Driver Fitting

High launch. Low spin. Maximum ball velocity. These are the ingredients to maximize driving distance and the performance deliverables built into Titleist drivers. A FittingWorks Driver Fitting takes that general advice and uses industry-leading fitting methods to determine each golfer's ideal launch conditions based upon their ball speed and style of play.

Step 1: Test Baseline Conditions

By observing your current trajectory and performance the fitter can determine potential areas for improvement by comparing your ball flight to proprietary aerodynamic contour plots developed by Titleist Golf Ball Research & Development.

Through your feedback and observations, the fitter will learn more about your preferred ball flight, curvature, and tendencies. Typical questions a fitter may ask include:

---

Do you hit fairways with your current driver?	On well struck shots, which way do your shots curve?
Are you comfortable with this shot shape?	On poorly struck shots, which way do your shots curve?

Step 2: Select the Proper 907 Model and Fit for Length

Model Selection

Each Titleist driver model has specific ball flight attributes as well as aesthetic differences. The fitter will help determine which model represents the best choice for each individual golfer.

The 907D1 is a multi-material 460cc driver with a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) for increased distance with forgiveness and outstanding playability. Its triangle geometry is more efficient and achieves maximum USGA/R&A geometry.

The 907D2 is a multi-material 460cc driver with an enhanced MOI for increased distance with workability and shot control.

Length Fitting

The ideal driver length will be determined by the player's ability to hit the center of clubface. By selecting a length that encourages on-center hits, better trajectory control and greater distance will be attained. The most common length driver on the PGA Tour is 45" followed closely by 44 ½".

Step 3: Optimize Launch Angle and Backspin

The ideal launch angle varies according to ball speed and involves some degree of player preference and adaptation to local conditions. Our fitters are equipped with charts and graphs developed by the Titleist Golf Ball Research & Development that accurately determine optimal ball flight at many different ball speeds.

LAUNCH ANGLE

The angle at which the golf ball leaves the club face in relation to the ground at impact. Launch angle can be visually identified during the first half of ball flight.

Club loft, shaft properties, and club impact location have a great effect upon launch conditions and the fitter will adjust these variables to maximize performance.

Step 4: Summarize

Based upon the results from your driver testing the fitter will prescribe the ideal driver and will emphasize the key factors that lead to that decision. The selected driver will provide launch conditions that optimize ball flight and control while delivering maximum distance.
