    I was fitted for my Titleist AP2 irons, which had me +2 upright.  I just bought a Titleist 909 D3 Driver, should that be at +2 upright also? If not, why not and what should I do to ensure the club is returning to square on the downswing, increase or decrease shaft length? Thanks.

    The 910D is adjustable to 1.5 upright. 

    You could probably get a fitting with a 910D driver set at standard lie for a fee at Golfmart/Golf Galaxy/Golfsmith/et al.  to determine shaft length and type of shaft best suited. 

    The 909 is not adjustable so you will have to lengthen the shaft with an extender or reshaft it with the length and type of shaft determined in the fitting.

    One thing you can do is take a normal athletic stance for a quick and dirty check on shaft length.  

    The toe should normally point up slightly at address.    If you grip it normally and the toe points down or the sole is flat, the club is too short.  What I do is lay the club down where the toe points slightly up (gripping it loosely with left hand) and then assume my normal stance; if my hand is too close to the butt, it is too short or if I am choking down, it is too long.
