Titleist 975F Fairway Woods

Titleist 975F Fairway Woods 

DESCRIPTION

The 975F is the ultimate combination of size and weighting in a fairway metal, producing a sweet, solid feel and sound. The lower center of gravity and increased face roll provide the proper launch angle and easy-up playability. The internal weighting is forward biased to reduce spin and produce a flatter downrange trajectory, the hallmark of all Titleist 975F fairway metals. The leading edge is beveled and radiused and the sole is crowned along the center for playability from all types of lies.

The Titleist 975F is by far the most consitent fairway wood I have ever used. The Trajectory is great, and the weighting and head size is also great. It gets very good distance and center hits get very good feedback.

I have been playing the original Titleist 975F 3-wood for a few years now. It is a bore through head with a UST ProForce 65 Stiff shaft. I am very long, straight, and consistent with this club. It has really helped a lot lately with lowering my scores by getting me to some long Par 5''''s in two. I would strongly urge you to buy this club if you haven''''t already done so!

The people at Titleist are great! I have dealt with them on several times and they have been extremely helpful and quick to respond.

Model Reviewed: 975F: 18.5º, True Temper Dynamic Gold S-300 flex

What can I say? This is the most beautiful club I have played outside of persimmon woods. I do admit, the small head of the 18.5º model looks intimidating after teeing up all those 300cc+ drivers that are out today. This problem was quickly resolved after one bucket of balls. Fantastic club. I can fade or draw the ball perfectly at will. Amazing feel. I also bombed it. I hit it almost as far as my 3 wood a couple of times. Good club, good value (at right places :p), good name. Can''t really go wrong if you''re a better than average player that plays regularly. Not to say that the average Joe can''t hit it, but it might take a consistent swing to get the full benefits of this great club.

Model Reviewed: 975f 13.5 and 18.5 S-90 Steel

I have to say that my 18.5 degree 975f is a beast. It''''''''s my "Scoring Wood". I normally play a fade, but with this club I can wrap a fade or draw around a tree at will and I can back off on it on long par-3s. The 13.5 is more of a 2-wood. I haven''''''''t been able to work it. Maybe I''''''''ll get the 14.5 instead.

I purchased this club used in excellent condition with a stiff grafalloy prolite fairway shaft. At golfsmith I was hitting the club between 255 and 265 yards with a slight draw. The club can be difficult to hit unless you are a serious golfer and you have time to practice. The club can also be unforgiving, my miss hits only go about 210 yards and my solid hits go 255+. When the club is hit well it is amazing and it beats any other fairway wood, but when you miss hit the club you pay the price.

Tremendous accuracy and distance. Can hit it straight or place a beautiful draw on the ball. Distance is about 225-250 metres. Best club in the bag along the formed forged chrome 60 degree. Strongly recommended.

This is a really great club. I purchased it in June, and took it to the range the day I bought it. It was awesome. It did take some getting used to, but if you put a good swing on the ball, the results are consistent and very pleasing. It is a players'' club, unlike the Callaway which sends the ball off at a higher trajectory. When I started looking at new woods, I tried the mizuno, titleist and callaway. All are excellent clubs, and it when came down to the Mizuno or Titleist for me, I went with the Titleist and am very happy. I am high school golfer and can hit it consistently around 240-250. It is not difficult to play with out of the rough, and on some tight par 4''s, I use it on the drive. It is a great club, but make sure it is the right one for you.

I used to have one of the first metal woods made in the Lynx Predator. I loved that one but it was weak in the hosel so I had to park it. I went to an offset 2 iron which is inconsistant and I can''t use it well out of the rough. This wood is relatively small compared to other new clubs and can get through rough very well. I am able to get good distance and a higher trajectory. I can count on 225 yards with great accuracy. This has become one of the best clubs in my bag. I really don''t need a 13.5 degree, but this club goes so well I am considering the addition.

I was hitting a Callaway Hawkeye 12.5 degree 3+ but couldn''t get the ball off the turf. Off the tee it''s sweet, but it didn''t do the trick off the fairway. I use a 975D so I thought I''d play with the 975F. I grabbed a 13.5 degree with a Grafalloy prolite fairway shaft. I fould that getting down and getting the ball is no trouble. The trajectory is somewhat lower than I would have expected and sometimes leaves me hitting an 18 degree where I was used to hitting the 13. It gives up nothing in distance and does not tend to balloon shots allowing for ample roll out. I am not able to stop it as well as I hoped due to the low trajectory, but it makes a very adequate 3 Wood for it''s ability to bang it up the fairway 250 or so. All in all, if I am playing a short course, I put the Callaway in my bag. If I''m playing a long course I carry the titleist. I do this because the short courses allow more use of a 5 wood than a three. I don''t see replacing the club anytime soon.

Let me start by saying that I've never been much of a fairway wood player. My set has been a Driver and 1-LW for a long, long time. For some reason over the past few years the 1 iron, which used to be my best club, has slowly become my worst. I have no idea why.

Since I already have a bag full of Titleist clubs it was natural to first look at the 975F. I don't usually buy the first thing I see, but I was completely amazed by this club. I was surprised by how easily I could hit the 14.5 off the deck, and by how penetrating the ball flight was. Since I've not hit a fairway wood for some 15 years, I didn't really know what to expect, but I'm hitting it 245 or so out the fairways. The fairways on my home course are pretty tight, and I usually have no problem with height. Off the tee I get between 250-260. I can easily hit it high or low be simply adjusting the tee height. That sounds so simple, but I can't do the same thing with my driver, though I wish I could.

I ordered my 3 wood with a 6.0 Rifle steel shaft and a Winn grip. While I love the club, I do think it a bit absurd that it took Titleist over 5 weeks to get it to me. Last year I ordered 12 irons and received them in 9 days, so I don't know what the delay was. Regardless of the long wait, the club was very much worth it. I suspect my 1-iron will forever live in my closet.

5 weeks is too da#*@! long to wait for one club. Get it together, Titleist!

No other fairway woods. Nearly all the Titleist products I've tried have been very pleasing though.
