• Redesigning the adapter to look smaller and so when you adjust it the shaft and grip will not rotate, just the adapter.

Similar to what Honma/Beres came up with 2 years ago?

Maybe even targeted towards players under the age of 100!

How do they make the Surefit smaller/thinner or whatever for the 913, but at the same time still compatible with the 910 shafts?

Just guessing, but they could do that by using stronger/better materials that let them streamline it.

In essence, your shaft could 'work' with it, but it will look a little odd with the shaft part protruding farther on the sides than the head part.  It could be compatible mechanically, not so much aesthetically.

The surefit size only bothers me on my hybrid, I'm interested to see how they improve upon the 910 though. Would titleist really let the club mechanically fit, but aesthetically be displeasing to the eye? I would lean towards no.

Titleist would never half a** it like that.  The only way the 910 shafts will remain compatible is if they keep the hosel system the same.  There's no way they'd want people out there playing a driver or fairway wood with a 910 shaft that has a larger diameter than the clubs hosel.  Cobra kept their adjustment system from the ZL, hopefully Titleist does the same.

I agree. An ugly hosel would make the brand look bad. It would be great if they offered the smaller head in a traditional hosel.

Worst thing about the 910 D3 (hope you are reading this Titleist) is the head cover.  That thing is tough to put on.  I like the 909 D3 better and the simple, magnetized open and shut head cover is completely superior.  Take a hint Titleist.  Do something better for your 912 or 913 head cover. When I game the 910, I use a different head cover unless I forget it.  I would rather put a competitor's head cover on my 910 than Titleist's.  The second worst thing is the tinny feeling face.  You may think the springy sounding face is giving you a bit more distance but I much prefer the feel and distance of a more dense feeling head.  I have high hopes for the 912 or 913.

[amrivew]

913? Half the Titleist staff on your are still playing 909's, then again, maybe that's why they need the 913...

I say keep the sock style headcover. The magnet style doesnt protect the shafts from getting that deep rub spot from certain bag.

I want a real motore speeder shaft offering. Maybe a Kuro Kage and VTS.

They were cool looking and quick, but they didn't protect the shaft from rubbing on the bag. Over time my paint on the shaft wore completely off in a 1 inch area.

[rc1111]

I do wish the magnet covers were longer and extended into the bag.  I understand that complain for some.  The sock is not like other socks.  It is just too tight to easily pull off and put back on.  For some reason I don't like to put the butt of the club on my shoe or on the ground so I can hold the sock with both hands to slide it over the driver head.  Maybe I just got a super tight sock, but it is a pain.

I got my 909 right when they came out and I use a carry stand type bag (the Titleist label on a Sun Mountain bag) but most of the time it is on the back of a golf cart or standing up at the range.  My driver shaft shows no signs of wear so it must be a combination of the magnet cover and only certain bags.

I'm pretty sure no head cover will compare to my old R5's head cover. That thing needed a shoehorn to get on!

I have complained about that from day one. I like the sock look and the head cover works fine on my hybrid and 3 wood, but it requires more time and effort to put on that headcover. It is nice that they went back to the sock, but make the opening a little bigger for goodness sake.

[kakashi54]

I think the 910 headcover is the best looking out only old men like my dad cant get it off.

As someone who absolutely loves the 910s, I would love to see:

-flat black top
-less crown chipping
-more shaft choices
-All adjustments done by collar so that the shaft and grip can be permanently aligned one way.
-independent face angle/loft/lie adjustability. (right now I like some of the ways the club sets up, but wish I could change the face angle too)
-Make the hosel a bit thinner, it still looks a little fatter than I prefer
-Fix the alignment markings.  I would prefer something more simple than what we have now, the line never really looks straight when the face does to me.

Flat black top would be nice, as for crown chipping maybe using a headcover would help or stop hitting it off the top, shaft choices??? Titleisthas the most shaft choices for any OEM out there the is 90+ options available and other off menu shafts available too.

As for adjustments the 910 lines does face angle and lie already. Loft is effective based on face angle and that will always be the case because you can't change the actual loft on a driver by bending it, the only way would be to file down the face or something.

Hosel thinner and lighter would be very very nice and a dual ring like the callawaytour authentic so the shaft stays the same way all the time would be great.

Alignment mark doesn't bother me as its been virtually the same since the 975 line.

The shaft damage I have had and have seen is more the fault of Sun Mountain bags. The liner material they use is just rough enough to wear the paint off the shaft if the head covers don't protect.

One problem I did have with the several 909 head covers I owned was the magnets would eventually fall out of alignment (there are three on each side) and the cover would barely stay on. Once the magnets start sliding around they won't align properly.

Are people here serious?!?! Too "tough to put on"? It's a driver head cover for Pete's sake. You take it off & put it back on 14 or less time a round. I can make a video of my wife taking off & putting my 910D2 head cover, if needed

It's there to protect the head & shaft. therefore, I prefer sock covers over magnets any day of the week.

[scratchswinger]

This thread has turned into the pre-release I20 iron thread. Instead of pages of talk on if it should have a ferrule we are talking about Headcovers. They could put a tube sock on it for all I care.

[jmoney3hundo]

Real talk! I want details on what their offering versus what head cover Titleist should use. Hopefully the 913 has a head/shaft combo available like the 7.5 905S! Something stupid low spin and howitzer long. The 910D3 is long but there are much longer options available... Much looooonger!

[Big Ben]

It will not be better than the 910D3, I just don't see it, this driver has been incredible for me...BB

[Oneoverwrx]

Im sure titleist will find a way to improve the 910. I love my 910 so I'll probably wait until next year to buy the new 913.

[JM24]

I'm wondering how they will try to improve on the stock shaft options?  Right now, their offerings are superb with the 'ahina being a monster.  I played with reps (both pretty good players) from Titleist and FJ this week and they both played stock shafts in their D2s.  That tells me something since they have access to almost anything they want.

Personally it tells me the shaft fits them and they are being good reps... selling the product they have. It's only a beast if you have mechanics and it fits.

I also highly doubt Titleist is going to offer any shafts that are wildly different than what they currently offer. Why would they jack up the price or loose money?

I just don't think they have the financial option to improve the shafts. Titleist will probably only make lateral moves.
