    I tested both the D2 and D3 913's today. Wow! Very hot face, great feel, great sound, and sexy looking. Here's my problem... My miss is a hook. I also play on a course that has several right to left sloped fairways and I am a right handed player. Driving is the weakest part of my game. I have been told by a Titleist rep that the D2 is draw biased. But, I feel like I need it's forgiveness because workable drivers seem to exaggerate my misses. My goal is to hit baby fades because I feel I can control where the ball ends up, yet I seldom accomplish it. I love these drivers but could use some advice from my friends on here. Your thoughts, please! Thanks!

    We have called the 913 D2 "draw biased" because of th CG location, not because of face angle (.5 open) or extra weighting in the heel.  The 913 D2 is less draw biased than the 910D2 because the CG is more forward in the head, but it is more draw biased than the 913 D3 because it's CG is further back than the D3. 

     The further back in the head the CG is located, the more draw biased, forgiving and stable the clubhead.   I hope that makes sense.  It is draw biased in the sense that you will be able to turn the clubhead over easier than with the D3 model.  Give us a call at 1-888-TITLEIST and we would be happy to discuss it and/or recommend a fitter in your area.

    1. I had the same concerns at first too but still ended up ordering the 913D2 head rather than the 913D3.  I currently play the 910D2 with the RIP 60 shaft and my miss is a big hook.  I got my base line numbers with the 910D2 and then compared the 913D2 at Golf Galaxy in Roseville, MN.  Based on the launch monitor, I did not draw or hook the ball any more with the 913D2 than I already did with the 910D2.  I had a little higher ball speed number going from 156 to 159mph and I was able to increase my launch angle from about 8 degrees to 9 degrees when I made the switch from the RIP aplha 60 to the RIP Phenom 70.  Also demoed the 913D3 but I did not feel as comfortable with the shorter heel to toe look because my miss on the club face tends to be towards the toe.  Ordered the 913D2 in 10.5 loft with the Phenom RIP shaft with midsize Golf Pride Multi-Compound grip.

    John,

    Everything you described sounds a lot like my game, including the misses out on the toe.  That is very helpful and I appreciate you taking the time.  I do want to try the RIP 70, but the one they had in the fitting cart was damaged and would not "click" into a clubhead.  The only one I tried was a 60. 

    Thanks again for your thoughts!

    Thank you, Cathi.  That is very helpful info and cleared up my misconception about the face angle.
