Overview/Technology-
When Titleist introduced the predecessor of the 909, die hard Titleist fans were definitely excited and convinced this one will be even better. They were right. The new Titleist 910 driver is a definite upgrade to the 909 and we’ll cover a few reasons why.
Titleist goal for the 910 was simple. Improve the overall product performance from the 909. Specifically, they wanted to add the SureFit Tour hosel technology to be able to more precisely fit golfers for metal woods, along with improving speed which ultimately delivers performance in terms of distance.
Titleist delivered more performance by providing a fast face insert design and stability by utilizing weight distribution improvements made to the crown and rear bezel weight.
The PGA tour players took it to task in 2010′ with a combined 100+ players transitioning to the 910! This ultra quick gravitation proved unprecedented in Titleist history and they knew this driver would be something special. Certainly not a small feat, considering Titleist is one of the premier golf manufacturers, especially on the PGA Tour.
The Titleist 910 comes in in two models, the D2 and D3. The base performance metrics are the same as the 909. That is, the 910D2 is the larger of the two, coming in at the conventional (modern day) 460cc’s. The 910D3 is the smaller coming in at 445cc’s and provides a deep face which provides shot and trajectory control.
Titleist 910 Video Review-
Actual Player Feedback-
“Just put this in my bag and played two rounds with it. The adjustable settings on the head/shaft connector are seriously noticeable for shotmaking”
“Great driver, added extra yards and carry with the shaft and has a great sound off the face”
“Drives were consistently 10 yards longer. I went from driving the Ball from 280 to 290-300 !!!!!! AWESOME Club”
[review pros=”Titleist has done it again… the new 910 seems to follow in the footsteps and surpassing the 909 in terms of delivering performance. The new Sure-Fit will draw attention with their tour-van-in-a-hosel because its design was inspired by the bending, shafting and weighting of metals that used to occur only within our tour vans. This driver promises to be another very strong contender for Titleist.” cons=”As in prior models of Titleist drivers, this one is not for everyone. They tend to favor the better player.” score=99.7]
Overall Rating-
It’s going to be tough to improve on near perfection, but it looks like Titleist managed to pull out another one! The Titleist 910 D2 and D3 drivers are going to be the benchmark for the “better players” driver in 2011′, one that is only attained by releasing cutting edge technology and quality workmanship. Look out for updates on the 910 as the official release in November of 2010′ nears – we will be adding Actual Player Feedback as they come in.
I just had the opportunity to try out the 910 D2 10.5* (Diamana ‘ilima 61R) Default setting, indoor simulator, 10:10am, body very stiff.
Oooh yeaaa, niiiice…looks good to the eye…(esp. coming off of the 907d1) this was not a bad eye adjustment at all. The black face is a very nice touch.
Comparing it with the D3, the D3 was just too rounded for my taste. I prefered that sleek-back profile myself. The kickpoint of the ilima shaft didn’t flex as low as I thought it would.
Ok, here we go…the 1st swing was just reminiscent of my 907d1, this driver was able to perform even with my tinman swing, VERY EASY TO CONNECT! the sound at impact sounded crisp, and the feel at impact felt like a Titleist, that deep to the soul, staying of the face for that extra nano-second to feel that sweetspot for all she’s got.
If your a Titleist follower, you will be very pleased.
My distance and trajectory got better as I started to loosen up and stay within my comfort swing. This driver stayed with me, and I am very impressed. Even with the gradual increase of 4 mph within a 5 min span, I noticed that this shaft performs better. This may only be a stock cookie cutter shaft, but it is not bad at all.
I am smooth swinger, 3/4 backswing – accelerated downswing SS 90 ~ 103mph.
I am going to say that I will be moving on from the 907d1 to the 910d2 with no regrets.
Tried the new Titeleist D3 driver yesterday, one word….nice.I was looking at the Superdeep R9 from Taylormade and was still hitting to high so tech. guy at golf galaxy asked if I’d seen the new Titelist driver. I put it in my hand with the stock shaft and had similar results as the R9. Then he tweaked it with a 8.5 degree D3 head with Project X shaft and bam…I found my new driver….I just got to figure out how to get the wife to go along with it…any ideas would be great. Love the adjustable head, seemed better suited than my old R9, and loved the results.
I visited the Titleist fitting centre at StIves to try the new 910D2, hitting into a cold strong wind with my own driver I was only carrying the ball 155 yards, by the way I play off 9, the pro set me up and I hit the 910D2 190 yards carry into the wind! I’ve read reports like this and found them hard to believe but after having a five week lay off due to Xmas and the bad weather I managed to get on the course and had probably the worst 9 holes I’ve played in the last ten years. The next day I managed a full 18 and shot a gross 75 with a triple bogey on the 16th and a hole in one on the 17th (alas not with the driver). Since then I don’t think I’ve missed a fairway the confidence I’ve gained through using the 910D2 is evident in the rest of my game. I now can’t wait to go back to St Ives for the new fairways and hybrids. Roll on summer.
Hey, that’s good stuff Tony! The 910 is definitely getting rave reviews right now. What shaft are you using?
I bought the D2 9.5 with Project X 6.5 flex. best results I have ever had with a driver. Also bought the 15 deg Fairway 910 Fd. same shaft. longer of the T then some drivers I have had. I bought it as driver back up as I play a lot of courses with tight fairways. my setting is B1 slightly open. the flight is great and get good distance. People are to obsessed with distance, this is a long club due to the right shaft and setting combination for my swing. this is the key to any driver. I tried the same driver with different setting and different shaft also S flex and was generating 6500 spin. this driver in the right combinationwill work for any level golfer. Spend time making the right selection, not just one session, get a demo model and change shafts untill you find the “right” flex, weight and feel. then start to play with the settings. once you have the “right” settings, swop shafts again and see if you have different results. I took me 3 weeks to settle on the right combination. I still ajust the head between two settings, C1 and B1 both open face but different logt settings depending on wind conditions. Great club. as they say, white paint is not technology.
