The discretionary weight was then shifted to an internal weight pad in the back of the club head and an external weight in the sole that help give 915D2 and 915D3 a higher MOI and launch angle than its predecessor.
Both drivers once again have Titleist's 16-way adjustable SureFit Tour hosel that allows players to change the loft and lie angle independently of each other. Loft can be increased by 1.75 degrees and decreased by .75 degrees while the lie angle ranges from 1.5 degrees upright to .75 degrees flat.
Titleist's 915D2 comes in five lofts (7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees). The 915D3 comes in four lofts (7.5, 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 degrees). Both retail for HK$6,050 and come standard with Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 70 (mid launch), Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 60 (mid launch), and Mitsubishi Diamana M+ Red 50 (high launch) shafts.
The 915 line also includes two fairway wood (915F and 915Fd) models. Titleist's re-designed 915 fairway woods feature an ARC in the sole that runs from the heel to the toe - closer to the leading edge - that increases ball speed while also reducing spin.
To increase ball speed even further, Titleist also added a Carpenter 455 face insert - the thinnest the company has used for a fairway wood.
The 175cc 915F creates slightly more spin and a higher launch angle than the more workable 160cc 915Fd. To dial-in the swing weight, both clubs come with a weight in the sole that can be adjusted to a player's swing and shaft preferences.
