Titleist D1

Summary:
This is still my driver of choice after hitting it and numerous others. I was looking to replace my original Hi-Bore so I was used to a non-conventional shaped head as this is. I kind of dig the flying triangle look!

I found it with a YS 6+ shaft and the combination is golden for for me. I can hit a hot penetrating drive with good height that I feel maxs out carry and roll. The feel is classic Titleist too. From my old days with the 975D, I loved the feel that is as close to persimmion as metal lets you get. Solid and that nice sound (completely unlike my Hi-Bore). the forgiveness is very high for a Titleist and not too bad relative to most high MOI drivers out there.

I tried the latest 909D2 to compare and didn't see much of a difference. Both were so sweet to hit, so since these can be found a great price now, I think they may be the way to go if you're looking at one or both or them.

Titleist 907D1

Summary:
I found a good deal for a 9.5 degree Titleist 907D1 on ebay for 100. It was paired with a Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board 63gram, 3.6 torque, mid/high flex point; NOT the Mitsubishi stock shaft made for Titleist that is 4.4 torque and mid flex point. My first impression was that this club is gorgeous, satin black finish paired with gleaming silver shaft. The club was light, at 460cc and regulation max 5in X 5in, the weight distribution was pushed to the clubhead's perimeter, making for an extremely light club overall. Upon ball strikes, the club felt solid, good sound, minimal twisting which translates into forgiving, accurate drives. It is an ideal driver for a mid/high handicapper, 90-100pmh, seeking a ease of use club and quality drives. However, I felt the driver to be too light to my liking. For those with clubhead speeds in excess of 100mph, this club will not transfer the energy and inertia for extra distance. My average drive is 270-275 yards with a FT-5 Tour with Fujikara 360 stiff, 3.6 torque, mid/high flex point but .350 shaft. In comparison, the 907D1 was 10 yards shorter, even when I drived to push the 907D1 hard. My suggestion is to be very selective and pair the 907D1 with the right shaft that fits your swing and needs, because that will make all the difference with this club. For those that desires game improvement the 907D1 will suit you, for those that have the clubhead speed and would like to add distance, this club is too light albeit does help with accuracy.

Titleist 907D1, Spec Grid 67 Stiff, 9.5 degree

Summary:
FIRST IMPRESSIONS (out of the box):
-head size REALLY big (looks like 500cc);
-triangular geometry not distracting;
-shaft stiffness as expected (not whippy);
-not a very heavy head;

FIRST HIT RESULTS:
- High ball flight (immediately thinking about lead tape);
- Good feedback from head/shaft on hits;
- As long as anything else out there for me (I hit 250-275yds);
- Not much sidespin movement on bad shots (NOTE: I was using a 2 pc ball, not a V1x);
- Not much forward roll potential;

AFTER SOME PRACTICE:
- Ball lined up a little forward in stance results in an almost always straight shot (perhaps a little left pull for a RH player);
- Ball farther back in stance allows for a decent power fade;
- Draws are hard with this club (though I'm not great at making the ball draw on the tee);
- With a good shoulder turn, you've got to really swing the arms fast to get this club to slice badly (of course, for people that don't turn shoulders it will slice all the time);
- Lead tape not necessary - it's possible to keep the ball low as you get used to the weight;

OVERALL IMPRESSION:
I like it! I've always been fearful of Titleist drivers b/c I always felt like you needed to be able to work the ball to hit them well. This is the first one from them that I think is for the mid handicapper. Sounds good when hit, Spec Grid shaft is a nice one with good feedback and the right amount of torque for a 100mph swinger(no special need for a new one for me!) and overall makes me feel confident I can hit it straight regardless of the quality of swing. It's replaced the Callaway Fusion and MacGregor MACTECs in my bag.

I know those that work the ball won't be interested in this club, but if you hit it maybe a little longer than the avg guy but see too many go right on you, this club may help you stay in the fairway more often.

907 D2 Diamana Blueboard R

Summary:
This club is great. Very solid stable feel, very straight and a very classic headshape. Nothing negative to say at all. Gotta like the neutral face angle. This is a real golfers club.

The Diamana shaft produces a very stable penetrating flight. The 60g regular flex has a generous 4.3 torque rating, but actually performs like a stiff. No whip hooks or pulls.

Very happy with Titleist...Again!
