Should I or shouldn't I? That is the dilemma.

I currently have the Titleist 910d2 which I am getting on well with, but I have been offered the 915d2 at practically cost price. How much better than the 910 is it? I have hit a few balls with it but it has a low/mid launch shaft as opposed to the mid/high one that I have on my 910. With the ground being so soft I cannot see how far the roll out is with the lower flight. If the only difference is from roll out, I might be cheaper changing the shaft on my 910.

I am off to Turkey on Thursday of next week and wonder if I should make the change before I go.

AAAAArgh!!!!

Get on a monitor and do a direct comparison between the two and see what difference there is. If its an improvement, buy it!

Also, if you are getting it at cost price, if it doesn't work sell it on for a profit or at least recoup your money.
 
On paper its an upgrade. The 910 was a little spinny and not so forgiving. The 913 was a little better on spin and forgivness and the 915 is meant to be a lot better.

I have the 915F and although I am not in love with it, it is stupidly forgiving.
 
I can't believe you've come to this place to ask whether you should or shouldn't buy some new kit ;) It's like going round to Poulter's house and asking if you should support Arsenal or Spurs :)

Judging by the price you are being offered it's a win win. If it perfoms better great but if not you'll be sure to get your money back. Have a great time in Turkey :thup:
 
I moved from a Taylor Made R11 to the 915 D2 in November last year and it made a massive difference to my spin rates. Although I was consistent with the TM it was far too high launching and with my angela of attack the spin rates were over 4,000 rpm....the D2 with the Rogue Aldila shaft brought that down to about 2,500 rpm and really lowered my ball flight.

My bad one now with the D2 is just a low, straight one which still travels if the conditions are ok.

It did take me a couple of range sessions to get fully used to it but having had some proper games on the course it does make a different to my driving. When I got fitted the lower rpm was getting me about 15 extra yards but I think the big misses not being as big is the real benefit.
 
Trialled one at Silvermere the other week and loved it so brought one from my pro the other day and used it for the first time at Blackmoor yesterday - went very well and glad that I made the switch from my old TM R1.
 
I'll let you know tomorrow, one of the guys i play with just got one from the states with shaft upgrade, he has a 910 as well, so will no doubt fill me in on the difference. Might even have a pop with it myself, though i can't see me changing from the SLDR i have at the moment, not for a T anyway;)
 
I've currently got the 913 and I tried the 915, and even with my rubbish swing it gave me an additional 10-12yds more carry. The Titleist 915 is a cracking club and if you can get it for cost, take the persons arm off at the shoulder.

Titleist drivers are black and they say once you go black you never go back, we'll they are wrong, Mizuno Blue is the new black.

apart from Crossfield all I hear/read about are people who are 'struggling' or "not quite there yet" with Mizzies latest Driver

I've just been fitted for one, took an upgrade to the Motore Speeder 6.3 67g stiff shaft and the 850 really sings for me, it was even better than the Titleist 915, well in my hands anyway. Looking forward to trying the 850 fairway with the same shaft.

so you bought it?
 
I went from a 913 to 915 in Jan, early days but currently averaging 20yds further in Distance and an increase from 52% FIR to 65%, just hope it continues into the summer!
 
As mentioned, if you're getting it for cost then it's no lose.

You get on with it....great, you've got a new driver for a great price.
You don't end up feeling it....no issues, you got it for cost so you're unlikely to lose anything and may well make a profit.

Go for it....
