- Before playing the Titleist 910, I played a trusty TaylorMade Tour Burner TP, which I occasionally murdered with drives over 300 yards. That was nice. The bad was I occasionally sprayed them, and my thoughts were the adjustable 910 would help limit the damage.
- Even when I striped the 910, I didn't get the same distance. However, when playing well with the neutral face settings which actually play a slight fade, I drew it slightly. Not bad, good distance all was well.
- The real issue with the adjustable driver is that it doesn't help you unless you have a consistent swing. For a single digit golfer, it might be a great fix. For those of us who don't have the most consistent swings, I think it messes with your head more then anything else. Yes, don't believe the hype. The problem is that you may pick up a minor swing flaw, change your ball flight, and be tempted to adjust the settings on the club. I did this. My game went to shit. Instead of fixing my flaws, I exaggerated them, and by the end of the season I might as well have put on a short skirt and worked the corner with the amount of hooking I was doing. Further adjustment of the club did not solve these problems.
- After receiving the 910, I gave my Burner away, and refusing to take stuff back that I gave, needed a new driver. The RAZR had great ratings so I felt I should go for it. The first time out- still early, I'll admin- couldn't have gone better. I had a much better feel for my swing, and wasn't thinking about what adjustments I might need to make to the club, instead focusing on my swing. This thing also covers up miss-hits pretty well, and I had a couple with the first time out. {Check out the Mike golf swing video to see my flaws}
Final Thoughts: Do yourself a favor. Save the bucks and don't purchase the adjustable driver. All it will do is give you something else to think about while playing golf, and most of us already allow our heads to flooded with too many thoughts anyway. If you are a five handicap, go for it. If your like me, get a regular driver and once you have a consistent miss consider getting a club that will suit you. But if you have a wider shot dispersion, save the $100 and invest in a lesson or training aide.
