Titleist launches Pro Titanium 905 Drivers

Titleist takes driver performance to the next level with the introduction of the new Titleist Pro Titanium 905 series. Since the launch of the original Titleist Titanium 975D driver in 1997, Titleist has developed an unmatched heritage of product performance and success across every level of competitive golf. The new Pro Titanium 905T and 905S models are built upon a successful heritage of technology, engineering, and craftsmanship, and feature new material and design technology to meet and exceed the requirements of the serious golfer for looks, feel and ball flight.

The new 905 drivers feature an innovative multi material design including a CNC milled, high grade, structural aluminum hosel tube, precise cast titanium body, and a thin, high-strength beta titanium face insert. This construction allows for unproductive mass to be removed from the hosel area and strategically relocated into internal weight pads, creating a more optimal center of gravity. The plasma welded beta titanium face insert is supported by a thin outer face flange, and produces higher ball speed and the maximum allowable Coefficient of Restitution. The cleaner plasma weld process eliminates weld material in the face to create a more efficient overall weight distribution.

In order to provide all serious golfers with a driver that fits their game, the 905 line consists of two distinct models, the 905T and 905S.

The 905T features a larger front-to-back profile size for increased dynamic loft at impact and a slightly higher launch angle than the 905S. The 905S features a deep face design for reduced spin versus the 905T. The larger 400cc head sizes of both the 905T and the 905S offer outstanding playability and their highly accepted true pear profiles are designed to meet the visual requirements of tour professionals and competitive golfers.

Week in and week out Titleist drivers are among the most played on the U.S. PGA Tour and PGA European tours. Ernie Els relied upon the new Pro Titanium 905T driver in his consecutive victories at the Dubai Desert Classic and Qatar Masters.

Titleist Pro Titanium 905 drivers carry a suggested retail price of US$500 and commence shipping to US golf shops on April 1, 2005.
