Anyone know where to get a Titleist 905T Driver?
I'm looking for a Titleist 905T Driver of Loft 10.5 degrees with preferably an Aldila NV65S or X shaft. Couple of lads at my club have recently gone through a spell of aquiring these drivers and they perform very well. My colleague the shop manager has a 11.5 Degree which goes alright but a bit too high for me. I don't want to pay a fortune for one having outlaid �213 this month on a Ping Rapture but if anyone knows where there is one going at a great price could you let me know?

You'll have to let us know how you find the new titleist D1 chris, i'd for sure be interested in knowing how it performs

What shaft did you get in the D1 Chris??? Did you optimise your setup on a launch monitor?. I hope titleist start doing some demo days in nottinghamshire.
PS - looks like i've missed some deleted posts in this thread!

Oooh, a snippet of techie post.
The COR (coefficient of restitution) is a dimensionless figure based on the change of rate of the velocities of the club head and ball, in other words a ratio between how much the club head slows to the amount the ball speeds up at the point of impact. As such it's a moving constant dependent on the hardness of the ball (oh no!), the club material and the speed of the swing. A diamond hard ball and club would have a COR of 1, if they were both infinitely elastic (soft) it would be 0. It follows that the tests must be on a standard hardness ball and only take into account the relative stiffness of the club face. My driver has dimples around the sweet spot to impart this spring, in effect like the springs around a trampoline, but the COR would be effected by the type of ball I used.
The MOI (moment of inertia) is the point in space in the club head where all the forces react. The closer to the impact point of the ball the better and this is obviously restricted under the regulations. The importantance of this is that the further off the impact point of the ball the MOI is the more the club head twists. So high MOI values means that the head will not twist and the ball flys straighter.
All in all a wonderful marketing tool and totally irrelevant to anyone with a handicap over 2.
