I was thinking about getting this driver. If any of you have tried could you share your comments. Also what driver does it compare to in forgiveness.

I currently use this driver, and overall it is a great driver, and I don't plan on switching to the 909 any time soon.

The club looks great, but I feel it's strength is at address. It has a nice round-ish shape, solid black with the little arrow mark for lining up.

The 907 comes with great stock shafts, and I personally use the UST V2. I feel this shaft and head combo is a great for a mid to low ball flight.

Interms of forgiveness, well for lack of a better phrase, its a Titleist. Meaning that Titleist usually leans towards the player, so I mean in that sense its not to forgiving, but if you are a pretty good ball striker then you should be fine.

For the whole club, I think its biggest strength is it's workablity. I can hit it high, low, cut, draw, anything. Its great!

But, there will never be the perfect club. I think that it's biggest weakness is it spins a bit too much (4000+ rpm's), well for me. Unless you have like no spin, you will probably have to go with a lower spin shaft. Although with my swing I have been bringing the spin down, that coupled with a heavy V2 I manage about 230 average off the tee.

I hope this helps, and good luck in you quest for a new stick.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

The 907d2 is a great driver. I like it because it feels "solid". It is a fairly forgiving club--its not nearly as forgiving as a Cobra F- Speed--but i would say that the d2 is about the same forgiveness as a TaylorMade r7 Superquad in my humble opinion.

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I would say that is a good comparison, I've hit other drivers, and find them to be way way way less workable than mine. I think the d2 is a great driver, great distance, I'm gonna be either buying a new 907d2 or a 909d3 I just don't know which yet, I decided if I get straight as ill get 909s(driver, 3 wood hybrid, all new with stiff shafts) and if I get anything less I'll just buy new of what I currently have with stiff shafts. I think the 907d2 is a great club though, I have the ys-6 reg and it's great when I don't balloon it, but that is my fault for getting too whippy of a shaft.

I agree with you. I also want to turn back the clock a few years and say that Titleist's best driver ever made was the 983K...That club on center hits to me is longer than any other club ive hit today. I know that it was only 363cc but in my opinion that was titleists single best club theyve ever made. It was just soo solid and very very long. Im just surprised I don't see it in more players bags at oakmont.

I've got a 10.5 UST V2 75g regular with a 105 mph SS, and find it reasonably forgiving and long with good workability. Recently played 3 rounds at Bandon Dunes (Bandon, Pacific, and Bandon Trails), and hit about 60% fairways using the 907D2. Playing as a 13, I won a few bets...

I just bought the 907d2 and have only played a few rounds with it. Great distance, lowish ball flight, and workability. I'm not even close to a scratch golfer and even I can work the ball. I haven't been able to do that with R7 460 I was using.

When i was looking for a new driver i tried the 907d2 and the 909 d2 and d3. I thought the 909d2 was much more forgiving than the 907. The 909d2 was just about as workable to. Both are very solid drivers

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
