So these are 2 of the new models out for 2013 and I am struggling to work out which one is better.  I have traditionally been a Titleist fan but in my research so far thinking that the Ping might be worth a look.  Very interested to hear which one you would go for? or if you have already had experience with one - well the Ping anyway...

I've hit both and currently testing the Anser for review.  Both are really good.  The 913 has more options in terms of adjustability.  The Anser has a similar shape to the G20/913 D2 with the black matte finish and produced lower spin than both those drivers.  In terms of spin, the Anser is between the G20 and i20.  D3 has a more compact head, very similar to the 910 D3, sounds great and I would say has similar spin characteristics to the Anser.

You can't really go wrong with either, just depends on the look you prefer at address.

No driver is better than any other at that level.

You need to find one you like the look of and try to get the right shaft.

Another person's experience will;have no bearing at all on your own impressions.

You have to make up yoiur own mind.

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

totally different drivers d3 is more of a tp, its small. i started off good with it but as the season went on i just couldnt hit it. its not for you average joe. i picked up the ping anser today. it compares to the d2 which my buddy has and I can hit. i liked the anser right away and according to the monitor I hit pretty well so I said eff it. its not as adjustable ut im kind of over adjustability and had it back to A1 anyway.

I went for a fitting yesterday for the 913. Ended up going for the D3 in 8.5 with a prolaunch red stiff shaft in. Beautiful controlled flight with a bit of run on the ball. Super happy with results, can't wait to get it from Titleist & get out there :)

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
