The Titleist 910 prototype fairway metals and hybrids made their PGA Tour debut last week at The Barclays, signaling the official start of the seeding and performance-validating process for the 910H and 910F models.Following the lines of the new Titleist 910 prototype driver, the family of 910 fairway metals and hybrids features the same innovative technology including the SureFit Tour Hosel, which allows for precision fitting that was previously only found on Tour Vans.
The introduction of the new 910 prototype fairway metals and hybrids on the PGA Tour is a critical step in the process, as all high performance Titleist-branded golf clubs must be performance-validated by the world's most discerning and influential golfers before being released to the marketplace. Titleist Brand Ambassadors across all worldwide professional tours are instrumental in the performance validation process and many of the pros were anxious to put the new fairway metals and hybrids into play. Titleist Brand Ambassador Jimmy Walker is one player who couldn't wait for the 910 fairway metals and hybrids. Having gamed his Titleist 910D3 9.5 prototype driver for several weeks now, Walker immediately put a 910F 13.5 and a 910H 18.0 in his bag after arriving at The Barclays.
On Saturday, Rickie Fowler used his new 910F 13.5 fairway metal to hit a 274-yard second shot at the 594-yard, par-5 17th hole to 5 feet. Fowler sank the putt, recording one of only three eagles made during the week at No. 17.
Seven other Titleist Brand Ambassadors put the 910 fairway metals and hybrids in their bags this week: Adam Scott (910F 15.0), Jason Dufner (910F 15.0), Bill Haas (910F 13.5), Marc Leishman (910F 13.5), Troy Matteson (910F 13.5), Michael Sim (910F 13.5, 910H 18.0), D.J. Trahan (910F 17.0) and Nick Watney (910F 15.0).

Quick send me one to try out before the snow starts falling in Minnesota!! I love the lines! I need a great 3 iron replacement. (that was a hint by the way!)

I'd be interested in knowing if these new models have a slightly greater head-heavy feel to them. In my opinion, the biggest problem with most fairway metals and, especially, hybrids, is that they feel a bit light at the top of the swing.

Nice Looking Clubs!

I saw a dude at the Boeing Classic with a 910 driver! I'll test for you so you can get an amateur's feedback. LMK.

The club has nice lines and looks attractive. Although I can readily understand why it's there, I'm not a big fan of bottom cavities in clubs because it just becomes an area for debris to collect. Perhaps a light weight cover with a screw boss could at least limit the area where debris can accumulate?

They Look Great, can't wait to try them.

The 910F looks super. I can't wait to hit one. When are they available to us mere mortals?
JET wrote on August 30, 2010 at 9:37PM
They look absolutely beautiful. I presently play Cobra woods and hybrids but will surely try these when they hit the stores.

The new series looks GREAT! Can't wait until the hit the public. Who knows...maybe I would be selected to become a tester / promoter for the 910 series. I think the new all Black is slick!!!

So as an amateur, when will be have the opportunity to try these new models. Will this club be available for the Team Titleist equipment testers?

As a Titleist member and golf instructor, I'm constantly getting bombarded with questions from my students wanting to know which clubs are the best or which one's would be best suited for them. I currently play another brand of woods and hybrids. If ever comes a time where you need honest feedback on your clubs vs. another maufactor, I would be happy to compare yours vs. others.

When will the series be available to the rest of us....Can'i wait.
JET wrote on August 30, 2010 at 9:47PM
Love the look. Looking forward to the release...Thanks Titleist for another great looking club(s).
