Summary: I just tried this driver today, 11-05-09. It is on consignment from a golf store. I'm 61, was driving the ball 235 into a 25 to 30 mile wind, using skycaddie reference, two drives of 278 and 301 with wind. I've been using a Ping G2, with adilia NVSA reg shaft. Never hit my Ping like this. Great Driver.

Summary: had this driver for about 2 years now and still love it. i hit about 220-240 off the tee with it normally. when you hit this out of the middle it really flies i get about 50yards more!!! tried all the other new drivers out there with a pro not long ago and he told me to keep the one i had. guess it must still be a top driver with pro's like ross fisher and robert karlsson still using it.

Summary: After playing this club for a month I can only say I don't see why anyone would play another driver. When you pick up a Titleist club it doesn't take long to see why their equipment is more expensive than most. You can just feel the quality. The 905R has the solid feel that translates to quality. It almost feels like one of the old persimmon drivers it's so solid. The Fujikura Speeder stiff shaft and 9.5 degree loft are perfect for me ( age 51 ). I'll settle for 240-250 in the fairway every time....... I'd think twice about purchasing a more recent model before trying this one.
Customer Service: Never needed.

Summary: Used a Titleist 975D 10.5 that I won in a Tournament years ago, and had very good results. Compared to the new largers drivers, I have been loosing distance on my drives, compared to playing partners, deciding it was time to get a new driver. I had tried a number of the new drivers, but found that I seemed to hit everything too high, almost balooning my shots. I sensed that I needed lower loft because of this, so I bought a 905R in 8.5 degree and a stiff shaft. Its great. Ball flight is lower, and the ball is very workable. More forgiving that my 975D despite the reduction in loft. Don't tell my swing coach, as he always tended to take the lower lofted drivers out of my hands. Well, I'm not tell him this time around. Love the club. Got it on EBay, so it was very reasonable.
Similar Products Used: I like Titleist products. fairway wood, hybrid clubs 22 degree, and a Scotty Cameron 3.5 Sergio Garcia Limited Edition putter.

Summary: I've used a Callaway Great Big Bertha Hawkeye for what seems like forever now. I have never been a big fan of the 400cc - 460cc driver because it looked too bulky to hit; however, the Titleist 905R hides its bulk extremely well at address and doesn't feel like you're swinging a "turtle on a stick."
I would highly recommend this club. After testing drivers for about a month at local stores, I stumbled across a used 905R with a regular flex shaft. Since I normally used a stiff flex, this presented a problem. I've always been a huge proponent of the UST Proforce shafts. Fortunately, I found my driver on Ebay for a very reasonable price.
I would even go as far as to rate this club over the newer 909D-series of drivers available - especially if you are trying to save a buck or two.
