By far the best driver i have ever hit. a great investment of my money. i can work the ball in any direction i can think ok. its long and pure every time. the sweet spot is just the right size. its not for beginers. my friend tried it for some time at the range, he's a 20 hand. or so. Didn't work for him. You need to bring you game to hit this club.

I bought a 975D w/ 10.5* loft and steel shaft (can't be picky when buying used clubs)for $225. The driver worked pretty well with the steel shaft. It was short though 44" which worked fine for me, I'm 5'6", but many others felt it played more like a 3 wood then a driver.

Recently I reshafted with a Bi-matrx shaft. The driver had to be modified slightly to accomidate the new shaft. One the driver no longer is thru-bore, the shaft stops about 1/2" short of the bottom of the club. This had to be done because of the stiff steel tip of the shaft, the club was way to stiff when it was thru-bore. A regular played like an x-tra stiff. Another thing the shaft is slightly heavier than a graffaloy or UST, but heavier than a steel shaft, so the length is somewhere in between 44.5" with a D-4 swing weight.

The shaft works great if you are looking to lower the flight of your ball, and decrease the dispersion. My 10.5* now flies like a 9*. It's as accurate as when it was steel, but I've gained 5 - 10 yards, 240 - 250 yards on average.

A taller player with a low lofted driver may think twice about changing to a bi-matrix shaft, as the club may now be too short and fly too low.

Let me start out by saying that I am a weekend golfer who has worked long and hard to get to a 14 handicap. I love reading these reviews of 300 yard drives. In my quest to improve, I have searched for a driver. The 975D, which is a very nice looking club is not one for the weekend hacker. Although extremely long when hit solid (what driver isn't) it is not very forgiving on off center hits. Also, unlike some of the other drivers such as PING, you need to put a fairly strong even swing on the 975D to maintain control. I so much wanted this club to work for me but I just didn't have the proper mechanic's to achieve a consistant ball flight. In your search remember "Its the Indian, not the arrow that effects the final outcome".

You should never buy a club just because a tour pro uses it. In fact, if you were logical, you would avoid that club unless you had similar playing stats, like a 135mph swing. Despite what some of these reviewers claim, 99.99 percent of them dont have that swing. However, this driver works for good amateurs as well as pros, depending on the shaft. I like it because it is non offset, and does not have a built in hook via a "toe in" head, like Callaways (the worst drivers to ever plague the fairways) and others. I swore I would never pay over 300 bucks for any club, but the first time I hit the 975D at a demo day, I had to have it. It is still the best club in my bag. I have more confidence in it than any other club I own. Apparantly, I am the only reviewer on this site who does not hit three hundred yard drives on a regular basis, but I did gain an honest 15 to 20 yards and more over my old, low tech driver, and hit it much straighter as well. That's all you can ask for.

Great service. The shaft busted on me on the range once, and Titleist was all over it immmediately. Good service

Changed shaft from Stiff stock 45" to EI-70 Stiff 44 1/2". Club feels more stable and very workable. Not necessarily the longets driver ever (hard to tell) but a joy to hit. Looks superb and inspires confidence. Shorter shaft aids accuracy which is the most important thing.

This is by far the best driver I have ever used. I hit the ball further than ever and I'm more consistently in the fairway. I left the regular flex stock shaft that it came with and I'm surprised to find that I can control it.

It is very easy to hit this club straight. The first few times I used it I was impressed. I later realized I was not getting the distance I should. A good drive for me is 270-280 and the best I can do with this club is 250. It is a heavy feeling club with a swingweight of D5. It is very high quality but way overpriced at $400. It is a better club in my opinion than any Callaway or Taylor Made that I have ever hit. Titleist does atleast put a quality shaft in their drivers. I just built my own KZG maraging face driver with a Proforce 65 shaft, and I like it much more than the Titleist. I liked the old Howitzer better than this 975. Like I said this is easy to hit straight if you don't mind spending the money. It just was not right for me.

I just got driver back from having a new head put on (old one had a loose tip weight) After using my Mizuno Forged Ti for about 5 weeks I thought I had grown to like it. The difference between
these two drivers goes like this: With the Mizuno you hit what you think is a bomb as you are walking up where you think the ball went in the fairway you find a ball about 10-15 yds shorter than what you felt. With the Titleist you hit a solid (not great) drive and your ball is 10-15 yds farther than what you felt and the good ones are very long. The club muffles the impact but the ball just goes and goes and rolls and rolls. I find it hard to get into trouble with this club.

Customer Service

Titlest was great about replacing the head at no charge. They tried to fix it first and sent it back and the weight came loose right away so they gave me a brand new head and I did not even buy the driver new.

I believe it is one of the best drivers on the market. Very solid feel and excellent distance. I presently play with 8.5 degree loft with a stiff shaft and I find the combination works well for me. Even on off center hits, some sacrifice in distance but results aren't anywhere as punishing as my Callaway Great Big Bertha. Great Trajectory. Let two of my friends try it and now they both own one....need I say more?

What this club will do is get you nicely down the fairway with a slower swing speed. I can go between 250-270 with a nice, easy swing. It is not forgiving in the sense that if you don't hit the ball consistently the club will not correct for errors. I went to the range yesterday and hit a bucket of ball with nothing but the 975 and every ball went exactly where it should when hit correctly/incorrectly ( you can easily imagine water and woods here). Don't expect miracles w/it. Do expect sweet drives when you treat it right. Also, mine is 9.5 degree w/reg. flex graph. shaft, and ball flight seems higher in general than one would expect - like a 10.5 stainless counterpart. Go figure.
