They look sick, I wonder when they will come to Australia? The 909D3 looks so much like the 905 S or T i can't remember.. They look tonnes better than the 907 range.

Yes and no. Yes on October. I've already said as much a few posts ago.

No on the "players" club. It has less spin than the D2. For some, that'll be good. For others, not so much. They're all Titleists, so they're all "players" clubs. Just depends on what kind of player you are and what your drive characteristics are like. Oh, and there are three clubs, not just two.

For those that use hybrids or need one, they are also making a 909 Hybrid. Similar shape to the Adams "Peanut" shape with the same design features of the driver.

I wouldn't call the 909 hybrids quite like the Adams. They're boxier than the 585, but they're still pretty similar.

Actually, duh, I can just show you. Both images © 2008, Erik J. Barzeski, The Sand Trap .com.

Damn nice pictures Iacas. That looks like a really nice club. Hits pretty similar to the other one, the 585?

It looks like it may have more offset?

I find it hard to believe Ryujii Imada doesn't play a wedge higher than a 53*? Am I reading that wrong?

Anyway, I'm surprised a tour pro has gone to it so soon. It looks really nice though.

I noticed Chez yesterday was playing the Titleist 909. I'm not sure which model but I'm interested to see the tour feedback on this driver as compared to the D2 which not many of the pros ended up playing.

I have seen several pictures of the 909D2 and looks a lot like last years TaylorMade Burner Driver. I have seen the 909D Comp which is pretty good looking, but I dont know what kind of time frame before they are released to the public.

Just look back in this thread - it's already been answered. October.

And I really, really disagree re: the Burner "lookalike." The shape is not the same, and aside from the sole being "shiny," I don't think the sole looks anything like it either.

Now, if the 909D2 came out over a year ago and Taylormade was just introducing their new Burner driver, you would be all up in arms over the similarity. Of course I have not seen the head shape of the 909D2 at address so I am sure they are different from each other and I am not saying that Titleist is copying any design engineering from the Burner driver, they just look similar.

I honestly don't think so - I don't see the similarity. The way I see it, if you want to cast your net that wide in looking for similarities, the bottoms of

a lot of drivers would look similar. I've heard enough other people say they think it's similar, too, and that's fine - I just don't see it for myself (though there aren't many clubs I would say look similar, admittedly). The shapes are different, the flutings and channels are different, the colors...

    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree. 
    • Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i
    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.   
    • I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
