INTRODUCING THE NEW TITLEIST 913 DRIVERS. To get the most out of your game, you need to get the most out of your equipment.

The new Titleist 913 drivers, with innovations to the face insert, rear weight and lower CG location, deliver more speed and more distance. Titleist 913 drivers also provide more performance and forgiveness, with uncompromising looks, sound and feel. And our patented, industry-leading SureFit™ Tour hosel technology allows loft and lie to be adjusted independently to provide all serious golfers with the most precise fit for their game. To learn more, visit titleist.co.uk and see how far Titleist driver technology can take your game.

High-speed, forged face insert provides more speed over a larger area of the face.

Rear weight and improved CG location provide optimum launch with reduced spin for longer distance.

Industry-leading SureFit Tour hosel technology is like having a “Tour Van in a hosel.”

It delivers independent loft and lie adjustment for the most precise fit available.
