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.

    • Day 283 - 2025-07-10 Got some work in while waiting for someone to show up for a GEARS lesson (they did not, and haven't reached out in 24 hours, so I'm getting a bit worried). Also recorded a video for @saevel25.
    • I agree. Personally, I've been watching the LPGA for a couple decades. My wife and I attended the US Women's Open in Edina, MN way back in 2008.  Two comments:  1 - I also enjoy another women's sport; Softball. The College Softball World Series is a big event in our household. Interestingly, my niece plays softball and my nephew plays baseball. Often we go watch them both play the same weekend. Both games will have the same start time. I have to say I enjoy the softball more than the baseball. The women are on a 20 second pitch clock. Yeah, you read that right 20 seconds. Plus, the players stand in the dugout the entire game and sing and/or chant stuff the whole time. Tons of energy. The game moves along at a fast pace. We often watch my niece's entire game and then go over to watch my nephew and they are in the 3rd inning. The baseball seems to move at a crawl after coming over from the softball game.  2 - My daughter and I have taken to watching the youtube channel "The Golf Girl Games". Great content. Very entertaining. If you haven't watched them yet, I recommend them. 
    • It's not too far off, Scott. You can probably let the arms go up earlier in the backswing so the change of direction isn't quite so dramatic.

    • I haven’t really filmed in a while. Starting to feel like my body is close to being at full strength again, but I am also 65! I played a few round and my distance is down as expected. Here are a 6 iron and driver swing. My grip is a bit weak in these so I’ve focused on that the last few days. I went over my Erie notes. I’m trying to swing down from the top and not out. I want my weight to start shifting forward at about P3. And I want to push my left hip back in the downswing, which I was not successful in these swings. Ball flight has been pushes or pull draws with the irons and fades with the driver. Looking at these swings I can see why. I just need to change the picture.
