905R - Best Titleist Driver Ever
66 of 70 people found this review helpful.
I've played Titlesit drivers for several years, with the exception of a Cleveland Launcher 460 I bought last year. I did not like the ball flight of Launcher (way too high), so my Titleist 475J-VS went back into my bag. I had no desire to try another 460cc driver. However, after reading many positive reviews on the 905R, I decided to give it a try.
I bought a 905R 9.5 with the YS-6+ shaft on eBay about 3 weeks ago. My previous experience with upgrading to the next generation of Titlesist driver was somewhat underwhelming because the difference was not that dramatic and justification for the amount of money spent was difficult. This is definitely not the case with the 905R. The day I got it, I went to my course and used it to tee off on the first hole. My first thought when I saw my ball keep going and going was "Who hit that ball?" The difference between my previous Titleist driver and the 905R is amazing and well worth the cost. I've never felt better about paying as much for something that I probably didn't need. The ball flight seems to be perfect for me; it bores into the wind very well and seems to get pretty decent roll. It's longer than any other driver I've hit and amazingly straight, even with a marginal swing. Even though the distance suffers from a mishit, the ball usually ends up pretty close to the intended line.
Unlike previous Titlest drivers, I think the 905R would be a good fit for most average golfers. The forgiveness is unbelievable and it really sets up nice at address. Even though the head is 460cc's, it doesn't look out of proportion as do some of the 460cc drivers. Every golfer is a little different and the equipment we use is definitely not a "one size fits all". The 905R seems to be a perfect fit for me and will stay in my bag for a long long time.
