How many times have you heard me talk about Titleist's desire to market themselves towards higher skilled players? This is going to be another example of this scenario, so if you have already read too many of these type reviews and cannot bear to sit through another one I would advise checking out another one of our links. However, for those who are fond of Titleist's products stick around, because the 905R driver is going to be a very intriguing decision. While Titleist generally tends to stick to traditional style and design, this is one example where that is not a bad thing. The Titleist 905R is a traditional looking driver that features prominent performance and professional appeal.

High launch. Low spin. Maximum ball velocity. These are the ingredients to maximize driving distance. These are the performance deliverables built into Titleist Pro Titanium drivers.

The construction of the Titleist 905R is worthy of a second look. Constructed with an all-titanium alloy and molded into a pear-shaped club head, the Titleist 905R gives the user a little more confidence in their long distance game. Overall I have the feeling that the 905R is going to become a popular driver amongst higher skilled users, which is what I have come to expect from every new series of clubs that Titleist releases.

In terms of appearance, the Titleist 905R driver is a very standard Titleist club. It is a simple and effective design that gives it plenty of power, and every user will know that this club doesn't need any fancy gimmicks to give it any more prestige. The sleek and powerful look of the Titleist 905R driver complement its performance well, and will certainly show the competition that you are not the type of golfer to be underestimated. While people say you will live and die on the green, you can't do that until you get on the green in the first place, and the Titleist 905R driver is certainly going to help you do that.

The Titleist Pro Titanium 905R driver features a 460cc classic pear-shaped titanium head, the maximum allowed under the Rules of Golf. The Titleist 905R is designed with all the core performance deliverables that have made Titleist Pro Titanium drivers the choice of tour players, PGA club professionals, top amateurs and serious golfers at every level of competitive golf. The largest volume Titleist driver ever, the Pro Titanium 905R offers high launch, low spin and maximum ball velocity, with the added benefit of a 460cc head size for greater stability on off-centre impacts. The increased head volume provides 10 percent higher inertia for increased forgiveness and a 35 percent larger maximum ball speed area for improved driving performance.

The Titleist 905R features a deeper Centre of Gravity (CG) which creates a higher launch angle and a slightly higher spin than 905S and 905T with a flatter downrange flight. Bore-thru design offers a solid shaft feel and greater stability and a square face for a square set up. The Titleist 905R is constructed of 6-4 Titanium for the body and has a SP7000 Titanium face insert. The CNC milled 6061 T-6 aluminium hosel tube reduces hosel mass and allows weight to be redistributed lower and deeper in the clubhead to optimize CG location and dynamic face closure. It has strategic weight pads in the skirt walls for optimum CG and has the Maximum Allowable Coefficient of Restitution (COR) for Higher Ball Speed. The 905R replaces the Pro Titanium 905T and complements the 400cc Pro Titanium 905S. The Titleist 905R launches one-half degree higher and spins approximately 350rpm more than the 905S. With an extensive selection of lofts and shafts, the 905R driver is capable of optimizing the launch conditions of a wider range of serious golfers.
