Spotted: Titleist 915D4 Driver
Here’s Titleist’s yet-to-be-released 915D4 driver, which we photographed on the range at the Honda Classic where it was being tested by Titleist player John Peterson.
According to a Titleist representative, the 915D4 has a slightly more forward center of gravity than the company’s 915D3 driver and more crown curvature for a slightly rounder appearance at address. It measures 450 cubic centimeters, 10 cc larger than the 915D3. All the other features — Titleist’s Active Recoil Channel, Radial Speed Face and SureFit Adjustable Hose — appear the same.
The 915D4’s slightly more forward CG makes it roughly 300 rpm lower spinning than Titleist’s 915D3 (440cc) and 915D2 (460cc) drivers, however, it has a lower moment of inertia (MOI) than those drivers, which makes it less consistent on mishits. But the potential for more distance is there for golfers who want a lower-spinning Titleist driver.
The driver is expected to be released in May.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 LST here.
2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Titleist GT3 here.
1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

just bought this driver and yes its nowhere near as forgiving as the D2 or D3 but for sure longer! I went from hitting the ball around 230 yards off the tee to about 270. I’ve owned both the D2 and D3 but this ones beats them both in my opinion.

Most people don’t understand ball flight laws and what amount of spin is optimal for them in the first place. Go get fitted into a shaft and driver head that work together by a PGA professional or a custom club fitter.

If the D4 has the same horrible sound and feel like the other 915 versions, I won’t even test it.
The 915 is a big step back to the 913 when it comes to sound/feel.
The TM R15 and SLDR beat the 915 in this category by miles!

hey look all you MF’ers… i play an original callaway big bertha with an x100 steel shaft – the same type used in the mid-late 90’s – as small/big as a modern day 5 wood. i hit 12 to 13 fairways a round, while the new guys are spraying the ball all over creation. the fairway is a lonely place. tee it down, choke down, swing it like it’s your 6iron and watch your ball hit the short stuff. i’ll beat your butt

gawd, have we all gone mad ? Most folks on here couldn’t hit it better with a cannon. Hit what you have and hit it more in the center with a gooooood swing. Another new driver won’t help.
Jon
Feb 25, 2015 at 1:38 pm
Kind of liking the 450 cc head size, as it seems “just right” for myself. What would have been really interesting is if D4 came with an empty weight slot in the back, so the weight could be moved forward or backward, a la new Cobra Fly-Z drivers..
WarrenPeace
Feb 25, 2015 at 11:54 am
This is nothing more than a 915d3HD. I’ve often wondered why they didn’t do this in the 913 lineup? I love my 913hd 15* 3 wood- Its nearly as long as my driver but can be shaped better. I have to think that the driver with a slightly higher loft would get you and extra 7-10 yrds.

Feb 25, 2015 at 11:28 am
After my Superfast 2.0 cracked I actually replaced it with an old R7. Found an 11.5 degree head, put all the weights forward and reshafted it (I play a 44 inch driver, so I put in a little heavier weights to get the swing weight back up). I didn’t like the flight initially, but the trackman numbers were clear, I was hitting it longer than the Superfast. And it’s nice to hit a smaller head again instead of swinging with a dinner plate. All in all, spent less than 50 bucks on the driver.
I guess the low spin/high launch stuff actually makes sense.

Feb 25, 2015 at 7:22 am
hope they will not start offering different Hybrid or Fd models as well. Just ordered my #2 915H. If they will offer something between the H and Hd hybrid, I will not be happy. I for my liking would go with the D4. Currently playing 913d3 and just slighly bigger head would be nice. Don’t fancy the D2.

Seems Titleist is getting into the marketing game other companies have been playing for years. Interesting, I’ll have to demo it. Wasn’t impressed that much with 915’s relative to 913 line up. Marginal at best.

