I have played gold several different times over the years and has always just been a hacker. The last few months I have been able to play with some very good golfers and have greatly mproved my game. A friend gave me a Titleist 983K and I have finally gotten to were I can hit it very well. (It is 9.5 degree with a titleist shaft). One golf partner who is a lefty says if I like that club and want to upgrade he suggest a 905R with a V2 shaft. He has had a 905R and a 907 and said the only reason he likes the 907 better is it has the V2 shaft. Thanks for any comments about the club that has been suggested.

I think most people regard the 905r as more solid than the 907, however as a 905r player I am bias. Can't go wrong with the 905r although I will be most likely upgrading to the 909, heard its even more solid, more forgiving, and an improvement.

I also would love to hit the 905r, considering I just broke my driver and have been playing with my 3 wood off the tee. Love the standard look of it, and the $400 pricetag is edging me away from even trying the 909 series.

love my 905R..

picked it up at golfsmith for 150, almost brand new with a Graffaloy Epic shaft in it, great combo.

i came off a superquad TP with a v2, and i like the v2 alot more, the superquad felt really hot, but it lacked a solid feeling, i mean, you could distinguish a toe hit from a flushed shot, but you couldnt tell if you were very close. Where as with the 905, i can tell when im just off the sweet spot,

I did lose some distance wiht it tho, nothing much, just about 5-10 yards, but ive picked up alot! of accuracy with it.

(i was also a decently lon ghitter with the superquad, so it may not be the same distance loss for you)

I would I would pick up accuracy with the 905R over my current 983K. Should I also pick up distance?

coming from a 983, yes, i would think you would, at least your mis hits will carry farther, due to the increased head size.

Overall, if you can find a 905 series, the t or the s inclded, they are all great drivers.

My 983K is a 9.5 with the titleist reg flex shaft. I really want to stay with the reg flex what shafts came the 905r. My friend like I stated has the 905r and the 907 he says the 907 has the V2 and he thinks that is the only reason he likes the 907 better. I searched just a couple times and never seen the 905 with a V2. Thanks for the info.

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
