New Year, New Gear

The new 915 line from Titleist - which includes drivers, fairway woods and hybrids - has been built for distance without compromise

Titleist's 915F is available in five lofts (13.5, 15, 16.5, 18 and 21 degrees) while the 915Fd comes in two lofts (13.5 and 15 degrees). Both clubs retail for HK$3,640 and come standard with the Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 70 (mid launch),Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 60 (mid launch), and Mitsubishi Diamana M+ Red 60 (mid/high launch) shafts.

Each fairway wood comes with the 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.

The 915 line of hybrids (915H and 915H.d) includes Titleist's ARC in the sole that boosts ball speeds across the entire face while also lowering spin.

While lowering spin was important in the driver and fairway wood, Titleist recognized during testing that it didn't want to dial back the spin characteristics as much in the hybrid.

Titleist 118cc 915H generates slightly more spin and a higher launch angle than the 107cc 915Hd. Both hybrids have a high-strength Carpenter 455 steel face insert that's designed to deliver increased ball speeds.

The hybrids also come with Titleist's 16-way adjustable SureFit Tour hosel that allows players to change the loft and lie angle independently of each other.

Titleist 915H is available in four lofts (18, 21, 24 and 27 degrees) while the lower spin 915Hd comes in three loft options (17.5, 20.5 and 23.5 degrees). Both retail for HK$3,360 and come standard with Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 70 (mid launch) and Mitsubishi Diamana M+ Red 60 (high launch) shafts.
