Spotted: Titleist 915 Fairway Woods and Hybrids
Titleist’s new 915 fairway woods and hybrids were spotted today at the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone CC, just one month after the Titleist 915D drivers were spotted on tour at the Quicken Loans National.
Titleist is mum on the details of the new clubs, but we can tell from the photos that there will be two new fairway woods: a 915F and a lower-spinning 915F.d. There will also be two new hybrids: a 915H and a lower-spinning 915H.d.
On the tech side, the entire 915 line of drivers, fairway woods and hybrids have adjustable hosels and slots on the front of their soles that likely increase ball speed and forgiveness, particularly on shots hit off-center.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball
Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.
View this post on Instagram
We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.

I just hit both the F as well as the FD last week, It’s stock shaft is an Aldila Rogue in FD and Diamana S+ in the F version.

The clubs look to be technologically advanced over previous Titleist models, but the paint-fill looks like it was done by an inexperienced counterfeiter. Hopefully the production model looks much more refined.
Tom Johnson

These clubs looks cheap and dorky. I hope they perform better than they look. Not impressed.

Don’t just a book by it’s cover. I have hit the full line of 915 metals. I gained 17 yards of carry over my 913 D2 and I dropped my spin rate by 700 RPM’s. The 915F and 915H were easer to hit and launched higher off of the deck with less spin. I hit all of 915’s with the same shafts and I have in my 913.

So they pretty much took the Adams XTD sole design and gave it a much improved paint job…great!
Bert Macklin
Jul 30, 2014 at 10:48 am
The new alignment marker is GARBAGE. Hot, broiled garbage.
I do not understand the move away from the standard mark. It looks like a rough draft sketch, or a knockoff. Everything else about these things looks sleek and refined, and then you’ve got a spooge mark on top of the club. Ridiculous.
That said, I can’t wait to hit them.
Mike
Jul 30, 2014 at 8:54 am
Interesting that they’re going back to club numbers while still including the loft on the hosel.

Are yall really comparing Taylormade to Titleist???? At least Titleist doesn’t come out with new clubs every six months. Taylormade has to buy players Titleist doesn’t, players come to them. Taylormade is a joke in my opinion. Top Pro golfs leave Titleist bc they go for the money. Titleist knows players will come to them so they dont have to worry.

Phil Michelson used to be with Titleist. Now He’s with Callaway. Last year in a tournament he was gaming a TM SLDR driver (well documented) that was painted over so as not to be identified. If he wanted to “step out” on his brand why didn’t he use the Titleist?

Do you really believe that players “come” to titlest? They are paying guys just like every mfg. You really think a player turns down dollars to play their equipment?? Doesn’t happen.

Absolutely brainwashed comment. The Phil comment says it all!

Oh my Dear Lord. 913 f or 913h has better look than 915f or 915h. They also follow what taylormade do. Front c.g and I can’t see the defreny between the f.d with f or h with h.d. that can make customers confused. Haha but will see wich one is good. But because the looks. Nooo

Titleist doing the low/forward CG with a slot? Looks like my TaylorMades just got validated. Loft Up+
MHendon
Jul 29, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Not sure where your getting the low/forward CG from, there’s no mention of that in the article but Titleist has always offered two models one with the CG farther back and one with it more forward. Plus the slot innovation or channel what ever you want to call it was being done by Nike and Adams before Taylormade. So no real credit to Taylormade on either one of those.
MHendon
Jul 29, 2014 at 11:30 am
I think what these clubs show us along with everything else on the market is how worthless a patent is.
paul
Jul 29, 2014 at 8:18 am
Pretty. Slot make ball go farther is a good thing. Even if its copying everyone else.
Mark

I liked this club when it was called compression channel and it was made by nike three years ago.
Steve
Jul 28, 2014 at 11:43 pm
Adams created the compression channel. Nike and innovation don’t even belong in the same sentence when it comes to golf equipment.
Robert G
Jul 29, 2014 at 9:48 am
Nike don’t belong? Please, Nike Covert and Covert 2.0 are some of the best woods made the last few years. Run the numbers against all the others, they beat out just about everyone.
RogerinNZ
Jul 29, 2014 at 3:41 pm
Robert, he said Nike AND Innovation,
Meaning they don;t invent, just refine.
I was at a TV sales presentation in 1989.
The speaker kept saying we were First with this
and that etc.All we wanted was the V2 or V3,like software !
Covert 2 are Great not Covert 1!
Smart move by Titleist to adopt whats newer and WORKS!
I liked my VR Tour !

I have a set of 1979 Ben Hogan apex Director Irons& woods and the woods have a “speed slot” whittled into the sides and bottom

Disappointing from titleist, nothing new or special. Hopefully performance speaks for itself. Anyone know when titleist will release 915 line?
JJ Man
Jul 29, 2014 at 11:46 am
Played with a clup pro who is playing in the PGA, so Titleist sent him the 915 – said he picked up 20 yards with it with same shaft
mhendon
Jul 29, 2014 at 6:50 pm
If he picked up 20 yards then his old driver was either persimmon or had a crack in the face. I don’t buy that for a second.
Regis
Jul 30, 2014 at 11:33 am
He lost me with the “I have a friend” intro only to be followed by a club pro playing “in the PGA”
BcavWecllh
Jul 30, 2014 at 11:36 am
Agreed. Do people realize how hard it is to pick up 20 yards?
DK
Jul 30, 2014 at 12:38 pm
Not that hard if you’re playing an old Titleist driver. If these new metals are significantly less spinning it’s possible…
MHendon
Jul 30, 2014 at 5:32 pm
That was kind of my point DK, but he’s a club pro so I doubt he was gaming anything much more than a year old.
Mateo
Jul 28, 2014 at 7:17 pm
Yes please. 910’s were amazing. Still using them.
913’s weren’t very good.
Can’t wait to try these.

Adams was first i believe which is why taylormade bought adams and then threw up on the brand. But anyway who cares i think they look slick im a ping guy but will definitely sample the kool aid . High five ! how much ?
Steve
Jul 28, 2014 at 11:45 pm
Funny, Ping is who it looks to me like they are trying awfully hard to mimic. i series fairways/hybrids look suspiciously similar.
mhendon
Jul 29, 2014 at 6:54 pm
Actually they look suspiciously like the 913’s which looked suspiciously like the 910’s which where on the market before the Ping I series of woods you’re comparing them to.
mhendon
Jul 28, 2014 at 6:35 pm
Here’s hoping Titleist goes back to more traditional none adjustable woods and hybrids.
ng
Jul 29, 2014 at 12:38 pm
The cycle will come around. A new line of clubs every 2 years means it may be back sooner than you think.
Red
Jul 29, 2014 at 2:11 pm
I dont know if it will happen the adjustable heads just make it too easy to fit more golfers
John
Jul 30, 2014 at 2:18 pm
better hope for a sleeve of balata balls and a chance encounter with Doc Brown, in that case.
MHendon
Jul 30, 2014 at 11:29 pm
I’ll pass on the balata’s, I’m some what of a traditionalist but I’m not crazy. lol
