Titleist 975J Drivers

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

I really liked this club, but I have to admit that I liked both the Mizuno T-Zoid, and especially, I really liked the TaylorMade 360ti. On this club however, I found that it was a very consistent club and generated a good deal of distance. I think theonly reason that I like the other ones was the "feel". I attribute this more to the swinger than the club.

I do believe that this club does allow you to work the ball more than the others. At the same time, that alos creates a less forgiving club, but by no means is the 975 unforgiving!

Great driver, great club to have. The price recently has lowered as well. If you are in the market for a new driver, it is well worth your time to give this one a try.

On another subject, it is too bad that some stupid 14 year old got in here and posted comments that are completely senseless. This is a GREAT site, and thanks to all of you who took the time to post postive feedback in here. Apparantly Morgan bought the club thinking he could use it with his Playstation, but that must not have been in the directions. Morgan, stick with your Snoopy driver and don't worry, one day you will have a friend. Just say goodnight to him when he goes to sleep in the bunk above ya in the cellblock.

This is the best driver that I have ever encountered. I have hit straighter and longer shots of the tee that I ever had. The new pro lite shaft makes the club that much better as well. I ended up giving my other driver (TaylorMade 320)to my brother for his birthday, because it certainly wasn't helping me.

The "J" is a more forgiving version of the "D" model. You gain a higher straighter ball flight, but sacrifice some ability to work the ball. I have found that I can still hit a fade when needed, hitting a draw is a touch harder, the most I can turn it over consistently is about 7 yards, usually less. Due to the higher launch/lower spin that this driver produces I persoanlly am carrying the ball further, and therefore getting some distance increase. Biddest thing that this driver does for me is the boost in confidence that I get knowing that I am going to hit it where I am aiming, and tha tleaves me playing form the fairway a lot more often. As for those who seem to have a limited view fo the world where everthing is S*it and S@cks, why don't you just go play with your playstation or whatever you use to amuse your feeble mind, and come back when you grow up and can add something of value to this quality site instead of submitting your worthless garbage and calling it a review. If the Titleist Product doesn't suit you, then fine, don't use it. It doesn't mean that it's Cr@p or anything of the sort. I don't care for Callaway stuff in general, but that doesn't mean they make S@it clubs.

Great driver, with J you can have long drives but with it's 9.5 loft it is not so forgiving driver if you compare it to 10-12 degrees. If you have the 975D, dont change it to this J-model, D is still one of the best drivers. But remember, dont overswing ;)

I just pick this baby up yesterday with 7.5 degree and a ust proforce 75 shaft. Tried it out last night at a local driving range. I was teeing it kind of low and hitting only with all crapy old range ball, but the result was amazing!!
I've carried about 230 yards with the smooth range ball with a very low tragetory. Even with some toe hits the ball still go straight and never went off line. Very, very little side spin on the ball. Would recommend it all level of players with a decent swing. Well worth the money.

Model Reviewed: 975J EI-70 stiff

On the whole i was not happy with this compared to the 975D. Granted that it is a very well made driver it doesn't give me the same control as my 975D. It gives you a little me of a higher ball flight, and cuts down the spin a bit, and i've got nothing against that. But i'll stick with the 975d.

Note: I don't think this morgan person plays golf, and if he does he must not play very well. the 975j is a very good club and easy to hit. also he needs to cuss a lot and thats just makes him look dumb. I don't really think he trys the clubs he postes reviews on as well, since they all seem to have the same content in them too.

First of all what the hell is a fairway extreme clubs. I can only guess that it is a cheap knockoff crappy 3 or 5 wood. I guess morgan just cant handle a driver like a real man. It doesn't matter what kind of driver you hit if you cant hit a driver

Model Reviewed: Titleist 975J 10.5 w/ EI70

This is an awesome driver!! I recently switched from a 975D with a steel shaft to this club. I have much more control with this driver and hit it 20 yards further. I hit a natural draw which seems to fit well with this club. However, if need be, I can hit a fade as well. I have a medium-strong grip so the 10.5 degree with this shaft seems to fit me well. EI-70 shafts are a bit heavier than the standard Titleist shafts which gives me more feel with this club. I would recommend this club to anyone who wants to improve their game, just take time and find the right shaft/loft combination.

I demoed this club for six rounds, and I found great results despite the collapse of other aspects of my game. Although I just purchased a Mizuno T-Zoid, I loved this club as well. The loft on the 9.5 degree club was perfect for my game, and there was a good degree of control despite a poor overall swing (as I am making technical changes). Power and feel were great. I also tried the VFT for six holes, and I found the 975J to be more solid and better for my particular style of play. The cost is a little steep compared to the T-Zoid, and that is probably the biggest drawback. However, the driver is important and this club is a good investment in any good players bag.

Model Reviewed: 975J 8.5 with EI-70 stiff

Had no real complaints with my faithful 975D, but I tried the 975J and found an extra 25-30 yards. Most of that comes from roll. My 975D was a 9.5 with the Ultralite stiff. The 975J is an 8.5 with an EI-70 stiff, which keeps it lower. Both drivers provide equal distance in the air, but I get that extra yardage with the newly found roll after it lands. Oddly enough, before I bought I also tried 2 other 975D's - an 8.5 and a 9.5 - both with the EI-70 stiff and couldn't hit either as well as my original 975D or the new 975J.

Customer Service

I special ordered it. No real problems
