    I am about to purchase a new 915D2 to replace my 913D2. Since I have a $200 gift certificate at GG, I would like to buy it there. In the past, I was fit there for a 910D2, but was not convinced with their suggestion for me to use a Diamana ahina 70 stiff flex shaft. My driver SS is usually somewhere in the 92-94 mph range.  (I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but curiously, they had a few of the stiff ahinas still sitting on the rack for sale, yet only one khali 60 in regular flex.  Just sayin...) I play regular flex in all my AP2 irons (fit by Titleist local rep), FW and 19* 913 hybrid.

    In any case, getting fit there, indoors, doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence. Also, the options "off the rack" are few in regular flex . Either a Diamana Blue 60 or Red 50. Looking at the shaft options online which are available at no upcharge, I see the Rogue Black is available in a regular flex, even though it is not available off the rack. I hear good things about this shaft. Since GG will not have it to try, I was wondering if someone could describe the tendencies and characteristics compared to the Diamanas mentioned above. Why might I want, or not want, the Rogue Black over the S+60?

    Being LH, it was even worse for me at GG. They only had a 9.5 in S+ stiff LH in stock, and magically it was the best for me. My swing speed was 85-88. I have since replaced the shaft with a R flex Blue (915 stock shaft)- the Red was giving me too much spin, and set the loft to 11 degrees. All 3 shafts are worth checking out. One option is to pay someone 50-75 for a fitting and special order at GG. Cheaper than trying to replace the shaft later. My recommendation is to reload on balls with the certificate and buy the club from an outdoor fitter.

    Doug,  I would also check out the Diamana Whiteboard shaft as well.  The Diamana white also comes in a 50 and it is what I put in my 915D2 and am EXTREMELY happy with it.

    Hi Doug,  We have one of three regional fitting centers about 60 miles from you in Scarborough, NY10510 at Sleepy Hollow CC.  The fitter there is Kevin Sprecher and he will be able to help you make the right selection for your 915 driver if you wanted to make the drive - his number is:  305-498-9480.  Other fitters that we have closer to you would include Scott or Chris at Stony Hill Custom Clubs in Brookfirld, CT - 203.778.2777 or Chris Cotes Golf Shop in Portland, CT- 860 342 2226
