I personally like to have it slightly deeper face, however a beggar can't be choosy, Right?

Seriously, It's deep enough for me to grow w/ it definitely.

Feel Improvement is the biggest different IMO compare w/ the S and T. It has a distinctive sound of Titleist driver and their classic shape.

I'll definitely play this club without force.

905R is very SQ Tour looking in size.

[Johnny]

I seem to recall other candy of the same favor...where is it

[golfer_junior]

Any word on whether this is the low launch low sping version like els was playing or a higher trajectory one?

[IMAGOLFER]

Does the R look really closed to anyone else? it just the camera angle?

[r7tp4me]

I have just started using a 905T, I am quite impressed with it. Not attached to it, but impressed by it !!! It was also my first time at a Titleist, well worth having a crack at one !!!

Sound is not as loud as you think they are. Like i ssaid on the previous post, it's really a distinctive Titleist sound IMO.

We, Me and Other touring pro were hitting it in my net and his comment goes pretty quick from his mouth "nice" and "finally I've feel like the old days"
And from my mouth "Hmm interesting!" and "I think i want one too".

Well! between both of us, we have tried and owned pretty much almost any tour issue club ever build out there, So you can't really count on our words for it. LOL!

[progolfer33]

Really good looking driver despite being soo large. Thanks for the pics. very good.

[ft3fusion]

Really really kool looking pictures!!! Finally Titleist made big headed driver. Is the 905R have a same volume with Nike SQ and Callaway FT3 (ie.460cc)?

[Mr Mizuno]

The 905S is so schweeet
This baby might be an option for christmas.

[Putt4doh]

Enough! This is complete torture! I must have the new Titty gear! from the irons right up the bag to the driver. March can't come soon enough!!!

[ohmslaw]

I love most things Titliest but for some reason, the 905R does nothing for me, I'll give it a miss for now (well, until I see it in person), besides, I've had 2/3 460cc drivers and could never get on with any of them.

[tpariff]

Joe,

Thanks for the pics. Tell you what...you keep my r5 TP / Rombax combo and send me the 905R.

Kevin

[tickyboy]

Pretty nice looking....but I'll wait to see it in person. It will also be interesting to see how titleist's first 460cc sized driver holds up to other companies who have had drivers of that size out for a few generations now.

[auggiewest]

Maybe I'll go back to Titleist after being a D-JVS-K owner I opted for G2
over the T. Hoping the R can unseat the G2.

[golfcraze]

ouch!!!!!

Master Kwok, With you around, lots of toothache with all them
CANDY.

where's the FW..... WANNA SEE WANNNA SEEEEEEE

[vanquish007]

Believe me, the 'R is as big as it looks in the first picture!! And by the way, only the angle of the pic makes it look closed. I've seen one up close and personal (at least the tour version).........didn't get to hit though....

Great pictures Joe!!

[Eddie]

the scoring lines on the face of the R make the sweetspot appear to look so small...

but i can't wait to try that, oh how I miss my 975D....

[addamsmith]

Thank's Joe
Best wishes

Joe you are truly causing me heartache and agony waiting for this stuff to come out.... the 905R will be in my bag. one of the new iron set dont know which yet though either the 660,695mb or the 735cm. the 585h, and some new wedges to replace mine which are wearing down.

But truly you are causing me some serious mental issues that i may need some help resolving... if you get any of these that you want to sell please let me know...


thanks in advance,

DaN "goose"

Joe u truly have some great stuff in your posession.

[crispies]

That sir, is a classy looking golf-ball hitting device.

[OrangeCrush]

Joe,

A couple of questions for ya.

1. Is the 905R a neutral face and neutral weighted head?
2. How is the ball flight vs. the 905S?

Also what is your experience with changing the weighting in the 983K/905T to make them not draw biased? I have read that some shops offer the service of I guess by adding some weighting (is this where I read about the famous rat glue being used?) to counter the weighting that Titleist installed.

Thanks,

Mike

1st and second questions is impossible for me to answer it. I have no experience playing it yet as this club are not mine. They are one of the tour players club.

Rat glue changing the bias of the club?

Hmmmm! Let me put it this way, Rat glue on a summer time inside the trunk of a car can liquify to a point that it will move/run to what ever the club head laid.

Changing a bias of a club from inside the club head, especially on a big head drivers will require significant weight changes to the static weight of the head. Imagine if i put 10 grm lead tape on the toe of the driver, it will only move 1/8" toward the toe and 10 grm will change 5 swing weight point. Also the gear effect will probably start changing noticably at 8-10 gr. Lead tape is good enough or for the real crazy and fuzzy thinkerer, They can clean up the rat glue inside first and replace it w/ mixture of 24 epoxy and tungsten powder and place it to what ever bias you want to be.

IMO if we are talking about retail club, the "most" significant changes for ball flight is from shaft providing you don't have a non extreme club head ( extreme close face or offset ). For example, if you put a tip stiff, high kick and low torque shaft and installed it slightly stiffer than your swing speed...i'm almost sure you'll have a hard time turning your ball left unless if you have a swing flaws/problems.

Just my 2 cents!

I'm reading elsewhere that the 905R is tingy sounding. I hope not llike the R7 and R5 tincans (tour included).

[golf4psu]

The 905 R from what I understand is about 1/2* open, but is no weight bias in the head. Also, from what I know about the driver, the head is designed to impart a little higher flight and more spin. The original reason that not everyone switched from the 983 was that the S & T took off too much spin for some players...so they introduced a larger head and made it have more playable properties for all players...Hope the info. helps!

Joe,

Thanks for the education. I was taking a total guess on the rat glue but thr latter option is probably what they are doing. It apprears you can really do what you want with any head that like you said is not totally closed/open face.

I hit Titleist drivers the best for some reason and I would like to have a driver with a wider hitting area in the face like the 905T vs 905S. With prices dropping like flies on Ebay, I can get a 905T for < $225.00 so spending the small $$$ to have a shop "neutralize" the head might be what I need.

Thanks,

Mike

I wonder if that could be cured with some foam?
