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.

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)
MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype
MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.
Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype
We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.
Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS
Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.
Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2
This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.
Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype
This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.
Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.
The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.
Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.
Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!

What kind of shaft is in the FD?
Dylan

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.

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.
Regis
Jul 30, 2014 at 11:30 am
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?
BcavWecllh
Jul 30, 2014 at 11:34 am
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.
NG
Jul 30, 2014 at 5:52 pm
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.

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 !

Jeff Daschel
Jul 31, 2014 at 9:27 pm
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.

Jul 28, 2014 at 9:10 pm
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.

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

better hope for a sleeve of balata balls and a chance encounter with Doc Brown, in that case.
