I don't know if this has come up yet, but does anyone know anything on the new Titleist 909 series??

I have played the 975D 8.5*, 975J 7.5*(favorite driver ever!!!), and now have the 907D2, which i got only a month ago.
I may still try and find a cheap 905R to swing.

Anyway, if anyone has any news on this new driver, please post it here. I'm pretty anxious to check it out. Though I traditionally hold on to drivers for a while. I may be inclined to move to the 909 from the 907. I only hope that it goes as far and feels as good as my 975J did!

It will be very hard for me to put down my R7 425, but I always like to try new Titleist drivers. The 975 was great, but I have not found one that I really liked since. I do not like the 460 head and was very excited when the prototype D4 was rumored to go retail, so I will keep my fingers crossed in hopes that the new Titleist line will come with a 425 head option, but either way I will hit it just for the sake of trying it.

Word on the web (other forums) is 3 weeks and they will be doing a big demo on tour. I wouldn't hold your breath but thats what everyone is saying. Heard its a cross between the 905 and 907, I'm hoping for a 425cc head as well, taylormade made one this year why not titleist.

whats the difference between 460cc and 425(please dont say 425 is smaller) i mean dont u hit it farther and get more forgiveness with more cc

sorry dont mean to sound too off topic

1-3mph swing speed, less forgiveness, arguably more workability. 460cc will fit most swing styles better, but there's something more solid about a smaller head.

In my opinion, if you put a 425 head and a 460 side by side, you can not tell much difference. I find that the feel of the club during the swing is uncomfortable and I can't really tell where face is throughout the swing. Maybe I am just so used to my own driver that others feel different. I also cut 1" off my driver at purchase, so hitting a 45" driver is weird too.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
