I've recently been looking to put a titleist fairway wood into my bag. I have a slight left to right ball flight (yes, there is the occasional slice) and I'm looking at something in the 15 degree area. I've been looking at some pre-owned 906 series clubs, as well as new 909's and the new 910 series. I'm not going to say I need this club to be able to go 260 off the tee but rather I'll mostly use it once or twice a round off the tee and maybe once or twice off the fairway to reach a par 5 (or a par 4, I dont bomb it 330 every time, there is a shank here and there). I'm wondering if anyone has used a few of these models and sees any major difference between the three or between different models in the same series. I'm not opposed to an adjustable club, as I have an R11, but the price tag for a new 910 fairway is a little expensive compared to what I can get the others for.  I'm more interested in this club going straight(er) than being able to shape the ball.  I'm not necessarily set on Titleist, but I am opposed to taylormade fairway woods as I found my R11 hybrid to get beats up pretty badly from being hit off the ground.

I love my 910D2 and considered getting a matching 3-wood, but didn't end up doing it. I preferred the 910F over the 910Fd because it has a lower-profile face and was easier to hit off the deck. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to picking one up.

I have the 910F and I love it.  I was pondering the F-d as well thinking that I'd want to use it more off the tee, but the F is just as good for that and easier off the turf.

Unfortunately, there is no magic in the club:  Just like my other clubs, good swings produce good results, bad swings not so much.

Incidentally, I have a 910H as well (19*) and love it too.

I have the 910Fd, that club is amazing. Its a monster off the tee, very easy to shape, and not to high for a 3-wood. its not to hard to hit off the ground as well.

I have the 906f2, and feel like it has a bit too small of a head for me. It's not a very forgiving club for a higher handicap. It's more workable, but I would choose the 909 or 910 with a bit wider/larger head.

Your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same.

If you want a good fairway wood then I'd suggest the Tour Edge Exotics CB4. LONG off the tee and pretty easy to use off the deck.

I was always afraid of Titleist, thinking they were not for a bogey golfer like me. Wrong. I have 3 910F's (13.5, 17, 21), and a hybrid 910H (24*). They are money, easy to hit. Long and straight. Probably workable, too,but that's beyond me. The look and feel is top notch as well. I liked my TM's, but these are in a different league. Easy to hit, sound great, go long. I wanted to like the driver, but it just didn't work for me. Bought the RazrFit.

I have a 15 degree 910Fd and a 19 degree 910F in my bag.  I've found that the 910F is MUCH easier to hit off the deck compared to my 910Fd.  Of course this is off winter Bermuda fairways that get tighter and tighter until the spring growth.  I'm hoping that off a "regular" fairway I'll find the 910Fd a little easier to hit.  It is long and straight from the tee box though.

    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
    • Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.   
    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
