The Pro Titanium 905S in 2005: what it was

The Pro Titanium 905S was built around the smaller, lower-spinning member of the 905 family. It was aimed at better players who wanted a lower, more penetrating flight. We could not confirm its exact head volume from a manufacturer source, so it is not listed.

Buying a used Pro Titanium 905S: checklist

  1. Loft: read the loft stamped on the sole. Because the hosel is glued, that number is final.
  2. Face: look for cracks, dents or a caved-in look at the centre. A cracked face can't be repaired.
  3. Crown: sky marks and paint chips are cosmetic; dents are not.
  4. Shaft and grip: check the flex label. A worn grip costs little to replace; a shaft that is too stiff costs you carry.
  5. Price check: we could not verify current used prices, so compare recent sold listings before you buy (eBay sold listings).

Showing the 8 most recent steps.

Who should still buy one?

  • Buy it if you already hit a low ball flight with enough speed, and you like a compact look.
  • Skip it if you can stretch to a recent used model (the last three or four years) — the forgiveness gap is bigger than the price gap.
  • Skip it if you need a different loft than the one stamped on the head; it can't be changed.
