I think the 906F2 is a little better. It's not as leftward biased as the 904 with a more forward CG, it's a bit broader in the toe and heel area, and the leading edge is just about the lowest point, so hitting it off of fairways is a tad easier. The old 904 had to be a bit further back in your stance (which also helped to counter the leftward tendency), in my opinion.

The 585 is a better player's TM Rescue Dual TP. It's tougher to hit, has a lower ballflight, but can be worked a lot more easily and also can change trajectories quite well. I like how it looks more at address as well. The sound off both is more like persimmon than TaylorMade's "tink-ier" sound.

Is it true that the Titleist UST v2 shafts are tougher to get in the air? I keep hearing that from other people talking on other sites.

Off the fairway, a little bit. Off the tee, no. But it's not a "Titleist UST v2 shaft" - it's a regular UST ProForce v2 in a Titleist clubhead. But it may launch lower because it's a bore-through head on an already lower-spinning, lower-launching shaft.

I'm not sure that I understood you correct. Could you explane it?

None of us who have responded know for sure who you're talking about. You didn't quote anybody.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
