As many Titleist Brand Ambassadors start their journey to the 2012 AT&T National, they’ll have a nice surprise waiting of for them on the range of Congressional Country Club – new prototype Titleist 913 drivers.
And we’re excited to be bringing Team Titleist a sneak peek of what’s in store for this week.
Starting Monday morning, our Titleist Tour Reps will be in full force working closely with Titleist players in the field to check all of the build specs and SureFit Tour hosel settings to help players get dialed-in with the new prototype 913 drivers for testing.
This marks the official introduction of the new drivers on the PGA Tour and kicks off the tour seeding and performance validation process that all Titleist clubs go through prior to being released in the market.
The Titleist Golf Club R&D team will also be on-site to walk through some of the new technology and advancements that players will see in the prototype 913 drivers. They’ll also be taking note of the feedback from the player testing as this will influence the design and specifications of the final product that is made available to golf shops around the world.
In case you were wondering, “913” is the series designation for the new family of drivers. Titleist continues to release metals under the 900 number designation with the “9” standing for metals and the “13” indicating the new model year, 2013.
As the tour seeding and performance validation process continues in the coming weeks across the worldwide professional tours, we’ll continue to share more behind-the-scenes information and product details here on the Team Titleist.
In the meantime, check out the slideshow below for a first look at the new prototype Titleist 913 drivers as they were being built and packed for their trip to Washington D.C. (and a few player’s homes).

Well it looks to me like the Green DOT weight is 7 grams. Can club builders get access to these weights to help fit players?

As usual, a beautiful looking thunder stick from Titlleist. Can't wait to get more details on the weights and their functionality. Still own and use my 909D. Love that club, but I may be due for an upgrade. :-)

This looks cool I just hope it's not too expensive so people can afford it.

All you idiots going on about weights being a new thing- if you lift your 910 up and look at the sole there is a weight there. and you can buy additional weights, from 2 to 12 grams. the standard weight is 7 grams (red dot). the only difference in the new club is the shape of the weight, which for me makes it look a bit Callaway-ish, specially with the red paint. I see no need to upgrade.

It still has the Surefit adapter on the sleeve and it is designed to be faster with a faster face,lower spin, = longer yards thats really it

I am a true fan of Titleist since 1995. All the clubs in my bag are Titleist including my trusty Scotty Cameron Putter. I would buy it as soon as it became available but need to caution all your guys to be careful with the shaft selection. I tried 5 shafts on my 910D3 before settling on Aldila Voodoo RIP 60. Most of my buddies have Mitsubishi Diamana on them. I may want to try the Tour AD shaft on it too. I expect this driver to be available for general consumer like me by November or January next year. My swing speed dropped significantly after U turn 55, may have to choose a regular shaft for my 913..lol!
Id appreciate if Titleist could provide me with the update of the availability on this driver. Thank you.
