Titleist Demo day at the range

Went to a Titleist demo day I hit the following

1. D1
2. D2
3. 906F2
4. 585H
5. 695 CB
6. 755
7 Vokey SM

A brief rundown:

D1 - actually not too bad looking at address, I only hit a few with this and they came off like a rocket. The sound is HORRID though. Could never play this.

D2 - it's the 905R. Waste of money to buy this one. The R has a sleeker shape too.

906F2 - Titleist and fairway woods = nothing spectacular. This felt a little heavy and dead to me. Nothing exciting here

585H - too heavy for a hybrid in my opinion. I am a little biased and a J33 snob

695CB - beautiful looking sticks, very small players cavities. Pure hits felt awesome, better than my 60's. Off center or just not perfect were just normal feeling. They seemed longer than my Mizzies. I would play these if I couldn't play the MP-60

755 - a great iron. Very playable, albeit a bit mushy feeling (I think that might have to do with the tri-spec shaft that was in it) There is a touch too much offset here, but again, playable for sure.

Vokey SM - These are just stupid. I was backing it up like 10 feet on 3/4 shots on the practice range. Short pitches didn't seem to spin all that much for me, but full shots were insane. I would have a tough time playing these since after about 6 full shots, 2 pro v's were ruined. Switching balls is not an option.