Feb 24, 2015 at 6:48 pm
Looks like the rest of the line up. If it out performs the D3 the same as the LST out performed the regular G30 then the D4 could be awesome.
Jonzone
Feb 24, 2015 at 8:39 pm
Disagree on your LST outperforming the regular G30. There is a reason why 90% of their staffers are still gaming the regular G30…if by outperform you mean spin less, then you’re correct….
Big Mike
Feb 24, 2015 at 10:15 pm
Less Spin = Better Performance For Me. And that’s a fact for ME. And the other thing to consider is that the Tour Players G30 may be a bit different than the one you and I can buy. Mi would bet those heads spin less than the ones average Joe can get

So really there’s no discernible difference other than its 10 cc’s larger and spins a little less than D3. Then why offer it?
Rich

Because it looks slightly different and spins 300rpm’s less.
christian
Jun 2, 2015 at 2:35 am
This. It’s just another choice in the Titleist line-up. You don’t HAVE to buy it! People are getting upset over the fact that they offer a driver that won’t suit them personally and shout “why release this to the public when 90% of golfers are better off with the D3!!” Well, because there are people in the remaining 10% that might like it, and it might suit them better? Just because you can’t use it doesn’t mean it should be banned from the surface of the earth. The other versions are all still there aren’t they? People are nigh on psychotic sometimes.

I spent 2 hours last month on a launch monitor at Golfsmith, tried a few different shafts etc…I like they way the D3 looks, feels and sounds, but couldn’t get it to out perform my current driver. maybe the D4 can do that?

Feb 24, 2015 at 1:04 pm
I thought Titliest reps were told not to talk about face forward ‘technology’? I like their clubs fine, but all of the Taylor Made bashing in the end is funny when you consider Titleist copying what TM started years ago with slots, hosel adjustments. Is Titleist going to released movable weights in another 2-3 years? Probably.
The Real Jim Parsons
Feb 24, 2015 at 1:19 pm
TaylorMade didn’t start anything to do with slots for the billionith time. Nike and Adams had slots before TM. Also, check you history books. Other’s have done similar tech in drivers for a long. A softer flexing sole (slot) with weight forward is not rocket science, nor anything new. TM is not a technologically advanced company. They are a branding and marketing company that has you fooled.

I’d even say Ping did it before TMAG with the i15. Had to loft up with that to get it to go anyway. Low spinning bombs with that and when you missed it, boy did you miss it.

Actually it was Cally with the original Big Bertha. If you look back, the original 9* driver was closer to 11.5*, and the 10.5* closer to 13* due to the ultra low-spin and low forward CG. That was a deadly combination back with wound and balata, so Cally just lofted up for you without anyone knowing and man-hood was saved by having a driver in your bag that read 9* and not 11.5*

Regis
Feb 25, 2015 at 1:37 pm
Metal woods. Adjustable Hosels. Slots. Other may have toyed with the ideas but TM brought them to the masses. (Actually nobody fooled with metal woods before TMAG). All incorporated into every new Titleist but its not rocket science. So what technology has Titleist brought to the party? The “Active Recoil Channel” “The Sure Fit Adjustable Hosel”?. Cutting Edge.

Feb 24, 2015 at 1:03 pm
Interesting timing. This seems like a late edition to their ’15 drivers. Is this an quiet admittance by Titleist that their other 915 drivers weren’t satisfying the pros or perhaps that their D2 and D3 drivers couldn’t compete with the latest drivers from Taylormade and others?
The Real Jim Parsons
Feb 24, 2015 at 1:16 pm
No, If you followed the rumor mill for the last 8 months it was known this is coming. There was always going to be 3 Titleist drivers for 2015.

vonge
Feb 24, 2015 at 1:56 pm
I wouldn’t call it an admittance by any stretch. This is not the first time they’ve done this, please see 907 D4. Tour pros ask for a smaller footprint, deeper face and more workability. That’s what they get, regardless of the brand.

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Then I have to wonder if the timing for the release of this new club was purely a biz move and planned along to be released when sales start trailing off for their D2 and D3? Seems like they would have the potential for more sales this way by staggering the releases of similar models rather than all at once? Maybe capture those buyers who already bought the D2 or D3 but must always have the latest?
Josh
Feb 24, 2015 at 2:43 pm
I would say no to the concern over Taylormade and others.
Titleist has proven that while they pay attention to the other OEMs, they are quite comfortable with their strategy in releasing clubs to the market.
