The Northern Irishman is one of a growing number of players who have recently added the new Titleist 913 driver to their bag, for the record he led the PGA Championship field with an average drive of 311.5 yards using the new D3.
The 913 uses the same SureFit Tour (SFT) adjustable hosel as the 910 but, Titleist say, has more speed, more distance and more performance. Starting with the speed it does this via a new insert and therefore a faster face.

Now the 913 has a thicker centre piece and then thins it back down away from the centre. The result is that it delivers maximum ball speed over a bigger area than Titleist have designed before ie your mishits will go further. The cheap 913 d3 driver has a smaller 445cc head but it won’t intimidate the life out of a higher-handicap player. In truth the differences between the two models aren’t vast.
More distance and performance is achieved through better launch conditions and this is all down to something called the neutral axis and this is the key variable when designing a driver.

The cheap 913 d2 driver features a 460cc full-pear shaped head designed for maximum forgiveness and a slight draw bias, while the 913D3 has a 445cc classic-pear shape that is forgiving with tour-inspired workability. Unlike the 910 series, both D2 and D3 models now provide the same launch and spin characteristics to provide maximum fitting flexibility.
Ideally you would love the centre of gravity (CG) of the clubhead to be on this axis as that represents maximum energy transfer. That is the perpetual pursuit and why the 913 will perform better than its predecessor.
