This year alone I have owned or played about 6 drivers. Mizuno, Callaway,Cleveland just to name a few. Ironically I purchased the 905R earlier in the season with the Proforce V2 shaft that others here are raving about and just could not hit it. I felt the shaft was too stiff, and I have always played stiff, recently the Aldila NV. So I traded it in and floundered, looking for the right driver. The Callaway X 460 is by far the longest driver I have ever hit. But I was a little too inconsistent. I then decided to revisit the 905R. This time with the Graphite design YS6+ in regular and 44" long and 10.5 degree loft. WOW !!! This was a combination I never would have thought would work for me. But it does. Very consistent, straight and a boring not overly high trajectory. The first round I played with it I shot 68, not all contributing to the driver but it was a factor. Best round I shot in probably 10 years. It is consistent 245-265 and in or very near the fairway. Hit alot of demo combinations with different shafts. It will be worth your time.

Now have 2 rounds under my belt with the new Titleist 905R and all I can say is WOW!! I have only missed 3 fairways and am hitting it anywhere from 5-15 yards longer than my G5 9* NV65. The feel and workablility are awesome and the V275 with 2.2* torque is a great fit for this head. Trajectory is medium with a slight fade that carries forever and hits HOT!!! It is so much fun to swing nice and smooth and crank it down the pipe or take a rip and get the same results. I really think alot has to do with the shaft and the torque rating--but who really cares. Hitting them in the fairway and averaging 265 with a big poke of 290+ every now and then is all that matters!!

Get fitted for the right loft and shaft and you'll boom it!

FYI: ss 105-108 average drive 265ish

Excellent driver. The feel with UST shaft was so accurate that I rarely needed to see the ball's flight. At impact, I knew where it was going. This part was better than 983K with Prolite (yes I hit high).
Very workable and the huge size give you confidence. I would seriously consider this when it comes down a little in price. Few things I still like about 983K is the draw bias and I can hit it like a fairway wood. 905R is straight, but don't have bias and too big to hit it off the deck.
I am always a bit late with new technology as I believe in better swing (practice) than technology, but Titleist has made this club easy to hit and to improve.

1 year limit stinks. Callaway & TM are much much better (2 years or 5 years). They are very receptive to a demanding customers too. Although Titleist is not bad, but not up to those two companies. On par with good, but not excellent like Mizuno. = Low value.

the larger size makes it easier to make contact than the T or R 905's. you'll the trampoline effect from a wider area of the face. and the dark colored, true pear shape head does a nice job of concealing the 460cc head size and especially deep front to back profile. do i hit this further than the 905T or 983K? no. they were just as long (maybe even a tad longer on center face hits.) however i am likely to stay with the R because of the added forgiveness. the 983K is a bit small now and i like the added spin rate on the new low spin balls compared to the 905T.

Customer Service

fine, they contacted me within 48 hours after i emailed some questions.

I have tried many drivers, but this one is a real keeper! I have tried the Mizuno, Cleveland Launcher, ad infinitum. However, this one by far is the longest. I purchased the 9.5 stiff flex Adila NCS driver and, I am really impressed. I own the 983K,and the 905T but the 905R is definitely a step up.

I purchase the Titleist 905R Driver 9.5* with the Fujikura Stiff. When I went looking for a driver, I tried several on a launch monitor to make sure I picked the one that suited my swing. This one won!! Lesson learned - when purchasing a driver get custom fitted on a launch monitor and try every brand, different lofts, different shafts. It was worth it!

Absolutely a great Driver!! This club is easy to align, the ball come hot of the face, and long long long..!! My range with this club is 245 - 275 (measured on the course during normal playing conditions). I believe Titleist has finally design a club that will suit the mid-handicap player.

Have not had to use it.

I have been playing the 983K for a year. The 905R is a better club than the 983K. Larger sweet spot and still lets you work the ball. I needed a driver to try and get more consistent drives and went with the 905R. I went to a demo day and got fitted. I was hitting a high draw. A shot that I can rarely hit with the 983K. I don't play that well and won't boast about any 300 yard drives, but that is why I got this club. I really like the head shape and I don't feel like I am swinging a melon.

My launch has been low with the 983K around 10 degrees. With the deep CG with the 905R I was up to 13degrees without teeing it up too high. My ball speed was 146mph and a spin if 2800. I really like the ball flight. Titleist has made a great driver for the masses that still is great for better players. I guess that is why the 905R is 50 bucks more than the R7 460 on ebay. Go out and try it on the range or a demo day.

I am a true believer in Titleist...I just recently switched from the 983K to the new 905R and it is phenomenal. Titleist continues to provide a good looking driver with it's new line of clubs. The bigger head (460cc) with it's larger sweet spot will allow you to swing away with confidence. The 905R allows a little extra room for error with off-center hits. I have the Aldila 65 gram stiff flew shaft with a Winn XF midsize grip (black). I will forever be a Titleist customer!

Titleist 983K

I work in a pro shop, so i always hear about a variety of clubs as well as opinions on them (Like...whats easy and hard to hit). For example, I hear that Ping and Cobra are easy to hit, the R7 is good, and Titleist is generally a hard club to hit (or for the good golfers).
The 905R i have is a 10.5 degree regular flex. This driver gets good distance, and after practice i worked out the slice (it wasnt the club). I just needed to adjust to bringing a 460cc head through on time.
Aldiva NV65 regular flex shaft... I would definitely suggest a stiff flex for golfers who are improving, or plan on increasing thier swing speed. However, it is a really good shaft, and when i connect its like boom.
Honestly, i was initially nervous with the club but with a little practice and better swing speed tempo i now love the 905R.

p.s. i got a deal from the pro so even though the price is up there i gave it a 5 on value.

Simply the best driver on the market today. I have never liked Titleist drivers in the past. I have always been disappointed by the performance. After playing the Callaway FT-3 for many months now I was in search for a driver that could provide good distance and better accuracy. The ft-3 is still the longest driver I have ever hit but the control was sometimes lacking. The Titleist 905R was the answer. I lack only about 10 yards on average but the difference in direction makes it a worthy trade-off. The feel is fantastic and the sound is really wonderful. The UST shaft produced a controlled and aggressive ball flight. I can not think of anything negative to say about this club at this time. Try it for yourself. With the correct shaft you will not be disappointed!

Customer Service

Never needed them. But a company like Titleist has to be top notch.
