    3 questions so I figured I'd list them all in one thread. I'm a 3 handicapper but in terms of equipment and technology I'm not a pro...

    1. I just put the 910 D2 driver with 9.5 loft and Diamana 'ahina 72 low-mid shaft in my bag this season. The 913 looks amazing. What are going be the differences between what I have now and the 913? How will it improve my game? Are there any new shaft options?

     

    2. What's the best way to determine which bounce should I have on my 52-56-60? I know one thing to consider it the type of turf I play, but besides my home course I play in tournaments with courses that have all sorts of different firmness. I can't afford to have multiple wedges with different bounces. How do I find what would be best for myself?

    3. I love hitting 3 iron off tee's when driver or 3 wood isn't necessary. I'd like to have a little more length though than what I get with my 3 iron. I want to replace my r11 5wood because I find it's a better club off the mat than off the tee. I'm thinking maybe switch to the titleist 910 series 5 wood. Is the 910F or 910Fd solid clubs off the tee. What I'm really thinking of do now though is replacing my 5 wood with the 910h hybrid which wuld most resemble the length of a 2 iron. Any suggestions for what I just said??

     If the 910F does what you want it to do, don't change it.

    52-08, 56-11 and 60-07 cover most courses.   I play AP1 irons so I use SM c-c 50-08 and 54-14, and SM4 60-10 all bent 1* strong.   The advantage of the 60-10 vs the 60-07 is that you can play it in deep greenside bunkers with soft sand (you have to do a dig shot in hard or wet sand); I think the 60-10 is more versatile vs the 60-07 .   I can play the 54-14 off a tight lie because of the narrow sole but I use a digging shot on tight lies; I also use it in very soft sand and it has a little more "intestinal fortitude" vs the 56.

    I love my 910F 19* fairway wood and got it in a trade for a Superfast 1.0 5W and 4H.   I have it set at C3 for best performance.   As far as replacing the 5W with an equivalent hybrid, don't get overcome with the hybrid hype - best thing to do is compare them side by side.   This is a personal preference.  I hit a 5W the same distance as a 17* hybrid and 10 more yards vs a 19* hybrid and I find it easier to hit.
