Hmmm, "surefit." I wonder, you think Titleist is getting in on the whole adjustable driver phenomenon? I would imagine it's a good idea, after all, it's hard to compete with adjustability if you don't have it.

I hope they stay away from it. Titleist has seemed to always stay away from the gimmicky clubs, i.e., square drivers, adjustable drivers, adjustable weights, etc. They did have the 907 driver a few years ago that was triangle shaped and it didn't sell well I don't think.

I like that Titleist has stayed a "players" club and doesn't just go along with the latest, greatest trendy gimmick in golf equipment like every other company does.

Surefit is their fitting tool, ie the clubs on the Titleist cart, they are legal for play so I think that is what that refers to. I can't imagine Titleist would do an adjustable driver when they believe so much in fitting. But I might be wrong, some fitters are talking about adjustable drivers.

I think they look pretty good, I guess the black clubs are the fad going right now. It will be interesting for sure to see if they offer some sort of adjustability like TM and Nike offer. I hope not, though I do like the idea of swapping shafts in and out easily.....but then again that could get mighty expensive quickly. :)

I could go for that. Swapping shafts in and out myself would be nice, but all the other adjustments that you're able to make these days, e.g., opening/closing the face, extra weights you can move, etc. I can do without.

The SureFit name has been around, they used it for the little weight screw in the back of the 909 drivers, fairways and hybrids. The heel makes me think the hosel will be adjustable, and I have heard from good sources that it is.

The clubs look sweet but I'm not going to buy the new ones since I got just got a brand new 909 D2 with a custom fit shaft. There's no point for me to upgrade clubs now.
It'd be nice if they had the adjustable hosel but I hate the look of it on the R9 and VR drivers so it wouldn't be to my liking anyways.

Looking through the list of conforming drivers on the USGA website, they have listed the Titleist 909 D Comp (w/Surefit), Titleist 909 D2 (w/ Surefit) and the Titleist 909 D3 (w/ Surefit). However, Titleist hasn't released any adjustable drivers for the 909 series and seeing that all these have the Surefit name, I'm not sure whether the 910 series will have an adjustable hosel.

I don't know why so many people are opposed to these adjustable clubs. The face and lie angle adjustments are among the best things ever introduced into golf. It used to be, if you didn't fit into the standard lie, forget it, to bad. Now, you can adjust the lie angle to your personal needs. I'm 3° upright, so most hybrids and fairway woods with flat soles are hard for me to hit. I also like the idea of opening up the face. I hate the damn hook faced clubs, and offset clubs that are everywhere. I like a nice, open face. All my clubs have absolutely no offset, and I like it that way.

I'm the opposite. I see no downside, the hosel adjustability works. I hate all of the draw biased clubs, and though Titleist doesn't make their with closed faces, it would be nice to know I can have the club perfectly square to start with,

I see what you're saying but is there a driver on the market that is adjustable that will allow you to adjust the lie to 3° up? None of Titleist's faces are closed, so you don't have to worry about that with them.

Like I said though, I'd be all for the ability to interchange my own shafts quickly, but all that other stuff, Acushnet should just leave it on their Cobra brand (which has clubs which has everything adjustable.) If people want the ability to adjust their driver, they can buy TaylorMade, Nike, or any other company that currently has that technology, but Titleist should stay with what they've always done. BTW, how tall are you anyway that you need clubs 3° up?

Acushnet's parent company sold Cobra to Puma back in March of this year . Thus it makes sense for them to broaden the target market for the Titleist brand.

Ah, the old "height = lie angle" myth. It's totally untrue, of course. I'm upright because my arms are short. I'm 6' tall, but my armspan is much less (most people's armspan is equal to their height.) If I can adjust a club 2° up, it makes it that much better.

Again, I just can't find a reason to be anti adjustment. Are you saying it's better to not have an option than to have an option? It makes no sense. And maybe Titleist doesn't offer hook faces, but maybe I want a driver 2°, 2° open? Say the next day I feel I need it 1° open? Why not have the option?

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
