equipment review

I have been playing the Titleist 913 D3 8.5 with the white 4 gram weight.  The shaft is a Graphite Design DI-7s tipped 1 inch.  I like the setup.  I feel like the driver maximizes my distance.  On miss hits the shots feel terrible but they seem to loose less distance than other models.  I was playing the R11 with a white board 63x.  When I put them on flight scope the titleist out performed the taylormade in all categories the most important was the dispersion.  The miss hits on the R11 had a greater distance from the intended target.  I really like the titleist head but believe the shaft and head combo are a perfect match for my swing.

I have been testing balls this off season as well.  The Taylormade Lethal ball is leaps and bounds better than any ball they have produced yet.  I feel that the Lethal performs well in all conditions including windy and cold conditions.  It is long off the tee and spins good on the greens.

The new prov1 and prov1x are still my ball of choice.  All others are still trying to compete with the best.  I play the x.

Callaway and Taylormade are making good balls but since I am buying my balls, I am going to buy the best, Titleist.

The Srixon balls do not impress me at all.  Bridgestone is still in the rearview mirror.
