    My 915 D2 that I was fitted for is 9.5 degrees fitted with a Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 60 reg shaft. I've recently read that higher lofts are becoming more popular in the TS2's because of the makeup of the head. Has anyone experienced this and changed from a 9.5 to say a 10.5. and either had the same or better results.

    Hi Rich,

    I will let you know that I also went from the 915D2 to the TS driver but opted for the TS3. My 915d2 was an 8.5 degree and I did move to a 9.5 degree on the TS3. I have gained about 8 yards on average with a slightly faster swing and ball speed. I wouldnt make any changes without going in and getting fit for what works best for you but dont shy away from the higher lofts at all.

    Hope this helps.

    Titleist recently posted a video on the experiences of Adam Scott and Charles Howell, III. Adam moved to a higher loft, while CH3 went to a lower loft. In general the pros are increasing loft as the COG has moved further down and back in the head and the balls have a more controlled spin off of metals. While a trend, there is still individual variation that a fitter can work on. I've always had 12 degree Titleist drivers but had to go to 10.5 degrees (LH golfer) with the TS-1. Between the head weight and shaft characteristics, I have not lost any launch, perhaps even gained some. I can't hit over the center of the face without ballooning. I haven't ruled out using the Tensai Blue shaft from my 12 degree TS-2. But I've had my longest drives with the TS-1 this year. It's all individual.

    I don't own a TS driver but tested a 8.5 degree TS3 for a week and was surprised how easily it got the ball airborn. Ball flight was a bit higher than my 9.5 degree gamer. Tested a TS2 10.5 and ball flight was way too high. So my experience is the TS line hits the ball higher than some others.
