Mar 8 2007
The latest drivers from Titleist are the two models that make up the 907 Series, the 907D1 and 907D2.
These two drivers have one difference that every golfer will notice at first glance: their shape. The 907D1 has nontraditional geometry (its clubhead is triangular); the 907D2 has a more traditional shape to its clubhead.
Below the surface, the differences between the 907D1 and 907D2 can be summed up this way:
- 907D1: Maximizes MOI; will be preferred by golfers who are concerned more with forgiveness than with an ability to work the ball.
- 907D2: Increases MOI over previous Titleist drivers, but has a lower MOI than the 907D2; will be preferred by golfers who don't require as much forgiveness but do require workability from their driver.
Both drivers begin shipping on April 1, 2007. The MSRP will be $500, with Titleist requiring a minimum advertised price of $399.
Here's a look at the features of each driver, with bullet points taken from the Titleist news release announcing the new drivers:
Titleist 907D1 Driver
- 460cc Maximum Triangular Geometry: Triangular geometry is more efficient and achieves maximum USGA and R&A limit geometry. Increased MOI heel-toe and high-low for exceptional forgiveness and increased distance on off-center impacts.
- Large Maximum Ball Speed Area: Large maximum ball speed area for increased ball speed across the face.
- Multi-Material Design: Constructed with a lightweight 6061 T6 milled aluminum hosel, high speed SP700 beta titanium alloy face insert and precision cast 6-4 titanium body.
- Tapered Face Insert: Tapered thickness face insert is thinner at the top to promote high launch and low spin for optimum launch conditions and maximum ball speed.
- Low Mass Crown and Hosel: Low mass crown and hosel optimize the mass distribution to lower the CG for solid feel and better energy transfer. Sculpted sides increase the sole stiffness for more efficient energy transfer.
- Symmetric Face Design: Symmetric face design increases the face area and, combined with improved scorelines and the square face angle, provides confidence at address.
- Aesthetics: Gloss black paint finish with textured side skirt and "foggy mirror" polished sole provide outstanding cosmetics.
- Lofts/Stock Shafts: Available in lofts of 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5 in right hand and 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 in left hand. Standard shaft length is 45”. Stock shafts include the Graphite Design YS-6+ (64g), Titleist Spec Grid 67 (67g) and Aldila VS Proto 65 (69g). Stock grip is the Titleist Tour Velvet Rubber Round grip with the logo under. A comprehensive list of additional shafts and grips are available through Titleist Custom Clubs.
- Advanced Geometry: 460cc advanced traditional geometry driver with enhanced moment-of-inerta for increased distance with workability and shot control.
- Multi-Material Design: Multi-material design with a lightweight 6061 T6 hosel, high speed titanium alloy face insert and precision cast body.
- Tapered Face Insert: Tapered Face Insert is thinner at the top to promote high launch and lower spin for optimum launch conditions and maximum ball speed.
- Low Mass Crown and Hosel: Low Mass Crown and Hosel optimize the weight distribution and lower the CG for solid feel and better energy transfer.
- Symmetric Face: Symmetric face profile with visually improved scorelines and crown shape provide great looks in the playing position.
- Aesthetics: Gloss black paint finish, textured side skirt and "foggy mirror" polished sole provide outstanding cosmetics.
- Lofts/Stock Shafts: Available in lofts of 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5 in right hand and 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 in left hand. Standard shaft length is 45”. Stock shafts include the Graphite Design YS-6+ (64g), Titleist Spec Grid 67 (67g), Aldila VS Proto 65 (69g) and UST ProForce V2 75 (76g). Stock grip is the Titleist Tour Velvet Rubber Round grip with the logo under. A comprehensive list of additional shafts and grips are available through Titleist Custom Clubs.
