I've pretty much demo'd every driver known to man, and after all was said & done i have gone back to this 300cc baby. It was the driver that started it for Titleist. I prefer the smaller head to the volvos on a stick made nowadays. paired with the right shaft, this driver is as solid as any. square face angle, looks great at address. it's very long & accurate for a better player. it's not very forgiving, so choppers should stay away. you can get a mint condition 975J on ebay for beans these days, bargain of the century.

This is the best driver that I have ever had. I have the UST Proforce 75 S flex shaft in it and the low torque lets me hit it a mile every time. I can always hit it confidently with this club and there is nothing better than I have had. I drove 100 miles to Golf Mart in Dublin Ca to spend $30.00 on a new driver. That was 4 years ago. Why spend an arm and a leg for new stuff when there is tons of quality used equipment for much much less.

I bought my Titleist 975J several years ago. It was the first driver that I ever really felt comfortable with. Eventually, I "graduated" to a Taylormade R7 425. This year I bought a used Cleveland Launcher 400 driver as a backup. Both clubs are nice and I have nothing bad to say about them. I was having problems hitting fairways this year though. My wife had pulled my 975J out of the basement to use in a company golf event. I had forgotten about it. Just for fun I put it back in my bag and took it to the range. Wow!! Why did I ever let this club go? I hit it straighter AND farther. Trust me. Bigger is not better.

I'm getting back into golf after a ten year lay off (played some in college) and man oh man. Last week I picked up a used Titleist 983 at a local Golf Galaxy and was happy with this one. Was in another Golf Galaxy this weekend and was just looking around. Knowing that I needed to have a spare I picked up this 975. Before I selected it, I tried out the 905, the R7 and the R5 and honestly this is the only one that felt any good. Took it to the range last night and after getting my swing in order, man oh man, it seemed to want to run as far away as it could from the club head. Every time I swung it. It was easily topping 200 and for me who was hitting 150 a few weeks ago this is amazing.

I am off 10 handicap and while i was waiting for my new R7 draw to be delived i was using this club for the weekend! i could not beleive how nice it was and how straight i hit it! i have a natural cut on my shots which sometimes turns into a slice on my drive! but this was so forgiving and i hit 14 fairways in my round of 79! very happy and it is in my bag infront of the new taylormade r7!

I've been taking up golf again and decided it was time to start trying some real players clubs. I didn't want to invest a whole lot of money, so I picked up a Titleist 975J 8.5 with a UST stiff shaft online for $20. It's amazing! I've test drove a number of newer drivers such as the R5, R7, Big Bertha 454, Hi-Bore and none of them suited me quite like the 975J does. My previous driver is an Nickent Super Concorde and while I had some success with it, it's night and day with the Titleist.

Some people may think a smaller headed driver is harder to hit than the new big ones but I didn't find that to be true. When I drive this Titleist, it carries about 240-250 in the air and rolls maybe another 20 yards. It has great momentum when it lands. Now my consistancy isn't where I want it to be, but I'm sure with a little practice, this club will satisfy me for a very long time!

By the way, the club also sounds and looks amazing. It's also great to see people's faces when they see the size of it! Ha!

Customer Service

Not needed, but I bought the club from Globalgolf.com and would not hesitate to buy from them again. They are fantastic!

Wow, picked this up basically for free when I bought a set of Precept tour premium forged irons. What a totally underrated club! I must have lucked into a perfect shaft too, because I have all of a sudden learned to hit a gentle draw with this thing. I can't hit a gentle draw with a 460cc head to save my life. Anyway they are so reasonable now on ebay you can experiment with shafts but I swing around 95 mph and I was hitting a lot of quality shots with the UST Proforce 65 stiff shaft and the 8.5 degree loft for the head.

If you are consistently wild or just inconsistent with the larger head drivers you owe it to yourself to try this club. You may be very surprised at how well you can control the ball and how long you can hit with it. As a previous reviewer says "bigger is not always better".

I'd give this higher than 5 stars, especially in the value category if I could.

I, along with Richi Red am 13 years old and hit 210-220. I unlike Richi love this driver. It is long and straight, but easy to put intentional draw on it. I have had it for 2 years and learn new ways to better the shot. It is light and easy to control.

I've been hitting this driver for 4 years now. My swing speed tested at Golfsmith is an average 112mph. This driver is perfect! I've been test driving Ping Rapture, Titleist D2,D1, Taylormade Burner, Callaway 460X, and a few others. What was amazing is that my old driver kicked the pants off these newer drivers in distance and control. I'm a scratch golfer so my swing is pretty groved, I don't need the 460cc forgiveness and frankly can't control that huge head as well anyway. I think for better golfers the 300cc of the 975J is perfect for confident workability. I shape this driver on demand and hit the ball with low spin and long carries that still roll. My average drives with this club have been consistently around 310 w/30 yards of roll. On wet days I still carry the ball 280. Don't get sold on the hype of "new tech." The closest match would be the Ping Rapture but for $430 I'll keep using my 975J!

What can i say, i was forced into taking out this 'old' driver (as mine was being re-shafted), and to be frank it was the best thing thats ever happend to my game. Perfect in every way, classic looks, great name, goes like stink, dirt cheap and the most important point for most club golfers, really helps with consistency off the tee. I missed two fairways all day hitting it long and straight, on my way to a 1 over par 71. It's safe to say my search for the perfect driver is over! Get one right now!
