My personal opinion is I think it should be more intuitive, the two rings of 1, 2, 3, 4 and A, B, C, D do make sense, once you know what they stand for and how each ring works. But unlike other drivers on the market you can\u2019t just pick it up look at the markings and make your adjustments, you need to read up on how each ring adjusts the club and how you can achieve the trajectory and ball flight you are looking to play.<\/p>\n<p>Is it worth doing that? Yes indeed it is.<\/p>\n<p>As I said I loved everything about the 915 D3 and I would certainly make sure you put it on your testing list.
