I have just invested in a Titleist 909D2 driver with 9.5 Deg loft and Voodoo S-Flex shaft. I gain another 10-20 yards compared to my previous Titleist 907D2 with S-Flex Proto by Aldila shaft. MOreover, it is slightly easier to hit than the 907D2 model. I must say it is an awesome driver ... I love it, man! Sweeet!!! Laughing

Thanks Titleist for making such a good driver! cheers

Dear Rick,

Where can I find Monterey with 34 inch and a heavier 360g head?

Can we opt to custom a 33.5 inch shaft and different grip?

If yes, how long does it take to arrive?

Tks

Hi Senmin,

Monterey 35" with a 360g head is a custom order.We call this our "H" or heavy spec. You can order these through any of our authorised dealers.

We have some custom grip options which can be seen below. We offer 33",34",35" lengths options only at this time. Lead-times would be 3-4 weeks at this stage because of the popularity of the California Series.

Please let us know if you need any more information.

Thanks for your interest.

I would like to ask Titleist if there are cases of fake 905R in the market?
I bought one which look good but the headcover is a different design from the one in the website.

it looks like the design of the 983 series with triangular fins with just "905" on top of the headcover and not the silver side ones which was first launched or the new ones with "905R" on the top of the headcover which is the newer version.

thank you.

Hi g8888k,

Thanks for your question.

What I suggest is you send me a few pics of the headcover and driver and I can take a look at it for you. you can email these to rick_brown@acushnetgolf.com

It would be hard to tell if a club is counterfeit based on the headcover alone.

Please also let me know in the email where you purchased the club from as well.

Thanks

Rick

Hi... looking at getting a set of AP2's but was told that Titleist might not be able to bend
the club head to my specs of 4deg flat...

Can you pls confirm that Titleist is able to do it without spoiling the chrome?
Currently using Mizuno's

Hi Jon,

We can put in a special request to go 4 flat for you. Typically we can get this done but it takes some care and attention.

When you order these through your dealer just request for 4 deg flat on the form and have them copy me on the order. rick_brown@acushnetgolf.com I will make sure this is looked after for you.

Thanks

Rick

I was checking out used AP2s and realised a weird thing.
Some1 in US quoted the serial no as "30NOK" while a seller in Singapore quoted "6345358"
Hmmmm.....which is fake or both are real?

And also why some vokeys have serial while some doesn't? Weird....

Hi Peace,

The first serial number is typical of a custom order. The second looks like a stock set.

If you are sure the Vokey you have or are looking at is real and does not have a serial number it could be a pre-production sample or might come from one of our smaller assembly plants. We see counterfeit Vokey's and AP2's with serial numbers so don't assume a lack of serial number means counterfeit or having a serial number means its real.

Buying through an authorised dealer is always the best option.

If a consumer wishes to buy through the internet we always advise to be sure of the source they are buying from and preferably see the product before purchase. This is why internet buying always runs a risk.

I hope that helps,

Rick

Hey Rick

Speaking about AP2s reminded me about my set.

Is the 2008 model conforming to the new groove regulation? I have conflicting information about it. Just wanted to know.

Also, are you coming over for the PGA show next week? Meeting Grant for a round when he comes over. Razz
