Seeing as my driver is old and brutal compared to most on the market, I'm in the market for a new one. I went to golf town yesterday and went on a marathon, hitting 30 or so shots with each of the following: cobra speed pro D, L5V, r7 limited, callaway hyper x tour, 909 D2, and 909 D3.

Needless to say, I worked up one hell of a sweat.

Onto my point: all of these drivers were good, but had flaws (some set up a little too closed, sound off, aren't balanced to my liking, feel tinny, etc.). That is except the 909 D3. My god is that thing like heaven on a stick. Sounds great, sets up more open than the rest, feels great, is well-balanced; I can't say enough about it. This thing is definitely making it's way into my bag in the near future.

Anyone else like this thing as much as I did?

In the market for a new driver, then my bag will be the shiz.

You're obviously a better golfer than I, but I also liked the D3 when I hit it. If I'm not mistaken it's a 440cc driver, which I preferred over the current 'mailbox' drivers on the market. I really liked the trajectory I got with this driver and the overall ball flight. I couldn't really find a fault with it (other than I would have to pay for it - my sponsorship with Titleist has yet to materialize).

I have hit both the 909D3 and the 909D2... the D3 had the Voodoo shaft and the D2 had the Diamana Blueboard, both stiff flex... liked them both, I am going to a fitter this Saturday to try to get dialed in on the right model... currently hitting the 905R 9.5 degree with Grafalloy Blue stiff

I think it was the voodoo. It was a stiff flex and a heavier shaft (I think 70 or 75 grams), which probably had a lot to do with how much I liked the club.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%!
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
