Okay, I went and demoed Titleist Drivers this weekend and found one that I absolutely love! So I bought the EXACT same thing!

Titleist 909 D2 9.5* X-stiff Diamana made for Titleist Shaft!

Well The driver came in today and I went to go hit it, feel absolutley nothing like the demo. So I am thinking maybe I am just swinging bad. (I am a little over a 1 handicap so it couldnt be me could it) Anyways I go to the pro shop and ask to hit the Demo and BAM.... It feels amazing, back to my driver ..... terrible!

How could this be, I am pretty upset!

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Im going to tell you 5 woods.
"It's all in your mind"

Try just using some half swings then 3/4 swings then some full and maybe your timing is out. Stop hitting golf balls today, wait till tomoz and try again, I would say try either of those ideas.

good luck

If you bought it from Ebay, it might be fake.

That's the first thing I thought when he wrote "The driver came in today". For the OP's sake, I hope this isn't the case.

It sucks?

I've never demoed a club and bought one "just like it". I've done that with cars though. They're broken in and the new one isn't.

It could be variances in the respective club head and shaft construction. If you line up a bunch of the same model club makes and put them on a swing machine they will all produce slightly different numbers. Perhaps the demo is just a "hot one"

Have you thought about taking your new driver and hitting it at the same place you hit the demo?


Do that first before you think about it being a fake.....

I bought it from TGW.com I have hit it at the same place as the demo. The demo isn't for sale! The only reason I bought it from TGW.com rather then the place I demoed it from was because they didn't have any new models of the same specs of the demo!
