Titleist 983K Driver Golf Club

The Titleist 983K 8.5 degree driver with made for Titleist Fujikura Speeder Stiff graphite shaft is an outstanding driver. The perfect marriage for a swing speed around 100 to 105mph. The 365 cc head is large enough to be comfortable and forgiving, but small enough to make this club very workable. In many opinions the best Titleist has to offer and remains among the top five search items on the PGA Value website. I have played the 983K for several years. I have two an 8.5 degree and 9.5 degree the latter I use for tighter fairways. I have had the oppurtunity to use many of the new drivers including the newer Titleists but still play and will continue to play the 983K until I find something better. I bought several of them last year on Ebay because I would lend my backup to friends and they offered to buy it rather than give it back. I am amazed that at 62 years of age I hit the ball further than ever and still find I can work the ball with this driver. The Titleist 983K is a best buy club for high and low handicap players.

The 983K puts the lie to the old sage that titleists are hard to hit and therefore only in the bags of very low handicappers. I purchased over two dozen drivers this winter on Ebay on my quest to find one I could hit well. The 983K is definitly high on that list. The list includes; Taylormades 360 and 360XD, 420 burner, 510, 540, 540XD and 580XD; Callaways from Bobby Jones, through most of the big berthas and GBB II 380 and 415; The Titleist 904T; Srixon 302 and 403, Cleveland 330, 400 and 460 Launchers, (my opinion? the 330 is still the longest stick made), and Cobras..the beautiful Cobras 350SS 380SS, 427SS, 400 SZ and 440 SZ, yep I think the 350SS is the best Cobra.

The 983K Titleist is very hard to beat for consistent straight and long. I have drivers that I can hit a little further...but consistent straight is awesome in a Titleist.

Perhaps the most important thing I learned buying drivers on EBay is that he isn't selling that driver cause it's the best stick he's got. You can bet if it's for sale on EBay somebody had trouble hitting it. Why is it that drivers of the same OEM make and model hit differently?

When you take one apart it becomes apparent why that is. The shafts are all different. The need for spine alignment is no myth and a good shaft is more than half the club. The good news? There are all kinds of clubmakers around who can fix that for you...hell you can do what I did and learn to do it for yourself. Few hundred invested in your shop and you can learn to get those shafts installed optimum quickly.

The 983Ks come with a variety of shafts. I like the prolite 35S by far the best of the shafts that came in my three 983ks. I have found that the best by far after market 983K is the fujikura speeder made FOR Titleist by Fujikura, not by Titleist or in partnership like other manufacturers do.

The prolite is a high kick, low weight, low torque shaft which means it's easier to get consistent good contact and the trajectory tends to be low and boring. On a 983K which is not one of those gigantic watermelon heads, (385) this combination works well for me. The speeders are heavier and offer mid to high trajectory. I will admit can hit the 983K speeder a good long way.

Overall the 983K is a great stick. I can generate respectable clubhead speed even with the heavier speeder on it. It's an incredible buy now on EBay and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the power of titanium, likes the classic pear shape nongigantic head and let's face it..do you know anyone playing titleists that doesn't swagger a bit?

Long, straight, and true. Very forgiving. Use a stiff shaft, put a Softee grip on it, and haven't blocked a shot or hit a hook for over a year. Like the 905 too, but this is my favorite.

I have tried every driver on the market. This is simply best lookin, most solid feel and Longest. Did I say longest.

i love this driver, it is the best feel and most forgiving driver i have ever hit. i would highly recommend purchasing this club if your in the market.

I did go to a Golf Store and tested out this club and the Taylor Made R7 425 and liked this one better!!!! This club has amazing feel to it!!! The sound didn't sound as good as the Tarlor Made but did feel tons better!! But, the sound doesn't matter to me as long as I can get the distance and accuracy out of the driver!! This one seemed to go in the same place every single time!! The Taylor Made went left, right, short and not as long. This club is an excelent buy for the price you can get out of it!!

Much longer than the 905 series drivers but not as forgiving. I hit the 905T an average of 260 while the 983K gave an average of 280. Off center hits will hook or slice more with the 983K though. Stick with the Grafalloy or Aldila shafts with the 983K. Higher bend point for more control.

This club is awsome for the more advanced player.
Sweet spot is a bit small,but when hit right?
This baby will put it out there long. The pear
shaped designed head looks good at address.
The solid sound and feel at contact is sweet.
It was designed to have inner welds that put
the weight distribution in the head that will
favor a draw flight and personally find it to be
a true statement.This draw however can turn into
a hook,especially if you already play a draw.
A little work on the driving range and you can work
it out.
I play in the high 70,s low 80,s
I would recommend this club to the better player,
And I think you'll love it.

This club is not for everyone. Dont get me wrong, it is a nice driver and its good for most players, but if you are new to the game and looking for a performance driver, Titelist might not be the brand for you. It has a good sweet spot and feels very smooth to swing, but the club face and sweep spot are not the best for begginers. Titelist is a well known and respected brand and I can say Ive very much enjoyed the driver and it has done wonders for my long ball.

the driver is excellente and the shaft its even better. that shaft is the one that works better with that driver.

