Description High launch. Low spin. Maximum ball velocity. These are the ingredients to maximize driving distance. These are the performance deliverables built into Titleist Pro Titanium drivers. The 905R™ is a Tour-proven 460cc pear shaped titanium driver with shallow face for players seeking the ultimate combination of ball speed, launch angle, spin and forgiveness. With an extensive selection of lofts and shafts, Titleist Pro Titanium drivers are capable of optimizing launch conditions for a wide range of serious golfers.
Summary: Last week I won the club championship at one of the country clubs I belong to. It's the third time I've won it using the 905R driver. I've got the 8.5 loft with the Aldila NV-65 Stiff shaft. I bomb it out there about 285 with a slight fade. I'm arguably the best ballstriker at our club and people are always asking to see my driver. What I will NOT do is let people hit my driver. You want to hit it? Go get your own you cheap schizoid! I'm tried of people trying to use my stuff.
Anyway, it's nice to see a driver out there that is good enough for my game. I've got a message for the hackers out there. I'm watching you. If you slow down, chop up the fairway or fail to rake a trap I'll be all over you like flies on sh!t. It's bad enough that you hack yourself around the course and make us good players wait, but then you dare play the back tees and think you can play this game? You'd better recognize a good player when you see him. Like me.
Customer Service: Who cares? As if I'm going to spend 10 minutes waiting for some customer service rep who knows nothing about golf clubs.
Similar Products Used: I've hit all the clubs out there and don't have the time to recite them all to the likes of you.

Summary: This is a great driver - it sits "square", has a smallish head compared with many of today's drivers but is forgiving. I used to play off 4, but my handicap has crept up to 10 - much of it due to poor driving. I have played a variety of drivers in the past few years from Cobra, Ping and Taylor Made but always had 2 or 3 drives per round which got me into big trouble. Lofts were from 7.5 degrees up to 9 as I was seeking a penetrating flight. My 905R is 10.5 BUT with a low torque stiff Proforce V2 shaft. What a revelation! No more snap hooks - and whilst the flight is higher than I have been used to, it still gets good run and bores through the wind well. It is slightly longer than other drivers I have used and far more accurate. It has already helped my handicap to come down. I highly recommend this shaft / head combination to anyone seeking good length with more accuracy.
Customer Service: Never used it

Summary: Everything old is new again. Just went back to this club after trying various tileist models in the past few years. Cant get over how easy and straight this club is. Probably one of the prettiest Titleists made. Had the 909 in every version as well as the 907 series. They are all gone as I cant find anything that performs as well as this. Just a great club all around. Too bad companies have to keep coming up with a new product to get people to buy their game. If you dont mind being out of date you wont regret this club. At a fraction of the cost you will be very happy. The technology in the past 3 years is all about changing lofts and lies and weighting. ONce you have found the settings you want no need to tinker. Get one of these that works and just keep pounding them down the fairway..................................
Customer Service: not applicable
Similar Products Used: R7 R9 cobra, Callaway, Adams. Every Titleist 909, 907, 905T.
I can't agree more. I have been through the 909's and 907's. Changed to heavier shaft after on season with a 909 Comp. Still a great club but not as consistently solid as my 905T I just put back into play after three years in the basement. Played several rounds in Orlando this month and I had forgotten what a hammer the 905 bore-through driver is. Hit more fairways, longer than I had in three years - all five rounds I played. The 905 somehow is easier to swing and somehow squares better at impact and releases. It is the most perfect design Titleist ever came up with. At least its not made in China. I heard Titleist moved away from bore-through because of design/build costs and greater assembly costs. Just bought a 905R tour issue 9.5 degree head and have a new shaft coming for this season. BANG, I'm back!

Summary: As I only shoot in the 80s I don't hit this thing 300 yards easily, you need to be a 90s shooter chopper to do that. But this is without doubt the best all round driver I've ever hit. Long, sweet feeling and reliable. It ust gives you confidence that you know where the ball will go standing over it. Very consistent ball flight and distance. Got it cheap on ebay too, bargain as I don't think I could find a better driver than this one.
Customer Service: Bought it second hand so have no idea

Summary: Awesome driver, oldie but goodie. I have this and the brand new Adams 9604 something, it's all Black, just got it yesterday. The Adams might be a tad longer by like 5 - 10 yards, but keep in mind my Adams is brand spanking new. Both clubs set up the same, smaller head, I HATE the new giant head drivers. They both also have open faces, not this closed by 1 degree crap for slicers. If you want bang for your buck get this old Titleist 905R, I got it used for $65 compared to the brand new 2010 Adams for $379......... both are awesome drivers and very similar in head size, and set up........
Unless your have a tour only head, the 905R sets up square. All the heads are 460 cc. The shapes of the diffent heads provide optical illusions of diffent sizes. Most of the diffence in distances is due to the shaft, not the head.
