It's a fine driver. Not enormous and classic shape.

Titleist's 905 series is widely regarded as one of the company's best drivers ever (although there is a lot of buzz about the new 909 series.) This is in contrast to the 907 series, which was widely considered a flop. (And I'm one of the many who hated it.)

There were 3 versions in the 905 line: 905R, 905S, 905T.

The 905R was the 460cc driver, while the 905S and 905T are 400cc clubs targeted as a "player's" club.

Here is the Titleist page that compares the 3 versions:

Thanks for the Info, any idea what a good price would be second hand ??
Good condition Titleist 905 T

PRO Titanium
9.5 degree

*Lamkim mid-size cross line grip in good condition.

*New Wilson Prolite+ Stiff shaft made in the U.S.A by GRAFALLOY.

*Face in good condition,there are no scratches that will decrease the clubs performance. only minor ones that you would exspect in other places from wear that do not effect performance.

*905 T head cover in good condition however one side is slightly worn.

*I would rate overall 7-8/10

This is what I am looking at

According to the PGA Value Guide, the low/mid/high resale values for a 905T are: USD $57/$75/$90.

You guys are so lucky with equipment in the USA, over here stuff is much more expensive.

Yeah, but you should see what we have to pay for a good Kiwi fruit.

[The Golfing Polack]

can anyone recommend a set of irons maybe 2 -3 seasons ??

Too many to pick from. If you're talking eBay, you can get a set of very good 3-4 yr old irons for under $300. Ping, Calloway, Taylormade RAC, Srixon 506. It all depends if you're looking for a players' iron or something with more forgiveness.

[TheWarHound]

I think, for the price, Pings on Ebay are a great way to pick up quality clubs inexpensively. Callaway's seem to run a lot higher than Pings.

Not if you buy on ebay.

You have to pay a bit more for postage. I bought a 905T, 904f 3 wood and 904f 5 wood, all as new for less than US$200 for the lot 18 months ago. add about $60 for postage to Australia. It's a global market, so take advantage!!!!!! The craziest thing is that clubs sent from the US usually take less time to arrive than ones ordered from Australia!!

I would have to second that. Cleveland golf clubs are super solid, and you can found them for great prices on line.

I am after some players Irons, like I say 2 - 3 seasons old, something that I can use down to a 3 handicap (which I am working really hard towards).
