Because of it I bought a D2 … with Zcom six shaft! I gainned more 20 yards! I am a 10 handicap and played for the past 1. The Zcom Six shaft Stiff is awsome! Great Combo. You should give this a try and I believe you do not want to comeback to previous driver! I have never had formal lessons or instruction, so 20 years of bad habits needed to be broken. Before this weekend, I had a horrible slice and could not figure out how to correct it — and when it did go straight, I could drive for — yards.
So now, it was 3 days, 36 holes and hundreds of range balls to get used to the adjustments. So, I got fitted for a set of Ping Rapture green dots. The trick was the driver. I really wanted to like the Ping driver. Or even the Taylor Made R series driver. But, the stats were only so-so. With both of those clubs, here were the stats:. And then, the golf pro said he wanted me to try the Titleist D1. Ick…is all I could say when I looked at the club. And then I started smacking some range balls.
This club made me look good. The feel was solid, but soft; crushing but smooth; interesting crack and whoosh sound when swung: I fell in love! I played 18 holes with the driver and have never hit the ball straighter or farther in all of my life.
I was so happy; I just had to buy the sucker. All of my clubs had to be special ordered stiffer, longer, fluffier grips, etc. It is forgiving and ball crushing at the same time. I have never been more pleased with a club in all of my life. Here are the stats using the D And do not forget, I am just your average ordinary golfer!!!
Bought a d2 Great reviews and great insight. I have been playing the D2 now for about a month and a half. I really am impressed with not only the feel and distance that the driver offers but also the fact that I can work it a little bit when needed.
I just received my D2 from a great ebay purchase and played it through the three day labor day weekend. I am a mid-teens handicap and compared with the the R I have been playing, the D2 suits me better. More consistency less spin and better distance with what feels to be lighter club.
All good since I am 55 years old. On my 18th hole monday my drive went on a straight away fairway. I will stick with this driver for awhile. Thanks Titleist. I am a 15 and am capable of playing much worse than that. I shot a 39 on that 9 holes, only done that once before. Freaking cast your doubts aside and try it. Well, I thought the R was a pretty sweet driver….
This puppy is much easier to hit and has all the playbility of the R. So, if you have a titleist and are wondering, well should I drop the coin? I say go for it, look for a deal or wait till next spring when it comes down some more…but it is the best driver I have hit to date. Thanks Erik, I would have passed on buying this had I not read your reivew….. I played 9 with a D1 9. I did the same with the D1 and it stayed a little straighter than my I went ahead and started full swings and found great results.
There was a distance benefit due to a straighter ball flight. Nice low trajectory. I shoot between 95 and and I think this is helping me plenty. I have a D1 and love it.
First time I hit the driver I laughed in amazement at the distance I got. I poke the ball at average yds. I have just put So far, I can still miss it left, and still able to cut it too, but both those only result from truly poor swings.
I did get fit for this combination on a launch monitor, my first time on one, and was surprised my swing speed was still up around mph. This D1 when hit well hardly feels like anything is coming off the club, just whoosh and gone, and wow, it really is long. Hit two drives out of the driving range today over , and it was quite cool temperature with a side wind.
I have a 9. The driver came with the factory shaft, which was nothing special. I put in a Harrison 2. I gained an additional 30 yards plus I cant miss a fairway. I am a 15 handicap who was using a Hit it short, but was always in play. Relied on my short game to mame up for my lack of distance. I demoed the D1 and found mysel consistently yards closer to the green off the tee, withou losing any accuracy. Suddenly, I was on or around the green in regulation on almost every hole.
Bought the demo. Am looking forward to a summer on the course for more than just the exercise. It was a And the regular shaft I thought would be too whippy, but it was just perfect. I am testing a It flights low when I try to draw the ball but quite high when I fade it. Distance seems good. I do notice some loss of distance on off center shots.
