The Titleist 909 series offers golfers three distinct driver options, which adjust CG (centre of gravity) to suit the way a golfer drives.

In order to achieve the ideal golf drive, a ball should have a high initial launch with low spin, but, if a golfer’s drive doesn’t match this ideal then Titleist can provide a driver to assist.

A golfer who drives with excessive spin may find their ball launches low, rises too high and then drops steeply would benefit from incorporating the Titleist 909D Comp or 909D2 into his game. However if your swing average is high, you may discover that the 909D3 will help control your spin more effectively.

A golfer, who suffers from a drive that launches high, sees their ball disappear into orbit, but, drops like a stone could improve ball trajectory by using the 909D3.

Titleist 909 D Comp drivers produces a high launch with mid to low spin. The 909 D2 offers a 460cc clubface and produces a drive with mid launch and mid to low spin, whereas the 909D3 titanium club promotes a mid launch with slow spin.

Titleist golf ball loyalists Mahan, Lunde and Frost lead the #1 Ball in Golf to a three win week

On the PGA Tour, taking your game to the next level requires persistent dedication and complete trust in your golf ball. In his victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Hunter Mahan trusted the Titleist Pro V1x to overcome a four-shot deficit by closing with a 6-under par 64. The two-shot victory was the third of his PGA Tour career and his second this year, having also won the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February. Titleist momentum continued at the PGA Tour’s Turning Stone Resort Championship, as Mahan’s fellow Pro V1x loyalist, Bill Lunde, captured his first career PGA Tour title after firing a final round 6-under par, 66.

Mahan carded six birdies in the final round and played the last 29 holes of the tournament without a bogey. He finished at 12-under par, 268, two strokes clear of Ryan Palmer who trusted the feel and control of the Titleist Pro V1 to finish second, and three strokes ahead of Titleist Brand Ambassador Bo Van Pelt, who tied for third on 9-under par, completing a Titleist 1-2-3 in Akron. As well as being the choice of the champion in Akron, Titleist was the golf ball of choice at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational with 40 players, more than three times the nearest competitor with 13. Titleist also topped the counts for irons, hybrids and sand, lob and approach wedges.

On the PGA Tour, Pro V1x loyalist, Bill Lunde fired a final round 66 to claim his first career PGA Tour title by one shot at the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Lunde finished the tournament at 17-under 271, ahead of five Titleist golf ball loyalists among the seven players finishing tied for third or better, including Titleist Brand Ambassador Michael Sim. Sim led the field in putting for the week, and was joined by fellow Pro V1x loyalists Jerry Kelly, Josh Teater and Billy Mayfair in a tie for third. Titleist was also the golf ball of choice at the Turning Stone Resort Championship with 90 players, six times the nearest competitor with 15. Titleist also topped the counts for irons, hybrids and sand, lob and approach wedges.

Elsewhere, on the Champions Tour, David Frost trusted the Pro V1x to rewrite the record books at the 3M Championship en route to his first career Champions Tour victory. Frost’s final round 11-under par 61 set a new course record at the TPC Twin Cities, and his 25-under total of 191 broke the tournament scoring record by two strokes. That score also matched the Champions Tour scoring record for all 54-hole events, shared by three players. On the Korean Tour, Kim Bio (Pro V1x) captured his first victory as a professional at the Johnnie Walker Open. Kim posted four consecutive rounds in the 60’s for a 20-under par total and six shot victory from fellow Titleist golf ball loyalists Lee Min Chang (Pro V1) and Yoon Jung Ho (Pro V1x). These victories take Titleist’s 2010 worldwide golf ball win count to 84, compared to 17 for the nearest competitor.

A third PGA Tour title for Hunter Mahan coupled with a record breaking victory on the Champions Tour and further victories around the world, continues to prove that the world’s best players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist for their success.

TaylorMade drivers are very popular among amateur and professional golfers. At Golfbuyitonline you will be able to find a fantastic selection of TaylorMade drivers at fantastic prices including TaylorMade Golf Tour Burner Drivers, TaylorMade Golf R9 Drivers, TaylorMade Golf Burner Drivers and many more.

The latest addition to the TaylorMade Driver line up is the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver. The R9 SuperTri driver was the No. 1 driver model during its first week available on the European Tour, with 20 in play at the Qatar Masters. Our fitters can’t believe TaylorMade have improved the R9 original Driver, but they have. After testing these, they go even further than the last Model. Combine this with the FCT technology this is the best to come out of the TaylorMade stable so far. Highly recommended.

Another fantastic driver from TaylorMade is the R9 SuperDeep TP Driver. A Pure Player’s Driver Descended from the Legendary 300 Tour and R510 TP. Our fitters can’t believe TaylorMade have improved the R9 original Driver, but they have. After testing these, they go even further than the last Model. Combine this with the FCT technology this is the best to come out of the TaylorMade stable so far. The new F1 TP shaft offers a lower more penetrating ball flight for the golfer looking for less spin and more penetration.

The TaylorMade Burner SuperFast Driver is also another fantastic driver. The Burner 07 is the best-selling driver in TaylorMade history, so there’s no doubting what a great club it is and the consumer’s belief in the credibility of SuperFast technology. TaylorMade improved on Burner 07 with last year’s Burner 09, and now they are unveiling the next generation of this phenomenal franchise, which they are calling Burner SuperFast. Burner SuperFast’s improved SuperFast technology makes it lighter, more aerodynamic, faster and, ultimately, longer. Trust TaylorMade, this thing is a speed demon, weighing an astounding 14 grams less than Burner 07. Burner SuperFast’s improved performance starts with a new 460cc club head shape that’s sleeker and more aerodynamic to significantly reduce wind resistance, allowing players to effortlessly increase their club head speed.

