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.

Please don´t swing while I´m talking !!

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.

      When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      By saevel25 ·

      I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
