Titleist 915d2 Dilemma

went over to Nairn to take the dogs for a walk on the beach after work and hit the new 915, as we have a load arrived as demo clubs in the pro shop.

Tried the smaller headed one with the Adila Stiff shaft in, all i can say is thats the best Titleist Driver I've ever hit. Slight tail wind and it was pretty warm out there almost 14 deg.

Prob about the same distance as the SLDR, and pretty easy to hit.

Might have to take it out in the morning and see what its like into the wind.

If i was looking for a Driver ..... more than likely would buy it..... Luckily I'm not :)
 
Big fan of the D2 and still considering it very seriously. Outperformed my G25 at Silvermere but it's a big hit at the moment and I'm not sure I can pull the trigger. I drove nicely at Blackmoor with the Ping so while the D2 is longer and tighter dispersion on my day the Ping is functional enough. Might be buying for the sake of it
 
So what's the difference between the 910 and the 915 that seems to be giving people so much more distance??
 
I was hoping it would be good, but was really surprised just how good it actually was.

The only thing Mizuno have missed with this driver is producing just the one head. The head gets opened and close to move the loft. In doing so, you can't have the face closed and have it in a low loft or you can't open it and have it in its highest lofts.

I'd be surprised if the next model isn't offered in the usual low med high lofts with the ability to adjust further up or down from there.

spin is the main factor and offcentre hits less punished.

Remember all manufacturers work to the same tolerances so there nothing 'better' out there, just something with less flaws. You just have to minimise the risk by choosing what suits your swing characteristics
 
I use a 913D2 which I upgraded from a 910. Major difference was in the forgiveness rather than the distance. I did hit a 915D2 with Titleist and the numbers were pretty much the same. 910 to 915 would be good move but the shafts aren't interchangable so making sure you have the right shaft is crucial.

The driver shafts are interchangeable. It's the fairways and hybrids that aren't on certain models.

Are you sure of that? They definitely fit one another, but the tips are different. One is more tapered than the other so I don't see how the 910 will sit properly in the 915.
 
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!!!!

Am I the only one that cant see the Dilemma?
 
I would not change. If you get on with your current one, then why cash out? In the summer it might be nice to have a lower launching shaft anyway because the ground will be firm. Up to you at the end of the day...
