Titleist

[djhgolf]

Hello all,

Having spent the last week watching Ernie Els and Adam Scott play the Heineken Classic on the famed Royal Melbourne Layout not far from me I saw some new Titleist gear in the flesh. Ernie had his new Titleist driver on display. And he had some new forged cavity itons 735cb i think could not remember the name of the driver it was a 9 series and Adam had his 670 or prototypes.

But on friday Els went back to his trusty blades.

Does anybody know of any sites which has sneak previews of the upcoming models. As after some heavy testing of Mizuno and Titleist I am going with Tiltleist! But only have hit the 690 Mb and want to know If i should wait for anything. Like the 670 or 680 or any of the upcoming models!

What do you all think?

The driver Ernie is playing with is called the 905, it's a new deep faced 400 cc driver Titleist is about to come out with in mid March. There's a thread in this forum with some pictures of it too. Interesting hearing about Ernie's cavity back clubs, I know his 2 iron is usually a cavity back. I would have pegged him as a hard core blade player and with $$$ on the line, I wouldn't think he'd eperiment too much. Neat news!

I read about another person who played golf with Adam Scott last week and he had pictures of Adams equipment, and his irons were labeled as 680's, but with the custome grinds and equipment pros get, who knows.

Titleist has been super tight lipped about their new products, so any information is subject to change, but as far as I know in March the new 905 driver, 904 fairway woods, and spin milled vokeys will be out. A month later the updated V1, V1X, and NXT balls will be out. I wouldn't wait for new irons, everything I've been hearing recently is that irons will not be introduced until August or later in the year.

Hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Thank for the info Taylormadefan!

Yeah he was using a combo set made up of those 735 and some of his old blades.

i was just about to get my phone to grab a pic as i was watching some practise puts and Ricci comes over.

oh well better luck next year.,

I'll second what Kiran said about all of the above. Perhaps the only new irons available will be the 735s, from what people have said, and potentially 695s, though that is quickly becoming myth-like.

If you like the 690.mb, you won't be able to hit the 680. Just look on the Titleist site and see if the differences between the two are the way you want to go. The 680 is a smaller blade with a higher muscle back and thus a lower ball flight over the 690.mb.

I have a 983K right now, and last I heard Adam hasn't switched to the 905 because he likes his 983 just fine. I'm not certain what I'll be doing with my driver, but I'm 99% confident I'll be getting some 680s this month.
