- AP2 irons able to work them left or right with ease and with good feedback.
- Driver 909 d2 has a med ball flight and good distance.
- 909H used it once on the course with good results.
- Fastback putter. still working on that I think a got a winner
- Spin milled wedges love them soft and great feel.

Overall I'm pleased with my Titleist equipment. Good bye Taylormade.

Unfortunately, I was too late to get the full launch monitor fitting but one of the course pros, a certified Titleist fitter was able to do an eyeball fitting on the range.

For your reference, my swing speed is typically in the low 90's and I like to tee the ball relatively low (about 1/3 - 1/2 of the ball above the crown). My fitter told me that I had a flat to descending angle of attack. (Given this, my fitter ruled out the 909D3. In retrospect, I should have hit it just to try it out. Oh well, another demo day will come.)

I hit the 909DComp, D2, 909F2 & F3 and the 909H 24-degree.

The first club I hit was the 909H 24-degree with the Aldila VooDoo Stiff. The first thing I noticed was that the paint scheme made it appear a little bit closed even though it's .5 degrees open. I quickly adjusted and was hitting laser-beam shots with a nice, medium trajectory. The most positive difference I noticed versus the 585H is the feel: a nice click when hit pure and a more lively feel on off center hits. I was immediately sold.

I then hit the 909DComp in a 10.5 degree with the Matrix-Ozik-6 Stiff-Flex. A nice mid - high, straight trajectory that just seemed to go and go. I then hit my 905R with Aldila NV65 R as a reference. A great drive but lower trajectory with less distance. I was amazed at how good the feel was with the DComp, given that I've never liked any of the composite drivers I've hit in the past. I then tried the D2 with the Aldila VooDoo Stiff-flex. Lower trajectory, less distance and less forgiveness. Sounded and felt a bit more metallic and the looks were a bit more towards traditional versus the bullet shape of the DComp but the results weren't as good for me. I also tried the DComp with the Matrix-Ozik-5 R & S-Flex but the shaft was too light and generated too much spin, resulting in high fades. Long story short, the DComp 10.5 with the Matrix-0zik-6 S-Flex provided the best overall results for distance versus dispersion.

The last clubs to try were the F2 and F3 Fairway woods. I had expected to walk away with the F2's based on other reviews I read and the recommendation by my instructor; however, I ended up liking the F3s better for the same reason I like my current 906F2s over my 906F4s: looks, feel and trajectory. I had no problems hitting the F3s off the tees or off the deck and the trajectory, albeit lower than the F2s, was still fine. Although the feel of the new F2s is markedly better than that of the old F4s, the F3s still have that solid, persimmon-wood feel that I love. I'm also able to work my woods (no sexual jokes please) so the F3s won out.

I'm so happy that Titleist finally has a line of clubs that appeals to all levels of serious and "aspiring" players. I think they've hit a home run versus the D1/D2 bunt. One of the best equipment changes I made was moving from the Titleist 755s to the AP1s and I'm guessing that my move to the new 909s will help provide additional improvement in my long game.

So I hit about 25-30 balls on the launch monitor with the 909 D2, Aldila Voodoo shaft in a Stiff. Here are my notes. Keep in mind that they are all with a launch monitor or simulator.
- Look was OK if you don't mind the "chrome" look on the sole.
- Look at address was OK. Not as elongated as the DComp, not as compact as the D3 - all as would be expected.
- Feel was great for me. Somewhat more muted than in the past but in a really good way. Felt very solid.
- Sound was great as well. (I had hit a Cleveland earlier in my session and I nearly needed ear plugs.)
- Most of my drivers have been Titleist over the years (except for the TM Quads and Superquads) so maybe that is why the club just felt right in my hands and during my swing.
- Launch angle and spin are very dependent on the golfer but with my 97mph swing speed I was getting a 141mph ball speed, 13 degree launch angle, a spin of 3,100, an estimated carry of 236 yrds and an estimated total distance of 256 yds. All these are averages over about a half dozen swings.
- I also played around in the simulator hitting fades and draws. Worked as expected.

I will definitely be getting one of these. I just need to decide between an R or S shaft as I am a "tweener". They didn't have any R shafts in their shipment of D2s. And maybe once they get the Surefit system set the weights can be used to tweak the launch and spin.

Didn't like the drivers tho. Doesn't look nice at address and too big for my taste. Didn't bother to try.
