Has anyone ever used a Titleist 983K 7.5? I have a chance to get one at real deal, but wont be able to try it first.

I have a swing speed of about 120 and am currently using a Tommy Armour 10.5. Average drive is around 275.

Thanks for any insight!!

without hitting it - you'd want to be sure the shaft is right for you.

7.5 is a very low loft - it may not suit your launch angle but your swing speed is quite fast. The loft won't help your launch angle - you really want to combine the shaft and loft to give you your optimum launch angle.

Seeing as how your current loft is 10.5 - that's a big change really depends on the shaft

The 983K is a lovely club - good luck whatever you choose to do!

I had a 983k and loved it, but I also had a TaylorMade TiBubble II in 7.5 and hated it. It's a huge drop from 10.5 to 7.5. Unfortunately you won't find too many 983k's in a local used club bin in 7.5. Otherwise I would tell you to go hit one there.

I have a 983 K and I love it but a 7.5 is crazy low loft, plus you have a swing speed of 120 with only 275 distance, does your ball go straight up? just doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for all the opinions!!! I think that I am going to look for a 9.5 instead. Yes, my drives do get a lot of air.

Thanks all

    • So excited you made it out! I live in Portland and go most springs. If you liked Sheep's Ranch you ain't seen nothing yet. It's incredibly picturesque and with a 2 club wind it's not a cake walk. But as far as the quality of the course in terms of challenge and interest, in my opinion it's easily the worst on the property! Also, Old Mac started as my least favorite (this was before Sheep's Ranch opened). But I listened to the fried egg podcast about it and read through Doak's descriptions and it totally changed my perspective. Now it's fighting for top spot. So excited for you!
