905R v. 909D2

[DavidFehertysBike]

Ive only demoed the 909D2 for a few rounds but it is very similar to the 905R in terms of just normal playabillity. Only a truly elite player will notice much difference in terms of ballflight.They do sound and feel different though.

I ended up going with a 909D3 just because the head shape reminded me most of the 905R i was using before. Id go with the cheaper option if money is a concern, but if you just want something new, im sure the 909D2 will be fine.

the 905r is a great driver but i found that the d2 went farther and had more forgiveness.
i actually switched from the 909d3 to my new 909d2 recently.
the launch monitor said that the d2 had a higher launch and less spin (even though the d3 is supposed to have less).

Had a 905, bought the 907d2, hit my buddies 909comp....

905-Nice driver I needed a different shaft
907-Proforce v2, I hit this thing a mile
909-Sounded weird when you hit it kinda like the old callway erc

You're call, the head never matters much to me, for me its about the shaft. So make sure that is a good fit for you and the rest will be history

I had a 905R and loved the clubhead...everything about it. I hated the stock shaft.

Zach Johnson played the 905R forever until he finally switched to a newer model, I know he passed over the D2 when it came out and kept the 905, now I think he plays a 909.

i think drivers have reached a point where they cant get much better, that graph shows that the newest titleist clubs go 1-2 yards further than their clubs from 3yrs ago. 1-2 yards isn't worth paying $300 for. its now who's got the best marketing department to make you think their newest driver is alot better than the one you've got

i've got an ft-5 10* with a v2 stiff, i tried out the g15 10.5* with a avixcore shaft, the distance was exactly the same, literally balls next to each other. ball flight was very similar, wasnt on a launch monitor so dont know about spin.

i'm glad i hit them side by side on the practice fairway, stopped any thought of wanting to get a new driver

I suppose now it really comes down to what advances have been made in shafts.....and which fits you the best.

So I think I was right that he skipped the original D2 that came out with that triangle shaped flop that is the D1.

FT -5 by Callaway is an awesome stick, i think it is their best players club, great looking at set up and the tech is definetly in that club.
