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!

What's in the bag

Driver: 9.5* 905R w/ Proforce UST V2 (X)
3w: UST Proforce FW stiff 15*
Hybrid: 585H 19* Aldila "by you" xIrons: CG1 3-PW s300 dynamic goldWedges: 53*/58* Putter: Mid SurBall: whatever I feel like buying that day

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.
