 McBl8de's recommendation | |
It's not a huge face compared to some of the shovels that pass for drivers.It has a muted "click" rather than a tubular "Boiiiing" at impact. It looks like a golf club should and it has a lower launch angle than every other make of the same loft.
It's too good to be used by wannabees who buy stiff shafts, low lofts and NIKE anything.
I bought my Titleist 975J from a guy who gave up on it. He had bought into the hype and burned himself out with its low loft and the "upgraded" 45" shaft, speed rated at 90+and also 1/2"tipped.
Thankfully the face was square and the original slightly firm shaft was thrown in with the modest price.
I changed shaft, trimmed to 43 3/4" and added 6 grams of lead strips to the back/bottom. It performs like the 9.5deg. I tested much earlier but couldn't afford. Playing into a wind is never a problem now. The ball stays low and pierces the air in a long shallow arc that allows the ball to run an extra ten yards or more sometimes.
The point I am trying to make is that the 975J is a very good club if bought properly.I am very happy with mine and though I have several good drivers it is the one I use where I can let the ball run.
My son had his 975J custom fitted and its impressive to watch.I don't understand anyone who spends that much money and won't do it right.I have the skill and knowledge to adjust every club in my bag,so I read most reviews with some friendly skepticism and I hope you do the same.
