A little birdie gave this to me, and it will likely vanish quickly...

Aesthetically, I do like the hybrid 585H. I, however, don't like the new looks of the fairway woods, and definitely not the irons. Those irons... I don't know... a little too gaudy for Titleists. And the new Detour... much like the Odyssey White Hot XG #7, it looks like it'd be something I'd use to bludgeon somebody more than putt with it.

You don't see the red on the irons at address, though. And the fairway woods look very similar at address as the old ones (908, 904...).

personally I like aestetics of the 585H but haven't been able to warm up to the wood style hybrid (propbably why I play the 503H)... the new 906F2 is absolutely beautiful... I think that black wedge on the sole is a pretty bold statement by Titleist's designers...

The detour seems like a pretty interesting putter, I definately am going to look into it but I'm just weary as I already have a cameron and the last thing I need is another 300 putter (I don't consider myself a cameron collector, nor do I aspire to be one)

I just got my hands on the new 585h with Fujikrua 904HB Stiff. (Previously used the 503h / Rifle 6.5). Very good looking club at address. Much more "wood" like than the 503h - somewhat similar to the Taylor Made hybrid. The 585h is much easier to hit off of the fairway /out of the rough than the 503h. The launch angle appears to be higher with the 585h (might be the difference in the shaft - but probably the difference in the head weighting). For those of you who struggle to make the 14 club limit, this can easily replace a 4 / 5 wood or 2 iron. In my case, I go Driver / 19 degree Hybrid / 3 iron... This is one great club.

aesthetically everything is very disappointing. ive been holding out on buying a 904f because of the impending release of the 906 but the sole just isnt appealing at all. i know you wont see any of it at address but its still a lot less appealing than i thought it would be.

I'm in the opposite camp. I think everything looks pretty spiffy.

But then again, I'd seen pictures of the 906 months and months and months ago, so I basically knew what they'd look like.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
