New Titleist 917D2 and 917D3 drivers set the standard for complete performance off the tee, providing maximum distance and forgiveness with precise adjustability and Tour validated looks, sound and feel to benefit dedicated golfers at every level.

“When we talk to golfers about driver performance, distance and forgiveness are always paramount,” said Dan Stone, vice president of Titleist Golf Club R&D.

“But they also want a repeatable trajectory, a shot shape they can count on for better accuracy. And they need it to look, sound and feel great. We’re confident that 917 delivers on each and every requirement. There may be other adjustable drivers in the market, but none are able to maximise the total driving performance for golfers of all abilities like 917.”

Titleist 917D2 and 917D3 models, engineered with proprietary Active Recoil Channel 2.0 and SureFit CG technology, are the result of an uncompromising “complete performance” design strategy employed by Titleist Golf Club R&D to develop the industry’s most comprehensive and efficient driver designs – ones that have earned immediate acceptance and validation by many of the world’s best players, including Adam Scott (917D2 9.5º), Bill Haas (917D2 9.5º), Byeong Hun An (917D3 8.5º), Justin Thomas (917D3 9.5º), Charley Hoffman (917D2 8.5º), Scott Piercy (917D2 8.5º), Jason Dufner (917D2 10.5º), Webb Simpson (917D3 10.5º) and Jimmy Walker, who trusted a 917D2 8.5º model to his first major title at the US PGA Championship at Baltusrol.

“I put the 917D2 straight into play. It was definitely faster, had a better sound and feel, and I really loved the shape,” said Jimmy Walker.

Titleist 917 drivers deliver increased ball speed for more distance with superior forgiveness, industry-leading adjustability with optimised trajectory control, and tour-inspired sound and feel through the following key technologies:

  • • Active Recoil Channel (ARC) 2.0, a long, wide, deep sole channel, actively flexes and recoils at impact to launch the ball off the face with higher speed and lower spin for more distance.
  • • Radial Speed Face 2.0, a high-speed forged face insert, is tuned with ARC 2.0 to promote greater off-centre ball speed for more overall distance.
  • • A precise, High-MOI Design, with a low and deep centre of gravity location, delivers stability and forgiveness by preserving off-centre ball speed for more distance, more often.
  • • Titleist’s industry-leading SureFit Hosel and new SureFit CG weight system deliver the ultimate in precision fitting for every player.
  • The proprietary 16-setting SureFit Hosel allows golfers to set loft and lie independently to optimise ball flight for improved shot control and maximum distance.

“The combined power of the SureFit hosel and SureFit CG takes us to another level in terms of optimising spin and maximising distance potential,” said Dan Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club R&D.

“We’ve seen through our extensive player testing that when you determine the appropriate CG for a player, the club squares up and times up more consistently for them. They hit the centre of the face more often, they gain club head speed and ball speed, and their shot dispersion tightens significantly. “What’s also notable is that because of those results and that feeling of being dialled in, we’re seeing players gain more confidence and swing more aggressively, which creates even more ball speed and more distance.”
