  1. My fiance, of whom knows absolutely nothing about golf, has watched me over the last 4 months get back into golf, gone to a few stores with me, gone to a fitting with me, and has listened to me prattle on about Titleist this and Titleist that, especially when I am here on the Team Titleist website. She has seen me overjoyed when my 178 AP2's arrived, and next my 3 Vokey wedges, and then, of course, my Titleist Mid Staff bag. She also has seen me drool over the one and only 917's and 818's, and of course listened to me planning on how by spring they shall be in my bag. Now with kids, mortgage, etcetera, Christmas can be, well, a costly endeavour. And she being as loving as she is, I guess decided she was going to get me a driver and a hybrid for Christmas. I only learned of this feat as I arrived home Friday night to see the UPS driver on my front step, asking the kids if any parents were home. I took a quick look and signed for 2 very long skinny boxes, clearly marked Golf Town. And I was well behaved and did not open these boxes. Well when she got home the cat was well out of the bag and down the block, so she let me open them. And as she explained to me, she truly wanted to buy, me the models I wanted (917 and 818) but we needed to purchase gifts for family and friends and new drivers were not in the budget... I hugged her and gave her a huge kiss and a thank you. And to honour her thoughtfulness and kindness, I will play my new (very good condition used) 910H 21* and 910D2 10.5* driver and hybrid. She's pretty amazing seeing as she knew nothing about golf :) (pic attached) So long story short I will be using these clubs, but I spent all day at several pro shops, golf town and some time online(ebay, amazon) as well as craigslist, and to no avail, I could not find the 910 Surefit Kits with the Torque tool, weights, and guide, (nor an 818H head cover) that I guess at one time we could buy from Titleist. Does anyone here in Canada or the US have any suggestions or ideas? Does Titleist have a warehouse with some old things kicking about? Anything is greatly appreciated and Merry Christmas to ALL my fellow Team Titleist members!!!!

    All Titleist clubs with the Surefit hosel use the same A1 to D4 combination of settings and the same torque wrench. It looks like the clubs are LH, so just need to use the chart for D4 to A1. The only variation is the 816/818 hybrids are in 1 degree increments instead of 0.75 degrees.
  3. Beautiful! Who needs this year's model with a story like that!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    You know you have a keeper when she's willing to go to those lengths to hook you up!!! Pretty awesome.

    Wife bought me a set of 716 AP2 last year for Christmas and a NP2 for my birthday a few months before that.... Best thing about Titleist, IMO, performance is great no matter what model you play, and the 910 range kind of set the bar. Great stuff, hope you enjoy the heck out of it all!!

    as far as hybrid head cover most shops offer a knit sock Titleist hybrid cover and any titleist torque wrench will work

    Give the driver a chance. I had gotten the 910 for myself and loved it so well that my wife and kids got me the 913 when it came out. It is still in the garage. I love the feel and sound of the old 910 and try as I may to get used to the 913 I still play the 910. She sounds like a genius to me!
  12. You won’t be disappointed in the 910 family. Excellent clubs. Great story, you’re a very fortunate. Happy Holidays!

    Nice story!! My wife WOULD NEVER do that.. You have a keeper bud! Enjoy the new sticks and I've heard great things about the 910s.
  15. OK small correction in my letter, I bought the 718 AO2's not 178 AP2's lol. I can't thank all of you guys, especially the lefties!! for your kind words and enthusiasm for the 910's, I am stoked to get out and try them now!! And Dwayne I will go back to the pro shop and see if a new torque tool will work, but the shops were pretty adamant that they couldn't order the weights or guides for either the driver or Hybrid. But perhaps a tool will be a start? Anyways again Thank you all for your input and I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, and lets all pray for sticks and balls under the tree!!