Does anyone know anything about this shaft? Great reviews,only place i go to to look up reviews. I am a 12 handicap golfer 15 years old. I do not struggle slicing the ball but i have no idea if i want the d1 or d2! The d1 does have bad looks and the d2 looks better and sounds better. Im stuck between these two and i know d1 forgiveness and d2 forgiveness with workability but my question is, is the d1 that more forgiving than the d2 or is it a big difference of forgiveness between the two?
Club head is very forgiving and sends the ball deep. It allows you to work the ball when you want and is straight when you want straight. Paired with the 76g V2 shaft I think it is still the best driver made.
Ben, must agree with Mark. Same thinking. Go with D2, dont mess with the D1. Look and feel of D2 is far better, it sounds better and you will not give up any real forgiveness. If you are truly a 12 handicap, you need the D2 not a D1. Find ways to work your Tee shot not ways to get more forgiveness. Also that 76g V2 shaft is awesome. But study those shafts and get the correct one for YOU, a fitter can help and they DO make a difference verses the standard off the shelf rack shaft.
Should i consider buying the d1 or d2, or should i spend the extra money, which is a lot, and buy the d comp? I am a 12 handicap, and i just want a driver that hits straight with some forgiveness. The d1 and dcomp are high moi drivers for titleist and ive heard they hit straight.
But is the d comp worth spending the extra money? Or is the d1 just as good and long? I have been a professional golfer since April of I myself carried TaylorMade from driver-PW. Needless to say my shots scattered left and right, trajectory was dependent on how open the club face was;thus,I had NO consistency.
VERY frustrating. The sound the club makes is second to none and if you hit it off center you will know right away with 2 results; 1. The ball does not go straight! If the club head looks and feels right- get a great shaft put in, and you will have the best driver you could ever imagine! Think about this-ANY touring pro will switch clubs for money as long as they can keep their shafts! Good luck and hit them straight! So people who have hit both the d1 and d2, did you notice that the d1 was more forgiving than the d2?
Or is the d1 just not as forgiving as titleist says. Was there a big difference between the d1 and d2 of forgiveness? Hey erik, great reviews on everything. But i am a 12 handicap who is a decent driver of the golf ball with no slices, it just that i miss to the toe a bit more than i would like.
Did you feel like the d1 gave you more forgiveness than the d2? How did the two drivers compare in terms of feel? Did you feel like titleist did not do a good job with the d1 vs the d2? But with the d1 it seemed like you thought it was just another driver out there but nothing impressive and bad sound.
Of course it did. It felt better than some of the square drivers maybe all of them , but not as good as a standard driver. Thank you for your response erik, and so sudden. Clubs these days are expensive and I dont want to buy the wrong one. Thanks again erik. So erik, if you had a decision between the d1 or the d comp which would you pick? Im a 12 handicap and i want forgiveness from nothing else than titleist.
Both the d1 and d comp are targeted to the mid capper, but is the d comp better in feel, length, etc. The d1 is. Share More sharing options Followers 0. Recommended Posts.

I guess due to Covid precautions they kept the spectators pretty far from the players. Also due to camera restrictions they've put in place, I wasn't able to bring the big lens like I normally do.
Hopefully they'll ease up on the ropes and I'll be able to get more pics tomorrow! I would upgrade to a better driver but I am afraid the new one will not be as good. There are times I wish I could hit a fade but just can't. I have had the D1 for several years and just love it. The look, the sound and the feel! Has the Aldila VS Proto stiif and performs great Thank you Titliest!
Coming from a 2 year old hardly used Nike SQ,. This Titleist D1 is one of the best drivers I've ever hit. Don't be fooled, this driver is a long hitter. I hit probably the longest drive of my life with in on my first day of using it. Although driving is not one of the more consistent parts of my game, it has become a lot more consistent with this driver.
If you cannot hit your SQ, do yourself a favour and try this driver. In fact I love it so much I'm starting to look to Titleist for other clubs too now. I'm thinking of replacing my irons with Titleist and getting a Titleist rescue club, which I can hit pretty well.
Very happy with all Titleist gear right now.
