I can buy a Titleist 909 D Comp 9.5 with Ozik Matrix X-Con 5 shaft........ anyone using this driver ???

I've used it several times in the past and in my opinion (only), it was the most forgiving Titleist driver I've ever used. Having said that, I would think with you already using a 910 D2, the lack of workability of the D Comp might be a negative for your game. Just my $0.02.

The 910 D2 is a very fine driver indeed, but I work about a two hours drive from home, so I stay at another place during the week, and sometime play a course there, so at the moment I play at two courses, using two sets ...... the Iron sets are quite familar (MP-33/MP-67), but I just want to upgrade the older driver (Cleveland Hi-Bore XLS) without spending another $400 ....

So I will maybe buy that secondhand 909D Comp, besides that there is nothing wrong with a spare driver that goes straight and easy.

BTW ..... When I first saw your group 10.000 lakes ,,,, I thought how funny ...... a group from Finland !!!

So I hit the 909 D Comp at the range today and one of my  buddies asked to play 9 holes, well it became 13 and all except one that hit the green at the 305 yds par 4 6th hole landed in the fairway. it is fair to say not all were that long, but most were around 250-275 and in the fairway with a mid to higher trajectory and the strange low spin ball flight ...... they went up in the air quite fast and then went along-along-along straight forward......... I wouldn'r call it forgiving, but for a Titleist driver it is as easy as it gets.

We actually have according to the DNR; 11,842 lakes but who's counting. More accurately is the Land of 10,000 mosquitos.

I have been touring in the USA for a few months a few years ago, starting in Colorado through Utah, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, flying from there to visits Massachusets, New York and New Jersey ....... but now I just googled Minnesota ..... seems to have missed a beautiful state........

Maybe next time .......

Idaho ...... known here from unions and patatoes (they told us at highschool) was very nice....... camping in the Sawtooth Mountains at the border of a lake was maybe the nicest spot we were during that 14 weeks.

We didn't visit for golf that trip, just a family trip with my wife and two daughters to see something ftom the USA and visit some relatives near LA and Sacramento/Redding, but we actually saw not many golf  courses (except near Pebble Beach), are golf courses far apart in the USA ?

This is my current driver and I like it a lot.  The club is a good fit for me because I've never been one to get much launch angle with the driver.  I can also slice the ball so lower spin certainly doesn't hurt me either.  This shaft is the highest launching stock offering so that played a part in my seeking out this particular combo.  I'm not really sold on the idea that any one driver is much better than another.  Manufacturing what it is today any name brand driver is right up to the limits the USGA/R&A; impose, but where I think being fit for a driver can help is finding one with launch and flight profiles that fits our particular swing.
