905r and 906f Woods

[bm303]

Considering I broke my driver a few weeks ago, I am in desperate need of one. I need a driver and I also plan to purchase a 3 wood, since I really need stiff woods with a swing speed in the high 90's. I find the 905r driver and 906f woods very appealing, especially at such a low price. I hit the 906 3 wood and it seemed very traditional and felt great at impact. What's everyones views on the 909r driver? Is this equipment considered too "out-dated"? Very often when I am playing against a scratch golfer I see them carrying these clubs, so would a mid-low 80's player that is constantly improving suit these clubs? Thanks a lot.

The 905r is a solid driver, it used to be one of the most played on tour, but if you dont work the ball a ton I suggest you should try some more forgiving style woods, vut hey if it suits you then its the right club.

The 905R is a very good driver, and it was used a lot on tour even last year with the 907's because for tour players the 907 head spun a little too much. The 909's have been replacing the 905R, so that shows you how solid of a stick they are, but again the 905R is a very solid driver.

As for the fairway woods, which 906F are you talking about? The 906F2 or 906F4? I have the F4, and IIRC it is the lower launching fairway wood, and it is very workable, I personally hit the 18.5* 5 wood just as far as every 3 wood that I hit, so I only carry the 5 wood.

I really don't know if the f2 or f4 would suit me better. I tend to have a mid- ranged ball flight and some higher launch couldn't hurt. I just find these woods very appealing and if I could pick them up for under $250 for both I think it would be a great deal. I need to find a 905 somewhere and try it out with different shafts and see if it's the club for me. I hit the 15.5* f4 and it seemed very hot off the face. I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for all of these.

I have the 905R and the 906F2, I really enjoy this clubs. I think that these clubs had helped me to lower my handicap. I think that you wouldn't have a problem with these clubs.

Regards!
