Does anyone play these fairway metals? If so what degree loft? I am going to make a purchase in the next couple of days. I currently have the 980F in a 17 degree loft. I was wanting to get the 15 degree but unsure if it will be as easy to hit off the deck. I am looking to gain some extra distance off the tee of short par 4's as well as more distance off the deck on par 5's. Looking to get the speeder shaft in Stiff flex. Thanks for your info.

Man, they are the best. I have never hit a better fairway wood. Easy to control, Long, Straight. You cant go wrong. I work at Golf headquarters in lubbock texas, and we have sold out of them. All the feedback we have gotten it nothing but totally positive. Easy to hit, we are fitting all types of golfers with this club. I have gone from a 13 degree(PT 13 non-bore through) to a 15 degree in the new 904. It is long. I Love this club.

I've never been a fan of their faiway woods but the 904 are the best I've ever hit!!! I have the 13 & 17 with the stock steel shaft's and I love hitting them off the tee and anywhere on the course. Great control and they feel awesome!

I have the 15 degree and 19 degree. I can just about hit the 15 degree (what I call a 3 wood) as far as my 905 driver. It is amazing, and like the others have said, I have a lot of control over it. I just swing it really easy and hit it down the middle.

It has an awesome sound at impact.. I am definitely happy with these clubs.

I'm pondering a move the 904's as well. I hit my PT 15 very high and with tons of spin. I'm considering a 13deg 904.

Just curious...those of you with the a 904 what shaft/loft combinations are you playing?

Thanks!

I LOVE my new Titleist 904F Fairway woods. I have a 15 and 19 degree with the YS Graphite Shaft. They have a nifty "whack" sound when you hit them. They are extremely easy to use. My 3-wood carries 200 hundred yards consistently. Even a "miss" gets the ball airborne.

They were a terrific addition to my golf bag

Yep, I agree with Stacy. Like I said, I have the 15 and 19 degree clubs with the YS Shaft. The shaft is a very pretty blue as well.

I have hooked about two pretty badly, but I had the ball teed up WAY too high and just popped them up. Other than that, I have been hitting them 230ish to 250ish. I have even neared the 280 mark a few times with a lot of roll on these hard Oklahoma fairways.

When I mishit them, they still go 200 and leave me in a liveable situation.

I love my 904F. I can hit it a mile both off the tee and off the deck. I have a 15 degree with a Vista Pro 90 exta stiff shaft.

TaylorMade just came out with the r7 3 wood with two moveable weights. I have one and it KILLS! You might want to try that one too before you buy a Tit.

Ditto on the sound at impact... these fairway woods are awesome. I don't have much to compare them to but the 904F is an awesome club. I've got the 15 and 19 degree with graffaloy blue regular-flex shafts. Beautiful clubs. Another manufacturer would have to come out with something pretty special to replace these clubs. Off the tee or off the deck they are wonderful. When you hit one well it produces the best sound and pleasing results.

Interesting comments...I haven't had a chance to hit these yet but am curious. I'd probably try out the R7 3 wood as well.

I still have my steelhead plus and love it so I've never had the need to switch...yet.

Fairways and Greens.

Yeah, the sound on the 904 is excellent, it's more of a "thwack" like my old 970 and PT fairways, opposed to that tinny/ping sound produced by the 980F and various other fairway woods.
As far as distance, I've found it to be not as long as my 970 but the mis-hits with the 904 are like exponentially better than the 970 due to the larger head.

    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
    • Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.  
    • Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot. 
    • I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
