  1. Hi all new member here and addicted beginner. Looking for my first real driver and have option between 913 d2 stiff shaft and 915 d2 m50 regular shaft. My 7 iron is around 140 yards Thanks

    Shafts have other characteristics than the stiffness. Based on which section of the shaft will flex the most, they can dramatically affect the launch and dispersion pattern. The m series in the 915 is a higher launching shaft than most. A factor we can't determine as we are not physically fitting you is how you transition at the end of your back swing.

    Stiff versus regular is only important in comparing 2 flexes of the same shaft. One shaft's regular can be another shafts stiff, there is no standard across shafts for flex. Not to mention that Titleist driver heads come in 4 different lofts so it can be like comparing a 5 iron to an 8 iron.

    Long story short, you at least need to hit both to decide for yourself or work with a qualified fitter or pro shop to find the characteristics of your swing for the appropriate loft and shaft combination. When I got tired of buying and selling/returning used drivers, it was a whole lot simpler going to a pro shop and getting fit for the driver that worked with my swing. I could have kept it for 4 years, which was a better investment than the 6 drivers I didn't keep in my first year of getting into golf.
