I Had a custom fit for my Titleist 913 D2 driver, I ended up with a 9.5* paired with a Graphite Design G50 reg shaft.
The 913D2 has the same SureFit Tour hosel that debuted in the 910 series, which allows you to set the loft and lie independently to optimise ball flight. You can then raise or lower the loft as well as open or close the face. This shaft helped retain my launch angle but reduced spin for longer, straighter and more consistent ball flights.
In terms of driver spin, I was enjoying much lower spin with a more pleasing launch angle and consequently longer carry and roll out. So much so, I averaged 273 yards off the tee during my fitting session - a huge gain on my current driver, and since putting the club in my bag, I have recorded a career PB of 310 yards down the par-4 second at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
Distance had dramatically increased because of a new face insert which makes ball speeds faster on a larger area of the face – perfect on the occasional off-centre hit. I was informed during my fitting session that the face of the 913 has increased the maximum ball speed area up to 11% from its previous cheap titleist 910 d2 driver.
The insert is forged out of 6-4 titanium. The insert is thickest in the center as it mirrors the outer face profile. As you move out from the center the face becomes thinner and tapered so that it matches up with the body thickness at the face perimeter. As with the crown, the face is lighter in the 913 vs. the 910 which allows that weight to be redistributed to optimize the CG.
Visually, the new 913s look exactly what they are, an update to a previous best price golf clubs, albeit with several nifty upgrades that up the "mean" factor. The sole, which once featured a brushed silver on the nameplate, now goes matte black and in doing so looks three times as aggressive. The weight port, previously circular in shape on the 910, is now a "fat chevron" six-sided polygon.
Without doubt, this 913 d2 driver is the best driver I have ever owned. I adjusted a driver out of sight, handed it to a tester, and let them hit several balls. Source from: http://www.shoppinggolfonline.co.uk/article-484-Players-Adjust-to-try-to-hit-Titleist-913-D2-driver.html
