This club is pure hitting club, and is very easy to control.

An excellent driver, I found it much more playable and consistent that the 975D, for whatever reason. You can hit it out of the fairway easily, and it can really work the ball. I found it more visually appealing than the 975. I tried different shafts and lofts, and found that the select shaft produced a more consistent line and trajectory than the regular ultralite shaft.

This is the best driver I've ever heard of or seen. The roll face and smaller head size makes it vastly superior to the Deep Face model.

This is a great driver if you can swing it. I had the 975D before this and got off many good drives, but i could never really control them. Sure, I hit my farthest with the 975D at 290 yards, but the 976R gives much more control. I can consistantly hit it 250-280 with total control. I have a smooth swing, so I generally hit the sweet spot every time. If you cant though, DO NOT GET IT!!! You need a very consistant swing for this club. I love it though, and think it is better than the 975D because of the control I have with this one.

I bought this driver from pro who was changing to a Ping Tisi for more forgivness, I should have thought of that before I bought it from him! Visually the club cannot be faulted, it sits well behind the ball. With a good swing, the ball takes of on a low and boring flight,But unless you can consistently find the middle of the face this club is not very forgiving. Mine has 9 degrees loft and a stiff select shaft, in hindsight I would have been better off with a regular flex it did feel good on the practice range though!

Excellent club. Easy to control with the 44" shaft. I play the XStiff select which is as close to steel you can get. Average 20 more yards than my old Cobra metal driver and I don't have to exert as much effort to get it there. The club head isn't as enormous as the 975D, so it sets up nicely at address. It doesn't really have the bulge on the face either.

The setup and look of the club are both superb, the club sat perfectly square at address and the sheer size of the clubhead fills you with confidence. However I felt that the feel from the club head is too harsh at impact and the full cord grip does nothing for your hands except give them blisters. To get the ball to go any distance whatsoever takes the most precise of strikes dead in the middle or your ball is headin' for the jungle. I had a stiff shaft on my club which in the end seemed to be far too stiff; however I'm sure that had I changed it for a regular I would probably have got on a whole lot better. One thing which is outstanding about the club is that if you do crack one out the middle your ball is going miles down the hole maybe not down the fairway but it certainly gives you a shorter club to the green. Ok maybe the club wasn't for me, but if you're looking for a driver which gives a low, powerful ball flight, check out the 975D.

This is a club for golfers who appreciate the feedback that smaller headed woods and forged irons offer. Definitely one to demo before purchase, as the shafts seem to be on the stout side - I normally swing firm to stiff shafts, but with this club I play the regular shaft, and even with the 10.5 degs loft model have no problems with high trajectory. The standard graphite shaft is on the short side by modern standards at 44"", which I like, and which probably suits ""hitters"" more than ""swingers"", and is a heavier shaft than the one that the deep face drivers come with (a 45"" model). Incidentally, the fairway woods can be special ordered with this shaft weight instead of the lightweight standard graphite at no extra cost, which I did, and have been very happy with the club.

Currently back and forth between the 975R with Stiff shaft and my Kenneth Smith custom persimmon with steel shaft. The Titleist is the closest driver I've tried that sets up and gives a similar feel to the KS. Most metal drivers I've tried seem too lifeless and hard coming off the ball. Also I pick up about 5+ yrds with the Titeist. I attibute this to a slightly longer shaft. Other drivers I've had in my bag include Yonex titanium, Big Bertha steel shaft, and Ping Persimmon. PS: I'm a 9.4 handicap and hit my driver about 260.
