THE TOUR TALK ON TITLEIST TITANIUM

Since their introduction on the golf market, Titleist Titanium drivers have become the preferred choice of many of the world's top players.

Introduced in 1997, the Titleist Titanium drivers landed two majors in their first year on Tour. In 1998, they recorded over 40 victories on the world's tours and this year are on target to win even more having taken 9 victories on the PGA Tour alone and 26 victories worldwide already this season. So its hardly surprising to discover that Titleist Titanium is the preferred choice of the current World No 1, 2, and 3.

Titleist Titanium drivers are available in two shapes - the 975D with a larger deep face pear shape and the smaller round 976R. The classic head shapes feature square face angles for enhanced address position and increased shot options. World No 1 David Duval's own experience with his driver reflect the design claims. After his recent victory at the BellSouth Classic he commented, "I can hit any shot I want with the Titleist Titanium 975D. That's why I love this driver."

The drivers are designed to manage the strength and weight benefits of titanium and to create shots which fly with a harder more penetrating ball flight. World No 2 Tiger Woods, winner of the Tournament Players' Championship of Europe in Heidleburg on Monday comments, "One thing I love about the Titleist Titanium 975D is the fact that its one of the best looking heads I've ever seen, very similar to persimmons that I grew up with. But the important thing is accuracy off the tee. I know that's key for me as far as I hit it. You've got to keep it in the short grass and the 975D definitely does that for me. Another great thing is you can manoeuvre the ball in the wind - its very controllable."

World No 3 - Davis Love III also prefers the deep faced traditional pear-shape of the 975D. "I lover my Titleist Titanium 975D driver, first because its great looking and its easy to hit. I have so much confidence, every swing I make. I've never had so much fun driving the ball."
