Description A new 300cc Prototype Driver... the 975J has been seen in many Tour bags early in '01.
Very similar look to its wildly popular predecessor the 975D. Just slightly larger and with a different look to the face... scoreing lines are placed in an "insert" look a'la the Callaway GBB.

Summary: I got this as a throw-in at a used sporting goods store when I was really looking for a 3-wood to hit off the tee since I couldn't hit a driver very well at the time. I quickly ditched the 3-wood because the 975J is so easy to hit. It came with a Pro Force 65 shaft and just fits the way I swing. The sound of a solid hit is more of a crack than a metallic ping, and it feels cushy. It's easy to get the ball in the air, but it's easy to curve the ball, too, so you need to be a straight hitter to use this club. I keep thinking I need to update my driver, but I always come back to this one, my first metal driver after giving up my wooden 2-wood as a tee club. Everybody I let hit this club really likes it. You will, too. It was the cat's meow in its day, and it still does the job for me.

Summary: I've pretty much demo'd every driver known to man, and after all was said & done i have gone back to this 300cc baby. It was the driver that started it for Titleist. I prefer the smaller head to the volvos on a stick made nowadays. paired with the right shaft, this driver is as solid as any. square face angle, looks great at address. it's very long & accurate for a better player. it's not very forgiving, so choppers should stay away. you can get a mint condition 975J on ebay for beans these days, bargain of the century.

Summary: This is the best driver that I have ever had. I have the UST Proforce 75 S flex shaft in it and the low torque lets me hit it a mile every time. I can always hit it confidently with this club and there is nothing better than I have had. I drove 100 miles to Golf Mart in Dublin Ca to spend $30.00 on a new driver. That was 4 years ago. Why spend an arm and a leg for new stuff when there is tons of quality used equipment for much much less.
Customer Service: Hello, my driver doesn't work!

Summary: I bought my Titleist 975J several years ago. It was the first driver that I ever really felt comfortable with. Eventually, I "graduated" to a Taylormade R7 425. This year I bought a used Cleveland Launcher 400 driver as a backup. Both clubs are nice and I have nothing bad to say about them. I was having problems hitting fairways this year though. My wife had pulled my 975J out of the basement to use in a company golf event. I had forgotten about it. Just for fun I put it back in my bag and took it to the range. Wow!! Why did I ever let this club go? I hit it straighter AND farther. Trust me. Bigger is not better.
Customer Service: None needed.

Summary: I'm getting back into golf after a ten year lay off (played some in college) and man oh man. Last week I picked up a used Titleist 983 at a local Golf Galaxy and was happy with this one. Was in another Golf Galaxy this weekend and was just looking around. Knowing that I needed to have a spare I picked up this 975. Before I selected it, I tried out the 905, the R7 and the R5 and honestly this is the only one that felt any good. Took it to the range last night and after getting my swing in order, man oh man, it seemed to want to run as far away as it could from the club head. Every time I swung it. It was easily topping 200 and for me who was hitting 150 a few weeks ago this is amazing.
