MODEL AND SHAFT PLAYED:
Titleist 910 D2 with 8.5º loft and fitted with Diamana Blue 65g X-stiff flex shaft.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Looks fantastic in that classic Titleist fashion. I’ve gone through the Titleist fitting process before, and had this driver set-up to produce a lower flight for the windy coastal course I regularly play. The angles didn’t need much tweaking.
VERDICT:
I found it easier to fade the ball than draw it during the road test. It will be fun tinkering with the different settings to see how it affects the flight.
On shots out of the middle, the feel was very satisfying and the sound was pure. I received good feedback on poor shots, and because of the dark finish, you’d always get a good idea of where the impact point was. The bad shots didn’t lose too much distance, and they wouldn’t shape too much either. The good ones flew straight and long.
During the round, we faced the par-5 13th into a slight breeze. I hit a drive that bored straight through the wind, the kind of shot I’d been looking for at the fitting. I’m pretty convinced about the 910, and feel like it will get even better after a couple more rounds and some fine-tuning on the range.

TITLEIST SAYS: “The new Titleist 910 drivers deliver total performance with improvements in flight, fit, looks, sound and feel.
“Longer, with more control, 910 drivers feature a fast face design and high performance weight distribution. And our new SureFit Tour hosel technology, inspired by the bending adjustments previously done exclusively on Tour vans, now provides all players the ability to have their loft and lie independently adjusted for a more precise fit to produce increased distance and shot control.
“The New 910 D2 driver is a 460cc pear-shaped head that produces mid-to-high launch with medium-to-low spin. The New 910 D3 driver is a 445cc classic pear shape that produces mid launch with medium-to-low spin.”
