    hated the 905R, selling it after 3 days.

    hmm i hit an aldila vs proto 80S yesterday and i didn't like it much either. they didn't have any X-stiff shafts so i couldn't try any but the vs also seemed to somewhat balloon up. i definitely want to try a lower loft now. the R was a 9.5, the FT-5 i hit with the vs 80S was a 9.5 and my...

    hated the 905R, selling it after 3 days.

    for those wanting to purchase Titleist 905R Driver 9.5 Proforce V2 Stiff - (item 290142134870 end time Jul-27-07 16:58:32 PDT) as far as swing speed, well i haven't been on a launch monitor in awhile so im not sure how that has changed, but the v2 doesn't feel very whippy so the thought of the...

    hated the 905R, selling it after 3 days.

    well im definitely hitting it in the sweet spot, i can see the majority of the ball dimplies right in the center where there are no grooves. the sound thing is kind of throwing me off. i can't see how anyone could like the sound it makes so the thought of it maybe being a fake head entered my...

    back on the driver hunt...

    jump on the 905R train. also whats the blueboard? ive heard people mention that shaft a lot. ive only tried a few shafts (proforce v2, aldila nv65, and some terrible stock gold cleveland shaft) and so far the v2 76g stiff shaft seems to fit my swing. i swing really hard and fast and the heavy...

    just bought a driver ive never hit before...

    well i just went to my range and demo'd a 905R with v2 stiff. the only difference is that the demo was a 10.5* and i bought a 9.5*. i love everything about the driver but i mainly think im in love with the shaft. the v2 just feels so much more solid consistent than the nv65. im guessing its the...

    best stand bag?

    im still using my first golf bag (walter hagen stand bag) and im starting to realize how terrible it is. i bought that bag before i even started playing golf and didn't know what to look for in a bag. the club dividers suck and my grips get stuck on them when i try to pull a club out. the legs...

    i wanted to punch a guy on the course

    well im still fairly new to the game and no ive never marked my ball. for me, it is always easy to identify my ball. i can just remember every mark or scratch on it. i don't normally play new balls but ive learned my lesson and will start marking all of my balls.
