I think the 910 line of drivers, FW's and hybrids are very good clubs. I was looking over the racks at GG on Sunday and guess which one was lacking the most in clubs? The 910 D2 drivers. There was a whole one left. There could be numerous reasons for this but every other driver was in stock with plenty to choose from so I had to wonder.

At the same time I see more TM drivers at Sports Authority and Edwin Watts (sadly my 2 best choices for golf equipment in town now) and we know those are selling the most. Sometimes stores just don't restock stuff that doesn't sell as much. I have no doubt the Titleist sells good. The numbers show it. But I don't think they're appealing to the GI segment which is honestly a huge chunk of the demographic. Most weekend golfers want a magic club that uses pulleys and weights to keep them on plane and makes solid contact regardless of swing flaws. The whole "draw bias" in drivers is built on that premise.

The AP1's just aren't as forgiving an iron for a high handicapper as some other offerings I've hit. I'm starting to shoot in the 80's regularly after two years of playing and I wouldn't touch those now. I just have too many off center and fat shots that wouldn't go anywhere with those. But based on what I can see Titleist is most trying to appeal to the better golfers out there so I'm sure that doesn't bother them.
