Okay, I went and demoed Titleist Drivers this weekend and found one that I absolutely love! So I bought the EXACT same thing!

Titleist 909 D2 9.5* X-stiff Diamana made for Titleist Shaft!

Well The driver came in today and I went to go hit it, feel absolutley nothing like the demo. So I am thinking maybe I am just swinging bad. (I am a little over a 1 handicap so it couldnt be me could it) Anyways I go to the pro shop and ask to hit the Demo and BAM.... It feels amazing, back to my driver ..... terrible!

How could this be, I am pretty upset!

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Im going to tell you 5 woods.
"It's all in your mind"

Try just using some half swings then 3/4 swings then some full and maybe your timing is out. Stop hitting golf balls today, wait till tomoz and try again, I would say try either of those ideas.

good luck

That's the first thing I thought when he wrote "The driver came in today". For the OP's sake, I hope this isn't the case.

It sucks?

I've never demoed a club and bought one "just like it". I've done that with cars though. They're broken in and the new one isn't.

It could be variances in the respective club head and shaft construction. If you line up a bunch of the same model club makes and put them on a swing machine they will all produce slightly different numbers. Perhaps the demo is just a "hot one"

Have you thought about taking your new driver and hitting it at the same place you hit the demo?


Do that first before you think about it being a fake.....

I bought it from TGW.com I have hit it at the same place as the demo. The demo isn't for sale! The only reason I bought it from TGW.com rather then the place I demoed it from was because they didn't have any new models of the same specs of the demo!

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
