Titleist golf drivers feature designs based on swing mechanics like attack angle. Already the #1 golf ball, Titleist is shooting for the same with golf drivers.

Titleist was started in the 1930′s and is part of the Acushnet Company, along with Cobra, Footjoy, and Pinnacle. Known by its slogan, “The #1 Ball in Golf,” Titleist is also one of the most popular golf equipment manufacturers. Current golf drivers in production by Titleist include the 909 series, which consists of the Titleist 909DComp driver, the Titleist 909 D2 driver, and the Titleist 909D3 driver.

The Technology Behind Titleist Drivers

Titleist bases the design of its clubs with golf driver improvement and customization in mind. They look at how players deliver the golf driver to impact with the ball. Every player is different based primarily on two different variables: Ball Speed and Attack Angle. Ball speed is typically about 1.5 times your club speed or swing speed. You can learn more about swing speed in our article on “Golf Shaft Section,” which has a swing speed approximation chart as well where to buy a radar device you can use to test your swing speed.

Titleist takes into account that for every ball speed, there is an optimum launch angle and backspin rate that provides maximum distance on golf drives. Launch angle and backspin are determined by your angle of attack and the club head’s launch characteristics.

The angle of attack is the angle of the driver head’s path as it travels towards and makes contact with the golf ball. If you’re a smooth operator, your club head will travel perfectly level with the ground at impact, resulting in a zero angle of attack. A positive angle of attack results when the club head travels below the ball and moves up through impact, whereas a negative angle of attack results from coming down at the ball and moving below it after impact.

It’s important to understand that Titleist has taken into account all of these unique characteristics when designing their latest golf drivers.

The Titleist 909 D Comp Driver offers a high launch angle with low to mid-spin, as well as a composite crown that creates a low and deep center of gravity. The driver also includes optimized packets to reduce vibration upon impact, and delivers a tour validated sound and feel. With the high launch angle the Titleist 909 DComp is specifically designed for players that hit a knuckle ball – in other words, a low launch angle on the ball, making it travel close to the ground, combined with very little ball spin, which would make the ball go up or down. By using the 909DComp you can get additional distance and airtime on your golf drives.

The Titleist 909 D2 Driver is designed to deliver a mid-launch with low to mid ball spin. It also features an internal rib for reduced vibration on impact and provides a pleasing sound and solid feel. The factory installed SureFit Swingweight Screw helps position the center of gravity deep in this Titleist driver while providing a precise match between the head and the shaft of the golf driver.

The Titleist 909 D3 Driver offers a mid launch trajectory with low spin. This design is perfect for players who hit sky balls – those that launch and fly too high and drop down at a steep angle. The Titleist 909 D3 helps you control the ball’s flight trajectory and flatten your drives out to achieve maximum distance. As with the other clubs in the 909 series, the D3 features optimized pockets and an internal rib for reduced vibration on impact, an integrated titanium blind bore hosel design to allow for more shaft options, and the Titleist SureFit Swingweight Screw technology.
