905 R drivers

[MrGator]

anyone try,buy, use this weapon??

I have heard it is really good

[apex53]

Solid club, have had it in the bag for several years now, but will be changing to 909D2 soon

[atrapasuenos]

I have it, I really like it, I do believe that is a great club. I don't know if I'll change it for the 909D2, because the 905R is a great club.

Regards!

This might cause some quarreling, but, IMHO, the 905R is the best driver Titleist has ever made and possibly one of the best all around driver's ever produced.

Just my opinion

Id *almost* have to agree with you. I liked the 909 a bit better but if i had been on a buget i would have gone w/ the 905r.

If I didn't have 2 new drivers sitting in my room, I would be very tempted to buy this for cheap on eBay to mess around with.

I would have to agree that it is a great driver! I managed to grab one on ebay for £60 ($85) with a UST shaft and it is great, wouldnt even consider paying £250 for a new driver when ive got it!!

titleist man .....

Do you have a fast swing speed? I was wondering as to your Diamana shafts

I am findinig the Xcon pretty lite, so i am researching others...I swing smooth (about 87-91) with a driver

Best Driver i have used to this point, but i also will be switching to a 909D2 soon.

Love it

I have the 11.5 degree. This club took me from low 90's to low - mid 80's.

Agree 100%. I like updating my gear every 2 years, but I don't change a club if I absolutely love it. The 907 series did not work for me at all. I hit all three 909 drivers, and they are pretty good drivers, but not worth $500-$600 (after shaft upgrades). The 905R is still in my bag because I have worn it in and love it. I can maybe (MAYBE) add 5-10 yards with the newer selections, but I don't want to learn how to hit a different wrench. If you can get a 905 used for $150 in good condition, jump on it.

I recently upgraded to the 905R from the 975J and I've never been happier with a driver.

If I was not on a budget I'd be all over a 909D3, but I don't think the difference between them is that great that warrants spending another $400-500 to upgrade. I can wait it out and pick up a used one after Titleist comes out with their next "must have" driver, and save at least 50%. Case in point, 905R with Proforce V2 shaft in excellent condition -- $80.

They're getting harder to find

I've been keeping an eye out for one ever since I hit a friend's. I'm bidding for one on eBay right now.

Is $100 the average to pay for one?

[JawjaDawg]

Looks like it. Doesn't look like 907 D2's are that much more than the 905r's right now.

Glad to see the positive opinions in this thread. After reading the good review of it on the main site and elsewhere on the web I decided to buy a used 905R with the UST Proforce V2.

Haven't been able to hit one because finding that club in a lefty 9.5* with a V2 65 regular flex shaft from Titleist has been quite the Easter egg hunt...

I have a friend selling his good condition(7/10) 905R with Diamana Blueboard Shaft for $100. Good deal?

I've seen the 905R going from $75-$100 depending on the condition and the shaft. If that's the "real" shaft that they up-charge for I think that's in-line with what you'd expect (I believe some of them were the "made for Titleist" kind but I'm not sure). I paid $94 but like I said I didn't have many chances to find exactly what I was looking for so I couldn't really shop/wait around for a price.
