Titleist 909 D1, D2 or D3

Which of the three is the "natural" evolution for my current 983K ?

I think we're enough levels beyond the 983K that you owe it to yourself to get fit again. In other words, for your own sake, it's probably better to get fit than to get an answer to this question lest you automatically assume that's the model for you. Even balls have changed since 983K.

That said, the information about which ones launch higher or lower and/or have more or less spin is readily available.

Fitting would be the ideal scenario, no doubt. However that is impossible where I live.

I have tried the 907 D2 from a friend, with a Fujikura stiff. Did not like it that much.

My problem is that I love the Aldila NV-65 stiff shaft, so when I try new drivers with a different shaft I never know if that is the reason why I don´t like them.

So, the best solution would be to take the 909 D2 and 909 D3 (I already know the D1 would not be for me) with the NV-65 Stiff shatf. But that is impossible.

Soooo, that was the reason for my question. Based solely on ball characteristics is the D2 or the D3 more similar to the 983K...

I know, hard to answer...

Iacas, I have seen how you have gone from a 907D2 to a 909D3, maybe you can help me summarizing your feeling differences between the D2 and D3 specs...

Thanks a lot.

According to Titleist you can custom order a driver with the nv 65 shaft. However, it does say there is an upcharge. If you really wanted that shaft the 905R had the NV 65 as a stock shaft. Should be pretty easy to find a used one.

there is no such thing as the 909 d1. Its now called the 909 DComp. This has a higher launch and lower spin rate than the D2 and D3, its also composite to give it a lower COG.
But basically that same as iacas said...get fit, it will help you out alot. For me the key to playing good is hitting fairways, therefore the driver is probly the most importannt club for me, behind my scotty.
