    Just been up at the Titleist National Fitting Centre to get fitted for a 913 driver as part of a Golf Monthly forum event. What a great day. I brought my smother hook along too, and after a few shots with my current cally, Henry the fitter from the Tour van had a think about what might work well and put me into a D3 with a Diamana +. That immediately got me flighting the ball better with great launch and spin and a soft fade and I could have pretty much walked away happy there and then. But we tried a few more shafts, and ended up choosing an Oban Devotion stiff flex which produced an even better dispersion and flight. After lunch and a factory tour, the club was ready for me and I took it home.

    I have used most Titleist drivers from the past 10 years or so, but the 913 looks like it might be an outstanding club. The fitting process was great and I would encourage anyone who isn't happy with their current club set up to consider going up to the NFC. The set up there is very impressive and the fitting options and fitters great.

    Thanks to Titleist and Golf Monthly for a great day.

    Hi

     

    Nice to hear you had a great time. Do you remember what the launch/spin rate numbers were on Trackman for the 913/devotion combo?

    Would be nice to know.

     

    Thanks

    I tend to hit down on the ball a bit, so get quite low launch. With the Oban I was getting around 12 degrees launch and 2600 RPM off about 99 or 100mph driver speed and a smash factor around 1.49.

    I thought the 913 wasn't out until 5th November?

    Hi Craig - a couple of lucky Golf Monthly readers were the first to be fitted and get their hands on a 913 driver as part of a feature that is being written for the magazine.

    The Titleist National Fitting Centres will be starting fittings from 15 October (for fulfilment w/c 5 Nov) and the 913D2 and D3 drivers will be available at retail from w/c 5 Nov.

    Hope this clarifies.

    Thanks for clarifying Neil. I can't wait to get my hands on the 913. Will my local pro be getting the fitting equipment in October so I can have it fitted there or will it just be the NFC's that have them in oct?

  7. Team Titleist Staff

    If your pro is a SureFit account, they should get all of their fitting equipment w/c 22 Oct.

    Glad to hear you are eager to get fitted for 913! Look out for an update on tour seeding of 913 fairways and hybrids on the European Tour after next week's Dunhill Links Championship!

    Great news. I will be looking at replacing my 975f's with the 913 as soon as they are out too.
