Which is better? I'm looking for the 905r but can't seem to find one that has the shaft in it that i want, but in looking on titleist's website and Erik's review, they seem to be the same club, but the 907d2 is more forgiving. Give me the pros and cons of both, thanks!

Everyone I personally know who has used both prefers the 905R. The D2 is widely considered a "flop" (that's the word a Titleist staffer I know used.) For what it's worth, I tried the D2 and didn't care for it. And IMHO, it didn't feel like a more forgiving 905R. But I've never been a Titleist driver guy, so YMMV.

If you prefer the 905R and just can't find the shaft you want, maybe you should consider waiting until the fall when the 909 line is scheduled to come out. Rumor has it than it's a good driver that is based on the 905. The D2 is the 460cc head, while the D3 is the 440cc head. Hope this helps.

I try them both and I pick the 905R. I like more the shape of the 905R and the sound is adictive.

Regards.

I've never tried 905R. The 907D2 I demo-ed few times left no impression on me at all. From other forum than thesandtrap choose 905R over 907D2. Even the cover boy of Titleist, Adam Scott (and many more) went back to 905R although he covers it with D2 headcover.

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
