MattF Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Matt, I am a big Christmas Guy.......not only is it the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, but it is also My Birthday! 64 Yrs old this year. That's a very good reason to celebrate. And you don't look a day over 65! I just don't like where the commercialism has gone. I work at Walmart as a second job and we've been playing Christmas music for the last 2 weeks...before Thanksgiving! How about we finish one celebration BEFORE we start another. It's changed so much since I was a kid, but so's the world.

markb Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 A week ago, I would have said nothing was on my list. Now after watching Rick Shiels latest videos on the 915 driver, I'm thinking that I'll pick one up. Like many here at MGS, I thought the 913 was a very consistent, very forgiving head -- but quite a bit noticeably shorter than most of the competition. It was so short for me, I couldn't be tempted to keep it. So too did Shiels, because it didn't do well in any of his tests last year. You guys probably already know that Shiels an enthusiastic tester who doesn't bother himself with too much data in his short videos, but I've found that at least he's pretty dang objective for a Ping staffer currently bagging a SLDR driver. (He didn't give the G30 very good reviews and recently said the Aeroburner was better.) So given his past tests, I was very surprised to see that the 915 came out triumphant in a bunch of his recent head to head tests against the G30, R15 etc. Including a neat little test in which he put the same Rogue Silver 110 shaft in both the 915 and the 913. Output numbers of this last test don't matter so much, but the 915 ended up much longer and significantly straighter. Those tests have me pondering again. If I could get that same Titleist 913 feel, look, forgiveness and consistency combined with decent length (not even superior length) I'd be all in. So now what to I do with my new uncut Rogue shaft? Callaway tip or Titleist tip? I'm undecided. This makes me think it would be a real shame to leave it out of the 2015 MWD test due to Titleist's perennial reluctance to submit a club. It might very well win this year whereas the 913 had no hope of winning last year so its absence was not missed. bag - SunMountain Synch with Ogio Synergy X4 cartdriver - Optiforce 440, Paderson Kevlar Green stiff 46.5"fwoods - Jetspeed, 3HL regularirons - Speedblades 3-8, 85g stiff steel, 2 upwedges - Scor 40, 45, 50, 54, 58putter - Ketsch 35" slight arc, SuperStroke 2.0 mid-slimball - ProV1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
