    • All of the 905R loft models have 460 cc club heads and are 45 inches long. Grips for the clubs vary from .58 inches to .60 inches in diameter. The 905R models all generate 150 revolutions per minute of spin on the ball.

    Parts

    • The 905R drivers have a 6-4 titanium body. The insert in the face on the club head is made of beta-titanium. The 905R features a 6061 T-6 aluminum hosel tube connecting the shaft and the head. You can choose between four different shafts. Among them are the Aldila NV 65, Graphite Design YS-6+, Fujikura Titleist Speeder and UST Proforce V2 75.

    Features

    • The 905R has separate face, body and hosel parts so you can replace them individually if you need to. The head has a pear shape and is designed to increase the ideal striking area on the face by 35 percent when compared to previous Titleist drivers. The 905R is designed to increase the moment of inertia so you can swing down through your shot at a faster speed. The drivers have an acoustic sole plug so that the sound is less severe when you strike the ball.
