D2 driver reviews

In addition, the D2 removable pentagon shape rear weight is larger than the previous circular D2 weight. The Titleist Tour Velvet degree rubber grip is the standard grip available with the D2 driver. Overall, a fantastic club to look at. The D2 feels balanced in address and throughout the swing. The removable weight allows you to control the weight of the club head.

Adjust the swing weight by purchasing individual weights or the SureFit Tour Weight Kit that includes 4, 7, 9, 11 and 14 gram interchangeable weights. Over the last few years, many drivers produced a loud or high pitch sound at impact. The Titleist D2 feels very solid at impact with a crisp, yet dull sound at impact.

The D2 clubface feels firm at impact on sweet shots or off center hits. The club feels great throughout the swing and allows you to alter the swing weight for a personalized feel. I tested the Titleist D2 in a 9. All shots were hit in the A-1 SureFit position and standard weight. The D2 is very easy to play and favors a slight draw bias. Generally the D2 is extremely forgiving and delivers a straight ball flight, a solid carry distance with a mid to high ball trajectory.

With my normal shot pattern straight to slight fade, I was surprised to hit a shot pattern that was straight to slight draw. The D2 is forgiving and easy to hit, however, still offers the ability to work the ball. Most players will probably enjoy the ability to keep the ball on fairway with the D2.

All stock shafts were tested with a stiff shaft and a Titleist D2 driver in the standard A-1 SureFit position and standard weight. It did not disappoint. In fact, ball trajectory was more on the low side. With the low ball flight, carry distance was average at best. The overall average fell somewhere between he and I which shows the overall the consistency of the club to be very solid. With Titleist drivers, distance is seldom, if ever a concern.

We expected the club to be long, but what we found most surprising was how easy it was to keep the ball in play — even for higher handicap golfers. Some talked about the all black design. Some talked about the traditional shape. Some mentioned the understated graphics, but almost all agreed that the Titleist is one of the best looking drivers on the market today. Those 10s and all the 9s , more than made up for the low score a single 7.

Though not perfect, overall our testers rated the sound highly. There were more 7s on our surveys, and fewer 10s, but when the results were tallied, the prevailing sentiment is that the Titliest driver sound pretty darn good. Unlike last time around, it seems our testers had a much better sense of what the realities were when comparing perceived distance to our actual data.

As with distance, perceived accuracy ratings were more or less in line with the actual data we collected. The Titleist , however, may be the exception, as once again, we think our testers were spot on in their evaluations. Do you feel it performs consistently from shot to shot? Sometimes we think our testers buy into the extreme fringes of some of the marketing that is out there.

No club is going to produce dead straight shots for every swing. Still, our testers seem to believe that the Titleist performed well enough. LOP consistently returns the lowest score of any of the questions we ask in our subjective survey. While in most categories, proves to be the average, Likelihood of Purchase seems to consistently return results in the low 70s. While there were a couple of 4s there always are , we also received a couple of 10s which is highly unusual for this category.

Before we even started testing with the Titleist D2 , we were reasonably confident that it would prove to be a very solid offering for above average players. What really surprised us is how well our higher handicap golfers were able to keep the ball in play with this club from a manufacturer who has a reputation for producing product almost exclusively for more accomplished players.

By every reasonable measure it performed admirably in our tests, and did so across a range of handicaps. Tony is the Editor of MyGolfSpy where his job is to bring fresh and innovative content to the site.

I bought this driver a few months ago. But the performance that comes with this driver is still superb! There is simple no need to buy the latest driver in Get this one instead.

Save you money and use the saving to play more games. Got my longest drive with this driver assisted by down slope though. Hate to say this, oldie but a Goodie!!! Guys, get one today! Here is the long and short of it from a high handicapper trying to knock off some strokes.

The D2 immediately lowered my score from the get go. I am not saying this is a magic driver that will take away crappy hooks and slices after all mishits are mishits. That is, by the way, with the standard 2 gram weight in the heel.

As I had quite a slice with my Cobra , I set the club at B2 standard loft-light draw , and was shocked when I started hitting the ball straight as an arrow, with just a touch of fade when I came outside in.

My opinion? Go test drive this club and if you are a high handicapper choke down a bit and let her rip! You will not be disappointed. My opinion is to go and demo this club! Im in my 15 month of learning golf. I have been through 6 drivers. I found a 2nd hand D2 and been using it for 4 months. It came with a stiff project x shaft which i change straight away to a reg project x. I was being silly and broke that shaft.

It looks worn out and old. I am now hitting at best and many around I will stick with this one because I am not looking for more distance, just fairways. Went with the 9. Not an advanced test by any means, but had an experienced fitter watch me hit balls with my own stick Callaway FT5 Draw 9.

From that, his eye was able to suggest my ball flight was quite high, with a fade being my typical shape and a slice sneaking in occasionally. Tried the Callaways and Pings, with some dispersion. Step up the D2. Tried the mid kick point shaft firstly, and had a relatively high flight. Set this to C2 lie a bit upright to promote a draw, loft lowered to 8. Was scorching a powerful, slight draw exactly where I aimed 3 times out of 4. Flight really powerful, accuracy was pleasing and distance wise it looked good.

Plus that flight will give me plenty of run. As I improve as a golfer, I can adjust this to match a new shape. This doesn't look like a human submission. Thanks for subscribing!
