915 drivers

Titleist 915 driversTitleist's 915 drivers follow on from the launch of the 913 models two years ago. The D2 comes with a 460cc head and the D3 is a slightly smaller 440cc model designed for those who favour a driver with more workability. But both 915 drivers offer improved forgiveness and increased distance through some exciting new technolgies, including the introduction of the Active Recoil Channel. The channel is wide, deep, long – the brand’s take on a slot-style design – and positioned to coil and spring for consistent spin and speed across the entire face.Titleist 915D2 driver - £379Loft options - 7.5°, 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 12°Adjustability - The SureFit Tour Hosel allows for 16 loft and lie combinations to tailor the ball flight.Key technology - A wide channel in the sole of the driver (called the Active Recoil Channel) offers more distance by actively flexing at impact to launch the ball off the face with higher speed and lower spin. The face insert is thicker in the centre and thinner in the heel and toe areas to provide more distance on off-centre strikes.

Test Report – Neil TappinThe 915 drivers are two of the best models for 2015. While we have criticised the SureFit Tour Hosel for being more complicated than most, when used by a knowledgeable fitter (which Titleist always recommends), these two heads can be set up to suit the needs of almost any golfer. They’re undoubtedly the most forgiving that Titleist has produced, and certainly aren’t just for better players. I was able to drop down a degree of loft compared to the 913, to bring spin down without sacrificing the launch I was looking for. This resulted in impressive added distance.

Titleist 915D3 driver - £379Loft Options - 7.5°, 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°Adjustability - The SureFit Tour Hosel allows for 16 loft and lie combinations to tailor the ball flight.Key technology - The 915D3 driver has a 440cc head, compared to the 460cc 915D2 model. The pear-shaped profile is combined with a deep face and produces a lower flight and less spin than the 915D2 head. The Active Recoil Channel again helps to improve distance. Weight is strategically placed in the back of the head for a low and deep centre of gravity position for added forgiveness.

Test Report – Neil TappinIt’s rare to see a major brand offer two models with the same technology, adjustability and at the same price point, but with different performance characteristics. This allows you to make your choice between the two based on the flight on offer and the look behind the ball. The 915D3 is stunning, but the D2 is more confidence inspiring at address. With the adjustability on offer, it’s likely that an expert fitter will be able to find settings that work for you in both models, so personal preference will be the deciding factor. The impact sound is one of the best on the market.
