Been searching ebay and the net for a Titleist 905r 8.5 with stiff V2 shaft. For the right price of course. WELL I GOT ONE. Arrived today.

Mint condition £125 deliverd. Good price or what. Give it a test drive tomoz. Hope it wont snow aghhhhhhhhhhh.

Anyone else use one of these???????

Anyone else use one of these??????? ...

with that shaft spec and clubhead loft Ernie Els probably ?

quality driver Paul , as of course most Titleist Drivers {and their other gear} in general are

'tis a 'stiff' shaft though the V2 - I assume you've had a trial with one before purchase ?

Yep the 9.5 though, Found the flight a little high, So maybe a no brainer goes for a 8.5 insead.

at £125 then for a club of that quality you're well set , top bombing !!!

Yeah Paul that is a great price. I've always been a bit worried about buying things on Ebay. But if you can get a quality driver like that I'm gonna start looking myself. Good Luck with it!

Phil.C

Just bought myself a Taylor made R7 460 on ebay for £110!!! Not bad at all

Thanks guys
Went out today with it. Blody awesome i can say. Just a nice ball flight. What a different a 8.5 makes compared to a 10.5 i had previously. You wouldent think would you. But more controled because of the lower ball flight.
Thanks Phill. You look mate, There was a couple on there the other day. A 9.5 and 10.5 and also 11.5 degree loft.

And Mike, What a great price on the TM 460. I did think of one of them before the 905r. But was told it one of the most copied out there. (taylor made) So didnt want to take the chance.

Blody noisy driver though.;O)

I used: 6uranus to buy my TM. I was worried about fakes but his feedbacks are very good and some do mention that they are genuine. I was a little worried that he has all his items as private as you can't see what people have bought, but we will see when it arrives. Also, i have been following a lot of the auctions from this seller, and most R7s he was selling would reach between £125 and £150, so i waited and waited until i could get a bargain. I think this seller is genuine.

How would you tell if it were a fake?

Mike
To be honest mate i dont know if it jumped out and bit me on the nose.
I have used TM drivers before but bought them from my local pro shop. So they were the real mackoys.
That why i didnt want to jump in and get one to be honest. Transformed to Titleist now though from a Mr Mizuno i was once called at the club.

good news about the driver Paul , pleased to hear it went well

being somewhat an 'everything is rose tinted with Titleist' bloke myself I'm somewhat part tempted -- or maybe it's just because I've not bought anything new for a couple of years ? :0)

{still using 983K & 690 irons}

odd , but the only thing turning me off the 905R is 460cc head size :0/ -- tried the 905T {400cc head} but noticed no major difference to present 983K

I can feel the calling of something new but not sure what or where I'm being called to ! ;0)

Paul
I had no choice mate, Being a true blue Mizuno everything in the past. Due to a serious eye operation which gave me 3 years rest. Sold all my Mizuno gear 3 years ago coz i though i wouldent be playing golf again. Also sold my dearest powakaddy sport trolley.

So made the plunge and bought Titleist this time, And what a difference, I`m blody playing better now already. And only been back since before christmas.

Bought a new set off ebay of the Titleist 704 cb. one word. AMAZING. only cost me £200. blokw bought the wrong shaft. He needed regular and not stiff. so i bought them. still in their wrappers they were. 1st time i played stiff shaft to. LOL
Well it worked out better than i thought it would changing to Titleist and to Stiff shaft. (i`m a born again golfer i am)

Sorry paul forgot to mention the mass of the 460 head on the 905r. Yes it big........Blody loud to.
But after everything else, Its fine once you get used to it. You can shut your eyes and hit the ball no probs. But once your teed up and at address, The Driver feels and looks shorter because of the big 460 head for some reason. And i think it alot easier to use because of that.Feels like a 3 wood to me.
Go one mate get one. V2 shaft looks cool to. Get a real bargain on ebay for £125 like i did.
Wait to find the club you want on ebay, Make sure there are no bids with like 4 or less days to go. Then offer the seller about £100 to start then hassle him to sell for another £25 more. They give up in the end. Well mine did anyway.. Ha Ha///
