Description The 983K driver features a 365cc full pear profile. The larger head size compared to the 983E, produces a moderate launch angle and higher moment of inertia for playability. The slightly heel-biased i...

Summary: This driver is one of the best Titleist has ever put out. I was a Taylormade player for quite a while but after the second R7 I owned split at the crown I was on the prowl for something different. Not that TM doesn't make a great club with outstanding customer service, but as all avid golfers can relate to " it got in the head" and I wanted a change.
The 983k is old technology that I would put up against most of today's equip. It is almost 80cc smaller so it isn't as foregiving but in the middle is in the middle. I switched the shaft out to a low torque V2 and can't be happier.
If you are looking for a great value in a driver this one is for you. Get fitted for the correct shaft for you and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: I tried this driver and could not hit one shot straight with it. I do not have anything bad to say about this club as it is definitely my swing that is the problem. I was hoping, after reading these reviews that this driver would fit me. And for $45 at Golf Galaxy, why not try it? Even though I thought it was a stretch for my game I gave it a go - which became more of a no go. My simple point is not to diss this driver as it is well made and a great value right now if you can find one. Just that this driver is clearly not for everyone.
Customer Service: Golf Galaxy offers a 30 day in store credit return which, along with the price, made trying this a no-brainer.

Summary: I've been in the Driver market for about 5 months, and every time I went to the store, I couldn't find any club that I could hit better than my 975D.
That all changed the day I hit the 983K. If you mostly play a draw, this club is perfect. Tested it at the simulator at GolfGalaxy, and was hitting push draws that carried 260, with a very tight ball pattern. Bought it immediately (at 40 bucks, I can't go wrong!) and took it to the range. The ball just explodes off the face. Very little backspin, and carries 245 - 250 like clockwork. I can't wait to get this on the course.
This club simply defies physics. The harder you swing, the longer and straighter it flies. You will not be disappointed. I have never hit a straighter club, and only one club longer (Cleveland HiBore XL).
Find it used on EBay or local golf shop for under 50 bucks. Guaranteed it will outperform ANY new driver.
Customer Service: Haven't used.

Summary: The 983k is by far the best driver i've ever played. it holds up distance-wise against all the big ones. the only driver for me that even comes close is the cleveland launcher comp. I've tried them all but this one is a beast. got sick and tired of all the so called tech advancements so i went and picked up one at a golf shop for 50 bucks. put it right into play and hit long straight bombs that fly forever. I am going to try to pick up a couple more of these so i always have one.

Summary: I've struggled with the fathead and long shaft "game improvement" drivers from time to time. A few weeks ago I played with a very good player who had just picked up one of these and claimed he was hitting far more fairways than with newer drivers. When I stumbled upon this one at the PGA Superstore for $49 it was all the temptation I needed. On the range I found it easy to hit straight down the middle with a mid-low trajectory. Distance was as good or better than any of my 460cc heads including Ping G10 and Titleist 905R. Looking forward to putting it into play this week after regripping.
