    Looking to purchase a new fairway wood.  Could someone please lend some advice in the differences between the F and Fd????

    Have not played 913fd, however I have gamed both 910fd and 910f and 913f. In my opinion there isn't much difference between the 913 and 910 version in the "F". That being said there are some differences in my opinion between the FD and the F. Keep in mind things may be different for you but this is just my swing and my game. The FD is definitely a lower launching club teed up or off the deck. It definitely has a more driver feel to it maybe because the head is slightly bigger than the F. The sound isn't like a traditional fairway metal, it's more of a hollow sound and feel. It is more difficult for me to get this club airborne. As for the 910/913f, don't get me wrong bc I love both of the versions (F and FD) but if you made me choose I would pick the F by a slight edge. For me this club is more versatile. I can hit it high or low off the deck. The F definitely has the more traditional solid feel and "png" sound of a fairway wood. On mishits I find it more easy to feel where I hit it on the clubface. I would compare the forgiveness of both the clubs to be equal but sometimes when I would hit FD I would look up and say wow I must have hit that well because I couldn't feel it as much. So a short recap, if you're looking for feel and versatility I would say F wins. If you are looking for low ball flight not as much feel but better consistency FD wins. I play both because I play both soft and extremely dry conditions and the F gives me more carry distance and the FD on dry courses for roll out. Either way it's Titleist so you can't go wrong. Hope this helps.

    I tried the 913 Fd for less spin and I love it. One of the Pros at my club had one in his bag and he let me game it a couple of rounds. I liked it and ordered one. I find it easy to control off the tee and fairway.

    Its simple the fd models have the weight forward and the f models have the weight in the rear to help with lauch.

    They are as advertised.  If you spin the ball more than you like and are looking for less spin go with the FD.  Even in the higher lofts.  I didnt find one easier to hit off the deck than the other but off the tee the FD is a much ball flight for me
