Titleist 975J Drivers 

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. ~CB

Model Reviewed: 975J Grafalloy 35+S (now changing to R-flex)

This one is very good.
Long and straight.
Just one thing on the - side:
A Grafalloy 35+ S-shaft turns to a X-flex during to the "bore thrue-hosel", so if you normally play a S-shaft; You better chose a Regular flex in this one (some information about this from Titleist would be recommending).

Model Reviewed: 975J

This club is superior to the 975D in both distance and accuracy. The ball jumps off of the face much hotter than the D. I'am hitting the ball probably 20-25 yards longer and more consistantly than the D. The difference in the accuracy of mis-hits is very noticable. The ball stays in play and still travels a respectable distance on off-center hits. The J does hit the ball higher than the D, but I don't loose much roll. This club has enabled me to shoot in the 70's more than once since I bought it. It really doesn't matter to me what noise it makes or doesn't make. The end result is that I've gained a ton of confidence and I'm shooting lower scores.

Solid feeling club, good feedback, choose a shaft that fits your swing or it won't feel particulary good. Just as long as the TM series but more consistent.

Spent much time comparing Ping TISI, TM 320 and 360 and Titleist 975D&J. Each player will have their own opinion, mine was that the 975J edged out the TM 360. Titleist Clubhead was smaller and more manageable, more comfortable setup as well. Very solid feel, good ball flight, good carry.

Model Reviewed: titleist 975J driver 8.5* UL 60

I tried for 4 weeks several demo of the 975J... Graffaloy, UL, UST and even GD shaft... Tried also some different loft... but the 8.5 was the best because it was bringing me more roll, even with a lot of carry.
However, carry is maybe the biggest difference between the D and the J... Sure you have more forviness, but the head is also bigger. Didnt like the Ping sound too...
This driver is hot, no doubt, get it if you play on a course where you have to carry those long fairway bunkers...
Personnally, i will stick with my D, as long as the J is not available with a steel shaft, and ill probably keep my D.

I was tested by my rep, so i will give you what i had with my D and J, so you can compare...
975D carry avg... 274
975 carry + roll... 302
975J carry... 287
975J carry and roll... 297

Off course, if you play on soft fairway... the J is probably better...

IT's a matter of personal choice !!!

Model Reviewed: Titleist 975J 8.5 with E-70 Stiff

I have bought this club for about 2 weeks, but seldom play it on course, since I seem cannot play the same shot that I did on driving range. So I am still using my Trimetal plus 14 * to tee off to keep my score low.

I don't know if I should trade this in for some other clubs. But every time I hit it on the range, that ball goes so long and so streight, I say to myself that this is a keeper. The bottom line is that this club is really for low handicaper who can have a A swing all the time. It is not a game improvement driver like TM 360 or Callaway VFT. Problem is that TM 360 and VFT are so ugly at address, and the ball all tend to fly to the right, which is good if you are looking for a fade. But for me, since fade always makes me feel that I am slicing again, and this 975 J only respond to right swing, so I am very confused what to do now.

I guess it is my swing, not the club. So I have to deal with it. All pros stay with the club that works. We should do the same.

I wanted something more consistently forgiving, and hopefully longer, than my Steelhead. i demo'd every driver out there for the past month, but settled on the J almost immediately. Tried many shafts and lofts over past two weeks and bought the 9.5* today...best shaft I demo'd was the Prolite 35 Stiff... bought that club, but am swapping out for the Prolite 35 Regular...which I hope will give me a little more distance. This is a GREAT club.....sets up great despite the faily large head. I've found it easy to draw consistenty and easy to hit straight. Finally got to play a round with it today, and even taped up I hit 10 out of 12 fairways! Whats pretty remarkable is that mishits still got pretty good distance and didn't venture far from the fairway....I came over the top on one drive and ended up just off the left of the fairway 210 yards. That swing with my Steelhead would have ended up in the lake on that side! My only complaint so far is that I hit some great drives that did not seem to fly any further than my best Steelehad drives.... but I had a stiff prolite 35 in the demo (REAL stiff) so I'm hoping to get a little more distance from the regular flex shaft... it DOES fly awfully high, which is why I went with 9.5* vs. the 10.5*...I found it easy to shoot it low into the wind, however, just by teeing it up lower and smoothing out my swing... tho the head size makes this a little iffy.... gotta say, all in all, I really like this driver.

Ok, let's be honest. If you buy the 975J, or any "monster" driver because you think it will magically correct your game, you are going to be in for a nasty surprise. I'm betting that all those reviewers, where they say it sliced badly or they kept topping it, are people who were playing just as badly before they purchased the 975J.

It's been said that it's the player, not the club. The 975J is no exception. Know what? When I make a mistake, be it topping or slicing, the club does exactly what it should do: Magnify that effect.

From the very first swing, the 975J felt strong and very capable. I immediately gained 20+ yards per drive, and I'm still getting used to it.

As far as the sound of striking the ball, I cannot believe that some people would see that as a negative towards getting this terrific club. If you bought your club strictly for the ping sound, and the attention of more people, you go ahead and enjoy all of them looking as you "ping" that ball into the trees! Love that sound now?

To love that dull thud the 975J makes is akin to Harley riders loving the sound of their exhaust.

If you really work with the 975J, you will quickly love everything about it. And you know what? Nobody is looking at you, your club, or where the sound came from, when they are too busy following that monster drive you just sent down the middle of the fairway.

Great driver. I used to use my 975D. The biggest difference between the drivers is the mishit drives with the J will go straighter and longer while the perfectly struck drive remain about the same as the D. Therefore, in my opinion, you're paying more for the J to straighten out the off-sweet spot drives no neccessarly to hit drives that much farther. i think it's worth the price.
