Ok so recently, over the past year or so I've been working on flattening out my swing and increasing clubhead speed. I've gone from 98mph to 106mph which is all well and good,except my fairway woods had R-flex shafts in them causing me to over draw or hook the ball outright. Hence my need for either a new shaft or new club entirely. Being as I was playing the Titleist 906F4 15.5* 3wood i figured upgrading to the new 910 series would be a good improvement and also give me the ability to adjust loft and lie angle based on the shot I wanted to hit. Off to get fitted...

I have a local proshop called Northway 8 golf in Clifton Park, NY who I've dealt with regularly. So I went in and explained I was looking to upgrade and wanted to see how the 910 felt. The fitter gave me the options between the 910F, or the 910 Fd and in several different lofts from 13.5* to 21*. I wanted it to remain a true 3W so I went with the 910F in 15*. He first set the club up with the Diamana kai'li shaft and I was hitting it solid but felt the ball flight was just a bit too high for my tastes. I told him I have the Project X shaft in my driver and he switched in the PX 8C4 shaft into the club. 1st swing and I was in love. It felt perfect. Long laser with a boring trajectory with a baby draw right at the 250 sign. I told him to place the order after the 1st swing haha. Of course I hit a few more and played around with the club adjustments trying to see if you could improve on perfect. They placed the order and I got a call earlier this week that the club had come in.

Today i headed down to Northway 8 and traded in my old 907D2 driver, my 906F4 3wood and a odyssey XG#9 putter towards the 3wood. I paid off the rest of the balance, and went straight outside to the range with it. I'm still in love. I worked through my bag and spent an extra amount of time on the new 3 wood getting used to the feel. No ridiculous hooks, no weak flares. It seemed like every shot, it was coming off hot and pure with either a slight fade or draw depending how I set the club up. Can't wait to take it to the course now and not end up 30 yards left of my target.

Final specs on the club:

43" Titleist 910F 15* with Project X 8C4 shaft set on C3

Feel the same way about the 910 series, I'm a middle aged golfer with not much swing speed and was surprised to enjoy the 910g in 17 and 21 - in the Bassara shaft.

Our uses do not compare, but the 7 wood gets up nice and high, over trees, and the feel off the club is hot, crisp, and metallic. The balance of the club is just right.

So I ordered the 4 wood with the same shaft and am taking it to the range.

All depends on the shaft... I think.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
