club head like TaylorMade and Callaway are doing. Moveable weight would allow the player to change shot shape without having to mess around with the loft of the golf club though which is one of my major gripes with the 910.

2. Make the custom shaft offerings more reasonable. I would rather Titleist follow Adams lead and charge me 500 for a club with a authentic fubuki than a made for version of a shaft. Cutting costs on the shaft is a pain in the a** for any player who wants something a little nicer than a made for. Just offer clubs with made for shafts and more expensive options with authentic shafts but don't charge me 800 bucks for a driver.
(this will never happen but its worth noting)

3. Make a fairway wood that is forgiving. I understand titleist is a players brand but the current fairways are very unforgiving compared to others on the market IMO.

4. Finally come out with an adjustable hybrid that isn't awful. IMO they would be the first company to actually do this.

5. Change the name. 913 sounds horrible and looks horrible. With all the changes being considered with the new stuff they should consider changing the name of the line too. Certainly, 913 is much better then rocketballz but something other than a random number ending with 13 would be nice.

[sniper]

How about the new Titleist woods having the KURO KAGE as a "real" stock option. Doesn't the KK have a price point similar to the RIP and the Project X?

What is the 913 is it a new line of drivers or fairway woods or hybrids or all 3 of them like the 910
