Tested the 910 drivers today at the range. D2 with Diamana Kai'li 65 stiff and D3 with Diamana 'ahina 72 stiff, both in a 9.5° set the default setting. The D2 felt so much better compared to the D3. The D3 felt almost as dead as the Cally FT Tour. The D2 had a much higher ball flight compared to the D3 but that's probably because of the shaft. Thinking the D2 with the 'ahina shaft might be a pretty good match.

I am actually looking to put one of those shafts in my new Octane Tour. I am looking forward to trying the new Titleist as well. They look sweet.

Although I didn't hit a single one worth a darn, the guy had me fitted essentially to a 910 D2 9.5* Stiff at the C-4 setting. Problem is that I almost definitely need to get any shaft I get cut down to like a 44" because every single shot was high and almost on the top and toward the heel...doesn't help that I felt like garbage when I was swinging and I haven't touched a club in 2 weeks ;P But yeah it was the first titleist driver I had ever tried and I was relatively impressed :P Seems like the Str8 fit system though with the almost excessive combinations available, without the very large hosel.

Even if this were true, you don't think it's a significant change?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

If you think the D3 is as "dead" as the FT Tour, Titleist has a winner. The FT Tour is one of the hottest drivers out there right now, too bad the FT Tour heads crack all the time.

The 910D's, look sound and feel great. Not sure about distance compared to the 909. I haven't been on a launch monitor with one yet.

with all due respect wrx, your comparing two heads and shafts that are meant to do completely different things

the D3 is a low launch, low spin head, combined w the Ahina, which is also a low launch, low spin head the D2 is a mid/high launch head, combined w the Kaili, which is a mid launch shaft the D3 is also going to be less forgiving, due to its smaller head design and smaller sweet spot but im sure you knew this.... ;)

I personally ordered the D3 head yesterday after my fitting on Sunday and absolutely loved it. I have a higher swing speed so the low spin with the D3 head matches my swing pefectly. I went with the Project X 7C3 shaft which helped out with producing a penetrating low spin trajectory (something I just couldn't get consistently with my 907D2 driver).

I also hit the 910 D2 on sunday which is also a fanastic driver and an improvement over the 907D2 but overall, the spin numbers on the D3 were just stellar.

Didn't the club heads are dead themselves but that is how they feel to me. I already know the FT Tour's are one of the longest club heads but I will never put one in the bag because they feel like crap to me. In my experience, the FT Tour does not last long in people's bags for whatever the reason is. I liked the 909D3 much better than the 910D3, feel wise.

Yup, just giving my thoughts on the two combination. I would love to try the D2 with the Ahina shaft to find the middle point.

The dead feeling with the 910D3 may be shaft related and coupled with the head, probably was the issue. What is your swing speed and what shaft was in the 909D3 when you hit it?

I've hit the 909D3 with the stock VooDoo S, stock BB S, Diamana WB 73 S, Rombax 7W07 S, and UST Axivcore Red 69 S. My swing speed average is right around 100. Friend who was with me with a swing speed close to 110 had the same sentiments so don't think its a swing speed issue.

Interesting. I ask because I ordered in the 910D3 on Monday after hitting it on the monitor on Sunday (to cold in Toronto to hit outside right now). My SS is 119 but am afraid that the dead feeling you speak of may be true as in hindsight, the monitor could've easily been calibrated to make the numbers seem better. While I highly doubt this, the possibly is certainly there. Everything however did feel good on contact vs. my 907D2. I'll report back when the driver comes in next week.

The D2 (9.5*) was the first Titleist driver I ever hit and I hit it well. It blew my other driver away on the launch monitor and in feel. I mean majorly! Not to mention, the stock Kai'li worked great for me and feels really smooth. The closest aftermarket shaft according to the numbers was the Graphite Design AD DI-6s (almost dead even). After making an adjustment (C-4) it got better. Being a high handicapper, this driver gives me confidence and the straightest ball flight I've ever had

I demo'ed the 910 D2, 9.5 w/the RIP shaft, set to neutral...didn't go thru a fitting, yet, but this driver is sooo much better than my 907 D2. From the look, sound, feel, ball flight...and I believe extra distance. I plan on going thru the fitting sometime after Christmas, but I do like the feel and look of that RIP shaft...something about an all black driver.

Does anyone have any ideas on how well the coating on the face will stand up? I put a few ball marks on it w/20 or so swings, but didn't see any scratches.

I have played 10 rounds with the demo club at our course and compared to my old super tri it is miles ahead looks like it will cope well with alot of use

So the face looks good after 10 rounds? How many balls hit? I would guess at most 14 per round, 140 total...any range time? My fear is that range balls will beat the snot out of that finish. I suppose if you hit the sweet spot every time it wouldn't be that bad.

My luck would be one bad shot off the toe and there would be a constant reminder of a poor swing. Either way, I'm going to buy this driver...I think...I'm going to the range again tomorrow to hit it again.

I tried them both briefly. I thought that the D3 was a little more solid, but to be honest neither of them really blew my mind. They were basically the 909s just better looking and with more technology. But, I reserve the right to try them again and change my mind.

I finally got to see these bad boys and I must say I wasn't too fond of the D3 head shape; I liked that size of it just not the shape. I am sure I could get use to it, but I will still have to try these out at the range once the winter is over!

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
