What are the differences between these 3 drivers, apart from the shape? I am thinking of a D1, but there are cheap 905R's on ebay for about half the price. What does everyone think. Will they suit my handicap. I generally drive 230-250 yards and very straight. (Over 8/14 fairways most games).

I hit the 905r for a whole round this weekend and struggled to keep it in the fairway. My driver is the 907D2 and I hit it much straighter than the 905r. I realize that the 905r is supposed to be easier to work from side to side but I found it difficult to control. I guess playing a bit more with it would help, but I like my 907D2 just fine.

After hitting dozens of drivers, I settled on the D1 a month or so ago.

I used to have a huge problem with slicin the ball, and have tried just about all of the "correction" drivers (R7, Burner Draw, ect), and the D1 seemed to be the best at keeping my shots straight.

I've been pretty happy with it, and the price has come down a bit since it was introduced.

I was considering the 905R a while ago...looked like a real deal in the used market. Then I hit a few in golf galaxy...I thought it had a big draw bias...almost impossible to go right with a 905r which may be a good thing for most people. I think that was the Titleist thought at the time they launched it. Loved the sound of it. I think you may want to look at 905t too. Great deals on ebay and all.

i am playing the 905r as well, and thinking about trying a d1. I usually either hit it straight, or fade right a bit. What i want to know is if i will be a little more consistent with a d1. I'm thinking about buying one just to try it.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
