I am in the market for new hybrid but seems like 909H is not much of a talk in the forum. Anyone tried this and can give some honest feedback? How does it play off the tee/on the fairway?

Sound, feel, flight, etc?

Comparison to 585H because I didn't really like the 585H.

Shaft choice for this head whether it be stock or custom. (Especially those who play the likes of Diamana White or Prolaunch Red for their drivers and fairway) Thanks.

I got my 21* 909h for Christmas w/ a standard Diamana blueboard. I have only gotten to hit it once at the range. I love it. No duck hooks(I had a burner which was a hook monster ). Over all I love it I can work the ball and its not really that hard to hit. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps good luck .

It should be an improvement over the 585, the only gripe I've gotten from my 585 is the lack of feel, but that could just be me. I've heard they fixed this on the new one.

What do you guys the main reason for 909H receiving a Silver instead of Gold in GD Hot List? Performance and feel was given only 4 stars. Without being biased, do you guys think that it is really a silver?

I honestly thought that 585H didn't deserve a silver even in the past GD Hot List...

Honestly... I think Golf Digest Hot List is a bunch of BS. It is more or less a paid advertisement. Yes there are alot of good clubs on the list but not all clubs are treated equal when it comes to the Hot List... do you really think that Scratch and Miura wedges arent in the top 10? Why isnt there any Bridgestone clubs on their list?

Take the hot list with a grain of salt... go hit a bunch of clubs and the one that performs best for you gets a gold star.

Yup, I do agree to what you are saying about the Hotlist, but I do think they rate the clubs quite fairly. Miuras are very hyped in the US but in Asia (and Japan) we don't regard it as super high end club (don't get me wrong, because they are great clubs). Miura did a smart thing to make the "mysterious" Japanese forging and bringing it to the US. I think Bridgestones were on the last issue of the Hotlist if I am not mistaken (2008) and compared to this year's line up, I did think that J36 were less performers (don't know if this is the right word because they are good clubs also). G10s I personally believe really deserved to be on Gold again... Anyway, the point I was trying to make is not to determine whether the Hot List is legit but why 909H received less points compared to the other hybrids. I just wanted to find out that specific reason...

Sorry, I am drifting away from my own main topic. Lets get back to 909H thread. Thanks for your replies so far.

Go hit it and see for yourself, as anything we saw will probably be subjective. I think the hot list is bs, as pretty much any club on it has all positives, no comments like impossible to work, or crappy distance, or sprays all the way. I agree with the people that say it is an advertisement.

I've hit several lofts with the voodoo shaft and i found it pretty easy to hit. I really liked the weight of the club. If possible, try out some different lofts. I found that i liked some trajectorys over others

Would love to try but I can't get my hands on any demo for now... How does 909H compare in terms of feel to 585H? I personally felt 585H were quite dead in terms of feel...

what i would do is wait until the equipment issue of Golf Magazine comes out. The y have the good and bad aspects of each club. as well as good and bad feedback from testers. But it all comes down to if you like like it. In all honesty, some people just get clubs to say, "oh i have such an such club," even if they cant hit it worth a crap. It all comes down to if U not GD gives it a gold star.

    • There's no such thing as the spirit of the rule. And, you do realize how insanely small the time window and the level of water is for water to come up with one person standing there but not another person, right? It's basically never going to actually happen like that. There are lots of rules like this: a 7' tall person's knee height drop is from higher up than a 4' tall junior's drop. Their driver is also longer, so they get a larger relief area. What are you gonna do? Beyond that, my reply to you is the same as @DaveP043's: write a better one. This one is easy to understand and enforce. The penalty for playing from a wrong place is two strokes, so no, it's not significant. In that sense, the potential advantage must be > 2 strokes. No, it's not "irrespective of it." That's why the penalty exists. If it's significant, it's a DQ, which is the ultimate penalty. See above. They don't need to judge that. No, he didn't. He could have taken one stroke to drop in the same place. This was already stated. Instead, he paid two. Of course they do.
    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".
