Titleist 910D3 Review

The 910 generation's real trick sits in the hosel. SureFit Tour uses two independent angled pieces, a ring and a sleeve, so loft and lie can be set separately rather than tumbling together the way a single tapered sleeve forces them to. Sixteen combinations, and crucially a fitter can add loft without shutting the face, or flatten the lie without giving up a degree of loft. The D3 head is the 445cc one, a deep pear with a taller face and a centre of gravity further forward than the 460cc D2, which is the whole reason tour players took to it.

Spin falls, the flight flattens and the ball holds its line into wind. Off centre it is merciless in the way low spin heads always are, and there is no sole weight, no track and no bias setting, so if your miss moves right the fix is a shaft rather than the head. The sound is a firm, tight crack and the shaping at address is as conservative as anything the brand has built. A fitter's driver first and a shop shelf driver a distant second.
