Most of Titleist’s golf equipment is designed for Tour players, serious players and aspiring serious players with 10-15 handicap. Even amongst such better players, each golfer has different swing characteristics. The Titleist 909D2 and D3 golf drivers are designed to match different swing styles and players’ preferences in regards to ball flight and trajectory.

Both drivers have a number of features in common. The SureFit swingweight screw is a factory installed balance weight which places the center of gravity deep in the clubhead and ensures that the swingweight can be kept at an appropriate level with various lengths and shafts. The tuned soles of the drivers have optimized pockets and an internal rib to reduce vibration, improve the acoustics and ensure a solid feel. An integrated titanium blind bore hosel design saves weight, provides solid feel, and allows for more shaft options. Each driver has a CNC-milled trapezoid face insert that is thickest in the middle and thinner around the perimeter – this maximizes ball speed cross more of the face. And finally, the integral Titanium blind bore hosel saves on weight and allows more shaft options.

How do the two drivers differ?

The Titleiest 909D2 has a 460cc, full pear clubhead constructed from titanium. It is designed to produce high launch and low to mid spin launch conditions.

The Titleiest 909D3 is smaller at 440cc and has a classic pear profile constructed from titanium. It is designed to produce a medium launch angle with mid to low spin.

The D2 has a deep center of gavity and the D3 a low center of gavity. With the center of gavity positioned more forwarded, the D3 is designed to offer more workability whether it is left or right, or high or low. The shallower face in the D2 is designed to improve forgiveness.

What the Company Says:

"Our driver development research indicates a significant variation in players' swing speeds and attack angles when delivering the club to impact. We designed three distinct 909 drivers (nb: the Titeliest 909DComp is reviewed elsewhere) to meet the different launch requirements and maximize distance across our entire target audience. The 909 D2 delivers mid launch with low- to mid-spin." - Dan Stone, VP of R&D.