Titleist Ambassador Charley Hoffman fires a final round 62 to capture the Deutsche Bank Championship.

This week’s Deutsche Bank Championship was set alight by Titleist Ambassador Charley Hoffman who recovered a four shot deficit to claim his second career victory with a sensational 62. Hoffman staked his claim for the FedExCup title with an eleven birdie tally that tied the tournament record of 262 and catapulted him to second place, a move of 57 places in the FedExCup standings.

Hoffman trusted the feel and control of the Pro V1 golf ball and a host of Titleist clubs including; the new 910 D3 (9.5°) prototype driver, MB irons (3-9), Vokey Design wedges (48°, 56°, 60°) and Scotty Cameron Red X putter to craft a signature performance that will go down in PGA TOUR history. Four rounds in the 60’s (64-67-69-62) were capped with a sensational final round to close out the event in true style with a five stroke winning margin. Three players finished tied for second, five shots off Hoffman’s pace, including Titleist Brand Ambassador Geoff Ogilvy (Pro V1) and Luke Donald (Pro V1x).  Ogilvy, who played alongside Hoffman on Monday, closed with a 5-under 66 and his runner-up finish moved him from No. 52 to No. 9 in the standings, assuring him a spot in The Tour Championship.

Hoffman’s victory with Titleist’s new 910 D3 prototype driver was the second win for the 910 prototype driver following Titleist Brand Ambassador Ross Fisher’s victory last month on the European Tour, at the 3 Irish Open.   In fact, counting Hoffman, four players that finished among the top 5 and ties at the Deutsche Bank Championship relied on the Titleist 910 prototype driver, including Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott

Elsewhere on the Champions Tour Ted Schulz relied on the Pro V1x golf ball to win the Home Care & Hospice First Tee Open.  Schulz, in the field on conditional status, made the most of the opportunity, winning his first Champions Tour title and claiming his first professional win since 1991.

Titleist was the overwhelming golf ball of choice at The Deutsche Bank Championship with 64 players, more than seven times the nearest competitor with 9. The wins by Hoffman and Schulz advance Titleist’s 2010 worldwide win count to 95, nearly five times the nearest competitor with 20.

Further strong performances from Titleist Ambassadors coupled with the constant flow of Pro V1 victories across worldwide professional tours continues to prove that the world’s best players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist.

Titleist: Golf’s Symbol of Excellence.

By now most of you will have probably heard about the rule change that is going to affect the wedge. The new grooves must be smaller and much shallower in comparison.  According to the USGA’s website, “The revisions are designed to restore the playing shots to the green from the rough by reducing backspin on those shots. The initial focus of the new rules will be competitions involving highly skilled professional golfers and will have little impact on the play of most golfers.”

For the 2010 PGA Tour season you have seen that all Tour players are playing with wedges that conform to the new rule change. However amateur golfers don’t have to worry about changing their wedge until 2024.

So if this isn’t going to affect you for another 14 years why are we talking about it now? This is because as of December 31st, 2010, golf club manufacturers will no longer be able to produce wedges with large square grooves that most golfers have grown to love.

Here at Golfbuyitonline we have stocked up on a range of wedges that don’t comply with the new rules as we know that many amateurs probably won’t change their wedge until the new rule has to come into force for amateurs until 2024.

We stock a superb range of golf wedges for Men, Seniors, Ladies, “Lefties” and Juniors manufactured by the biggest names in golf including: Callaway Wedges, Mizuno Wedges, Nike Wedges, Ping Wedges, TaylorMade Wedges, Titleist Wedges, and Masters Wedges.

So what are you waiting for order your new wedge online today from Golfbuyitonline before the manufactures have to comply with the new rule change!

Here at Golfbuyitonline we have a huge choice of top brand drivers for men, ladies, junior and senior golfers including TaylorMade Drivers, Cobra Drivers, Nike Drivers and many more. We also stock drivers for left and right handed players with custom fitting options available too.

Last year a new rule allowing adjustable clubs to be allowed on tour was introduced, and since then all the top big brand names in golf have bought out new adjustable drivers among many other clubs. Below are just some of the new 2010 drivers that we have here at Golfbuyitonline.com

Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Edge Driver

Callaway golf have always been a company who push the boundaries of innovative design and ground breaking new technology and for providing some of the best drivers in golf today. This year they have again excelled themselves with the new arrival of the diablo edge family. The Callaway Diablo Edge and Diablo Edge Tour Drivers offer superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG, and better aerodynamics — and it all adds up to the longest, most accurate all-titanium drivers Callaway Golf has ever made.

Cobra ZL Driver

ZL stands for Zero Limits. That’s the mindset Cobra engineers had when they set out to design the longest driver in our history. They pushed the boundaries of forgiveness and distance with multi-material construction, a milled rhombus face insert and an Aldila VooDoo shaft. Then they challenged the conventions of customization with Adjustable Flight Technology: three simple, straightforward settings [Open, Neutral and Closed] that help deliver accurate, consistent distance. Count Cobra PGA Staff Pro JB Holmes among the believers. He put the ZL in his bag and now you can too.

Mizuno MP 630 Fast Track Driver

The original FAST TRACK Mizuno primarily designed to impact sidespin and the lateral characteristics of ball flight. However they quickly realised that being able to adjust backspin was just as useful. Mizuno focused even more on this aspect with the new FAST TRACK – you can see by the track itself how far forward and back we can take weight from the face. The new system massively increases the potential of the MP-630 to convert extreme ball speeds into even bigger gains in driving distance.
