I am puzzled by a Titlelist 909 D2 with a Matrix Ozyk xcon5 regular shaft…..

I acquired this club at a pawn shop who have great bargains available from time to time...

I took it to the range and it was love at first shot, a marriage made in heaven!!!

Now I looked this club up on the Titleist website and it differs with mine! whereas mine has adjustment ability to change shafts with an adaptor and the pic on Titleist doesn't have this ability …..

It is genuine Im quite sure!!

My current tool for later drivers appears too big to fit the screw head on the 909 that also has weight adjustment also…...

I am hoping someone could shine a light on this for me and hopefully acquire a tool to fit it, tho as i said earlier its going great (for now)

Can you take a pic? 909 isn't an adjustable driver. I wonder if you got one that was made for fitting.

Hi Nemicu , thanks for that info, I would just like to ask you it what aspect is it non-conforming , is it the face with more trampoline affect etc etc. I've just spoken to Titleist Australia who are non-committal about that , would need to see it etc etc Cheers

I would assume the fitting aspect makes it non-conforming.

Correct.

Every club that goes to retail is submitted to the ruling bodies for conformity testing. The club submitted MUST be the exact same as those proposed for sale in terms of form, shape and markings. Since the fitting cart club isn't like the actual production club for sale, it isn't conforming. Nothing to do with the CoR of the head (although it probably wouldn't be tested anyway). If OEM's want more than one type of club in the same range to be deemed conforming (e.g. 909D2, 909D3, 909Comp), then ALL different models must be submitted for approval. Since the fitting cart head was never intended for sale, it was never submitted.

When new models come out (e.g. 910 series) the older fitting cart stock quickly becomes a bit of a white elephant and it rapidly becomes worthless - even Titleist don't want it back. The odd dealer or two will sell off fitting cart stock to make a buck rather than have it sitting around a using up valuable retail space for new stock.

Thanks very much clarifying that Nemicu and now makes sense. Will now remove the shaft as that is terrific and add it to a conforming head!

Very unlikely that you'll be able to.

It'll be too short, given the adapter on the end.

As you can see, the 909 is a "bore through" head and you might find this is your issue with other heads.

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

Hi Shorty, I think I'll be able to have the adaptor removed and as it differs with the current one and put the shaft into another conforming Titleist head. The exercise has actually confirmed tthat this combo is good for me at present !! However I am a tinkerer and it is a bit of fun messing around with older clubs !!

Hi Shorty once again. This particular club is not a bore through, it is identical to later heads that have an adaptor. The difference be that the screw going into the adaptor is smaller than the current adaptor screws and needs a different tool to fit it !! Cheers

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
