Titleist 909 D3 Driver Graphite Shaft Stiff & Regulate Flex On Market

It seems to me that Titleist's 909 drivers are the most eagerly awaited Titleist drivers since perhaps… well… in a long time. I've talked with the retailers who offer golf clubs for sale are reporting good sales numbers, and PGA Tour adoption was awfully quick, with the majority of staff players switching before the first ball was struck in 2009.

Titleist is the first to admit that the 907D1 and 907D2 - two drivers with near identical launch conditions but different looks and different MOI characteristics - were perhaps not the best pair of drivers for fitting a wide range of golfers. They've corrected that "one set of launch conditions" error with 909, offering three models: the composite-crowned (a first for Titleist!) 909D Comp, the "tweener" 909D2, and a low-launch, low-spin, 440cc 909D3.

Design and Technology
As I mentioned, Titleist will admit the 907D1 and D2 were not the strongest pair of clubs they could have offered. With one set of launch conditions, several of Titleist's PGA Tour staff saw no reason to abandon their trusty 905R in favor of either 907.

With the three 909 driver models, Titleist is back in the game again. Between 909D Comp, 909D2, and 909D3, Titleist will be able to properly fit an incredibly wide variety of players. Of course, these clubs are still targeted at the "serious" or "aspiring" golfer. If you want the most forgiveness you can get, Acushnet is happy to take your money - you'll just be buying a Cobra driver instead.

This chart does a nice job of summarizing the issue. 907D2 (and D1) had nearly identical launch conditions as 905R, but the 909 models evenly space themselves out across a fairly wide range.

Golfers also have different preferences in terms of ball flight, trajectory, and playability, and demand more than just distance - a list that includes appearance, feel, sound, accuracy, quality, and consistency.

Each of the 909 drivers offers distinct performance characteristics with a precisely positioned CG that should fit everyone from the Tour player up to the "aspiring" 10-15 handicapper. All three models feature a lower crown and profile, which moves the CG a bit further back and down, reducing spin and increasing MOI.

Additionally, the drivers have a number of other features in common:

• Optimal CG location low and deep in the clubhead.
• A milled 6-4 formed titanium face insert that features variable thickness, including a thicker trapezoidal shape near the center surrounded by thinner material to maximize ball speed across the face.
• An integral Titanium blind bore hosel - gone is the bore-through design found on the 905 and 907 drivers. This saves internal weight, provides a solid feel, and allows for more shaft options.
• Shaped sole design with the primary tasks of tuning the acoustics and reducing vibration. Each model has a different "trim" color on the sole as well.
• Modern shapes with Tour-approved profiles - gone is the "triangle" found in the 907D1.

The 909D2 is a 460cc titanium driver with a full pear profile and mid launch characteristics with low to mid spin. MOI is 4800, allowing for a little more workability than the 909D Comp, and the face is shallower than the 909D Comp or D3, providing launch confidence and a preferred setup appearance for some.

That contrasts with the 909D3, the smallest of the 909s at 440cc. D3 is a titanium driver with a deep face, a classic pear profile, and mid launch, low spin launch characteristics and an MOI of 4600. Many will recognize that this model is an extension of the cult hit 907D4 model that was never released to the public.

Titleist has stated that they expect about half of their PGA Tour staff and player base to be best fit with 909D2, with the remaining half split between D Comp and D3. For more technical information, check out Titleist's pages for 909D Comp, 909D2, and 909D3.

With a classic pear profile, deep face, and 440cc titanium construction, the Titleist 909D3 is a high performance driver delivering mid launch with low spin.

The 909D3 features a tour proven, modern profile that creates a low and deep CG for reduced spin, higher MOI, and longer, straighter drives. The classic pear shape with a smaller, deeper face enhances workability for shot and trajectory control.

The tuned sole of the 909D3 includes optimized pockets and an internal rib for reduced vibration, providing solid feel and better sound.

An integrated titanium blind bore hosel design saves weight, provides solid feel, and allows for more shaft options. The factory installed SureFit Swingweight Screw helps to position the CG deep while also providing a precise head to shaft match.
