Well i had a try with a couple during the week and didnt really get on with any of the stock shafts available,so put in an order with my local Titleist rep for one with a Graphite Design Purple Ice which i currently have and have been using for quite a while,and clearly like.

Looking on the Golfworks and Golfsmith website the shafts no-longer appear to be being made/available.Any one know any different to this ???????

I can see this being a non-starter and the club never appearing ........


I only know one person with the 905 so far and like me he currently has/had a 983k.So far he's struggling with the 905.Any other reports so far..... ?????

You should just order the stock club, pull the Graphite Design shaft out of your 983, and load that bad boy in the 905.

1st - Titleist drivers aren't the most forgiving so unless your single digits don't bother.

2nd - DO NOT REPLACE THE SHAFT

Read Titleist's info on warranty/reshafting specifically the 905's - http://www.titleist.com/mediacenter/...ail.asp?id=144


The following outlines our policy and procedures regarding 905 driver reshafting. A warning label will be placed on all 905 drivers as follows:



The label reads...

CRITICAL WARRANTY INFORMATION Titleist Pro Titanium 905
1. Titleist 905 drivers feature an innovative, CNC milled aluminum hosel tube for optimum weight distribution.
2. The use of conventional reshaft methods will damage or compromise the structural integrity of the hosel tube.
3. In order to maintain the Titleist factory warranty, all reshaft or repair work must be done by the Titleist repair department.
4. Please call Titleist at 1-800-742-7609 or visit titleist.com/reshaft for more information.

Titleist Repair/Reshaft Policy
Consistent with our long standing policy, the only way to maintain the factory warranty on a Titleist golf club is to have any repair or reshaft work done by Titleist. Any work done on any club outside of Titleist will void the factory warranty.

905 Reshaft and Return Procedures (through the Titleist Repair Dept)
There are three ways to return 905 drivers to Titleist for reshaft work. All returns must have an RA# or they will not be accepted.

1. Return the product through an authorized Titleist golf professional or golf retailer.
2. Call Titleist directly at 1-800-742-7609.
3. Email Titleist directly at DriverReshaft@acushnetgolf.com

Well Paco,

1st Titleist is a players club, but whether it fits a person doesnt depend on the persons handicap as muchas his/her swing.

2nd If he wants to reshaft it why cant he. He can send it into Titleist and they will move the shaft over, or can put whatever shaft he wants in it for him. The turn around time is a week on reshafting the new driver.

We have sold several and have had nothing but great feedack. All our customers that have hit it really are pleased. I have hit all of the drivers and like the 905 the best. It is solid! I am also a fan of the Launcher Comp and the G2 but the best in my humble opinion is the 905. But as you can see I am a Titleist guy.

My buddy is a Titleist freak. I joke with him and tell him if Titleist made toilet paper, hed buy it.

He just got the 905T and is not as accurate with it yet. He is a 2. I think possibly the shaft isn't right for him. He can hook it once and then slice it. He used to just have a strong fade with his 983.

Sorry I should have been clearer when I wrote my reply.
Although even though I like the 905 I still feel there are better drivers out there for the mass of people.
About the shaft remarks, what I meant was for him personally not to re-shaft it or that his clubmaker might not know about the 905's new hosel design and to have Titleist do it.
Heck when I get a new club, having "my" shaft and "my" grip installed is the first thing I do :)

Many thanks for the reply Paco and the information.For you info i already have and LOVE the Titleist 983K i am using,am currently playing of scratch and the shaft is being fitted at the factory,so no problems there.

Crossed my mind dipgolf BUT,i know i can hit the 983k so im going to keep it as a spare while i get used to the 905 / incase i dont really like the 905.Dont see much point destroying ones that does actually work !!!

    • 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.