My online research of the Titleist 983K driver had a constant theme. Almost everyone that rated this club said it was an excellent value. After one day at the range I think they were all correct. It was long and straight almost every swing. I can't wait to take it out the course and give it a real test.

Perfect fit. Club head not too big, not too small, larger sweet spot than what I am use to, forgiving on miss hits, consistantly hitting 280+ straight, (9 handicap). May need to regrip from a 1/2 cord to a regular golf pride grip ... otherwise, right down the middle!

Actually, the driver was in better condition than I thought it would be. I did some research and was looking for a driver that had good reviews. There are so many products coming out every year and coming out fast. It can be confusing.You ask yourself, which one is suited for my game? So, I thought go back to a proven product. Let me tell you something, I don't care what comes out.The Titleist 983K is a proven driver.It's sweet!

had previously owned a 983k driver that I hit as well as any driver I had ever owned, however, I feel prey to the hype of the major club manufactuers about the bigger headed drivers and started switching from one to another in search of what I had gotten rid of in my 983k. Finally made up my mind and purchased the 983k from ebay, happy days are here again. I am again hitting the driver like I knew I was capable of but did not find in the bigger headed drivers. The size and shape of the 983k suits my eye. Guess I will play this one until I put the clubs in the garage for good. Thanks to ebay for making the club available and the seller for their prompt shipment and the club being everything they advertised.

A great club is one that fits you. Never let anyone let you believe that his magic club can some how turn your ugly duckling swing into a swan, unless you both have same flaws. This is especially true for this club. Cautionary note is that shaft is just as important as the head.
I have prolite. It's because I tend to miss high and fade with too much spin on drivers. Low tragectory of the prolite is God sent. I used to play TM 580XD & R5 N. These are great clubs too, but they tend to hit high and Neutral. 540XD was not an option as many draw clubs tends to be high trajectory + high spin.
This fits me well, as it shoots low and draws with very low spin. This is just what I need for my flaws. I get much more roll out of it with similar carry as TM for this reason, especially on a windy day. Don't make a mistake of getting this thing if you can't get your ball airborn. I had so many people frustrated by this club due to ultra low trajectory.
YS-6 is nice shaft, but it felt too soft (hits higher) and Adlia NV was just too hard (feel + hit). I won't even go into std Titleist shaft - junk.
Compared to 905R, I see some improvement with the new club, but I just could not find the right shaft and price justification (more this than the shaft). Also, I don't need the larger head, which can feel like a drag.
Beside, I can do one thing with smaller head. If I have a hot lie like secondary rough, I can actually use the smaller head as an advantage. I can hit em off the turf like fairway wood. Pls, don't laugh, I am extemely good with fw. So, I can do this pretty well. My short game is another matter... (ya-iks)

I'm a 5 Handicapper and I don't change equipment much. I keep seeing the great deals on EBAY as it relates to Titleist Products. I decided to bid on the 983K driver. I've change my whole set of clubs to Titleist because of this driver. It is indeed the perfect club. I can work the ball with ease or just crush it down the middle. It has a boring ball flight, which is what you need to shoot low. Don't miss out on this one, it's the best our there right now.

After trying a driver like the 983k Idecided totry to find a used one to purchase. So far, the club works well for me. I've rated the product "Good" because it has been good for me. I feel an excellant rating would mean I never miss with it....not so.

Product is great quality, almost like new, and exactly as advertised. I decided to buy from e-bay to test the qulaity of golf products on e-bay. I was also able to save considerable money versus prucahasing as a used product from a golf shop.

I purchased the Titleist 983K driver three weeks ago and I love it. This driver has provided me greater distance off the tee with better accuracy. I have easily gained 15 to 20 yards with this driver. I purchased the driver only after I demo'd the same club so it made my purchasing decision very easy.....I knew exactly the driver I wanted, including the exact shaft and flex. I would definately recommend this driver to anyone who is looking to improve his game.

It's exactally what I was looking for. The correct shaft, club head, degree of loft, and grip. The club is very forgiving, and one of the most dominating clubs made for a driver. I'm very happy I purchased it.

My husband had been looking for this club and when I saw it on Ebay I purchased it for him. The club is even he better then he thought it would be and he has enjoyed using the club.

the best driver i have ever used. i have changed a lot of drivers myself. starting from callaway, orlimar, adams, king cobra and titleist. i have been using titleist 975j 9.5* stiff shaft for a while and it is quite good driver though. i tried 295cc with 9.5*, 10.5* and ended up at 385cc 9.5* which gave me the longest distance but after i had this club, 983k 365cc 8.5* i can beat out nike 460cc from the pro tee off with no sweat.

Wanted like-new driver and did not want to pay new club price. Will use it for the first time this weekend but if it is anything like my 975 I'll be very pleased.
